Title: Great White Bored to Death
Review: The description given by Amazon makes this sound like some sort of explosive and exploitative snuff film. Its not. Its about sharks alright, but also other creatures of the sea. Glenn Ford is the narrator and does a valiant job, but the material here comes across as one of those films you were forced to watch in science class in high school. One of the nastier, and quite dated, aspects of this documentary is its utter nonsensical portrayal of great white sharks as demons of the sea. They aren't and the lengths at which the documentary goes to explain that is frankly rather disgusting. Want to see humans devoured by great white sharks? Don't look here. Actually what you spend the last half hour witnessing is the needless slaughter of these majestic animals in South Africa. It made my blood boil and made me ask "Who are the REAL monsters in this scenario?" The filmmakers don't decry this practice but rather belittle the wisdom of conservationists at the time, albeit 1981.
Is the review positive or negative?
