I watched the movie, THE COVE.
What I'm interested in now is
The amount of mercury in the dolphin meat
The migration roots of dolphin (around Japan)
The amount of consumption of dolphin meat
-
The hero in the movie is Mr. Richard O' Barry.
He oppose to the dolphin hunting and complained to people,
sometimes set them free into the ocean from the aquariums.
(And he arrested many times.)
It was good for me to know his biography and thoughts.
However, when I knew that Mr Louie Psihoyos, the director, had said "This is a love letter to the Japanese", I was very confused.
If there is love in this movie, it's for dolphin, I feel, and not for people in Japan.
I never feel his strong message and the way of filming are friendly to Japanese.
Having said that, I encourage Japanese people to receive his message, and write him back.
-
Dolphins are not the only creatures we slaughter whether we eat or not.
And I should always remember the reality, even for a brief moment.
