Top10ReasonsNottoEatTurkeys

1. They're Begging Your PardonTurkeysare smart animals with personality andcharacter, and keen awareness of their surroundings,Oregon State University poultry scientist Tom Savagesays. Turkeys are social, playful birds who enjoy thecompany of others. They relish having their feathersstroked and like to chirp, cluck, and gobble along to theirfavorite tunes. Anyone who spends time with them atfarm sanctuaries quickly learns that turkeys are as varied

in personality as dogs and cats. The president pardonsa turkey every yearcan't you pardon one too?

(violation of a rule, or maybe illegal?)

Expression in this movie

(too emotional?)

The way to film The Cove

Staffs entered to the restricted area

They hid cameras in the rocks and sneaked

20/23

By Mary Pols (TIME, August 10, 2009)

Psihoyos refers to the team he recruits, whichincludes a moldmaker from Industrial Light &Magic and a pair of champion deep-sea free

divers, as being like Ocean's Eleven.

The Cove is slick and smart and, in its real-life

urgency, puts Hollywood capers like Mission:Impossibleto shame.

21/23

Jeannette Catsoulis (The New York Times,

July 30, 2009)

The Cove is much more than just a record of thatadventure. Like the directors cover story, the movieis a Trojan horse: an exceptionally well-madedocumentary that unfolds like a spy thriller,

Consequently, anyone straying too close to the killzonea secluded lagoon protected by steep cliffs,manned tunnels and razor-wire gatesis violently

harassed by videocam-wielding fishermen hoping torecord an imprisonable offense.


22/23

Over-sentimental(?) expression

The motive to save dolphins is often sympathy for

cute and poor dolphins

Shocking scene is used intentionally

he also gives us a hero with a broken heartOBarrys big, wet eyes haunt you even longer than

that ocean of blood (the guardian)
