Robert Stewart Sharkwater

Arising over 350 million years ago, the shark species has been labeled as a human devourer. Now, with the increase in human population, the demand for shark meat, fins, and cartilage are at an all time high; therefore, the existence of the shark is becoming a concern (Budker 1971). Individuals are conditioned to think of sharks as a negative aspect to the environment, which is prolonging the effort to save shark species from becoming extinct. With that in mind, some private as well as national organizations have accepted the challenge of educating and informing people about the existence of the shark specie and its importance to the sea.

In the movie Finding Nemo, Nemo learns to understand that believing in ourselves can overcome any condition. This is shown throughout Joseph Campbell’s Monomyth. Marlin, had his son taken away by a scuba diver, this is where the monomyth takes place. It is Marlins call to adventure to find his son. The refusal of the call as seen in the monomyth, is exemplified through Marlins fear of the deep sea. While defying his fear, he runs into his supernatural aid whom is Dory. Dory acts as a supernatural aid through keeping Marlin calm, cool, and collected. Throughout the long hard journey, Marlin finds his goddess is a nice and helpful seagull. The seagull flies him and Dory to the dentist office where Nemo is waiting on his father to rescue him. The similarities between finding Nemo and the different stages accurately relate to Joseph Campbell’s monomyth. Here are some ways that Joseph Campbell’s monomyth and the film Finding Nemo relate.

"You know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces. Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour."

In the documentary Blackfish, many different types of film techniques are used throughout the film. As the film begins within the first minute or so the viewer is presented with haunting music and a pitch black screen white while audio of numerous calls that are being made to the police about an orca who has eaten a trainer at SeaWorld. The film puts viewers on edge by using the dark background and music and the call between the dispatcher and a SeaWorld trainer. While an underwater video is being played of an orca the audience is led to believe that they will see an orca which will attack a SeaWorld trainer, but then we soon find out it is just a show between a trainer and an orca. As the dark unwelcoming feeling turns into an

An encounter with a shark is not something that many people really want to experience. The movie Jaws definitely put the fear of the ocean into many people. Sharks have been all over the media lately; Shark Week on the Discovery Channel just ended, and several attacks have been reported over the last few months. However, on a happier note, a beached Great White was saved this weekend in Cape Cod by beachgoers who sympathized with the struggling animal.

“I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food (Finding Nemo).” This child's movie has some accuracy in the sense of a sharks image must be changed in order for the “mindless eating machine” label to be taken away. There is one movie that deserves all the blame for this inaccurate labeling of sharks, and that movie is “Jaws.” Released in 1975, Steven Spielberg directed a movie that changed the minds of ocean swimmers forever.

Over the past 100 years sharks attack numbers, though rare, have been increasing. Ironically two of the most recent attacks have happened this month, which is the 40 year anniversary of the movie Jaws. these two attacks happened at Oak Island in North Carolina. The two attacks were at different times, only by hours, but on the same beach. It’s suspected that either a tiger or bull shark had attacked these two teen girls, but usually great white, lemon, spinner sharks are to blame for human attacks. Attacks this year had also been performed by a nurse and mako shark. Most attacks are categorized as “provoked attacks.” This is like a shark getting a shark bite during spearfishing, shark catching, or even releasing it from a line. Sharks accidentally

The idea of the fear of sharks has been around for many years. but the real question is do we really need to be afraid. many of our fears come from the death of people because of sharks in the ocean. the real truth is that many sharks only kill because of their natural habitat and not because they are vicious. in the movie the shallows and the document tree of sharks it will explain and give evidence that sharks at some point of their killings only did so because of reasons that are not because they are bad.

I think keeping orcas in bondages isn't compassionate. To keep orcas in a zoo for show is satisfactory, however it is unfair to leave them for life in a water tank to stay there until they die. I saw the film Blackfish and now, I dislike SeaWorld. They think more about benefit than creature welfare. Keeping these conscious creatures prisoned for an expanded time causes them internal mental harm, as confirm by a few executioner whale assaults on coaches. SeaWorld Stimulation required a major explanation when the film 2013 narrative about a portion of the executioner whales, the most forceful one being Tilikum, a 12,500 pound male who assaulted two coaches. The film sparked many individuals to wake up and quit supporting, SeaWorld's three marine

Rob Stewart embarked on a mission to expose the clandestine nature of the illegal shark finning industry. He did so through his photography, videography and writing. Stewart made multiple documentaries including Sharkwater and Revolution. Stewart also wrote Sharkwater and Save the Humans. Stewart’s actions of exposing the shark finning industry did not go unnoticed by the public or individuals profiting from the illegal shark finning industry. Stewart was arrested in Costa Rica for filming the illegal poaching of sharks. The poachers remain free and unscathed to this day by their documented crimes.

Googe 1 Avery Googe ENC 1101 Professor Alling April 19, 2015 Jaws When most of the world hears the iconic song from the movie Jaws, their mind automatically shifts to images of giant sharks and severed limbs. Thanks to the film, many people boycotted beaches and mothers strictly kept their children away from open waters; triggering a massive cloud of fear and ignorance that would consume most, if not all, of the world. Jaws coated the general public's perception of sharks with a curtain of blood and fear, vilifying them for decades to come. With the films debut in 1975, it kick-started a tidal wave of mass hysteria and paranoia, and as a result the public's attitudes on sharks plummeted as fast and as deep as the titanic.

Have you ever been on vacation and was scared to go into the ocean because of sharks? Since many people are unaware of the potential danger of the ocean, they would be enlightened to know about the deadliest sharks, ways to prevent attacks and even about Bethany Hamilton’s horrific story!

I think Rob Stewart decided to make a documentary because we need to preserve and protect sharks. They are very important for the ecosystem, especially in the oceans but also for humans. He also wanted to show us the shark finning that is being done in certain countries and to end this type of activity.

The second attack is on a small boy in the sea at a crowded beach on

Ocean’s Eleven is an American heist film (first of the trilogy) and a remake of the 1960 version which features an ensemble cast of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts. For the most part there are three elements to a heist film: Assembling the crew and setting up the scheme, the break in and looting, and then the escape. Ocean’s Eleven covers all of those elements plus more. The plot of the film wasn’t just about robbing the casinos for money for the most part.
