The Cove



It was a shocked that not many people know that there are something like this exists in the modern world especially in the world high-tech country like Japan. It was clearly not the way people fish, it is animal cruelty and it does need people attention.

The men and woman in this film are really outstanding and inspiring that most of them are professional in their own field like diving, filming and it is interesting to note that they choose to take the risk to help other species and fight against their own who do not believe in animal right.

They used many high-tech equipment such as thermal vision, hidden camera and many other to make this documentary possible and bring it to this world. It is really important to understand that this is the war between two group of people who have different perspective about dolphin.

It is really terrible to see those poor innocent animal are being slaughtered by human and they cannot do anything against it. 23,000 dolphin are being killed every year and people said that they hardly see any product on the market that made from dolphin. Human abused them as an alternative to whale and other sea mammal and use them as the source of entertainment which is in another word, multi-million dollars business. The most interesting part is the fisher man said it is apart of their culture but not many of their people know about it as well as they do it in a really confidential way.

Dolphin is an acoustic mammal creature and what struck me the most was the noise that they make when the fisherman start to kill them one by one until the ocean turn red by their blood and there was no more noise. 

This is the most interesting film of EcoMedia class so far since the author understand how to create emotion and send the message to the audience by their personal experience. It is really powerful and it does make me want to contribute and fight against this cause in order to save this creature.
