The use of serious music in a comedy film is to highlight the "seriousness" of someone being the butt of a joke..meaning, when you're the butt of a joke, it's not funny for you, but funny for everyone else. Many American comedies have used serious music to highlight subtle humor in irony, paradox, and counterpoint. I thought the music for Sharks was extremely cleverly done, to heighten suspense for that scene. Most composers use a Jaws like theme to do this, but ARR thought more creatively and added this unique music....just brilliant IMO.
