Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Blackfish is a 2013 documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite that investigates the death of a trainer at SeaWorld due to the actions of one of the captive orca whales, Tilikum. The documentary poses the debate as to whether it is possible or not to keep such creatures like orcas in captivity due to them being very difficult to control.Released to overwhelming praise amid controversy over alleged ethics, the film functions as a terrifying exposé of SeaWorld and other marine parks like it, contrasting the family-friendly place SeaWorld presents itself as and the disturbing reality of abuse, cover-up and unlawful practices hidden behind the veneer. Partially due to the documentary, SeaWorld's profits went down, and countless people have boycotted it in response. | |

Adult Fear: Dawn, Keltie, and Alexis's deaths. The idea that you can be killed doing your job, and that your corporation will blame you for it. With Alexis in particular, his parents and fiance didn't know he was dead even because Sea World lied that he was still alive until they reached the hospital. | |

Alternative Character Interpretation | |
| Black Fish / int_5e7163c9 | comment |
Alternative Character Interpretation: In-universe, the trainers posit that Tilikum hit Rage Breaking Point when a show with Dawn went wrong and she was running out of fish. Mark Simmons says that Tilikum had no malicious intent towards Dawn but had a case of Does Not Know His Own Strength. | |

All Part of the Show: The trainers were encouraged to abide by this. On Dawn's fateful day, she was dealing with uncooperative whales and was trying to do a good job. As the trainers put it, it may have "started" as play when Tilikum grabbed her, but by the time it ended it was certainly not a game for Dawn. | |
