LETTERS, Page 9Faking Quotes
Your film critic failed to appreciate the underwater setting
of The Abyss (CINEMA, Aug. 14). The depth alone is menacing. Anyone
who has ever scuba-dived over the edge of a coral reef and hovered
at 100 ft. unattached to any terra firma has looked down into the
utter darkness of a mile or more between himself and the ocean
floor. Realizing the limitations of even the most modern diving
equipment and one's physical vulnerability to that environment, a
diver has no trouble appreciating the terror of being dragged
toward the edge of such an abyss.
