Of course you have to fight with nature, with fate, with disaster, and with despair.
After the escape? There is absolutely no need for you to have the alert of "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the rope".
Don't try to avoid insecurity, put your stopwatch on, and live happily and peacefully with disaster.
1. After watching "Shark Shore", I repent
After watching "Shark Shore", I deeply regret.
This year and last year, for two consecutive summers, I had performed countless times in a shoal in Daya Bay in the Pacific Ocean—without a diving suit and without any protective gear, using the equipment of a swimming pool, I performed breaststroke in this waters— - She also waved to the girl who was standing not far away.
Now I think: It's true that my grandmother didn't accept me. If she wanted to accept me, I would have turned into shark dung long ago.
This is how the story of Shark Shore unfolds - beautiful sand, clear and enthusiastic waves, you feel like you are swimming in a landscape photography competition gold medal, but the great white shark may be 20 yards away from you (180+ meters) The place.
If there happens to be a dead whale stranded, then you have to pay more attention - after the great white shark eats the meat of the dead whale, you are its reluctant dessert.
2. The stunning "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively
Blake Lively did a great job.
It is this blond beauty with a beauty mole, cheap, wild, and very energetic at first glance. At the beginning of the film, she is changing swimwear and surfing, and with this Mexican beach, I really feel that this weekend is extraordinarily beautiful.
After watching "Shark Shore", I was ready to take the potential risk of my mother and also watch her "Gossip Girl" make-up class.
She acted really well: from the medical school graduate with her thoughts at the beginning of the film, to the stunning swimsuit beauty after that, to the terrified little stunner, and finally stubbornly living on and killing one with her bare hands The female warrior of the great white shark, and then to the family sweetheart at the end. Every expression of her, every frame of the picture is so close to you.
I remembered a certain experience I had in Daya Bay last summer. The young woman was really white and marked. I felt that I had to swim to her side with all my limbs, which led to the girl who went with me that night. I have a sexual strike. But if I see Blake Lively surfing like in the movie next time at the beach, I'm willing to put up with the sex strike that night, and I'll take a few more peeks.
There's nothing to say, it's time for straight men to show their stance and vision, let's go to the cinema.
3. Victory over nature or surrender to nature?
Never giving up in the face of natural disasters and stubbornly surviving, this is the theme that Hollywood has played for decades.
Of course, this film also expresses this meaning, even if your leg is bitten by a whale, your arm is stung by a jellyfish, and you will either become a whale's dessert, or die of blood loss, or starve to death... But, Don't give up, hold on, hope is 200 yards away from you, although despair is cruising back and forth at 10 yards. But, just can't give up.
But I think: This film expresses more than the old theme of never giving up. It also has a reverence for nature: don't look at this shoal is beautiful, it takes your breath away, but the next second you may be dead here.
4. Try to coexist peacefully with disasters
The sense of security is the innate appeal of human beings.
There must be people around you who have already passed the well-off line, climbed the middle class, and far surpassed the affluent line.
They have 20 million cash in their bank cards, and Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen each have a villa so big that the echoes are not very loud, but they still work hard to make money. Most of the time, it is to find a sense of security, or: they want to use wealth to let themselves forget their insecurities.
Shark Shore is just that: a beach you're familiar with and confident in can turn into a whirlpool of disaster the next second. So what about escaping disaster?
Do you need to maintain the vigilance of "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a rope"? Fuck him, just wave as much as you like. This is America, and this is life.
At the end of the film, Blake Lively takes his father and sister to surf on the beach in Texas, as if the catastrophe had never happened.
That's what the film is trying to tell you: try to live at peace with insecurity, don't try to find safety and cut off the wonderful because of it - family, career, life.
Sometimes I feel that it is too bitter for human beings to live on this planet. The so-called beauty and happiness are so short-lived and fragile. If so, it's time to stay happy.
What's the problem with 5.4.5-star videos?
What's wrong with this film? Too simplistic view of good and evil.
This is actually a very realistic thriller. However, the two plot designs are not very reasonable: the thief who was desperate to be saved was finally bitten in half by a whale, and the heroine was bitten by a whale anyway, and she killed the whale in the sea with her bare hands.
Especially the one in front, the middle-aged Mexican fat man who tried to steal the heroine even though he was dying, and was also an alcoholic, he was finally treated badly by the director, but this also made the film's highly documentary style slightly offset. .
Another point: the heroine surfed for the last time after receiving a call from her father on the shark beach and fell into a family conflict. This surf did not connect well with the previous paragraph. The clip here gives the feeling of being cut in half, not only Music and pictures.
But I said it a long time ago: the plot is the least important element of a movie, and even more so here.
Let us use this film to welcome the end of the month of domestic bad films and usher in another autumn with beautiful films. There are movies, there are other people's stories, you will not be alone.
I give Shark Shore 4.5 stars, go ahead and don't miss it.
