Sex & Nudity: An orca's penis is visible in a video showing its semen being extracted
Violence & Gore: Photos of wounds inflicted on Tilikum by other captive whales are shown. At one point, video depicts Tilikum bleeding in the water. As well as wounded female who then deies due to wounds caused by other whales.
Orcas are shown screaming while being restrained for an endoscopy. As well as screaming when young are taken off of them. Also dead orca's are seen from early in the film as they die during capture.
One person is attacked when an orca grabs her foot and wounds are seen in a video by a by-stander, also another trainer is grabbed and dragged under water and he then fights to get out and away from the whale we see his injuries after this, While no deaths are show or videos of the attacks that causes the death of trainers they are graphically described via autopsy and witness reports. For example, the film describes one of Tilikum's victims as having had his genitals eaten by the orca.
Profanity : none
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking : none
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The descriptions of orca attacks are disturbing, as is footage of orcas being captured.
Story: Notorious killer whale Tilikum is responsible for the deaths of three individuals, including a top killer whale trainer. Blackfish shows the sometimes devastating consequences of keeping such intelligent and sentient creatures in captivity.BLACKFISH tells the story of Tilikum, a notoriously aggressive orca that killed three people while in captivity. Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite uses shocking footage and emotional interviews to present a convincing case against keeping these wild animals for human entertainment.
Likes : One thing about this documentary film I like is the fact that Seaworld can no longer hide behind their bullshit excuses & lies now the truth has finally came out.
This is got to be the only documentary i've sat through that i've had tears in my eye all the way through because it is seriously emotional look behind the scene of what happened to Dawn Brancheau that day which a show took a tragic event that took her life & the behind the scenes look on how these beautiful spiritual creature are treated its upset me.
there is a point in this documentary I had to leave the room watching it because it upset me to a point I got up & punch the door as I walked out the room, I hate seeing animal like this being treat in such horrible condition over the sake of entertainment & money.
You can not just take an animal like a killer whale from the wild from its family & social group & put it with other killer whales that have come from different part of the world. Killer whale are Family social groups species, they gather together in groups that they have grown up with in the wild, this is why in the wild you see them in groups, you can not expect to put a killer whale with other groups expect these whale to get along.
Killer whale are not these aggressive killing machines, these a highly intelligent social creatures that need interaction with each other in there own groups they grow up with, you can tell that a killer whale is not happy in captive when the fin is curled over to the one in the wild.
This documentary is one of the most disturbing & upsetting documentary i've ever watched, but I recommend you watch this to see the truth behind the death of dawn Brancheau & the disturbing way that Tilikum was being treated to see it wasn't the killer whales fault for dawn's death but the failure to understand the nature of the whale in the first place over money & entertainment.
Dislikes :SORRY I AM HAVING TO VENT THIS BECAUSE I'M OUTRAGED & UPSET AFTER SEEING THIS DOCUMENTARY.
Seaworld MANAGEMENT you should be ashame of yourself, trainer DEATHS over the period of 20 years 3 deaths by the same killer whale because you don't know how to keep them or get to know their nature yet they still keep him in the show.
Even I can clearly see what was wrong with Tilikum watching the footage of him, you shouldn't of had him in the show, The death of Dawn Brancheau wasn't her fault or Tilikum's it was your fault sea world for not better understand the nature of the killer whale, her blood is on your hands ,you wash it away like it was nothing by blame her shame on you.
She was a expert trainer, you had Tilikum on his own all the time with no one to play with & no social interaction with its own kind, no goddamn wonder the whale was like the way it was no social interaction that physiologically scaring a social animal that is highly intelligent & lives for the same amount of years we do, seriously get your information right sea world.
I Am outraged & seriously upset that you carry on having this mammal in a show over money, lying to the press saying that it was dawn's fault she die, when clearly Tilikum is physiologically scared having been taken away from its mother in the wild & put with other species that it hasn't grow up with, it no damn wonder Tilikum is the way he is & is a danger to people, you should've let him go back to the wild. Sea world you disgust me!!!!!!! May Dawn Brancheau Rest in peace Knowing it wasn't your Fault or Tilikum.
Overall : Disturb, shocking & emotional documentary your ever see & the truth is revealed behind dawn death.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.9 out of 10 for the truth behind the scene of sea world
We will always know it wasn't you or Tilikum fault you died.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
