How did Samuel L. Jackson's shocking and best scene in "Deep Blue Sea" come about? *Note! Contains spoilers.

A special role created for Samuel

Even though the offer was rejected, Coach Harlin did not give up. Normally, it would be common practice to flesh out the role by increasing the number of appearances and highlights. However, what Harlin adopted here was like a once-in-a-generation gamble.

"I've come up with a great idea! It's going to be an unpredictable and shocking scene!"

The new role he proposed was Russell Franklin, a millionaire and adventurer. Although he is a sponsor of the Maritime Research Institute, he himself is a fierce man with knowledge and experience who has overcome many hardships in life. Even if the crew is plunged into the depths of danger and fear, as long as he is there, he will give encouragement and lead them strongly.

Samuel was fascinated by this role and the biggest highlight, and readily agreed to appear. He later recalled, ``I've played a lot of roles, but this was my first time.''

It would be best if you could actually see it, but in the most important scenes, the creator feels as if he is ``cutting his own flesh, and in return stabs the audience in the heart.''

The scene where Samuel gives a big speech (*1) while everyone is in a pinch is so emotional that it makes anyone yawn, and to be honest, it's heart-wrenching. Many viewers will find the acting exaggerated and the direction a bit clumsy. we think with increasing irritation.

"Ah, it's so annoying! I wish you could get out of here quickly!"

Then, in the next moment, that wish came true so spectacularly that I was left gaping.

According to Renny Harlin, this scene always caused the loudest screams when the film was shown in theaters. For the audience, this scene not only shocks them, but also makes them feel as if their hearts have been completely seen through, and that they have been framed as the shark's accomplice. I guess you could say that.
