Still a great movie

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2011)

I first saw this movie when I was 15 years old and it took decades before I could go into the ocean any further than just my ankles. I had never been exposed to any kind of violence as a kid, and when I saw a man get eaten alive, I almost had an anxiety attack. Kids are different now. That kind of thing is no big deal to them. When I watch this movie as an adult, I see it differently. The biggest difference I noticed was that when the mother on the beach realized it was her son that did not come out of the water, my heart broke for her. In my opinion, this movie has lost nothing in the 36 years since its release....it's still a great movie.
