I have to admit I really love the movie too; executed well all around.
There is just something about vulnerablity to shark attack that evokes
the deepest primeval fear in me; perhaps it involves being attacked completely out of one's element, makes the vulnerablity all that much
greater. And it's very humbling to think that a large fish is actually
making a meal out of oneself, instead of vice versa. (The very notion is
outrageous and an affront to one's sense of self-esteem and dignity!)
I get a similiar fear with vulnerablity to large crocodile attacks also;
reminds me of the newspaper article I read some years ago about the unfortunate lone sunbather on a deserted beach in Darwin, Australia; all
that remained were a few bloody tattered clothes and a sandtrail leading
to the ocean where the giant saltwater beast had dragged it's horrified
victim! - AH
