This movie was never about character development. This movie is
never about a couple having a fight. This movie is not about
sharks. This movie was never meant to be filmed in a pro way.
This movie is about how your will and your life falls to pieces when
facing something that could be a nightmare and you feel you're
totally awake. This movie is about desperation, about your life
being taken from you with hours to feel how you will not be the
same, because you know it's over for you, but you don't want to
believe it... something we like to call hope.
You may have entered Open Water willing to eat all your popcorn
and coming out of the theater telling jokes and feeling life is here
forever. But this movie is about the opposite.
This is a wonderful film, and I thought Susan was going to be
bit**ing all the time and stuff, but she didn't. The ending was so
damn sad. I left the theater in a quiet fashion. I couldn't say a word
to my girlfriend because I knew she felt for them too.
You don't need character development when you turn on the news
and see millions of unknowns blown to pieces or starving. You
don't need it because you know they are like you. Made of the
same matter, and as fragile as any other animal.
Open Water is a beautiful piece of movie-making, and it's so
human that it's almost unreal.
