Valerie Taylor is a shark fanatic and an Australian icon — a marine maverick who forged her way as a fearless diver, cinematographer and conservationist. She filmed the real sharks for “Jaws” and famously wore a chainmail suit, using herself as shark bait, changing our scientific understanding of sharks forever

显而易见,2017年的“Save a shark,eat a Chinese”,到本片上映的2021年仍然没有过去。n大胆猜测,在某些人心里,类似的观点还会持续很长时间,毕竟中国人是最好的背锅侠嘛~
(没想到我在豆瓣的第一篇影评是因为喜欢的片子没有影评...)
一句话总结:喜欢的自会好评,不喜的各有理由。n就我来说,喜欢潜水,因此喜欢本片:
1.历史镜头有【史海钩沉】之感n看了本片才知道,渔猎比赛是这样的,老式潜水壳是那样的,防鲨服是这样来的,《大白鲨》是那样拍的,等等等等,可谓大开眼界;
2.人物心路变化写实n从渔猎到捕鲨,从以鲨谋生到护鲨半生,一步一步走来,自然而然,只是领先了时代一点,但的确是开创环保事业的前锋,实属不易;
3.作为记录片,不失艺术性n临近片尾,画外响起潜水的“呼——呼——”音,画面混剪年轻和年老的片段,恍惚之间、时空交错,仿佛一切都没有远去,他还陪伴在她身旁。
当然,作为一部小众题材的纪录片,瑕疵难免。n但是,下面这两句话实在诛心,基本绝了它在国内公映的可能:
