The Cove

This is a must-watch documentary which awakes the human's devil deep inside the bottom of the heart. It talks about a crew of people with selective talents working together to reveal the truth of mass slaughter of dolphin in Taiji,Japan which hides behind from the world.

These people do not make the film without risks. They may be charged,jailed,detained or even killed. Threatened by the local polices, fishermen, and all the dolphin and whales killers, the crews behind the film do this with only one reason, they want to save the world most intelligent creature, the dolphin. With the comprehensive planning, witty tactic and the sophisticated equipment, they start their action in order to make the world know the brutality which happens on the dolphin.

This documentary also reveals the story behind the meeting of International Whaling Commission. Cracking the loopholes of Japan whaling policy and the intricate relationship between Japan and some 3rd world countries on the matters of voting in the meeting. All the government tries to do is to continue the slaughter to receive the highest income.

The issue of high level of mercury in dolphin meat is also being brought out to create awareness among people. Destroyed ocean ecosystem is also mentioned in the film and the main culprit is overfishing. Thus, human is the source of culprit.

One saying hits me in the film by the director of "The Cove", Louie Psihoyos. He mentioned that there is very less people can take over the mission of saving cetacean as this is not an easy job. I think it will be more difficult especially in this era as many of the youth today doesn't has much awareness about what happening in the world. It is unimaginable to think the later world. And I realise that I'm also not very talented and so I must be keep on learning as I want to contribute something great to the world.

This is an Oscar-winning film. It records the whole saving-dolphin process, explaining about dolphin and unveil the human's wolfish cruelty on animals. It brings great impacts from various parties and it does bring some improvement in saving the dolphin in Taiji.

I'm disheartened by seeing the sufferings. Somehow, dolphin is not the only animal who suffers on the tips of knife in the human's hand and actually many of the species end up in the world's biggest grave, stomach.

I' m proud of being a vegetarian as I'm totally not tantalized by the so-called scrumptious tasty meat to harm the animals and also our environment.

Lastly, hats off to all the heroes behind this documentary "The Cove".
