RE: The Failure of Nature Documentaries: Vilification of Species

in #science7 years ago

I agree, I don't necessarily blame the directors and studios that make the documentaries; I understand they aren't setting out with the intention of making a species look "evil" on purpose. And, overall, I love the finished products; documentaries are incredibly important. Like I said, we love a good conflict and that is reflected in our views of the animal kingdom; we are always gonna personify certain species and feel an emotional connection. And as educational as documentaries are, they still have to be entertaining and intriguing enough for us to watch them, and the best way to do that is with the thrill of these natural conflicts. It's hard to find a happy medium between educational animal show and action-packed film, and I think documentaries balance on that line pretty well.
