That water is red, bright red, bright red

After reading it, I was stunned. I prepared a napkin but none of it was used. For a whole minute, my mind was almost blank
. When we were playing, we started to discuss for some reason. I heard that dolphins are smarter than humans. Will they set up schools in the sea? Will they also dislike going to school like us? How do they skip classes? Of course, the most curious thing is how they view human beings. I remember chatting a lot at the time, and I felt that I had a lot of ideas and would consider such "advanced" issues, but we were so pure in thinking back then. I can't even imagine how dirty and ugly reality can be.
Then I gradually regained my consciousness and glanced at the comments of netizens. I was very surprised that I actually saw a lot of remarks scolding the Japanese. Do you really think this kind of thing is rare in China, do you really Do you think the Chinese cannot do anything more cruel than this?
How many people became a little unnatural like me when they saw the phrase "the goverment knows it the goverment covers it up"? When seeing poisonous dolphin meat being forced into students' lunches, how many people thought of the "Timamine Gate" like me? When seeing the phrase "when and where did you take this", how many people like me flashed the face of a high-ranking official who shouted "Which unit are you from?" ...
there are too many, one of the reasons why I came up with such a topic that has nothing to do with the content of the article is that the bright red color makes people easily think of China...
This is not a movie that reflects how ugly the Japanese are. The documentary is not a tool for the United States to provoke Japan, it is about how ugly we humans are.
Because we don't eat dolphins, we sympathize with dolphins and denounce eating dolphins, but imagine if this documentary was filmed on a pig slaughter farm, how many people would stop eating pork after watching it? Those are also It's all life. When it's none of our business, everyone can put on a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude...
The Japanese government told the people that dolphins eat a lot of fish, and killing dolphins is to eliminate pests, so the fishermen went, so we in front of the screen lamented their ignorance, however, XX said that Japan offended us, and we boycotted Japanese products enthusiastically. XX also said that France had offended us, and we boycotted Carrefour with righteous indignation. XX said that Iran had hacked Baidu, so we went to hack people with the benefits... What is this?
I was particularly impressed by the two sentences in the film. The first sentence is "to me you are either an activist or an inactivist". We are always saying that things are often not just right or wrong. It is absolutely impossible for people to distinguish between good and bad. Some things, even most things, really only have the distinction of doing or not doing. To do or not to do, you can only choose one, you must choose and there is no choice.
Another sentence, as the end of the article,
we have the obligation, we have the moral authority to do something about it and let it don't be said that you didin't know about it you know about it! !

    The bloody reality, the killing scenes are shocking and terrifying, and the dolphin's smile is nature's best disguise.

    A trial in absentia. The film is of the same nature as my political class, just documenting what their "side" wants people to see and accept. They couldn't answer the Japanese question of "what is the difference between whales and other animals", so they had to prove that dolphins are poisonous and slaughtered in inhumane ways to protect whales. From a "brainwashing" perspective, it couldn't have been better. Some scenes are similar to "Mother's Hoof Flowers", and Berry is similar to Ai Weiwei.

The Cove quotes

  • Richard O'Barry: The thing that turned me around was the death of Flipper, of Cathy. She was really depressed. I could feel it. I could see it. And she committed suicide in my arms. That's a very strong word, suicide. But you have to understand dolphins and other whales are not automatic air breathers, like we are. Every breath they take is a conscious effort. And so they can end their life whenever life becomes too unbearable by not taking the next breath. And it's in that context I use the word suicide. She did that. She swam into my arms, looked me right in the eye, and took a breath... and didn't take another one.

  • Mandy-Rae Cruikshank: When you're out swimming in the ocean and you have whales and dolphins come by you, it is one of the most incredible experiences ever. It's so humbling that this wild creature would come up and be so interested in you. It's... It's unbelievable, really.
