Blackfish is fascinating documentary that
works as both animal-rights activism, and when-animals-attack voyeurism. By
primarily following the story of a one of the few killer whales to have
actually killed a human being, the film succeeds in making audiences think
about the ethics and morality of keeping any wild
animals in captivity and forcing them to entertain us. Told mainly from the
perspective of former Sea World trainers and marine biologists, some may
consider this documentary to be too one-sided. However, as the film unfolds it
becomes all too clear that in any movie of this kind the one perspective you
never gets to hear from is that of the animals concerned.
