This is such a sad movie!

People can also react to other people being killed with the following emotions:
Sympathy and sadness.
I disagree with your belief that people react indifferently to other people being killed because we are confronted with it every day. That is not why. It is because they have not been taught to react in a proper way, either as a young person or as an adult. When younger, their parents and others did not teach them to feel for others, including humans being hurt or killed in a movie or television program and that you should feel sad for both animals and humans. As adults, they did not have people around them to let them know that inappropriately reacting while viewing something in a movie or television program would not be tolerated. -

I agree with you. When i first saw this movie, and specially the scene when the female orca was harpooned, i cried. Annd a lot. The scene when the fetus is expulsed out of thhe female orca's body was also heart breaking. But the secee that broke my heart was whenn the male orca is taking his death mate to the shore. This movie is much more realistic than most of it's genre.

I agree with you and I have never seen the entire movie. I saw these key scenes last night on VH-1's "I Love the '70's - Part 2) last night. Wow! My college aged daughter was really upset. These scenes have quite an impact, much more like a horror movie, no, a tragedy. Much different than Jaws's impact. I love Roy Scheider, but, perhaps actors such as Richard Harris and Charlotte Rampling showed their reaction to killing the female whale by mistake in such a strong fashion. I've been fighting to forget these scenes since I saw them last night. Yes, very sad. Of course, the actors/comedians on this show thought it was all just stupid.

If you are wishing for the humans to die then you are not getting the story or really feeling for the human characters. Noland made a tragic mistake. Why wish for him to die when he was honestly sorry? Some of the humans that died were not at all responsible for what happened to the female and her calf, yet they died. That is something to mourn, not be happy over.
