Captivity
|
IMDB rating: 5.80 Plot: Top cover girl and fashion model, Jennifer Tree (ELISHA CUTHBERT) has it all – beauty, fame, money and power. Her face appears on covers of hundreds of magazines. At the top of her game, Jennifer is America’s sweetheart. She is loved and adored and sought after. Everyone wants her. But someone out there has been watching and waiting. Someone wants her in the worst way. Out alone at a charity event in Soho, Jennifer is drugged and taken. Held captive in a cell, Jennifer is subjected to a series of terrifying, life-threatening tortures that could only be conceived by a twisted, sadistic mind. Inspired by the fact that over 850,000 people are reported missing every year in the United States, many of whom are never seen again, CAPTIVITY, follows the story of one woman who is abducted and tortured, held against her will in a place where days turn into weeks. Her will to escape and survive is challenged every moment by a maniac’s desire to demoralize innocent victims and play out his sick game that has been played many times before Jennifer was taken. A combination of SAW and HOSTEL meets SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, CAPTIVITY is a psychological thriller/horror film that shows us the true terror of the crimes of abduction and confinement that are committed every day by serial killers and psychopaths at large. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Roland Joffe (THE KILLING FIELDS, THE MISSION), CAPTIVITY delves deeply into the minds of both captor and victim with a fresh and terrifying view of this epidemic horror. Being released this summer in theatres nation-wide, CAPTIVITY has been called one of the most controversial films of the year. It’s a disturbing and raw, yet classy and thought provoking film which will leave you terrified, and looking over your shoulder as you leave the theatre wondering if you could be next. |

does anyone else think zoos are kind of an old concept and we shouldnt realy be keeoing these animals caged?
they should be in the wild no? unless they are endangered or in captivity for a short time, for research or something
most animals in the zoo are endangered. If it were’nt for zoo’s there’d be no more pandas. They cant even screw in the wild

Actually, in modern America zoos are some of the only safe havens for endangered, exotic, rare wild animals. They simulate natural habitats and most zoo keepers are veterinarians, wild life biologists, scientists, zoologists, endangered species specialists and activists. Zoos help educate the public about wild animals, their habitats and their connection to the world. If it weren’t for zoos, their work, their programs, their captive breeding and release programs, and the plethora of wildlife they care for many animals would be extinct.
If you are thinking of zoos in the ancient sense, 1800’s-1920’s then yes, they were just an excuse for showing off wild exotic animals for the entertainment and specualtion of interested Americans. Their role has however changed drastically in the past 80 years, where animals are the main focus and priority of zoos and humans are there to educate themselves on larger world matters.

I don’t think so. Zoos are useful as educational and research institutions. We can learn so much more about a species by keeping it in captivity than by chance observations in the wild.
