If Megalodon is the only villain in the film, what exactly is good and evil?
Megalodon, the legendary prehistoric beast, is the overlord of "Dugu seeking defeat" in the ocean. The largest megalodon may exceed 20 meters and the bite force can reach 20 tons. It is known as the most powerful biological overlord on earth. The bite force of a dragon is only 5 tons. The dense teeth in the megalodon, up to 270 in total, can kill large prey on the spot. Whether the megalodon is extinct or not, there is a scientific conclusion that the megalodon disappeared millions of years ago, but some people think that the megalodon still exists today. Thus, the basis for the story of the film emerged.

The director of "The Megalodon" is Joe Deterduba. For domestic audiences, most of the impression of Joe Deterduba is still in "National Treasure". In the 1990s, Deterduba contributed He has produced a number of very good films, such as "From the Earth to the Moon" directed by him, such as "Crossing on Ice", "Instinct Reaction" and "Love at Second Sight" by independent directors. After entering the 21st century, the level of Dete Duba is basically online.
"The Megalodon" is the most grand scene in Deter Duba's directorial career. It was filmed by Hollywood photography master Tom Stern. Tom Stern won the Oscar for "Suspicious" in 2009. Best photography at the Academy Awards (nominated), "The Hunger Games" we are familiar with, and "Captain Sully", which was popular some time ago, are all from his hands. Many deep-sea pictures, from lighting to composition, are still very good. In place, some pictures of the deep sea are still "fascinating". In some scenes with the ocean as the back, such as the little girl playing with toys in the "corridor" of the marine laboratory, although the focus is on the characters, the ocean background outside the glass, cool black and blue colors, floating light spots, Construct the heart.
In the control of the rhythm of the film, shortly after the beginning, A Jun's voluntary death reached a small climax, which was unexpected to me. After that, there were several times of fear, and the fear was relieved. Just when people were relaxed, they suddenly gave a blow, and Zhang Youchi was able to push the audience to follow the film forward.
Although the film has a thrilling atmosphere, it is full of jokes, and most of the stalks belong to domestic audiences that can be understood, so the "laughing fruit" in the cinema is very obvious. What's particularly hilarious is that after being attacked by the megalodon, everyone was reduced to a piece of ship armor. The scientific researcher DJ stood on the ship armor and complained, but the rhythm of the speech was completely rap...
Of course, the most important thing to watch in the whole show is Jason Statham. Making this movie should be regarded as his old line of work. Before he officially entered the showbiz, Jason Statham was a British national diving team athlete. There are several scenes where Jason jumped into the sea, and his posture was quite Nice and neat. In the film, the 51-year-old bald man can still be very sexy by contributing his half-naked upper body muscles.

Although the death of Dr. Zhang and the relationship between Li Bingbing and Jason Statham were a bit blunt, the flaws did not hide the flaws, and the overall situation exceeded expectations. Typical Hollywood blockbuster: giant beasts, lone heroes, bloody fighting scenes, special effects also have the texture of Hollywood blockbusters... However, there is something else in the film.
In the film, a symbol "harpoon" appeared many times . On the promotional posters, there was an image of Jason Statham carrying a harpoon. In the play, Jason Statham appeared with a high-tech "harpoon" on his back. In the picture, in the final hand-to-hand fight with the megalodon, Jason Statham inserted the eye of the megalodon, which can also be regarded as a "harpoon" symbol. In Western mythology, the harpoon is the symbol of Poseidon, the god of water. His weapon can set off huge waves and crush everything. Therefore, the film finally arranged to stab the "harpoon" into the eye of the megalodon and finally won, which is actually a metaphor.
In his films, Deter Duba likes to explore the relationship between man and nature. Nineteen years ago, in the thriller and suspense film "Instinct Reaction" by Deter Duba, the protagonist lived with gorillas in the jungle day and night, and reflected the weakness of human nature and the evil of society with a murder mystery. This time, the story moved from the jungle to the deep sea, and the plot changed from the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals to the fight between humans and giant beasts. However, in the setting of the plot, the old principle is still followed: when you come out and mix, you always have to pay it back.
The megalodon escaped from the seabed because human research broke the thermocline on the seabed, and as a result, several researchers sacrificed their lives. This is a causal cycle; in the ocean, the first ordinary person to be attacked by the megalodon is in the ocean. The poachers who "killed sharks and cut sharks' fins" in the novel are also a causal cycle; if the reason why the megalodon must die is to attack humans, then the reason why it can attack humans is that humans opened the door for him... Humans explore nature in the end, Or is it ultimately self-destruction?
At the end of the film, the killed megalodon was bitten by whales that came from all directions, and the ocean was bloodied. You must know that 2.6 million years ago, although the megalodon was the overlord of the ocean, it was only happy to feed on cetaceans. Later, due to changes in the earth's water cycle, the food of the megalodon decreased sharply and gradually went extinct. At the end of the film, the megalodon "died" again because of the whale, which is not so much a tribute as it is an irony.

Finally opened a brain hole, are all the escaped megalodon dead? Or, was the dead megalodon in the film all that escaped from the bottom of the ocean?
