"Ocean"

So dad got this free tickets to watch at the Empire and he gave it to me and my sis. So sis and I went this afternoon only the two of us! Long winding road, I, sis, and music. LOUD music. It was awesome.

Well I think calling it a movie is not appropriate. Ocean is more like a documentary. It was a real eye opener. You could say it was a typical documentary. With the 'up and lower' it strategy. It showed the wonders of the vast ocean. Its amazing inhabitants, their culture, behavior. It's wondrous. How majestic and unique each creature is. The connections, relationships, between each of them. And not only between them, but with us too. The amazing symbiosis between whales and many other humongous sea creatures and a bluestreak cleaner wrasses or an anemone and a clown fish. But not only between creatures but between the same species too, like the graceful synchronization of sardines, intense same pulse of jelly fishes, or maybe the beautiful dance of dolphins.

After showing the wonderful mysteries of ocean, it shows humans destroying it. It was depressing. When i was seeing those whales, turtles, sharks, and stingrays and getting trapped in the net then the camera closes up on their eyes. Then it portrays a battlefield-like environment with all the blood and weapons between humans and those creatures. The cruelty of us humans. One more scene I could not forget was when they threw away a shark they caught back into the ocean after cutting all its fins. The shark sank into the bottom bleeding without anything to support and direct it to as its fin and tail was gone. It was just there, lying at the corals it landed to, struggling to move and bleeding its eyes like it was teary. That was just heartbreaking and depressing. :(

The ocean is vast and majestic. It holds many mysteries that we try to unfold. It tries to replenish and survives. But alas we take too much from it. Much more and faster than it can heal itself. We destroy it slowly and endanger its inhabitants not knowing we too endanger ourselves in the near future. There's no replacement sometimes with this things. Sometimes all we have is one shot. With these doings the only chance these creatures can survive is within the confinements of an aquarium or in a mere petri dish containing its DNA. How much more will we destroy till realization comes?

As I said the documentary was a real eye opener. Disney had done a good job. And I think it is appropriate for them to show it to my dad's company's employers. [It was only showed for them in the whole Brunei i think] They have a huge deep sea drilling on the blueprint so I think this was served as a warning and a caution. Hope the company's geologist and environmentalist knows their job well.
