A really beautiful score


For many people, Orca is just a mediocre ripoff of Jaws but I've always enjoyed the film. It has some solid acting in it and the effects are believable. But I think the film's true strongpoint is the amazing score by Ennio Morricone. It's very moving and you can really feel the tragedy that the orca has endured.

If there's anything that the film gets right - it's the music and the cinematography. I first saw Orca when I was 6 years old and today the music still gets to me. The main theme is so hauntingly beautiful.

I saw Orca in the theaters back in 1977 and THE two things that impressed me were the cinematography and the beautiful score. They both helped to create the tone of the film which is tragedy for the whale and the people.
