Sadie Sink comments on Ellie's struggles in Darren Aronofsky's TheWhale
Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale created a lot of buzz for the right reasons this year. The movie brought back Brenden Fraser to the big screen, who gave a heart-wrenching performance as Charlie, an overweight and reclusive English professor trying to make amends with his estranged daughter Ellie, played by Sadie Sink. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the cast and director discussed their characters in detail.
The Whale follows Charlie who is ridden with guilt and is at severe risk of congestive heart failure. All he wants to do is to know he’s done at least one thing right in his life. This brings him to reconnect with his daughter, who agrees on the condition that Charlie helps her rewrite an essay for school. Fraser describes this as Charlie’s “redemption story.
She further explains, “And I think she has no idea who she is, she’s very insecure, I think.” She divulges about Ellie’s relationship with her estranged father saying, “...it’s this game that she’s become really good at playing that’s kind of a challenge for Charlie, but the thing about him is that he’s able to kind of see past all of it and I don’t want to ensure her that there’s a part of herself that he sees so clearly that I think is good, I think there’s good in her.
