After watching "Crocodile Storm", I feel that compared with the film "Jaws" of the same theme, it is indeed a classic. There is a reason why it is called a classic and cannot be copied. Both are animal horror themes, the depth and height of the great white shark are hard to surpass. I'll just compare:
1 Background
The background of the great white shark is that the great white shark is natural, it came suddenly, it feels more like the providence, it is not human, so the confrontation with the great white shark feels more like fighting against the providence, a kind of tragic metaphor. .
The crocodile storm is due to human negligence, a crocodile farm, ah! Sure enough, capitalism is unreliable, don't you even have an emergency plan, and what should you do if the crocodile runs away during storms, earthquakes, and alien invasions? Sure enough, it is mercenary capitalism. The crocodile escaped in the hurricane. It felt a little deliberate or could not stand scrutiny. It was a deliberate feeling.
2 Stakes
Great white shark hunting is a fact, but the deep fear is why many insiders are reluctant to admit it, because the town is a beach and needs to provide income for the whole town during the peak season, so everyone from the mayor to the fisherman chooses Do not believe in the existence of facts, this is more terrible than the great white shark.
When the crocodile came out, it was simply eating people, eating a few thieves, and eating a few rescuers, without any terrifying stakes behind it.
3 order
The great white shark first ate the girl who was swimming at night. The police officer who found the carcass the next day insisted that it was caused by being involved in the propeller. Then it ate the swimming child. The angry mother slapped the sheriff and asked him why Without warning, the town offered a reward for hunting great white sharks in a small area, and then someone tried to fish with beef (shark) and was almost counter-fished by the great white shark, and then the trio went out to sea for the first round of search and found that the great white shark attacked. Fishing boats, the entire hunting process of great white sharks is gradual, and great white sharks are wise and haunted. And everyone's shark attack is different and never repeated.
Crocodile...Is this a crocodile restaurant, can't eat it, was beaten with bare hands, was shot with a pistol, why don't you hurry to find the next one to eat?
4 heroes
The sheriff in the great white shark, he was hesitant at first. Although he reacted as soon as he learned about the great white shark, it was not thorough enough. He could only keep people away from the sea. After the attack, and even after his son passed by the shark, he realized - "If you have the ability and don't do it, then the consequences will be your responsibility." This is also his courage. With marine shark research scholars and old fishermen, the motivation to form a death squad to go out to sea.
Crocodile... No, probably to show how swimmers can swim to their potential, just put a crocodile behind her, this is a cold joke.
5 details
The old fisherman in Great White Shark himself said that he once participated in World War II, in which he was responsible for transporting atomic bombs. Once the warship was in distress at sea, he and his companion fell into the water, were attacked by sharks, and his companion was eaten by sharks. This is an anti-war episode. So the old fishermen who transported the atomic bombs to kill the civilians themselves ended up dying by sharks, and the participants in the war are all victims and there must be some way of redemption.
Crocodile...nothing! It is sensational, forced sensational, anyway, the heroine is the biggest, the heroine's father ran to the basement because of his wife's derailment and long-term depression. This is the hidden plot.
