Dolphin Tale

The film perpetuates the myth that swimming with dolphins "restore" disabled people like my daughter

I lost count of the days of my disabled daughter has offered to swim with a dolphin. While people with disabilities struggling to get a crane or help a couple of hours at home, many charities to fly to Florida to experience the miraculous way to frolic in the water with a friend of Flipper. According to the organizations that sell snake oil as "dolphin therapy" relieves a wide range of disabilities, increasing the attention span of a child with attention deficit disorder to cure paralysis . Dolphin Tale is the last vehicle to spread this propaganda. This film is about the family of remarkable powers, restaurateur dolphin named Winter brings to troubled youth and the disabled.

two great myths afloat this link to a marine mammal with a person with a disability. There is the myth that dolphins have human characteristics, in the film, Winter the dolphin performs lively conversations with people in a grinding language. And there is the myth that all disabled people should be together again is a good dose of inspiration -. Even an animal

is an international industry that works on the assumption that the dolphins are less than a wavelength away from us. Dolphin Dance Project Arts organization to make films of humans and dolphins that dance together in the oceans. He says that "we approach the work and collaboration among equal minds," and asserts, without any sense of irony: "We like to think that everyone who looks at our dance to recognize that the dolphins are also people. "

No, not like her. It is not that at all. Winter can be a part of a bank, but has never been to school, or for a birthday or a sleepover at a friend's house. But it is reduced to nothing more than their disability. The only way the dolphins daughter and distance - and only at a distance - is as good as the two have a disability. It reminds me of a young woman I met who had no weapons. He complains that it has been consistently associated with a girl from his neighborhood who had Down syndrome, "because they are so similar."

The film follows the struggle of the winter to "overcoming" their disability by having a tail prosthesis equipped to learn to swim again. Publicity for the film told the story of Winter "is a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people." The message is clear my disabled daughter. If a dolphin can do it, if you can. But it can not, and it is an insult to think that a diving marine mammals to make a difference.

There is nothing wrong with a trowel, but could even make you feel a little better. But the claim that swimming with dolphins have healing powers is a scam which should be cast.
