BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Forest G If you are one of those rare people that has huge empathy for animal, don't watch this film This documentary will make you cry. There are graphic violence scene in the end of the documentary. It is really bloody scene.This documentary is about the investigation in Taiji, Japan. The town where people hunt Dolphins to be sold for Sea World, and some of them will be slaughter for food They want to record what those people do in that cove. In the end they got the evidence.This documentary is impactful and well documented. I do hope in the end we can stop hunting dolphins, at least stop slaughtering them for their meat.

Anthony McCormick (apmje) The Cove is a world-class documentary that is worthy of its Oscar and any praise that it receives. Taking a look at the slaughter of dolphins in a small town in Japan, this documentary is informative, suspenseful and thought-provoking.Directed by Louie Psihoyos and having an a large of array of specialists, this film doesn't bore you like a number of documentary's I've seen but engages the viewer while educating. It doesn't simply point the finger, it tells you why their pointing, who their pointing it at and what their going to do about it. Taking an undeniably one-sided view, it relentlessly pounds into the cause into the viewer and really hits him. Even if the films point-of-view rarely deters from the activist, Western side it is an emotional view to look from and one which personally filled me with a mixture of emotions.I particularly liked (if liked is this right word) the last 15 minutes. This is by far some of the most brutal and harrowing footage I have ever witnessed and found that it dug deep. My girlfriend was unable to contain her emotions and cried which only made the finale of this film that much harder to bare. While I don't think this film is for the close-minded, I believe everyone should see this film regardless of your view point on animal welfare. Personally, I stand as close to the activists and people who do this with great passion as I can without becoming actively involved. Besides looking at the cruelty that takes place in Taijin, Japan it also looks how it effects Japan as a whole and the Western world, touching slightly on the global impact which not only dolphin slaughter will cause but whales and other sea-life also. I thought this film was profoundly touching and emotionally driven by a group of individuals who really care for dolphins particularly Ric O'Barry who during the 1960s used to capture dolphins and train them and who has been trying to make amends since.A passionate film and worthy of all the praise it gets. Well done.Originally written: 7/24/10

Austin Rizer This documentary was extremely powerful. Although they may have broken Japanese laws, the people behind this film will continue to create changes in global fishing policy. It amazes me how many people have been affected by the corruption of Japanese fishing activity, and the fact that so many dolphins are murdered each year for almost no reason is disgusting and astonishing. Not only is dolphin meat not nutritional nor tasteful in Japanese culture, but the chemical problems associated with it are extremely impactful as well. All in all, this film was very well done and stands for a good message. I have massive respect for the people behind this movement and I hope they continue to enact change in the future.

Daniela Hall "The Cove" is much more than just a record of that adventure. Like the director's cover story, the movie is a Trojan horse: an exceptionally well-made documentary that unfolds like a spy thriller, complete with bugged hotel rooms, clandestine derring-do and mysterious men in gray flannel suits. Most can agree that even though the information provided in this 2009 documentary film can be rather one-sided, but come on now, look at those adorable squeaking dolphins. In a much more serious tone, the thriller feel the documentary presents itself with easily catches the attention of a high school classroom, no doubt at all. Over all, I recommend this film for it's diverse way of illustrating a occurring social problem and the educational purpose; easily memberable and leaves a major impact of society's awareness to the dolphin slaughter.
