Blackfish

2013 film.

The movie Blackfish, 2013, is a documentary. The tragedy is the overriding theme of the film, which is symbolized by having great persons under destruction. The main characters of this documentary are Tilikum, the whale killer, and three SeaWorld trainers named John Jett, Dawn Brancheau, and Jeffrey Ventre who lose their lives to Tilikum.

The documentary concerns the captivity of Tilikum who was involved in the death of three Sea World trainers. Tilikum’s capture in the year 1983 is covered in the documentary. Tilikum was a source of social entertainment at SeaWorld amusement park. Footage attacks of the whale trainers are included in the documentary. A testimonial by a Science director, Marino states that there was a possibility that Tilikum’s aggressiveness was triggered by the harassment he got from his fellow captive orcas. Tilikum died as a result of a bacterial infection.

The most exciting part of the movie was characterized by the unique style of swimming of the whale. The whale swam forward flexing its tail up and down, and when changing the direction, it looked exactly like an aeroplane. The fact that a narrator who has done the study of family pod units and how orcas should never be an extravaganza made me smile. The narrators are in support of freeing of the whales in captivity. However, I did not like the veterinarian in the documentary who says the whales are fine in captivity. I believe the whales are stressed for they sometimes have to be separated from their calves and It’s inhumane. The footages of the notorious killer whale in action are sad to watch, and I find them cold-blooded. It scared me watching Tilikum grab Dawns’ pony and pulling her under the waters.

I have learned that animals deserve to be in the world, but should not be in captivity for human entertainment or a source of income. I feel sorry that the Orcas have to live in the tab. The footage of Tilikum and Dawn has made me want the captivity of these magnificent creatures to stop. The cruelty of having Tilikum into captivity reminds me of the days I worked at the factory farms. There was no freedom, and we were denied a lot of things. I always hoped that dignity violations could be minimized.

The documentary was slow and extremely simple to understand. I rate the movie as excellent, and I would gladly recommend other people to watch. Those who will follow the documentary may develop more respect and love for orcas.
