The Old Man And The Sea part 2

I can't even count how many things I've learned in the 20 minutes of this film; from the old man, from the boy, and the fish, and the sharks, and nature and fate and life...

I think the sharks represent the critics who gave extremely negative reviews on Across the River and Into the Trees. I think that the lions symbolize the old critics who gave extremely positive thoughts on For Whom the Bell Tolls.

This can't be real. I must have fallen asleep and I'm dreaming the most beautiful dream. It's too good to be true. I'm not really watching this, am I?

The fish may well symbolise him. The sharks are to show that man doesn't stand over nature, but nature stands over man.

BEAUTIFUL

ohh i would like to know who did the soundtrack??? :)

@Sinny1992 i did
and i also did you're mom faggot

That's a cool analogy. What do the sharks represent then? Sin? Satan?

@Halation2 Satan would make sense.

I thought it was about man's role in the universe, his suffering (84 days without a fish), his opportunity to prove himself (the fish), and those destructive forces in life that are out to stop him, weaken him, slow him down (the sharks). It's a melancholy message that the novel sends, but a beautiful one. Life is a somber journey.
