Has anyone seen this movie? Did it strike you as "fishean?" One of the scenes that stuck in my mind is when toward the end they are in the underwater capsule, looking for the jaguar shark, who really appears and is stunningly beautiful. And Anjelika Huston, Murray's wife, who is fed up with him, says dreamily, "Oh Steve, it's beautiful..." Murray, flanked by his estranged wife, and the girl he is attracted to who doesn't want him, is showing them all the magical underwater world he has given his life to, and which has taken his friend, and for a moment, he mesmerizes them with his vision suddenly to be seen by all, in the flesh. To me this seemed like a beautiful manifestation of the piscean inner world.... I'm getting carriend away here, but that's how I felt. I felt it so much that it increased my appreciation for my husband, who is really a very terrific person, and who just has the bad luck of getting on my nerves now and then for other piscean things he does.
