47 Meters Down (2017)
Incorrect Name - Producers don't know anything
I just cannot believe that the producers of this movie didn't do their research or homework. 47 meters is just over 150 feet. If they were knowledgeable they would be aware
that a recreational scuba diver, which these girls obviously were, has a depth limitation of 130 feet. The appx. Time limit for a recreational diver to remain at 130 feet is 10 minutes or less. I repeat TEN MINUTES. It is impossible for those girls to spent the time shown in the movie at that depth. Also, since no two divers are the same, Nitrogen Narcosis would start to set in which would IMPARE the diver as if being DRUNK and leading to unconscious and death. The producers should have come up with a better name for this movie because even at 3 meters or around 10 feet these girls could NOT spend that much time underwater..... TERRIBLE OVERSIGHT.....
In a Child's Name (1991)
Great movie - I saw it made.
I was at some of the filming of this movie (in Wilmington, NC)and it was great. I was also involved in the investigation of this crime.
People always want to know if the book (made first) and the movie are as what actually happened. My answer is that both are Very Close to the actual facts in the matter.
There are some minor differences between the book and the movie but nothing of any value that would drastically change anything. If you have seen the movie - get the book and read it. The book has some of the trial of Dr. Taylor and the movie covers almost nothing of the trial. A forensic pathologist (Doctor)testified at the trial - and the same Dr. testified in OJ's trial.
Questions? Let me know. Bob
