(Thematic) The Film “The Bay” Could Be Our Future |

The Film “The Bay” Could Be Our Future I had recently watched a film titled “The Bay”, where I formerly thought it was a true story. Well 85% of the story is true, as per what the filmmaker said. The Bay is a horror film, put together in a documentary style. It talks about isopods that mutated into large creatures that ate people inside out, wiping a small community out. The source of this mutation is chicken poop containing steroids that were dumped into the water. The same water was filtered and used as a water source by the community in which it was claimed to be safe to consume. Turns out that the filtered water had contained isopods larvae, so the isopods grew inside the human who consumed the water resulting the people being eaten inside out. A part of the film that is true, per 2017, is that the Chesapeake Bay is 40 percent dead due to the combination of agricultural pesticides, random pollutants, and steroid-in-chicken-manure that have been dumped into the bay. The film is meant to set an example of what may be our future. Chemicals polluting our water are already the present. My focus concerning the environment is on sea life, so I know a bit more about it compared to other issues. An example for a chemical substance that seeps into the water, which people may or may not know about, is sunscreen. Sunscreen containing oxybenzone can seep into the water, where this in turn will cause bleaching in corals. Corals are vibrant sea creature, so when bleaching occurs it means that they are dead and turn white. A lot of factors contribute to bleaching, and chemical in sunscreen is just one of them. It is important to know that coral reef has a vital role in the environment. They provide shelter for little fishes to hide away from their predators, where this then results in the abundance of fish in the sea. If growing fishes had no place to hide and are continuously eaten by their predator, then there will be a decrease in fishes. In conclusion, we all need to be more aware of our surroundings and the environment. Try and not be part of the problem by continuously learning, understanding, and applying knowledge that had been gained.

Hi Ida Ayu Mas Amelia Kusumaningtyas, this is a mentor Sang Su Lee.
Thank you for mentioning general threats to marine life that people can incur. Water pollution is very dreadful not only to marine ecosystem, but also to humans. Water is the source that is viable to human and animals. No single creatures cannot survive without water. Through the film, you get your interest and this is very good. I hope we would endeavor to stop water pollution.
Thank you so much!

Hello Ida Ayu Mas Amelia Kusumaningtyas, this is mentor Taehyun!
Thank you for the report about the movie, The Bay! Fascinating review with the movie, I've never watched this movie, and after I read your report, I want to see this movie! The concept of this movie is quite similar to the Korean movie, 'The Host' (which is the movie by director Jun-ho Bong, director of the Parasite). Similar concept, but a little bit different plot! Interesting! Thank you for the introduction to the new movie!
Green cheers!
