The short film assigned for this week’s blog and in class discussion was honestly quite confusing at first but the word I would use to describe the film is eerie and/or haunting. I think that this film shines light on the idea that the human population truly does not know what lies in the depths of the ocean. The idea that there could be something possibly there in the water with you and you not knowing is something that frightens many individuals, I included at times, and I think that the film only displaying murky unclear water emphasizes this fear. As well, aids in enhancing the fear that many individuals can have about the ocean because our senses are being stripped away when being under the water, when out in the open ocean an individual can neither touch, smell, taste, anything and the only sense available is sight but even then it is affected by the salt water. So the only sense present under the water is hearing, which honestly is the worst of all because the idea of being in the middle of the ocean and randomly hearing sounds like in the video would send chills down anyone’s spine. I think this aids in answering the idea and question as to which scientists are not exploring the deep ocean and why we do not know as much about the ocean compared to everything else we know about this planet and even space. It’s the idea and fear of the unknown, the idea that you are going into “new territory” and not knowing what is there. I think this video displays that humans will truly never understand the complexity that is of the ocean whether that is because they choose not to because they physically cannot or whether fear is hindering them, but I find it amusing because humans are so “territorial” and want to claim everything so that makes me wonder why they choose not to explore the ocean. Or even question if maybe there is something in the water that they do not want to discover out of fear because after all NASA’s original purpose was to discover the ocean, so it make me wonder if maybe there is something hiding in the deep murky water.
