      If I can, I can do it.

      Dolphins in captivity pretend they are not happy with smiles, so why not let dolphins live? !
        
        After watching this film, I had a lot of feelings that I wanted to write down and express, but when I really faced it and wanted to say it, I really didn’t know where to start.
        This should be the most touching of all the movies I've seen. There is no clear picture, no gorgeous special effects, and no complete plot. It can be said that it is not a movie, its narrative is too real,...

      No profit leads to no extinction

      The film is extremely shocking, with the director recording scene after scene of cruelty and hypocrisy with his own lens.

             As the first line of the film begins, "I want to say, we did try to shoot this story through legal means." Legality has become the most convincing means to solve the problem at one time, and it has also become a pretext for the Japanese government to escape responsibility.

             Dolphins were originally human partners and friends, but in the 1950s...

      UNLESS YOU STOP IT

      It has been 4 years since the movie THE COVE was released. I believe that as long as people who have watched the documentary, it is not difficult to know from the film that Richard Berry started this event far more than 4 years ago, maybe 3 times or 5 times the 4 years.
      Compared with the bloody bay, I am more concerned about Richard. You are nearly 70 years old, are you still watching that bay with all your anger, including your own life, and you are still standing on the streets of...

      "Dolphin Bay" - can you give me a chance to survive

      I heard about this documentary a long time ago. Before I opened it, I thought it would present a beautiful picture. However, the truth is that the picture is so dazzling that I couldn’t be indifferent. I was born in a seaside city, a city surrounded by the sea on three sides, so my friendship with the sea is very deep, and my love for the sea cannot be explained in a few words. The scene that often appears in the movie: the cruise ship is passing by the sea, the dolphins are...

    Movie quotes

    • John Potter: It sometimes amazes me that the only language which has been extensively taught to dolphins is a version of American Sign Language, which, of course, you use your hands, so you have all these wonderful signals, and people use their hands to give messages to dolphins. And this somehow kind of misses the point because dolphins don't have hands, so this is inherently a very one-way process. And it's this anthropomorphic, "We have something to teach them or control them," and perhaps we ought to be looking at what they can give to us.

    • Hardy Jones: Every cetacean known to man is endangered just by going anywhere near Japan.

    • Richard O'Barry: A dolphin in the right spot can make a million dollars a year. There's a lot of money in it. If you get in their way - and I get in their way - it can be very, very dangerous.
