THE COVE – A Despicable Propaganda Movie
May 8, 2010
“THE COVE” (93min/America/2009), which won the 82nd Academy Award for best documentary, is scheduled to be released in Japan at the beginning of summer. Without waiting for its release, I’ve watched “THE COVE” (full-length) on a free video site.
To quickly describe this movie, “THE COVE” is NOT a documentary movie. It is obvious that “THE COVE” is anti-Japanese propaganda made on the pretext of promoting anti-whaling. “THE COVE” will probably ring the bell with the people who are eager to bash Japan or the Japanese people with various excuses (anti-whaling, animal protection, historical issues, economic friction, and so on). “THE COVE” looks at Japanese whaling from a one-sided point of view. “THE COVE” takes a self-righteous and intrusive attitude. This is so Anglo-Saxonish! (Anglo-Saxonish; Anglo-Saxon people so often tend to think that they are always right and on the side of justice. They don’t hesitate to impose their values on other people.)
