Tortuga – Die unglaubliche Reise der Meeresschildkröte (2009)

Tortuga – Die unglaubliche Reise der Meeresschildkröte: Directed by Nick Stringer. With Miranda Richardson, Jessica Coch, Hannelore Elsner, Cristina Plazas. A little loggerhead turtle follows in the path of her ancestors on one of the most extraordinary journeys in the natural world. Born on a beach in Florida, she rides the Gulf Stream all the way to the frozen north and ultimately swims around the entire North Atlantic to Africa and back to the beach where she was born.

“This movie is about a Loggerhead Turtle, yet the narrator anthropomorphizes the motivations of the turtle and all other creatures over the course of the entire movie. As people, we have emotions like hate, jealousy, and revenge. Animals donu0026#39;t. In the movie, they describe a behavior of the turtle as u0026quot;revengeu0026quot; but actually the turtle is simply eating, and, as an animal, has no sense of revenge. Also, all predators are described as u0026quot;bad.u0026quot; They play scary music when a predator is on screen, and use terminology that imply that being a predator is a bad thing, when actually Loggerheads can be rather predatory, yet they donu0026#39;t play the scary music then.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs the summary notes, the camera shots are very, very good. But they cannot help a horrible script. There are many much better movies about the ocean, and about sea turtles, and this one should be pretty low down on the list.”
