My first reaction after seeing the film was "meh". Well-made, well-acted, but "meh". It felt like it didn't need to exist, there was no new angle or insights. But then I heard the director say that the film is designed with newcomers in mind. If you've seen the documentaries and read the books, this film won't really do much for you (although you will appreciate the artistry). If you haven't really heard about the case before, _you're the intended audience_ . With that in mind, rewatching the film, I can see how expertly-crafted it actually is. To hit all of the main beats of what is a 20-year story (if you include the obvious allusions to Terry Hobbs being the real culprit, which only really started around 2007) and in such a short runtime is no mean feat. It is a great piece of work.
The capture video will haunt me until the day I die. It is most heart wrenching thing I have seen. I can't believe anyone could be so cruel. My heart breaks and I hear those calls in my sleep. Thank you John for all you do!!
I am a researcher working in the film and television industry of Toronto. Would you consider licensing excerpts from your coverage of this Q&A event from Hot Docs 2012 for use in a new documentary project?
I remember a Saturday Night Live skit where Kevin Kline played a "Flynn like" character with extreme flatulence while out to dinner with a woman. It was truly hilarious.
I know this video is older but i wanted to personally commend john and the producer of blackfish for thier efforts. #Dontbuyaticket #Seaworldisevil #seaworldsucks
Like many people I remember when Proposition 8 was passed. Since I'm not from California, I had no say in what the outcome. But I remember feeling *incensed* when California (of all states) would vote to ban same-sex marriage.
We are the worst fanbase, she's on pain, trying to give us the best of her, probably she's also exhausted of being Lady Gaga and we are so negative with her, sorry but i need to say it.
She can rot in prison for the rest of her life Pamela Dumb as I call her never takes any responsibility for her actions. The bitch had her husband murdered. Remember Gregg Smart and what happened to him. His family and friends have suffered for the rest of their lives
I actually did time with Mark in F.S.P in the early 90's dude has a knack for making cuff keys and manipulating the correction officers to bring him contraband.
Much of those recordings didn't come out so they weren't even played in court. Often the conversation is garbled. That said, she said some very incriminating things on those tapes. I personally believe she might be guilty but her sentence was just plain barbaric.
It comes down to this. Your money is your vote. If you use your money to support Sea world you vote yes to animals in captivity. If you don't use your money to support Sea world, you vote no to animals in captivity! Thank you John, you'll never know how much it means to me that you are brave enough to be the voice for these animals that you love ❤️ 🐳
really enjoyed this....the death penalty....seems warranted in a few cases,,,, this case, omg....conviction on no evidence, will they investigate where there's real evidence ??? hopefully once all the corrupt ones are gone !! i think its time !
lin reynolds Luckily there has been new evidence found but nobody other than the WM3 have been convicted for this crime. Maybe one day they will find out who committed this crime but who knows.
@@Vittnes She's been in prison longer than some torture-murderers. Example: Gertrude Baniszewski tortured Sylvia Likens to death. The girl was tied up and held in the cellar. Gertrude, with help from other teen kids, burned the victim with cigarettes, kicked her repeatedly in her genital area, forced her in scalding hot baths, starved her and forced her to drink urine and eat feces. Under Gertrude's urging, a teen boy burned the words: "I'm a prostitute and proud of it!" on the girl's stomach. (In fact, she was probably a virgin.) Finally, she died of an injury to her head. Gertrude was paroled after 20 years.
@@Vittnes She admits, "My bad choices loaded that gun." She knows that if she had not been foolish enough to have sex with a 16-year-old high school kid, Greg Smart would be alive today.
Doug, You are a treasure. Thank you for being in the world and sharing our story. By the way, can we get the video from our second ceremony -- of course, whenever you have time :-).
Good on you for speaking out, you and all the other ex-trainers who spoke out in "Blackfish" are so courageous. I sincerely hope that Seaworld will be forced by public pressure to release the animals that are able to be released into the wild and give the rest of the whales who cannot be released at least the quality of life they deserve in a large ocean pen!
OFFICIAL REPORTS SAY THEY COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE BOSTON ATTACK BUT DIDN'T IF YOU BELIEVE THE OFFICIAL REPORT THEY COULD HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT SPYING ON ANY CHATTER
