The ocean. The humans.

I watched it as if it was an abridged version, and I didn't see the picture of cutting the shark's fin... It's not good to think about this kind of thing.

But ah, the ocean is really beautiful...
When I was in junior high school, I had a phobia of the deep sea. When I saw the unfathomable sea water, I would make up my mind that there were deep-sea giants hundreds of meters long lurking below... So Before watching the film, I thought I would feel uncomfortable. I didn't expect that the deep sea was likened to space at the beginning of the documentary. The plankton floating in the middle were like galaxies, emitting faint light... This metaphor is true It's so beautiful.

The most important part of the documentary is also the introduction of marine creatures. There are several creatures that are really impressive:
1. spanish danser (It turns out that there are such beautiful sea cucumbers in the world, it really looks like the skirt horns raised by Spanish dancers.)
2.stonefish (so cool and patient! But it looks really ugly)
3.humpback (such a big whale actually eats krill as the main food, this is not the same as drinking water/fruit orange hahahahahahahaha; The cruising feels so hard; the bubble net feeding method is really cool)
4. Schools of tuna and tuna (such a group feels like tens of thousands of them, which is spectacular; and seriously, these two kinds of fish are really It looks delicious....)
5. sailfish (so handsome! Chinese name seems to be called swordfish? No English name is handsome)
6. lionfish (really amazing...I The first reaction I saw when I saw it was like a lion. It's obviously different in color.)
7. Turtle (it's really bad to be hatched in the daytime)
8. Dugong! ! ! ! (I have heard before that it may be the legendary mermaid... This is too ugly! There is always a wonderful sense of disobedience to see it gnawing grass in the seabed pasture... lying on the seabed... Eating grass??exm? And the scene where I floated to breathe, I was dying of laughter...so stupid and cute)


In addition to finding it funny and interesting, the biggest feeling this film gave me was that it was shocking and moving and powerless.
Naturally, there are also topics such as protecting the earth that cannot be escaped, which is protecting human beings...
At that time, after talking about the bubble net hunting method of bumpback, I took a long shot and took over the sentence, "But the human net is not so easy to break through."
It's really.... a net so big that I don't know how to describe it.... From the horizontal, it fell to the bottom of the sea... A huge school of tuna was trapped in it, and the turtle was powerless to hit it with its head The indestructible net, the overlord in the sea can not be spared, after catching it, the seafood that is needed will not be spared, and the unnecessary seafood will be thrown back or killed at will. I have seen in the textbooks how many times overfishing or sea line encirclement and suppression, but only this time I have really seen such a picture and have such a touch... I feel... fear and... nausea.

I don't know why when I see human beings and human artifacts in such a blue picture as the sea, I always feel very inconsistent and terrible. I even think that the shark at the end of the film suddenly eats the diver is justifiable and convincing... Writing this, I can't help but think of the helpless look in the seal's eyes as he looked around the trolley. The eyes of the seals looking at the camera vigilantly when they entered the water...

but I have to admit that humans are really powerful..."The ocean fights on." The ocean hit back the attacking humans with storms and huge waves, but In such a huge wave of more than ten meters high, the human cruise ship entered a lot of water, and it still did not sink to the bottom of the sea. Really....it's amazing...

human beings may be the most contradictory invention of the creator. They are so clever, they have invented all kinds of tools and instruments, and they have established a system of political, economic, cultural and scientific science. They have become the gods of all things, conquered all continents, and are not satisfied with the vast ocean - their goal It is the sea of ​​stars.
But ah, as the film mentions, they are too ambitious and too indifferent... When a shark eats a tuna or a seagull eats a baby turtle, they know that one thousandth of the species can survive, but humans, regardless of Whether it is encirclement and suppression, sea line or sewage discharge, there is no bottom line to kill them all.
...If you don't have a sense of reverence for life, one day, it will be destroyed by your own hands.
