一个生态恐怖分子的自白 (2010)

　　Confessions of an Eco-Terrorist is a surprisingly entertaining agitprop documentary recounting the exploits of Paul Watson and his Sea Shepherd crew, whose specialty is constructing newsworthy confrontations with environmental bad guys all over the world. The film is briskly paced, structured as six separate eco-war stories spanning pioneering seal hunt interventions in Canada in the 1970's to cutting drift nets in the Galapagos. Their signature tactic, however, is ramming other ships, the drama of which makes for compelling film. While the film doesn't pretend to be balanced (there are no interviews with those being rammed) neither is it purely self-righteous polemic. It is narrated with a great deal of self-effacing humor ("a pissed-off vegan [which many of the crew members are] is better than having an AK-47") and open acknowledgment of the Sea Shepherd's manipulative tactics as they go about creating "mind bombs for the media". During the Q&A, reflecting on the Sea Shepherd's role in the environmental movement, crew member and director Peter Jay Brown noted that, in his opinion, the environmental war has been won over the last 30 years, given the public and political awareness of environmental issues and that there is a need to shift "to governing rather than just being revolutionaries". The film is like six mini-Cove's (last year's popular eco-espionage documentary), and is well worth a look for those interested in the subject. 　　译文(2): 《生态恐怖分子的自白》是一部极具娱乐性的宣传性纪录片，讲述了保罗 · 沃森和他的海洋守护者团队的英勇事迹，他们的专长是与世界各地的环境恶棍进行具有新闻价值的对抗。这部电影节奏轻快，由六个独立的生态战故事组成，从20世纪70年代加拿大开创性的海豹狩猎干预到在加拉帕戈斯群岛切割流网。然而，他们的标志性战术是撞击其他船只，其戏剧性使得电影引人注目。虽然这部电影没有假装平衡(没有对那些被撞的人的采访) ，也不是纯粹自以为是的争论。它用大量自我谦逊的幽默(“一个愤怒的素食主义者(许多船员都是)比拥有一把 AK-47要好”)来叙述，并公开承认海洋守护者协会的操纵策略，因为他们正在为“媒体制造心灵炸弹”。在问答环节中，工作人员兼导演彼得 · 杰伊 · 布朗(Peter Jay Brown)反思了海洋守护者协会在环保运动中的作用。他指出，在他看来，鉴于公众和政界对环境问题的认识，环保战争在过去30年中已经取得了胜利，有必要“转向治理，而不仅仅是革命”。这部电影就像六个迷你海湾的(去年流行的生态间谍纪录片) ，是非常值得一看的那些感兴趣的主题。
