A Marvelous Movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2013)

I watch this movie at least ten times every year, simply because I love it! Before watching this movie, sharks never really scared me. I just regard them as creatures trying to defend themselves, sometimes resulting in unintentional deaths of humans.
My summer vacation with my family always took place in July. And where else would it be but at the beach. I can still recall always hearing the theme song from the movie in my mind whenever I felt something brush against my leg. I was terrified of going into the murky waters, afraid that some giant, man-eating shark would come and devour me. However, one never did, otherwise I would not be typing this review!
I also believe that this film gave the world a fear of creatures that we should not honestly be afraid of. We just simply do not understand the true nature of the sharks yet. They eat to survive, and attack because they feel threatened. They do not do it for sport, or any other reason. Humans often refer to them as evil things, and creatures that should not be allowed to live. There are a few, however, that understand the shark's nature. They cannot help the way that their brains were wired. We humans call them beasts, but they are just trying to survive.
This movie, however, is one of my absolute favorites. It will remain one of my favorites for as long as I live.
