The Sea Beast

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched The Sea Beast. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: “When a young girl stows away on the ship of a legendary sea monster hunter, they launch an epic journey into uncharted waters - and make history to boot.” Ashley loved the seafaring lingo. Dave sees this film as a commentary on human ignorance and our ruthless war against the natural world. Justin thinks this film is a thinly veiled take-down of the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, and an oil-and-gas-loving Western oligarchy that has been destroying the Earth’s ecosystems through unfettered expansionism and natural resources exploitation rooted in a Judaeo-Christian worldview that places mankind at the centre of the universe. Also, everyone thought the animation was real good.
