Entertainment news:
I was honored to witness a remarkable movie tonight. A film that both touched and moved me in a way that was very meaningful. The film, by Magnolia Pictures, is called Blackfish. This is the real story about SeaWorld and their treatment of the whales they trap and capture in the wild. Blackfish is told by former Orca trainers including John Hargrove who worked at SeaWorld of California, SeaWorld of Texas, and Marineland in the south of France . The movie shows how SeaWorld parades these beautiful animals around to the public during the day as entertainment for massive profits and at night holds them in cruel captivity. It shows how the babies are ripped from the mothers and their pods from the open ocean. It shows, with great respect, the indignity these animals experience after being stolen from their homes, from their lives and families, and are forced to do tricks for treats and live in a tank of water that to them is the size of a bathtub. Imagine spending your whole life in a bathtub. It's obscene. Over the years there have been several senseless deaths of Orca trainers including Dawn Brancheau. This movie should be dedicated in her memory. If I had to describe this movie in a few words they would be EMOTIONAL, IMPORTANT, & ENLIGHTENING.
Blackfish is in some cites starting 7/19/2013 check your local listing for when this amazing film comes to your city..
