The actual meaning of the Johannes Roberts’s 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is building up the relation between two stepsisters. At the movie’s beginning, they are shown as two poles of a magnet who never attract each other. Mia was bullied by other girls and thrown in the poll, but Sasha didn’t protest her. In the end, the same kind of situation was raised but from the opposite direction. Sasha got into danger in the ocean, and Mia got a choice to save her or not. But she saved Sasha by taking the risk of her own life.

Another essential signifier appears at the movie’s end: “bully is as dangerous as the white shark in the water.” The opening poll scene and the ending rescue scene equalize them. As a shark can takes our lives, a bully can kill us (and our children) too.
