◎简 介
In 2015, Spanish environmentalists posted a video showing a dolphin trainer mistreating animals at the dolphinarium in Mallorca. It prompted an international scandal, because the trainer in question was José Luis Barbero, who had just been appointed as vice president at the prestigious Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta in the US. Barbero had a reputation as a visionary trainer who, over the decades, radically changed the world of dolphin shows. This is a man who demands everything of himself, his staff and his animals. Was the video an indictment of the entire system or a deliberate attempt to destroy the reputation of one person? Two worlds collide in The Last Dolphin King. On one side stands the lucrative entertainment industry, which treats intelligent animals as valuable commodities. On the other are the animal rights activists who launch an all-out attack on the man and the sector he represents. When Barbero is reported missing, we discover that his past is as complex as his personality. Eyewitnesses describe a man who was increasingly trapped in an industry without a future. 源自:https://www.idfa.nl/en/film/74a44ac2-7654-4e68-b6bc-333da683fd4f/the-last-dolphin-king
简介:
2015年,西班牙环保人士发布了一段视频,显示一名海豚训练员在马略卡岛海豚馆虐待动物。这引发了一场国际丑闻,因为这名培训师是何塞·路易斯·巴贝罗(José Luis Barbero),他刚刚被任命为美国亚特兰大著名的乔治亚水族馆的副总裁。巴贝罗被誉为一位富有远见的训练师,几十年来,他从根本上改变了海豚表演的世界。这是一个对自己、员工和动物要求一切的人。该视频是对整个系统的控诉,还是蓄意破坏一个人的声誉? 《最后的海豚王》中两个世界发生碰撞。一方面是利润丰厚的娱乐业,它将聪明的动物视为有价值的商品。另一方面是动物权利活动人士,他们对这个人和他所代表的部门发起全面攻击。当巴贝罗被报告失踪时,我们发现他的过去和他的性格一样复杂。目击者描述了一个人越来越陷入一个没有未来的行业。
