Dolphins are said to be good friends of human beings, but in some ways we are peeping and affecting their quiet life. For example, the commercial interests created by dolphins in the aquarium are all over the world, including Hong Kong, have you ever thought about how dolphins are purchased? From the small town of Wakayama, Japan), some dolphins are sold to different places for training and performance, and others that are not selected become "pork meat" (not pork, but live dolphin meat). Experienced mercury poisoning, and dolphin meat has also been confirmed to have a strong mercury element, but it is sold in some markets in Japan. This substance affects the health of most people, ranging from memory loss to paralysis. The film crew in the documentary also went through many years of filming, interviewing people from different classes, such as academic authorities, Japanese government officials, to investigate this little-known event. Undoubtedly, this is a very powerful film. With the photographer's point of view and angle, he recorded his concern for the whole thing with the camera, which brought a lot of reflection to the audience. As a small audience, we have seen the facts from the movie, don't think that we can't do anything in the other side, and our responsibility is also very heavy. The first is to start from childhood, to promote information, in this Internet age, in Facebook, Twitter to tell everyone that there is such a thing happening, and the second is that we do not eat, do not use the things made by these animals. The third is to bless them.
Seeing this lively documentary, the feeling in my heart is a bit depressing, especially when I see the clear sea water suddenly turned into a "sea of blood", and the dolphin is stabbed to death, it is terrifying, and it is also a bloody person. Man, how can you be happy to see these scenes. It's a sadness to see dolphins get stabbed and we can't do anything for them. In terms of numbers, 23,000 dolphins are killed there every year, but there are very few insiders in Japan and abroad. When these things are happening, international NGOs such as Greenpeace and WWF are there? The activists concerned about the dolphin scheme are killed one by one, is it a political conspiracy or intentional. The Japanese authorities, especially the media's blockade of the facts, said that they wanted to protect the livelihood of the people in the Taiji area, but the incident showed that not only the people in the Taiji area, but also the health of the people in other areas and Japan as a whole. If the incident breaks out, it will cause damage to Japan's national image, and it will also arouse the concern of the people. While not everyone knows what happened, it's definitely a big reminder. In addition, I think Japan's militarism is at work, and in a way, Japan is a self-respecting, Shinto country. In the Nanjing Massacre, the Hundred People Beheading incident, to a certain extent, is the same as the fate of the dolphins. The difference is the difference in form, but they are equally terrifying.
In the movie, what I appreciate more is that the film crew is fully prepared, and despite being obstructed by hunters and fishermen, they can still capture some truths that cannot be seen by the outside world. Even if you are in danger, you cannot successfully break into the restricted area once, decide to ignore the danger, ignore the danger or be detained by the Japanese side, and selflessly bring out the facts. What people see is not only the success of the film, but also the more far-reaching influence. This is very important.
In Hong Kong/China, we should also pay more attention to awakening this kind of consciousness, and extend the dolphins in the movie to other animals. Animals also have the right to live, not just whether they are "cute" or not, but all of us All creatures on earth. Do you have the heart to see that our future is destroyed by our hands? Ecology has been destroyed due to selfish behavior, which should be understood and valued by people all over the world. From this moment on, we might as well try to "change the world. Start with the little one", and finally quote Greenpeace's slogan "action. bring about change". Let's act together.
