After watching "Dolphin Bay", I can't be calm for a long time. I originally watched it because I liked dolphins. I thought most of the content was about the living conditions of dolphins in the sea. I didn't expect it to be much unexpected.
There is such a bay in Taichi, Japan, where a big lie is happening that blinds the eyes of the world. When thousands of dolphins are driven to shallow waters, trainers select the ones they are happy with, and the eliminated dolphins are all murdered. Throughout the entire film, the question in my head is why! Why did the Japanese want to kill them all! Dolphin meat contains 20 times more mercury than the norm. Japan had already experienced such a disaster in the 1980s, so why would dolphin meat be distributed to local schools as a free lunch? In my impression, aren't the Japanese people who attach the most importance to education and the flowers of their motherland? Why are they doing this?
It's a 100 percent documentary, but my mood ebbs and flows like watching a feature film. The two secret operations of the volunteers made me feel even more heartbroken. Photography is prohibited near the bay. Several hideous faces appeared in front of the camera or took pictures or stopped the volunteers, which made us feel more mysterious and eerie about the real conditions of the bay. The smart volunteers all have their own unique skills to play their part in secret operations, and they are full of praise for their creative thinking and strong hearts. . .
When I saw a dolphin crossing that net with its life, I couldn't calm down and tears welled up in my eyes. It is defending its freedom with its life. I only saw its body floating up and down in the water, and who knows the blood behind every floating surface. Finally, it never surfaced again. The female diver who witnessed everything cried, and I cried, but more fishermen next to it were used to this scene, and they showed no expressions on their faces.
The leader of the volunteers, a former animal trainer, said that dolphins are not like humans, they can decide whether to breathe or not. He used to pretend to be blind to all the ugly things. But when one of its baby pigeons committed suicide in his arms, yes, it decided to stop breathing, and he could no longer pretend to live peacefully.
Animals are all human, not to mention sensitive ones like dolphins and elephants. Humans are still unable to explain the reasons for many of their actions, but I prefer to believe that they are thinking. So they get angry and resist. I also believe that human beings will one day pay the heaviest price for what they have done.
The pictures captured by the hidden cameras placed by the volunteers at the risk of death are displayed in the most naked way in front of everyone: when the fishermen are seen stabbing the dolphins with bayonets one after another, when the dolphins are heard screaming. How can we calm down when we see the sea is dyed bright red? I saw the volunteers come to the WWF scene while playing the filmed short film and were taken away without any resistance. I saw the volunteers also came to the streets of Japan to show the short film, whose adrenaline is not soaring!
How much I want to join them, even the tiniest force is an attitude. The film did not answer my questions at the end, and at the same time I had more questions and thoughts. I originally thought that there must be a trend of interest to make them behave this way. But it was quickly denied. The film says that this may not have anything to do with the economy or even the government, it's just the Japanese model for a long time. If so, it is the most bizarre and bizarre.
With my knowledge and thinking, I can't figure it all out, I can only do my most meager obligations. I will never go to a dolphin show again, let alone eat them. I will volunteer when I have the chance.
It was from this film that I saw the most real evil and goodness of human beings.
