Lisa confides in her sister that the real reason why her boyfriend left her is because she wasn’t giving him the excitement he craved in life, and Kate takes it as a personal mission to prove him wrong. In the film, Lisa (Mandy Moore) takes her sister Kate ( Claire Holt) on the trip of a lifetime, down to Mexico’s beautiful blue waters and sandy white beaches, in an attempt to bounce back from a bad break up. We would get out at lunchtime, and I’m not usually a napper, and I couldn’t keep my eyes open. Even just like the littlest movements, or the seemingly simple days. “I don’t think either of us realized how physically taxing it was going to be, just all that time underwater. Because no one knew, like, what effects is eight weeks every day underwater going to have,” explains Mandy Moore. In that sense, we were kind of guinea pigs.

“When we both initially read the script, it was like, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen a movie like this before that takes place primarily underwater.
However, whereas the majority of killer shark movies take place mainly on the ocean’s surface, Johannes Roberts’ 47 Meters Down stands out due to the majority of the film existing almost entirely underwater. There have been a few noteworthy standouts and fun little additions over the years, such as Chris Kentis’ suspenseful Open Water, in which art mimics the real-life terrors of scuba diving couple Tom and Eileen Lonergan, and the more recent and more light-hearted Blake Lively-led The Shallows.
It’s been forty years since Jaws kept people out of the water, and by now, we’ve learned what to expect from summer thrillers that take place in dangerous offshore territories. She's on vacation.This isn’t your typical shark movie. 47 Meters Down doesn't need an ex-boyfriend subplot for audiences to understand why Lisa would drink, dance, and go shark-diving while vacationing in Mexico. It's mind-boggling screenwriters can't think of other reasons why a woman would lose weight, go to law school, or swim with sharks-and it's even more mind-boggling they keep placing men in narratives that don't require them. But the fact this trope exists in 2017 confirms many people still think a woman's main job in life is to please the men around her. And it's highly entertaining! Moviegoers aren't expecting some kind of feminist masterpiece. 47 Meters Down is a silly summer blockbuster-plain and simple.
Granted, a campy shark movie isn't exactly the best anchor to wax poetic about women in film. On some level, she thinks jesting with Jaws will save her relationship, which is why she does it.) They're all essentially at the mercy of the f-kboys who dissed them.
If Warner decided halfway through Legally Blonde that Elle was "smart" enough for him, would she have ditched Harvard? Would Monica have lost weight had Chandler not fat-shamed her? We'll never know for certain, but it's not far-fetched to think these women would've altered their paths in some way. The choices they make in their respective narratives are inextricably linked to (and controlled by) men. Monica, Sandy, and Elle are all interesting female characters, but their male-centric motivations, in a way, strip them of their agency.
