l2p Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Was just sent this link by a friend of mine, watched the film and now am ready to throw up. Thoughts? http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/cove/ *Note it only lets you watch 72 mins of video for free so I youtubed the last 30 min or so...
BillM Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 If dolphins weren't so cute and cuddly, no one would care. Same thing with the seal hunt.
frozen-fire Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Great documentary. Opens your eyes to what goes on I guess... You should watch Sharkwater too.
l2p Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 its not the dolphins tho. its the whole idea of it, the fact their government know they poach and cover it up.
l2p Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 and yes dolphins are sumtimes cute lol. maybe i shud rephrase the title, its a little misleading.
adempsey Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Interesting enough. People are such hypocrites though. I think the documentary "Food, Inc." is more relevant. Although, I am always skeptical about these types of sensationalized journalism. Still, it's good to be informed and be able to come to your own conclusions after some follow up research.

As interesting (and at times informative) as these documentaries are, people need to realize that they are far from being the be-all-end-all of information on the topic, and that ultimately they're trying to convey their own point of view upon the viewers. My off-topic 2 cents
cram Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Its a really good (and disturbing) documentary. Call me a tree hugger, but i find slaughtering/eating whales/dolphins/primates particularly disturbing.
Governator Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 There's a great one on shark finning as well (SHARKWATER). It was extremely disturbing seeing these idiots cut off fins and throw them back. The guy behind it was a pretty cool guy and really had a love for sharks. He was arrested during the filming of it for attempted murder when trying to get vessels to leave the waters. Definitely a must see if you're in to those.
Dutchy Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 It is disturbing but having spent some time at slaughterhouses, its not like they are really that much better. Wherever animals of any kind are being slaughtered, its never pretty. And there are always ethical issues. I have seen pigs, which are supposed to be electro-stunned, just have their throats cut to "save" time. I guess all I am saying is nothing really surprises me....I am not saying I agree or disagree with it. Hows that for vague
The Urban Fisherman Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Funny story - the last movie I worked on while at Technicolor in Toronto was Sharkwater. I was an assistant editor at the time and we were doing a final polish on the film before the TO film festival. While Rob Stewart (Director / Creator) of the film was in our office we had some technical issues with the computer. So our Video Engineer Klaus walks in and see's a shark on the monitor... I kid you not his first words right in front of Rod were "hey - Have you ever tried Shark Fin Soup? It's Great!" lol :thumbsup_anim: Anyways, enjoyed both films, and I agree, take what you see in the films then do some research of your own. They're trying to put across a good message, but are also sensationalizing it and bending the edit to get their point of view across. Cheers, Ryan
irishfield Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I wish that the only problem we had this week was how we got our sushi !
