Marine biologist and doctoral student Amani Webber-Schultz rates 10 shark attacks in movies and TV shows, such as "Jaws," for realism.
Webber-Schultz breaks down the accuracy of shark behavior and appearances of the great white shark in "Jaws" (1975), "The Requin" (2022), and "The Shallows" (2016), starring Blake Lively. She looks at the likelihood of shark attacks in "Unbroken" (2014), "47 Meters Down: Uncaged" (2019), and "Finding Nemo" (2003). She also looks at the realism of various shark species, such as the megalodon and tiger shark, in "Never Say Never Again" (1983), "Deep Blue Sea" (1999), "Shark Night" (2011), and "The Meg" (2018), starring Jason Statham.
Webber-Schultz is a doctoral student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a research focus on shark morphology and biomechanics. She is one of the cofounders and the chief financial officer of Minorities in Shark Sciences, a nonprofit dedicated to fundraising for and culminating a space for gender minorities of color in shark sciences. She is also the cohost of "The Sharkpedia Podcast."

These people grew up in love with these animals and they often romanticising to the puplic either out of misguided love to that animal or to protect it .They are way more dangerous and opportunistic they eat anything that moves when they're hungry, Same with bears. Yes they might not attack you if they're full . But good luck finding that full great white. Another false information is that shark in general are important to the environment not all of them , only the bottom feeders like the Basking shark, the whale shark and maybe the goblin. All the rest are just another Predators that compete with us for fish . That's why many countries eat them to increase the fish h in that area and also the fins taste good 😊.

Honestly, one of the most realistic shark attack scenes I've ever seen on film was in the movie Soul Surfer. It's based on the real-life story of a girl who had her arm bitten off at the shoulder by a tiger shark while surfing and the way it's done in the movie is so disturbingly accurate. No massive, slow-motion breach, no thrashing and screaming. We barely even see the shark at all, just a splash and a split-second when the mouth is above water, and then she's off her board and bleeding profusely, barely even able to speak from the shock. Scarily accurate to how it would actually go down.

I think people forget that Jaws was literally about the mythical “rogue” shark. Hooper even says the digestive system is slower so they’d be able to see any limbs or body parts in the stomach. He also mentions that a normal shark DOESNT act the way Bruce does when Brody asks if they were dealing with normal shark behavior, furthering the idea that JAWS was about a special freak of nature 😂

@mortimerbrewster3671 Год назад

I love sharks, which is why I'm watching this, otherwise I never watch "experts" talk about what's right and/or wrong about movies because they usually miss the nuance or purpose of portraying things wrong. Like you said, Jaws repeatedly noted how the shark was not typical or behaving normal. Her information is interesting but movies should always be recognized as entertainment, not educational.

@TheConGaminator Год назад

I found it very frustrating how the editors inserted one of their shots of a _real_ Great White that Spielberg used for the film into the video when the expert was talking about the puppet's gill count. I give her a pass though, because she was hired to talk about real sharks, and Jaws does not portray a _real_ shark (although there are occasional shots of a real Great White for the underwater shark shots). What she said about audiences taking this film with them into the real world and altering their perception of sharks kind of contradicts what you were saying. My meaning is, not everyone recognized Bruce as a unique freak of nature. They couldn't seperate fact from fiction, and I think that the shark expert here does a fine job seperating fiction from fact.

@kyoswkyosw1216 Год назад

Rogue sharks aren’t exactly mythical, but they do it for the same reason other big predators do it. People are slow and weak, if the predator is injured they might only be able to catch the food with bad hearing, slow, and no sharp claws to fight back with. Bears, usually only white sharks, and lions have been known to “go rogue” Also her complaining about the Megalodon biology like she would know for a fact a shark that large wouldn’t need more gills to draw more oxygen is a little upsetting to me, since I believe sleeper sharks have varying number of gills based on their subspecies/size, I think the largest, the greenland sleeper has 7 gills where their smaller cousin only has 5 on each side. We also have sharks specifically named “7-gilled” and “6-gilled” sharks Also upsetting she said white sharks breach only for food, when recently they’ve been found to breach without food in the area and we can only speculate it’s for either fun, or they’re testing their speed, not to mention breaching isn’t even some slow buildup then a burst of speed, they actually sit well below the waterline where their prey is and move straight up to intercept/ambush their prey at high speeds to cause blunt trauma to break more blood vessels as they bite to sever them, causing their prey to bleed out faster. This is why white sharks have the highest fatality rate even though they have the lowest rate of attacks, wanting to be 100% sure it’s a food item before expending that large amount of energy

@dylanconnolly8884 Год назад

@@mortimerbrewster3671 I agree with both you and the Congaminator. i feel like this was reclipped because obviously that was the scene which did show a true great white which was incorporated into the movie and then also she isnt taking into account of the movie itself. Bruce the shark surely wouldn't act like that around small fishbut when hes pretty much a vegetarian and hasnt eaten fish in how long, then surely the drop of blood he hasnt smelt so close in so long, would send his sensors into over drive etc. i mean she stated amazing facts and called it how it is but i just get slightly annoyed when the story of the shark in the movie isnt properly presented with how the movie is trying to set it up. Fairs fair but atleast go along with the movie if your going to critique a movie.

5:46 Exactly. My fist encounter with a shark was a large Great White female that bumped me from behind, diving in murky water, other than a very wet, wet suit I came to no harm. It looked me over then slowly swam off. Since then I started spending holidays swimming with sharks recreationally. People don't realize if you swim in the ocean, even if you don't see them, they see you. No one fights off a shark, fish are all solid, strong, muscle (try holding a 12 inch squirming trout) and then imagine it 10 feet long, no one out swims a shark. If they want you they will have you, period.

It's stupid to try to do but if you have a 7-8 foot shark charging you for the fish on your hip and you can't get it detached then it's better to face up and kinda guide the shark past you using either your gun or your hands.

In one case a great white lept out of the water to take a child off a boat, in another a great white decided it wanted a surfer & was NOT letting go, but her boyfriend WAS able to fight it off & rescue her. There were a couple of other similar fight off attacks, but that girlfriend one was the one where that shark was NOT letting go & the boyfriend REALLY had to fight it hard to save her.

Still a terrifying thing to see, but ultimately beautiful and something I think was quite special to see first hand like that.

I do have one comment about her remark on being bitten in the abdomen: it's NOT unrealistic that you can survive such an attack. There was this episode on Mythbusters related to just this, and they actually showed a real person who got bitten by a great white, but basically had him in his mouth. He managed to escape by writhing and hitting the shark, which made the shark drop him. They even show his bite marks, which shows the size of the shark's jaw. One side was on the guy's clavicle, and the other was around his pelvic area.

@Felyxx Год назад

@watering the event I was referring to was was a white shark attack. Look up the episode/episodes that Mythbusters did on it, if I remember correctly they actually showed the real person who had survived, not sure if they also interviewed him, but I 100% remember seeing him with jaw marks which went half circle starting from his clavicle and coming round onto his hip.

To be fair, she didn't say it was unrealistic to be bitten there at all and survive. She said it was unrealistic to be bitten and dragged/carried under without massive damage (severe lesions, interal bleeding, and potentially missing a chunk of yourself). That is true. A small bite, or even a large chunk of say, a larger person's subcutanrous and even visceral fat being removed without harm to internal organs? Sure! But the force required to grab, hold on, and really pull you under like that is going to cause both shearing and crushing injuries to the point that surviving that is unrealistic, even if not totally impossible.

The ‘average’ female great white is around 16 feet long, but Deep Blue was measured to be 20 feet back in 2013. Also there were 3 very, very large female GWS filmed in Hawaii back in January of 2019, I believe. One was Haole Girl. She is about the same size as Deep Blue. If there are multiple 20 footers swimming around out there, I’d extrapolate that there are probably some closer to 21-22 feet long… and THAT is not far off of the 25 feet that Bruce was supposed to be.

@tiabeaniesemotionalsupportdmon 7 месяцев назад

@@themindgayer5367 We don’t even have a guesstimate on how many great white sharks are in our oceans, so we can’t really know what an accurate ‘average’ of their size is. Apparently, they can live about 70-75 years, and they do continue to grow in length, to a point. So how can we really know their ‘normal anatomy’? Given the fact that the marine mammal protection act was passed in 1972, thus allowing the main dietary staple of adult GWS to flourish in number and to find new areas in which to live, and that the U.S. government listed the GWS as a protected species in 1997, which then prohibited people from catching and killing them, this has given the sharks that were alive during that time, and who have been born since then, plenty of food and protected waters in which they can thrive. This means there are probably some massive GWS swimming and enjoying their lives out in the deep blue sea. The fact that so many bystanders have reported seeing “dinosaur-sized sharks” in South Africa and in Australia and New Zealand (and not to mention the ones that have been documented in California, Mexico, Cuba, the Mediterranean, and Hawaii) just goes to show that there are absolutely some truly big, beautiful sharks all over the world. I think it would be silly to make such an assumption that 20+ feet is NOT a normal finding. We can only guess, but I believe that we might be seeing more larger individuals simply because they are not under the threats they once were, so we don’t yet know WHAT their ‘normal’ even is. 🙃🙂 Also, you might be onto something if Bruce’s size wasn’t accurate. Who knows? I think there might be part of one of the longitudinal halves of the puppet they used as Bruce when filming the movie in some junkyard somewhere. Or maybe on some backlot. Very sad. It should be in a museum somewhere.

the author of Jaws, the book the movie was based on, actually had a large impact on advocating for the preservation of shark populations after he realized the damage his portrayal had caused (people began hunting sharks for fun or to kill the 'largest' one, most often pregnant females of the species, among other things). He's also the reason we have Shark Week on the discovery channel, and hosted sometime in the early 90s.
