The English title of the film: The Shallows, Hong Kong and Taiwan have translated it into "Dead Shark", but I think it is too vulgar, the mainland translation of "Shark Beach" is very appropriate, shark swimming in the shoal, it sounds scary.
There are many kinds of movies, such as "The Shawshank Redemption" with profound conception and profound artistic conception, which can't be relieved after watching it for a long time; there are also pure popcorn with a huge pattern and superheroes like "The Avengers"; there is another category, It's a thriller like this one, which is often super simple and rude. What everyone sees is the tension and excitement in the battle between the protagonist and the powerful natural creatures. It's exciting, scary, real, and enjoyable.
So "Shark Shore" brings you this kind of simplicity and rudeness. The only two protagonists in the film are Blake Lively, a beautiful woman with long legs and an explosive body in the famous American drama "Gossip Girl". And the high-intelligence CG shark who was so embarrassed that he was attacked by humans and swam to the shoal to take revenge on humans, the other actors are all tricks, and it is estimated that the cameo of the crew is enough. Invincible sea view + hot beauty + intelligent crazy shark, enough!
In the scorching summer, what the audience watched was how Blake, who paid equal attention to beauty and wisdom, fought sharks in swimsuits! Audiences in North America have bought into the film quite a bit, and the ratings are not low.
The mother of medical student and Texas girl Nancy ( Blake Lively ) has just passed away. In order to relieve her depression, she came to a remote coast to surf, sun, sand and giant surf. Everything in the waves is very beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and I don't want it. (Pay attention to Nancy's character setting, this is very important)
But because Nancy was a little bit covetous of this hard-won beauty, after the other two surfers who met by chance ended the team, she decided to chase another wave. As expected, an accident happened.
A big wave came, and a giant shadow of a shark loomed in the water wall. After being attacked, Nancy, who was seriously injured in her thigh, was trapped on a reef, although there was not much distance between her and the coast. , but a great white shark stands in her way. At this desperate moment, she must find a way out through her own efforts. Can she succeed?
I just mentioned that you should pay attention to Nancy's character setting. This is very important. Because she is a medical student, she will deal with huge wounds for herself, and will have enough professional knowledge to deal with all kinds of dangers that occur suddenly, because She is a Texan girl with the tenacity and tenacity of a Texan to fight that behemoth to the end. If it is an ordinary person, I think first of all she would not think of a person running to such a remote place to surf, and then she would not be as rational as Nancy after the danger happened, and she would have been eaten up long ago.
Human Shark Fight is a traditional project in Hollywood movies, and it has been put on the screen countless times. The most famous is Spielberg's "Jaws". It can be said that this film has deeply influenced the expression and plot of many subsequent films of the same type. the design of. Spanish director Zomi Hilla did not follow the old path of his predecessors. He was born in low-budget thriller films and knew it well. Therefore, he did not use a lot of pictures to show the various indiscriminate killings of mad sharks to enhance the excitement of the pictures. Rather, it focuses on the bizarre beauty, the unparalleled beach scenery, on the hot body and psychological changes of the heroine, and uses this to continuously promote the plot.
Through the modern cutting-edge audio-visual technology, the director not only fully demonstrated the fiery figure of the heroine Blake, but also created a brutal bloodthirsty and sad shark through special skills, allowing the beauty and the shark to have a fierce confrontation, thus showing the powerful human beings. The survival instinct of animals, this way of expression makes the audience have a strong sense of substitution, which greatly enhances the fun of watching movies. The director only set up very few characters, in order to fully express the heroine's deep sense of helplessness in a sea of trembling, this feeling of despair is more frightening than any horror.
The visual and visual perception of this film is also very pleasant. Sunshine, beach, beauties, bikinis, windsurfing, and waves are all elements that make people feel extremely comfortable, and the intense and exciting plot can also keep your adrenaline moderately high. , the limited shots and length of the film are also controlled more moderately, which will not make people feel tedious and uncomfortable. The main filming location for the film is Lord Howe Island, a small island about 600 nautical miles east of Sydney. This is one of the few natural, untapped natural scenic spots on earth, and it is believed that after the film is released, it will become a tourist attraction.
