** Well, obviously "miracle" is understood as some kind of masterpiece here. Evolution has come up with something so void of any flaws it's almost too good to be true. Other species need to evolve in order to overcome obstacles, shark's barely do since they are almost the same animals they were millions of years ago. That's, in Hooper's mind, a miracle.

* While the film is ''filled to the brim'' with scientific inaccuracies, one that I don't think has been talked about a lot (although it's possible I'm wrong about this and it ''isn't'' an inaccuracy, though somehow I doubt it) is the fact that the shark is observed preying on people at both day and night throughout the film, suggesting it doesn't have a regular circadian sleep cycle, which I guess I found somewhat unlikely? Although perhaps this one may in fact be somewhat plausible given that they apparently only need about four hours, according to this article: https://justagric.com/how-does-a-great-white-shark-sleep/

*** Or maybe the shark wasn't the only critter to chew on the guy. Plenty of hungry crabs and lobsters down there, eager to tug whatever might be edible from a predator's leavings.

new argument on miracle


* Hooper's reference to the Great White as a "miracle of evolution" is somewhat curious, given that it's in the context of him describing it as a "perfect engine, an eating machine" and "all this machine does is swim, and eat, and make little sharks". Aren't those exactly the traits that evolution favors? A true "miracle of evolution" would be a poor swimmer/hunter with a low reproductive rate that somehow survives and thrives regardless.

* "It's only an island if you look at it from the water." - "That makes a lot of sense." -- Always wondered if Hooper's answer was meant to be sarcastic or if he approves of Brody's quirky style. Elseway it doesn't make that much sense. When I look at an island from the water, all I see is one coastline. The land could stretch for thousands of kilometres. I only know if it's an island if I look or walk around on land.

*** The eye itself may have caught on something in the attack and got pulled out of the socket. The boat was pretty banged up. Maybe a sharp spur of wood or something else caught the eye and just tore it out. Leaving the connective tissue dangling free.

** What did the shark do to Ben Gardner to pop his eye out? Did he crush his head? Doesn't look like it. An eye cannot simply fall out of its socket.



* Why didn't Brody and Hooper decide to use both the Orca and Hooper’s boat to hunt the Shark? neither of them wanted the reward so that wasn’t why they went out to sea. They would have been better equipped to go after the shark by having the two vessels searching, so why limit themselves to one boat where they would be stuck with quint?

** It's actually easier on one boat. You need a captain, a lookout comes in handy and there's plenty of work to do on deck. Maybe Quint went for smaller sharks alone but ''that'' shark was something else. So one vessel it is, and since Quint is the captain it's the Orca.

** And. . . that's not actually how you hunt sharks. Or most underwater life for that matter. "Depth charging" can be effective, since water is incompressable and transmits shockwaves better than air, but the ocean is still really big, and you need to get at least close to the shark -- and far enough from your boat -- to kill it without sinking you. A huge part of the tension is that a lot of things humans would normally use to defend themselves against a large wild animal are at greatly reduced effectiveness or flat-out ''don't work'' in water or when transitioning from air to water (Quint's .30-06 rifle bullets likely shattered completely upon hitting the surface of the ocean, or at least hugely deflected and lost the vast majority of their kinetic energy). Harpoons, bait, and fishing lines are all proven methods to hunt large ocean-going wildlife, because they're almost the only things that are effective at all for that purpose.

*Why did Brody and Hooper decide to hunt the shark using only Quint’s boat? All they know is that Quint is a shady shark hunter that they have no reason to trust (which gets proven when he destroys the radio). So why didn’t they use both the ORCA and Hooper’s boat to hunt the Shark? We know neither Brody or Hooper wanted the reward, surely they would be better equipped to go after the shark by having two boats. It not only would have greatly increased the chances of finding and killing the shark but it also would have meant Hooper and Brody could get away if something happened to the ORCA or Quint could no longer be trusted.

* ''What''' was wrong with that shark? The shark in the movie displayed an unusual amount of tenacity and aggressiveness, which, unless I'm wrong, is not normal shark behavior. So is there any plausible explanation as to why the shark acted the way it did?

** There are several ways to look at it. The most common theory is that the shark is a rogue animal and is more aggressive than normal since sharks don't actually attack people that often. Rogue animals are in fact a real world phenomenon, and there was even a rogue shark in history that is believed to have caused the 1916 Shark Attacks. While the shark in this film is far more aggressive than usual, even for most rogue animals, there is some credence to this behavior.
** Another interpretation is that the shark is possessed by the Satan, and that He is using the shark to attack mankind. This would explain the super-shark feats that are being accomplished which the heroes can't account for or explain. The trailer also explicitly implies such.
