The title


I'm not quite sure I get the title. Any thoughts?


Wow, this film would make a great study in a film class.

Just thinking the same thing.

No clue.

If you're referring to "caught inside", it's a surfing term we use when you get caught in front of a set of breaking waves... It's something you try to avoid ;)

For eg. Waves aren't always constantly coming through, You have sets (a few bigger waves one straight after the other) and lulls (a few minutes of calm, or smaller waves)... You try to time your paddling out the back so that you're paddling out during a lull, rather than when the sets are coming through... You want to be out the back when a set comes so that you can pick the best wave of a set and catch it, rather than have to try and duck dive/paddle through them. When you're paddling out and you're caught in front of (or in) the impact zone, that's getting "caught inside".

And I suppose it's also a bit of a play on words too... When they're kind of caught inside the boat with Bull - I guess he might have been caught inside himself as well ;)

Yep, what iFX-64 said. I wondered about it too, I thought it was a pretty stupid title like it meant 'caught inside the boat' or something, until my tiny brain deduced it was probably a surfing term and I looked it up.

I had a brain scan once, but it didn't reveal anything.

Thanks for the explanation, iFX-64. Now I can recommend it to friends and dazzle them with my knowledge of surfing terminology! ; )

Reminds me of another title: In the Bedroom. (Great movie, albeit a downer, with Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson.) Except that in it, the title was explained, as a lobster-trapping term.

Nothing showed up on the last CT scan of my brain, either.
