Hello and welcome back Shark. Here is to another episode of
Deep Dives with Sharks. My name is Alex.
I am the host here. I have not changed my name or
been kidnapped, so that's exciting.
Jaws did really well when I did an analysis of that and people
asked me if I could do 47 Meters down as well, which was a very
interesting movie to say the least.
I'm currently working on regular episodes as well, but there is a
long list of sharks to do so I'm playing with a few ideas on how
to get more sharks to you guys faster, but it would involve
mixing up the episode structure. So maybe not doing safety or
news for an episode but doing 3 sharks.
Now I'll run a poll on here, Spotify, Instagram, and also
discuss more on Twitch as well. But the goal here is to give the
shark here is what they want. And of course, with that, that
could be anything from regular episodes to more sharks per
episode, more movie analysis, or other options that I may have
swirling around in my brain pending monetary support as I
unfortunately do not have the financial assets to do that at
this time. But do have a couple ideas
spinning, which is nice. Now I am more than happy to give
you all what you'd like because of course the reason I started
this podcast is because I couldn't find one that just
talked about sharks. I'd found different podcasts
like Shark Files Pod that talks about different shark bite
incidents, or Shark Pedia that talks with different researchers
and has them talk about the different studies that they had
been a part of and how they interacted with sharks and what
they thought was really cool and a challenge and everything like
that. What got me into shark podcast
was a podcast called Let's Talk Shark that I haven't been able
to find in a while, but they talked a lot about diving with
sharks and how to be safe around them, which is kind of what
inspired the safety portion of this podcast.
So I found a lot of them that were really cool and really fun
to listen to, but they didn't just tell me about a species of
shark and go from there. So that's why I started this
one. There are a lot of things that
are negotiable on this, except for the fact that I will still
be talking about sharks no matter what.
But we can change structure and different things like that
depending on what you guys are looking for.
But just want to give that little update real fast and also
let you know that we're going to be talking about 47 meters down
today. So that's exciting, but I'm
going to see how accurate it was when it comes to the portrayal
of sharks. And also let me be a movie
critic for about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on how long
this episode goes. But as always, you can follow
along on Instagram and Twitch over at Deep Dives with Sharks
or you can also go on Twitter at Deep Dive Sharks.
Although I think I've kind of left that one too to rot.
So I'm I'm probably going to have to update that at some
point. But going into 47 meters down.
Now, this movie was released in 2017 as a horror survival movie
directed by Johannes Roberts, and it uses great white sharks
as the main villain. So it is absolutely deplorable
off RIP. Now I'd like to mention I did
pay $3 to rent this movie months ago and I refuse to pay another
$3 again. So I did take notes in the case
of this would happen and this would get backlogged for a
while. So I've got that going for me
now. If this stops making sense I
apologize and I will be more thorough in the future.
But at the point of starting the movie you just kind of have a
black screen with intro music which is very reminiscent of
Jaws. I must say the music also is
very similar to Jaws. So I was confused if I was
watching the right movie. And then they decided to pop up
Harvey Weinstein's gross name on the screen and that was just
bad. I did not like that.
So yeah, gonna have to do a lot to win me back.
Now, during the first interactions of the movie, we
get to meet our protagonist or main characters Kate and Lisa.
Now, these two are sisters, but they have negative -7 sibling
powers, which is a tongue twister I did not mean to give
myself. But Kate could not pick up that
Lisa is feeling upset and or telling her that recently her
husband, boyfriend, significant other had left her.
So clearly, Lisa's having some high emotions.
And high emotions can often lead to bad decisions, which is
social mercury and also foreshadowing.
But some locals popped up and decided they're going to be
like, hey, so we're in Mexico, Don't go cage dive with sharks.
And Lisa's like, yeah, seems pretty sketchy.
We're all right, we're not going to do that.
To which Kate replies by calling her boring, which Lisa had
literally just mentioned that her boyfriend, husband,
significant other left her because she is boring, which was
rather manipulative. And when I say quite literally,
I mean, within the last five minutes, it wasn't even like
they cut and there was like a a big elapse of time.
She's like, Oh my God, you're so boring.
And it's like, weird. That's what my ex said anyway.
That's just that rate rubbed me the wrong way.
I was annoyed about that. But they've also never gone cage
diving and if someone random comes up to you offering to go
cage diving for pretty cheap and you're not near a boat, the math
is not mapping in this moment. So I say abort mission.
That's just a bad idea. It's pretty sketchy, especially
since they're staying on a resort which most likely had
activities such as snorkeling and diving that were probably a
lot less likely to get you killed.
Just a thought. Also for shattering, did I say
they get killed? They might, they might not.
You'll have to watch the movie and or listen to the rest of
this to find out. But we get to the next day when
they're going cage diving and the girls are taking a sketchy
small boat ride to an even sketchier rusted out boat.
Which it doesn't look like this thing should be floating, which
is probably why they had to go on a smaller boat to get there
because it's just stuck. But they show a massive cage on
the boat as well, which looks rather rusted to par for the
course. And I'm also not convinced that
boat will be able to pull that cage.
But I'm not a boat or cage expert so that's a lot of
speculation, but kind of just a a numbers guess.
I don't think that boat would either be floating or be able to
pull that cage anywhere. Now, before the cage is in the
water, you see some of the crew chumming the water, which is
usually done in better ways than they're doing in the movie.
What I've seen on TV or documentaries is usually a fish
head or a Chomsicle that helps with controlled distribute
distribution and has done enough to get sharks curious and to
come closer. But it's not pain in the ocean
red to send the sharks into a frenzy or bring out potentially
aggressive behavior. So you're just trying to get
them curious, not get them to attack those in the cage.
Now before they even get in the cage, one of the girls, I'm
assuming Lisa, I forgot to write down who it was, begins
panicking. And instead of actually like
using calming techniques to be like, Nah, you're going to be
good. Like everything's fine.
Like just deep breaths. You're, you're going to be
there. We're going to get you back out.
You're going to be good. Instead, someone comes up to her
and goes, you got to calm down right now because sharks can
sense you 5 miles away. That is an untrue fact.
That is just not true at all. It's not even a fact.
It's fiction. Sharks can sense many things
from a distance away. They also can detect a drop of
blood in an Olympic sized swimming pool.
Of course, if that Olympic sized swimming pool was empty.
So you know that's they can sense things from far away, but
maybe not as far as we've hyped up.
They usually can sense things a little over half a mile or a
couple football fields since Americans will measure and
everything. Besides the metric system,
another issue I have with this setup is that many dive cages
I've seen have some type of buoy on them to help keep the cage
upright, but also help alleviate some of the weight off the
wench. Now it doesn't alleviate a whole
lot, but it does take a little bit.
Now this cage does not have a single buoy on it, so it should
not be sitting upright, it should be completely sideways
and also it it's no surprise to me that this this whole stupid
cage just decided to break and go down to the bottom of the
ocean. It was just going on an
adventure. Now they're also foreshadowing
that air is going to be a problem because before they even
get into the cage, they're telling them about the air and
what to watch for. So they mentioned the air on the
boat in the cage when another group goes about 9876 times.
Yeah. So air is going to be one of the
deciding factors of this already.
We can tell. That's good.
Now, of course, when the cable does snap, which is not really a
spoiler when the title of the movie is 47 meters down, but
instantly all you hear is them going, Oh my gosh, the air.
Do we have enough air? What's your air at?
My air is at this. Do they know about our air?
What? How are you breathing right now?
Do we have air as our tanks going to work this deep with our
air? You kind of get real sick of
hearing about the air by like 1/2 an hour into the movie.
I don't care about your air anymore.
You just keep yelling about it, which also if you're trying to
calm yourself down, breathe a little bit, deep breaths, it's
going to calm you down. You're going to use less air as
well because you're not going to be short breathing so much that
you're just kind of sucking in more carbon dioxide.
But you know, just just a thought.
But they're screaming away all the air currently because
they're not breathing it in. There's going our air, which
great, you know, Now I do also believe that boats have some
sort of fail safe to ensure that they don't drop the cage because
I feel like that'd be huge news if that happened.
And I feel like there has to have been a time or two where a
wench or something breaks down. You know, accidents happen, but
I also don't think we've ever heard of a cable snapping and
I'm going to the bottom. Mind you, I don't know, I could
have missed it. It could have happened, but
that's just crazy that like there's nothing in place to stop
that. This whole situation was sketchy
anyway, so it's fine. But after the cage thinks all
the way to the bottom of the ocean or gulf, I don't know.
I don't think they told me or I wasn't paying attention at that
point, but I believe it's Kate decides she's going to swim up
out of the cage to get back into radio range because of course
they fall in 47 meters, which is outside of the radio.
Now that's not the worst idea possible.
It's pretty close though. If there's aggressive sharks
that have been circling and hitting into the cage before,
just stay in the cage. Stop disregarding all safety.
Just a thought, maybe things will turn out OK.
Of course it is good to get back in radio range, but at the same
time it's not as though the captain and everyone else
suddenly missed the cage snapping and you all missing.
Just a thought. You know, they're probably
looking for you. Now at this point, Lisa is in
full panic mode and losing so much air because she is short
breathing the entire time. It's like if you've ever seen
someone drink a smoothie really fast and they try doing the big
gulps, but then it gives them a brain freeze.
So then like on their second try, they do like a bunch of
small ones to try to get it down quick.
They're doing all the small gulps, which is working to get
down a smoothie. But like, when you're trying to
save air and you're trying to stay calm, panic breathing is
not helping at all. Like you're just wasting your
air at that point, and that is not worth it.
So instead of like having a deep breath to calm herself down, she
has instead decided she's going to suck away all the air and
figure out what happens from there.
You know why not? Now Kate finally decides to
return to the cage, which was the cue for the sharks to go
into sicko mode and start braiding the cage because you
know, it's their job. Apparently they weren't watching
her when she's outside the cage. They got to strike fear into
their victims heart first. Or if not, it's not fun.
But you'll see sharks bump cages in real life to see what they
are and often try to figure out what they're looking at, what
they're interacting with. They don't usually slam into
them repeatedly like they're trying to open a pinata, but
apparently the human prize inside this rusted metal pinata
was just too much for these fake sharks.
Now, right after attacking the cage and not making any
progress, the sharks decide they need to regroup so that way they
can find another strategy. So that way they can just
disappear into the night until it's convenient to show up
later. Now, this is when Lisa and Kate
are informed via radio that they can't swim to the surface or
they'll get the bends, which essentially is rapid
decompression of the body pressure.
I'm not entirely positive what the bends is.
I didn't look into it. I should have.
But yeah, I know that it has to do with decompression.
And if you do it too fast, it can have a lot of bad
repercussions. I think the rule of thumb is
that you can't swim faster than your bubbles.
I also know this came up in later Jaws movies because
someone at the Jaws panel at Sharkon was going over how did
that diver not get the bends and all the actors were like well
because it's a movie. Just the thought.
But no, they were dedicated to to make sure that they got the
why they didn't get the bends, you know?
But anyway, so Lisa and Kate are informed they can't swim to the
surface or they'll get the bend so they have to take breaks
while reaching the top. Now they are also super
surprised to hear that they'd have to swim through shark
infested waters, which is a dumb phrase.
Now of course if sharks are in the area this would be a non
issue. In real life they tend to get
bored pretty quickly so you could just resurface pretty slow
and avoid the bends of sharks in the area.
They'll kind of just hang out. They don't usually look at
people and go oh look someone avoiding the bends rush them.
Like it just doesn't happen. Now at this point I can't
remember which character says this, but someone mentioned that
bottom dwellers always attack from below, which is false.
That is just incredibly false. Breech predators like great
whites, Makos, and threshers sometimes breach on their prey
which is from below will be gongs.
Angel sharks and other carpet sharks such as the whale shark
as well, tend to be ambush predators that rely on quick
movements to help catch their prey by surprise.
Great whites are not carpet sharks.
Now also whale sharks are carpet sharks, but you may be
wondering, how do they ambush their prey?
Well, their prey is incredibly tiny and they're 40 feet long,
so they just kind of swimming is enough of an ambush.
It works, but Kate and Lisa have the great idea while waiting for
a backup wench to be connected to the cage that they're going
to try to hide from the shark. Now, for some of you who very
much enjoy sharks, you'll know that ampullae of Lorenzini exist
and they help to detect electronic pulses, you know,
like a human heartbeat or a human swimming or a fish
swimming or anything moving in the water.
So, you know, just kind of living in a hiding spot.
The shark would kind of just show up and be like, oh, hey,
found you, but you can't run. Or apparently you can run but
you can't hide from this psycho shark.
But evidently you can't run either.
You can only hide. It's weird, but this shark is
ramped up on ketamine or something, so he's going to lose
his mind and try to get them a little bit more.
Now, another big issue with this movie is looking into it.
Sunlight goes about 1000 meters down before it.
It's too dark. They went into the cage during
the morning time, it looked like, so it was still sunny out.
But apparently they just went down to the bottom of the ocean,
quote UN quote, at 47 meters and it's pitch black.
You still have 953 meters to go. But you know, in this movie, the
sun's just weak. You know it's fine, but science
be damned because they also have to use flashlights to see which
light attracts sharks. So you're essentially a disco
ball at the bottom of the ocean. Which is why you should not dive
at night alone unless you're with professionals because they
know what they're doing. And also having someone watch
your back while you're all using flashlights, it's rather
helpful. Now at this point Javier who is
one of the crew members decides to show up here finally saved
with a wench cable. Except we aren't because he
senses something is wrong with the sharks and decides to yell
you need to get back in the cage and is immediately eaten by the
shark, which have to add very polite for the shark to wait for
him to finish his panic line before getting bit, but you
know, that's good. The shark also decides to throw
the body at Lisa as if implicating her in the murder.
So maybe Lisa should stay down there to avoid any charges or if
they're in international waters, she might be good.
She should probably talk to a lawyer through the radio to see
what her best option is. Perhaps a shark lawyer.
They might be able to help out. But the cable that Javier was
bringing down is now at the bottom 2, but still connected to
the boat. And instead of following the
cable, you know, to safety and such, they just kind of wander
back to the cage. You know, why not?
Which also, how did you not get lost?
They can't see and they're running out of air and doing the
most, let's be real. But they're kind of just down in
an unfamiliar area. They've got the cable with them.
They could just, you know, slowly go to the surface.
Maybe the sharks aren't following the cable.
But instead, they're like, hey, let's swim in the open to try to
find the cage again. Why that's so weird.
But they somehow managed to get back, and they get the cable
hooked up, and they got a little too happy.
So of course, things had to go bad.
You know, when you're in a horror movie, if you start
getting a little too happy, things got to end.
So of course, as you're getting pulled up, the cable breaks
again. Now it was at this point that my
girlfriend, goalie, for those of you who know of her, decided to
yell, bro, get out of the cage now and grab the rope.
Oh my God. Which is a very accurate
sentiment I have to add at this point, because at this point
you're, you're halfway there. You know, they were, they were
back up, they were moving. The cage is pretty much open.
Just get out and follow the rope.
But when it snaps, they're like, Oh dear, we're we're stuck
again. Terrible it it's like they any
good decision they could make. It's like they just kind of
looked at an option that said make the good decision and the
word no. And they just kept hanging the
word no over and over again just to see what would happen.
And you know, a lot of this was avoidable.
That's all I can say. But it's at this point that
Captain Shady Mcconner Cutter decides he should now alert the
Coast Guard. Like to point out, it's been a
while since they've been down there.
And just now we're alerting the Coast Guard.
Quint will be so ashamed. Just that's all I can say.
Quint did not die for this. My God, now they figured to buy
some time, they're going to drop some air tanks down to Kate and
Lisa, but warn that they could go into nitrogen narcosis, which
is a wild and cool cool sounding thing that basically means
they'll go loopy because there's too much nitrogen in the tank.
You know, but the the whole science behind it.
But when grabbing the oxygen tanks and return to the cage
because they fell a little bit away, Kate had to be the one to
go get it because at this point Lisa's leg has somehow been
pinned by the cage when it fell back on the bottom.
So now Lisa is stuck in the cage.
She does not have a choice. Kate goes to get the the auction
tanks but the shark is like you know what?
I can just sense the bad vibes on this lady and you know the
bad ones taste the best. So he just goes ahead and eats
her, which this is of course supposed to be like the big
heartbreaking moment in the movie, and it's supposed to be
sad and horrifying. But like, I really had no reason
to root for her. Like she was a jerk the entire
time and her death shouldn't be celebrated.
But also this whole thing is her fault.
Like Lisa did not want to be here.
You called her boring after she got left for being boring.
She didn't deserve to die, but definitely deserve to get like
kicked in the shin repeatedly. You know, like when the cage
falls, like it should have like bumped her uncomfortably now,
like her elbow hurts the rest of the movie or something like
that. You know, like something that's
like not death, but at the same time like each you deserve to be
mildly inconvenienced. All right now, if I had just
watched my sister die at the fins of my favorite animal while
I'm trapped under a cage, I'm calling it that's that's Gigi's
that good fight. I did what I did.
I tried my best, but at this point I'm out of fight.
Like there is just that is a gut punch I don't think I'd be able
to recover from. But Lisa dealing with a breakup
and dealing with the now death of her sister and dealing with
running out of air that she was so concerned about an hour ago
somehow is like, Nah, I'm going to make this happen.
Which is some insane resolve. Like, well, well done.
Like as a social worker, got to give snaps.
That is incredible. That is just cool.
None of that has to help her mental health.
And she somehow is like, yeah, I'm just going to keep on going.
Which bravo, you know, bravo. But from here, Lisa decides Step
1 is going to be to get free of the cage.
She needs to get the oxygen in. And if she doesn't, well, she's
gone though, so she's going to try to get free of the cage and
grab a spear gun that was also dropped by Javier because he was
the one bringing it down to see if he could like keep them safe.
But she wasn't able to reach the tank with her leg, but she can
kind of get the spear gun. So she starts reaching over and
like grabbing the the spear gun and it for some reason has a
hair trigger and it stabs her, fires, stabs her and also like
hits one of the tanks, I think. And now there's blood in the
water, which is supposed to be like, oh, terrifying, but like
these sharks already insane. So like they're they, they knew
they were there. I guarantee that the blood's
going to do something weird, but who knows?
Now, I've never used a spear gun, so I don't know if they
have a hair trigger or not. I know that other guns can.
I've also never used those, but I feel like they shouldn't.
I feel like neither of them should have a hair trigger.
I know that like things wear down, but I feel like spear
guns, like I feel like whenever you see people like fire them,
like there's a lot of force put into it to fire those I feel
like. And that's just me watching
movies and stuff. I don't have any experience with
it. So once again, speculation.
So at this point, Lisa somehow gets the tank over to her, and
without having any previous diving experience, her current
oxygen tank pretty much empty. Being physically exhausted after
fighting with this cage, she's somehow able to replace her own
oxygen tank with no problems at all.
This could have been a legit plot point in my opinion.
It could have. It should have.
But instead we've decided that angry super aggressive shark is
the movie. This was in my mind.
I so fun fact, I have a fear of dying being via any sort of
asphyxiation, you know, just not being able to breathe, drowning,
anything like that just is uncomfortable to me.
So this movie could have been one of the scariest movies I've
ever seen without having sharks in it.
Just straight up have someone who's afraid of deep water put
them in a cage, have the cage fall, have them be running out
of air and that alone right there.
Like have them have to survive and get help without air.
That right there. Great movie in my opinion.
You've got so much to work off of now.
Movie where shark is enemy #1 air is a a background problem,
but shark shark will be the persistent problem.
Why, why why? Like there's so many more real
life applications they could have thrown into this, but
instead we're like, oh, sharks, Gary anyway.
But so they pretty much just went with sharks bite things and
call it a movie. Anyway.
So at this point, Lisa's got the new tank in and we're we're
dealing with the everything that's happened.
She's like, so she tries like to be calm and be like, you know, I
just need to keep surviving. And then she magically hears
Kate over the radio, which makes her believe she's alive.
But I was sitting on the couch and because everything that
they've made a big deal of up to this point has been a problem, I
instantly was like, you know, it's going to be nitrogen
narcosis. She is not alive.
She is going to be just absolutely hallucinating this.
And Kate essentially just tells her that she needs to free
yourself. Now mind you, she is still free
or stuck under the cage now rather than using this beer that
she shot at herself, but it's still within reach.
Or any coral or trying to use any sort of leverage.
Lisa in her glorious genius decides it's a better idea to
push down on the cage, essentially crushing her leg.
More physics do not exist in her brain.
But when that doesn't work, she decides, you know, legs had a
good run. It's cage as rusty as all get
out. But you know what works great
with making sure that you don't lose a limb?
Salt water. So I'm going to get just the
most aggressive wound on my shin by just pulling my leg out from
underneath this rusty cage, which my brain immediately went
to when I used to play soccer. And I would get turf burn from
time to time, which any athlete has probably gotten turf burned
at some point or another. That hurts a lot.
But now imagine you've got turf burn from a rusty cage and
you're in salt water, so there's literally salt in the wound.
And this scene made me make the most guttural, involuntary noise
that you can imagine because Oh my goodness, that was
horrendous. That was no, I did not.
I did not need that. See, this is what I mean when I
say that this movie could have done so much better.
And like the horror like scene of it, like that scene, great
portrayal of like the the uncomfortableness that you want
from a horror movie. That was fantastic.
The air thing versus a shark. Anyway, I'm not going to go back
to harp on that, but anyway, now I am being a little nitpicky
with this this next point here, but the entire time she keeps
bleeding at very inconsistent rates.
Like 1 scene she's like pretty much done bleeding and the next
scene the water is red. Because she's bleeding so
profusely she should have either bled out or not by now.
Now mind you, I do remember the nitrogen narcosis.
Like none of this means anything at this point, but like still
like they could you at least have it be like a little bit
like you see a little red here and they're not like
everything's red tinted one minute and the next minute
everything's fine. But she's finally free and she
begins to swim to the surface, Bens be damned, and she gets
bitten by the shark at the surface.
Now, this was probably the most realistic bite at first, at
least because it got her leg, which can happen usually in the
case of mistaken identity. But then she tries holding, like
it tries holding her for ransom because she's just like, I don't
know, he's like thrashing her around and like fighting her.
I'm like, she's not going to spill your secrets, bro.
Like I know you tried implicating her and Javier's
murder, but like, I don't know, like do you think she's going to
go tell people the shark did it? Like what do they what do you
think they're going to think? Like she's suddenly bit people?
That's weird. But anyway, God knows why but
she gets free and is so excited to be back there and safe with
her sister. But of course, spoiler alert, it
was in fact Nitro narcosis. She's still at the bottom of the
ocean, but the Coast Guard is here and they're here to save
her. Thank God because that means the
movie's over. Holy smokes.
I was so glad this movie was was done it it.
Like I said, there were so many moments that this movie could
have gone in a direction and I feel it would have been so much
better. Now I'm also not a director so
maybe I'm wrong, but when it comes to realism of sharks in
this movie, you'd be crazy to think I'm about to say it's
realistic. This portrayed sharks as
murdering machines that hate humans, the ocean, and of course
the fish around them. Sunlight boats, auction tanks,
and people named Lisa, Kate and Javier to be exact.
I also feel that it was not the best movie I've seen this, but
it's it's just like the movie critic in me and also the movie
critics in real life as they only gave this a 5 out of 10
stars on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb.
So not a great score. There's definitely been worse
scores, but the score is higher than any movie I've made.
So I've made zero. So it's not really tight
competition. They did better than I did on
any movie. But as I mentioned, if they
would have gone in more of a direction of this incident
occurred where two people are stuck at the bottom of the ocean
in a cage. It's low light.
They're thousands of meters down.
So they want to be more realistic.
They're still light, but it's still hard to see what's going
on around you because they that's another thing why I think
they made it dark is because they wanted to make it so that
way you couldn't see the sharks like swimming around them and
things like that. But I feel like just the
blueness of the ocean when you're out there is more What
would get me then just the pitch black.
Now, mind you, pitch black also scary, but when you're in a
horror movie, you almost expect it to be pitch black.
I think it'd be almost scarier if if it was blue, but it was
just a blue ocean. But anyway, they were going with
that plus them running out of air, trying to figure out how
they're going to survive with that, figuring out how they're
going to get back, avoiding the bends and like having so like
just the the slew of incidents that could have continued to
occur minus the sharks. I feel like it could have been
decent. But then again, you also need a
driving factor, which you'd have to have the factor X, which they
use sharks for factor X. And I don't even know what I
would use for factor X. I'll think about it and get back
to you. But if anything, I did find some
scenes entertaining. I did have to hear Lisa say, did
you hear that Kate 18,000,000 times?
I feel like she was an NPC almost.
I feel like the writing was a little bit lazy with Lisa's
character. I feel like anytime anything
happened she was immediately yelling did you hear that?
My air just kind of repeating the same couple lines over and
over again and it quite literally felt like she was a
Skyrim MPC and I just kept bumping into her while running
through white run. Like it just didn't make sense.
It just I don't get it. But I do feel like this movie
could have been better. I feel like if anyone out there
is trying to write a movie about an ocean horror or something
like that, using the shark as a villain is not a terrible idea.
I feel like you could start with a shark bite or something like
that, but like a small one. Because I think too that like
having that be a factor like of getting bitten by a shark could
be a fear. I mean, it's a real thing that
can happen, but I think having it where it's the main thing
they're trying to avoid because every time the shark bites them,
they're oversized and just eating them in one gulp.
It's not very like the two times that we see the shark bite
someone. Both times it's not.
It's like you see the shark kind of come up and then the person
disappears and then they're never seen again unless their
bodies thrown at someone. So I feel like having a shark
bite be a part of the issue but also not be the main issue could
be a really good move in a movie like this.
But there we go. See I figured out issue X,
there's a shark bite wound somewhere and they're trying to
figure out how they're going to solve that while running out of
air and other things. Boom OK sign it I'm on it let's
go new movie. We're figuring it out.
But of course thank you guys for listening.
This was an interesting ramble. I appreciate y'all being here.
Please come hang out on twitch as well at deep dives with
sharks. I try to be live every Tuesday
and Saturday, but kind of like how I'm late with a lot of
episodes here, I'm late with a lot of streams too, so we'll
keep you updated on that. Follow along on Instagram at
Deep Dives with Sharks as well. I don't know, I'm going to plug
the Twitter 'cause I keep forgetting to update it.
So if I start updating it, I'll bring that back in.
But thank you guys very much. Be kind to each other and you
all are awesome.
