In An Expression Of The Inexpressible
2Apr12
What a horrible documentary! Mission Impossible meets Michael Moore. It was not about this important issue, it was about the heroes and the action. So selfcentered, sometimes even very idiotic! And there was not a single moment of art (if we forget about the horrible subject and focus on a movie as an art form). But still, the topic is very important and any such effort is worth an applause!

Fuck you, Taiji. Hard. There's a line assholes, and you crossed it. And FYI, slaughtering 2,000+ dolphins a year so you can serve mercury poisoning to school children is it. I know because when I was twelve I did it once and my mom was all like "Wait till your dad gets home, shit head" and holy shit when he did get home, I got what was coming to me. But that's ok, because I crossed the line and deserved it.

Devastating. Fantastic documentary about an important and deeply upsetting cause, but far from pleasant viewing.

'THE COVE', with it's cloak and dagger style pacing, builds up to a startling reveal as viewers follow Richard O'Barry as he tries to expose the horrors of cruelty towards dolphins, from a cove in Taiji, Japan. It plays out brilliantly, but I didn't appreciate that the film generalises the subject around the culture of an entire country, rather than focus it's exposure directly at the parties involved.

I guess saying quote from South Park's 'Fuck you Whale! Fuck you Dolphin!' is not that funny anymore...

I agree with Jazzaloha. For entertainment value, it's a great flick. Educational? Not really.

I had almost no interest in seeing this, but it was surprisingly engaging. However, the film is more entertaining than a thorough or fair treatment of the issue.

Everyone should see this and spread the word. Dolphins slaughter... Revolting and barbarian.

A propaganda film, to be certain, but also an incredibly sharply-crafted documentary. Solidly-paced and continually engrossing, it masters some surprising moments of suspense, poignancy, and outrage. As long as you can look past its political agenda, some great documentary filmmaking.

As a movie and documentary, it's great. It does everything a standard documentary does, which is to give you a subjective view of the issue at hand through the tainted eyes of the filmmaker. What it doesn't do is let you think for yourself.

The Cove is the most courageous documentary made in decades. It is a must see.

Not exactly groundbreaking in cinematic terms, and it is agitprop filmmaking. Yet, it needed to be made to show what rich and powerful governments like that of Japan can get away with.
