Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Under Paris is one of the most outlandish and successful shark movies since Jaws, yet while its environmentally-tinged story marks it as an outlier in the genre, other details from the film reveal it has some surprising connections to older projects.
Although the shortfin mako has been known to attack humans, it has never done so with the ferocity or intent seen in Under Paris – another area where the film deviates from reality. The fact that Lilith is based on real sharks is interesting, particularly given the movie's general willingness to bend facts to suit the narrative. What's more intriguing, however, is that her being a shortfin mako creates a connection to another classic shark movie.
Throughout shark movie history, the most prominent species to figure in an antagonistic capacity has been the great white – and with good reason. Lilith's situation means that, despite the sci-fi quality to her story, her evolution is at least somewhat organic. This makes her a more effective representation of the impact of climate change. In Deep Blue Sea, however, the sharks are an entirely man-made problem. Each of them is a result of Frankenstein-like experimentation, as opposed to a more natural evolutionary process.
