Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016) by The_Truth_101 — 16 Oct 2016

The unethical conclusion of the movie totally -- yes, totally -- ignores the colossal environmental impact of Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Apart from a brief reference to environmental impact at 2/3 of the way through, via a scene with a distressed bird covered in oil which dramatically interrupted some humans (i.e. main focus was their inconvenience/surprise, not sadness at the ecological tragedy), there are no references to the colossal environmental impact whatsoever.

The movie's conclusion labours for five minutes in a "R.I.P." slide show listing of the 11 humans who died.

Their loss is a great tragedy, however 11 human deaths should never hide the 10,000's of animals who died due to this oil spill. The movie's conclusion completely ignores all of this.

Species killed and poisoned by this oil spill: North Atlantic Bluefin Tuna; Sea Turtles; Sharks; Whales and Dolphins; Brown Pelicans; Shorebirds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_the_Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill.

Peter Berg, the director: what a loser. What an unethical jerk.

We live in a co-dependent world with the environment and wildlife. 10,000's of animals were killed and their natural habitat destroyed, then a movie is made that pretends it didn't happen: totally unethical.
