I think we all have something to learn from the Swedes being attacked by sharks, the public wanting to help them at first, but then very quickly dragging them out of sight to die so we can play volleyball...
a few things: 1) leonardo dicaprio fights a cgi shark to the death 2) tilda swinton is hot 3) theres one scene where danny boyle said fuck it and decided to have a video game scene involving leo running around a jungle fighting more cgi animals
