  I haven't seen it yet, will wait for DVD, but a SCUBA-instructor friend saw it last weekend. Although the dialog and acting were lame, he said that the diving aspects were technically spot on.
  
  Trapped in a cave, underwater? No thanks!

    Yes it was shot here in Aust-- seen some scenes /trailer /etc- looks very James Cameron
    influenced -myself as a MSDT and dived a few Caves --the Cenote black hole for instance in Mexico, I'd probably not enjoy the "Hollywoods" and spend my viewing either picking holes in it or guffawing.
    
    But I could be entertained with an open mind-we'll see

    but say no to cave diving.

    Been stuck temporarily in tight passages (one of them corkscrew shaped and vertical). In some places if you happened to die then it would be near impossible to remove the body (also blocking the escape rout of anybody behind you). If you become incapacitated then you could die because it requires body strength to get through (you can't be pulled through sometimes). Just thinking about the possibilities of worst case scenarios gives me the creeps .

    Getting scared out by a movie is nothing.

    • I certainly understand that... however my post was not about claustrophobia... - Victor Khomenko 13:15:32 02/10/11 (5)

      No problem with moving the thread in new direction, but my question had to do more with psychology, bare bone one, as in two people suddenly discovering new things in each other...
      
      In reality, films like My Dinner with Andre are probably closer to my question than some others mentioned here... you have wide open space and people around the participants, but the whole thing happens just between the two of them, the rest of the world is just a backdrop, the two people are totally separated from it.

        for the fact of its familiarity at this point? Hopkins discovering something of himself when Emma shows up. That struggle where they seem to come very close to love but ultimately each chooses the familiar way only to see it was at the cost of the deeper, richer life seems pretty psychologically intimate.

          There is that definite separation of main figures from the background.

          I realize my post was not clearly written.
          
          You must relate strongly to films like Touching the Void?

            I'm fairly inexperienced at movies. Netflix is giving me a chance to catch up on some of them.

  ...and her husband/boyfriend looking for her for years, only to find a clue, find the murderer, and suffer her fate. The 2nd is the American remake that, IIRC, was pretty good.
  
  We don't spend much time spent in the box, but it sure gave me the goosebumps.
  
  Titles anyone? A search on IMDB didn't help.
