After watching Blackfish, I realize that instead of the movie focusing on facts about SeaWorld and captive whales. The movie gives the impression of false and emotionally manipulative scenes concerning the collection and separation of killer whales from the wild life. Also the movie relies questionable to film-making techniques to create the facts that only supports Gabriela Cowperthwaite point of views against SeaWorld. During the process of making the movie Seaworld ‘apparently’ was asked multiple times to have their input but they rejected it.
The movie BlackFish was emotionally manipulative and obviously bias from the interviewed staff and “biologists”. I found that their are negative testimonies about SeaWorld in particular to be less than credulous. After watching this film we responded differently emotionally to the scenes involving the capture and segregation of the animals and the “eyewitness” testimony from the Sealand of the Pacific incident rather than SeaWorld. The story is also largely told (about 95% just a guess) through the voices of five former SeaWorld trainers is problematic that means that there are really no facts but just emotions. There aren’t many specifics when it comes to just how long each of them worked there, at least none that we can not tell you, and the fact none of them seem to hold any personal responsibility for what takes place of what goes on around Seaworld, also is ‘kind of fishy’.
After reading another article of another trainer, her opinion towards trainers job and captive whales were different. She then beginnings to stress how she is “tired to see how people are manipulated by emotions” and she later on concluded by saying, “Yes there are risk but the risk are reasonable and manageable” we also believe that working with an animal is just a much of a risk as a policeman, racing, boxing and more but it is all about how the person approach the situation.
