I don't want to retell the plot of the film too much, and I want to discuss a few issues expressed in the film and the problems that the film extends. First of all, there are a few questions expressed in the film. It is just my personal understanding. Because my level is not high, my understanding may be superficial, so I may not be able to understand this documentary. Please give more advice from the judges.
1. The mass killing of mammal dolphins is a cruel thing.
Dolphins are high-level mammals. They live in the sea and rely on various small fish in the sea for food. They are at the top of the biological chain in the ocean. According to this logic, in fact, large-scale killing of wild animals is very cruel, not necessarily high-level mammals or other low-level animals, all belong to the behavior of destroying the natural biological chain. In this way, human civilization has been progressing in terms of human beings, but it may be regressing in terms of nature. Because modern society has modern high-tech equipment to deal with animals, while ancient human beings deal with animals with bows, stones and knives. The scale of hunting and killing of animals by modern people is much larger than that in ancient times, which can easily cause a fault in the biological chain. Greedy human beings dig out the delicious animals for a feast, and then come up with various ways to "cook" them. This is the so-called eating game. Some people say that if there is a certain degree, as long as the wild animals are hunted and killed according to the same measurement, the damage to the food chain will not be so serious. You know, once an industry that can generate utilization is formed and a market is formed, can everything be controlled? As for the so-called "degree", it is impossible to calculate.
2. No matter how high human intelligence and high technology level are, not all animals can be kept in captivity.
The protagonist in the film tells us that dolphins are not suitable for captivity, cannot be domesticated, and cannot be controlled. Once the dolphin is kept in captivity, it will have an inexplicable sense of tension, which will cause many digestive diseases. In fact, many animals except dolphins are like this, such as tigers, giant pandas and so on. Animal experts know more about this than I do, so I don't want to give more examples. Of course, during the development of human civilization, there are also many benefits brought by the domestication of animals, such as poultry and livestock. So much so that the Chinese have the good wish of "the prosperity of the six animals" in the New Year. Human beings always selfishly believe that establishing a so-called wild animal breeding base is a rescue-type protection for wild animals, which can help them reproduce and then put them back into the wild. It is known that there are not many wild Siberian tigers, the wild South China tigers are known to be extinct, and the number of wild giant pandas is not much. Why are there less and less wild ones? Because many wild animals are already impure, many may no longer be wild, and their body functions are gradually degrading. In my opinion, instead of spending huge sums of money to build wild animal breeding bases, it is better to spend money to protect the homes of wild animals and improve the environment in which they live. No creature in the natural world has its own right to survive, don't disturb them.
By extension, the questions that come to mind are:
1. Americans can spend money and take risks to make such a documentary, which reflects the barbaric behavior of the Japanese in killing cetaceans, why not make a film that reflects the war in the Middle East, Jews and Palestine Videos of local residents clashing.
Could it be that human beings are savage in killing animals and killing their own kind is civilization? In the process of exporting democracy, it is inevitable to use coercive measures. In the process of resource plundering, in addition to the gentleman's trade means, it is inevitable to use weapons to solve it. This is the case in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran. The carrot-and-stick policy is not unreasonable for American people. Because they are "terrorism"! ? In this way, this film does have a lot of show elements. Especially when the blood of the dolphins stained the bays of the earth, the screams of the dolphins when they were slaughtered had the effect of blurring the eyes of Americans and people around the world with tears.
Second, the behavior of destroying the environment is done every day for human beings.
The United States is the world's largest oil consumer and the world's largest carbon dioxide emitter. The United States has the world's largest car ownership, and they have a lot to do with rising global temperatures. These seem unimportant to them, but they are concerned about the food safety of another country (dolphin meat contains a lot of mercury), and the ecological balance of the world's oceans. I look at it this way, and some people will say that my view is biased. I think so, the survival of human beings has become a problem. To pay attention to animals is more or less avoiding the important, and giving up the near is far away.
In general, an American documentary, just like a Hollywood blockbuster, continues the old American strategy of exporting culture and values. It's hard to say that its stance is purely for environmental protection.
There are too many words to criticize others, so I have to criticize myself. Chairman Mao said that criticism should be combined with self-criticism. Well, I'll be here today, and if I'm free tomorrow, I'll comment on what's going on in our country this year. 2010.04.01
