Blackfish is absolutely heartbreaking, but a story that should be heard. You may not care about Killer Whales, or as in my case, know nothing about them, but Blackfish tells us that our amusement isn't worth the torture these animals endure. The documentary is short and concise. It doesn't choose sides so much as it shows how it takes human tragedy for us to recognise our own atrocities. What is do compelling us that the story is told by those who had a hand in it, either knowingly or not. The picture grabs you in the first few minutes and, like the tormented Tilikum, doesn't let go.
Most people I know do not care about knowing the truth or facts, they only care about being the one who passes along information. I wonder if I could privately ask people why they use social media (honestly), what their reason would be. I don't think people without a sense of humor, realize how much fun the world can be. Even during the hard times. So many of us spend time thinking of mistakes and regrets, but if we really think about it, we've probably dodged more bullets than missed boats. You know when you sit by yourself reading, sipping some coffee or tea and you don't think about anything, but what you're doing? That!
