the cove

So I watched "the Cove" winner of best documentary this year at the oscars. This movie also one several awards from prestigious film festivals and other movie award thingies from all over the world except probably Japan. Well was this movie good, well I have mixed feelings about this movie. This documentary is very well shot which bothered me for some reason, I guess I am used to seeing documentaries shot with a very low budget feel. Also, this movie had a real reality TV feel to it, and in fact I think the people behind this movie are getting a TV reality series about the subject of dolphin slaughter. That being said there is no denying the power of the video they went to great lengths to capture. It was eerie and sad, and showed human beings at their worst. The end is not for the easily horrified, but is worth watching to see just how miserable the slaughter of anything can be. I hope this movie and those that care about ending whaling and dolphin slaughter, can end what is happening in taiji Japan, but in the year since this film has been released it looks like little has changed. By the way fuck Seaworld you killed Flipper.
