The Cove 2009 123movies

Watch: The Cove 2009 123movies, Full Movie Online – Richard O’Barry was the man who captured and trained the dolphins for the television show Flipper (1964). O’Barry’s view of cetaceans in captivity changed from that experience when as the last straw he saw that one of the dolphins playing Flipper – her name being Kathy – basically committed suicide in his arms because of the stress of being in captivity. Since that time, he has become one of the leading advocates against cetaceans in captivity and for the preservation of cetaceans in the wild. O’Barry and filmmaker ‘Louie Psihoyos (I)’ go about trying to expose one of what they see as the most cruel acts against wild dolphins in the world in Taiji, Japan, where dolphins are routinely corralled, either to be sold alive to aquariums and marine parks, or slaughtered for meat. The primary secluded cove where this activity is taking place is heavily guarded. O’Barry and Psihoyos are well known as enemies by the authorities in Taiji, the authorities who will use whatever tactic to expel the two from Japan forever. O’Barry, Psihoyos and their team covertly try to film as a document of conclusive evidence this cruel behavior. They employ among others Hollywood cameramen and deep sea free divers. They also highlight what is considered the dangerous consumption of dolphin meat (due to its high concentration of mercury) which is often sold not as dolphin meat, and the Japanese government’s methodical buying off of poorer third world nations for their support of Japan’s whaling industry, that support most specifically at the International Whaling Commission..
Plot: The Cove tells the amazing true story of how an elite team of individuals, films makers and free divers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate the hidden cove in Japan, shining light on a dark and deadly secret. The shocking discoveries were only the tip of the iceberg.

Powerful, disturbing and will make you want to take action
Words can hardly describe how powerful this documentary is, and the lengths to which human cruelty can extend to. Louie Psihoyos and his team infiltrate a secret cove near Taiji, Japan and expose a brutal instance of animal cruelty. This film opens your eyes to the truly devastating fates of thousands of dolphins, who are slaughtered without remorse.Being an animal lover, and my dream to become a zoologist, this film has really inspired me to be active and do whatever necessary to protect the beauty of our planet. Alongside Ric O Barry, Psihoyos is able to clearly point out the error of these marvelous creatures in captivity, and how they deserve to be free, just like any other creature.

If you are one of those people that see my ways, then you’ll be affected deeply too to take action. Forget the damn critics, this isn’t a Hollywood blockbuster, this is a way of life for us and what we’ve become…what we’ve turned into.

Support the cause to stop this.

A film to watch and then get involved
We called him Flipper, but Richard O’Barry called the five dolphins – that he personally trained for the popular 1960’s television series – by their real names. What the television series also created, with the help and support of O’Barry, was the multi-million pound earning sea park industries. However, after an encounter with one of the dolphins who died in O’Barry’s arms (what he calls here suicide due to depression), he became an activist against the treatment of the mammals within this industry. O’Barry’s interviews in this film highlights his passion for these majestic animals, that have proved self-awareness and high intelligence. So why, in a secretive Japanese industry, are the slaughter of these animals able to continue with seeming support from both the Japanese government and the IWC (International Whaling Commission)?

In an incredibly beautiful cove in the small fishing village of Taiji, Japan, thousands of dolphins are forced by the fishermen into the cove where they are killed for their meat (which incidentally have high levels of mercury within them, caused by industry dumping of course). The cove is highly guarded and activists are readily arrested for trying to see what exactly happens within the walls of the labyrinthine cove. However, with the help of a moulder from Industrial Light and Magic, a series of high-tec recording equipment (including HD cameras within mock rocks), the team begin a highly dangerous mission to film and record the sound of the dolphin slaughter.

In scenes laced with very real drama – in One Night in Paris filming mode (ahem, sorry, night vision) – we follow the divers and rest of the team as they risk their lives to set up the secret filming equipment. The sense of danger absolutely permeates the film, as ours and the teams hearts race. And the footage that they get is utterly astounding, sickening and horrific, as the sea water rapidly turns a deep red colour.

I’m not going to embellish this review with too much of the information from this film, as I feel the film needs to be viewed by everyone, and therefore will speak for itself. I will however highlight the fact that our species (humans) have to be the most despicable species alive, as the search for profit in a world dominated by greed, always leads to the suffering of other species. This needs to stop. So, please all watch this film, then go to http://www.takepart.com/cove and get involved as much as you are able.
