Such a frustrating disappointment
Pretty Good
Excellent but underrated film
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
I watched this documentary yesterday at night. Honestly, the title is everything i want to say. Why in the hell, Americans and Australians who don't have culture in themselves think they have right to tell what the Japanese should and should not eat??Seriously people....America and Australia are the 2 top meat lover nations, we know it, you know it, it is the fact. You telling Japanese "well, dolphin are affectionate, they are intelligent too. They are beautiful, so killing dolphin is sin" I mean who the heck will listen you?? Hellooooo? You love burgers, sausages, bacon, ham, BBQ on Sunday?? Turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas? You have to have meat on every day and God knows exactly how many animals are killed yearly for those two countries....and yet you tell Japan "Hey, you guys are in bloody business! Stop it now!!"You are just arrogant....If you are saying "dolphin are intelligent, beautiful creatures, so they shouldn't be killed. Cows, pigs, chickens, and other domestic animals are not as intelligent as dolphin. So it is actually okay to farm them, medicate them with anti-biotics and growth hormones and other chemical.." wow you shock me badly. That's exactly what Nazis believed in. People, time to wake up and realize your arrogance attitude towards other culture. I give 2 stars, just because I kind of feel Ric actually loves dolphin even tho his behaviour in Japan is unacceptable. Sea Shepard? Oh hell no, they are bunch of losers, uneducated people with racist views. You all need to watch "Behind 'The Cove'" by director Keiko Yagi. Japanese spoke up finally against western arrogance. Wonderful work, Director Yagi!!
If you are one of those rare people that has huge empathy for animal, don't watch this film This documentary will make you cry. There are graphic violence scene in the end of the documentary. It is really bloody scene.This documentary is about the investigation in Taiji, Japan. The town where people hunt Dolphins to be sold for Sea World, and some of them will be slaughter for food They want to record what those people do in that cove. In the end they got the evidence.This documentary is impactful and well documented. I do hope in the end we can stop hunting dolphins, at least stop slaughtering them for their meat.
This documentary was one of the best I have ever seen. It was really detailed and specific about all the details even if they weren't very fun to hear. It was very graphic and sad but it really opened my mind to how much goes on in the world that we don't know about it. I really recommend this documentary. Although I would sensor who is aloud to watch this. If you have a sensitive stomach or heart it would not be good to watch. Because this is a very sad and bloody video. There are cruel people out there who need to be stopped. And this is what this video is doing. There should be more documentaries out there like this one. Most people now a days give the public facts they want to hear not ones they need to hear. Although some of these facts are hard to hear they need to be said so we can stop them.
Let's face it Americans are in no position to start preaching on animal welfare and the environment, after killing pretty much every living thing in their own region. You can already imagine this film without even watching it - the usual Michael Moore type of affair, starting with stacks of emotive footage about dolphins and their intelligence and so on and how these American activist world saviours are going to save them and how the Japanese are all supposedly poisoning themselves with mercury buy eating dolphin meat and so on and so on, whilst completely missing the cultural complexity surrounding the hunting of dolphins and its tradition.The film has few redeeming qualities. The bloodbath footage at the end is just shocking, emotive and leaves us with no answers. To tackle this problem is to understand clearly its cultural basis in places like Japan and the Faroe Islands and this film makes zero effort to do that.It's understanding of the situation is not unlike a bunch of Jewish people going to a pig farm in America to film pig slaughter.
