Topic: The Day of the Dolphin


  
  Dolphin swims, swimming with dolphins in Bahamas, eco-oriented wild dolphin swims
We slowly move over to a couple of dolphins that are lazily moving through the water and float with the boat next to them for a while.
For over two hours the dolphin stayed in the same spot interacting with each other and our human pod-only inches from each other with amazing eye to eye contact-the dolphins making all the advances and our human pod just floating there-it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
Our main focus is to protect and respect the dolphins in their home and to do our best to give our guests the experience of a lifetime in a safe and unique environment.

 A Day With A Dolphin
You actually get in the pool with the dolphin, although you do not swim with it, as dolphins have a funny way of playing, they ram each other sometimes at 30 mph, and let's face it, most human beings would find this most painful.
You are taught how to command the dolphin into their behaviors, which are the same as when they are in the wild.
Dolphins breath air so they are mammals, just like you and me, they are not fish.

 DVD Savant Review: The Day of the Dolphin
The Day of the Dolphin was the biggest sci-fi heartstring movie until 1977's Close Encounters.
The miracle dolphins Fa and Bee are kidnapped not for their linguistic achievement, but for their ability to follow orders in a fairly credible assassination plot.
My memories of The Day of the Dolphin from when it was new, was that it seemed a mish-mosh of audience-pleasing tricks combined with half-baked sci-fi and unwelcome conspiracy plotting.

 The Day Of The Dolphin DVD Review
“The Day Of The Dolphin” is a strange mix of drama, thriller, and even a bit of sci-fi as we see George C. Scott play a scientist who has trained a dolphin to speak in an effort to foster the first sentient interspecies communication on the Earth.
Dolphins perceive the world in way human beings can only imagine so perhaps there are many things we can learn since dolphins arguably appear to have a brain as intelligent as a human being.
Presented in an anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) aspect ratio, “The Day Of The Dolphin” looks pretty good on DVD though some scenes reveal some grain that appears to be from the source material and there is some shimmering on the upper edge of the widescreen aspect ratio presentation.

DAY OF THE DOLPHIN looks great; Nichols was given complete creative control over the film, as rare a thing in 1973 as it is today, and used his power to the fullest.
In the end, DAY OF THE DOLPHIN is a passable time-waster and is relatively impressive visually, but has little in the way of true viewing enjoyment.
Another plus is the dolphins themselves, who actually do appear to be speaking (although the voice they speak with is almost unintelligible most of the time).

 DVD Verdict Review - The Day Of The Dolphin
By today's standards, The Day of the Dolphin is a goofy premise, made even goofier by the eventual thriller plot and, in the frenzied final moments, is rendered totally and completely into one of the goofiest movies ever made.
Or possibly it was too many days in the tropics, allowing the baking and stroking rays of the Bermuda sun to confuse an otherwise sound and gifted filmmaker and his cinematic choices.
The Day of the Dolphin may long be remembered as the first chinch in Nichol's seemingly indestructible suit of creative armor, but all it really represents is a failed experiment in that most difficult of future shock filmmaking: the intelligent animal adventure.

 dOc DVD Review: The Day of the Dolphin (1973)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
It would be simple to dismiss Mike Nichols' 1973 thriller The Day of the Dolphin as "that talking dolphin" movie, but this is light-years away from the coy antics of TV's Flipper, and the story actually makes the implausible somehow seem plausible, even if the dolphins sound an awful lot like Furbies.
By the time the bad guy elements of the final act drama are unveiled in the third act, the presence of a gruff George C. Scott carrying on a conversation with a dolphin, a scenario that could have easily crumbled into a laughable mess with a less commanding actor, plays with actual heart-tugging drama.
The Day of the Dolphin delivers a deceptively emotional punch (as witnessed by the copious tears in the eyes of my daughter Sammie during the moving final moments), and the narrative is structured in such a believable manner that the concept of talking dolphins never seems ridiculous or laughable.

The dolphin scenes are wonderful, with beautiful graceful images of them frolicking, swimming with humans and some quite amazing footage of a dolphin giving birth.
