I can see why it's the favourite film of many!
I'd heard so many little things about this film, quotes or little parts that other films like "The Master Of Disguise" (2002) had referenced.
I'm SO glad I finally got to see this. It has great cinematography too!
Plus, there's some real great tension built before the shark is revealed, which is just topped off with the terrifying thought that a Great White Shark could be circling the boat at any moment.
I hope you enjoy my reaction!

The studio wasn't sure how this movie would do so it released it during a slow time...the summer. Back in the day, most movies were released in the fall when people were back from their holiday travels. What happened is that JAWS started a new tradition, i.e. the summer blockbuster.

@lyndoncmp5751 16 дней назад

That was only initially. However, after the first test screenings in April 1975 the studio was certain it would be a huge hit so that's why they decided to release it widely in June and spent a lot of money on the advertising campaign. They knew they had a hit.

@rustincohle2135 17 дней назад

9:44 What the _"24 hours is like 3 weeks"_ statement actually means is that for every 24 hours in which summer tourists can't go to the beach will result in a loss of 3 weeks income for the small business owners of Amity Island. Remember as the mayor said, Amity is a summer town in which all the residents' livelihoods depend almost entirely on the summer tourism, much like Cape Cod, Massachusetts or Cape May, New Jersey. It wasn't meant to be an exaggeration of how long a day without the beach feels. And it's a summer holiday to boot. Closing on or around July 4th, up north in a beach town? You can't make up that kind of money.

This movie holds up surprisingly well despite being approximately 50 years old. I believe this is because of the stellar acting, the great cinematography, the slow build-up of suspense and menace, the believable dialogue, the moments of levity, and the fact that the shark becomes this seemingly intelligent, clever, and malicious villain that is relentless and feels unstoppable.... well, until that grand finale where it is finally stopped. This isn't your average monster movie! RIP Quint, who delivers one of the most powerful monologues in film.

It occurs to me that Quint's SOUL was taken by sharks the night the USS Indianapolis went down, he just didnt know it. Since that day, he was a shell of a man: Quint never had kids, got a regular job. The man Quint COULD have been --- his hopes, dreams, skills, love, life, all he could ever be --- never came out of the water that night, June 1945. He might have been a carpenter, football coach, a church deacon, a grandfather, shanty singer. Just the opposite, Quint never left the water: he spent his life staring back at the ocean, returning to it, returning TO sharks, looking them in their dead eyes, trying to give his body back to the one shark that already bit his soul in half 3 decades ago

@leeneufeld4140 13 дней назад

@maryrichardson1318 17 дней назад

The main reason you don't see much of the shark is a technical one. Apparently, the animatronic shark ( named "Bruce" after Steven Spielberg's lawyer) kept breaking down during filming. It makes the movie SO much scarier not being able to see what's coming.

@HuntingViolets 16 дней назад

The few times we do see it, I wish we hadn't.

@lyndoncmp5751 16 дней назад

Well I'm afraid that's actually become an exaggerated myth. The mechanical shark was never scheduled to be used for the first half of the film. The shark was hidden by design early on. Spielberg was already very much a suspense director, as Duel and Something Evil showed. Besides, they could never have used Bruce in the shallow water where the beach scenes were filmed. It was a huge contraption with an enormous rig. It needed deeper water. The mechanical shark/s were only scheduled to be used in from July 1974 for the Orca based scenes when filming went out to sea. The beach attack scenes were all filmed in May and June before they even knew the shark would go wrong. It did go wrong all through July and August, so that is definitely true, and it wasn't until September that it finally worked. The first half of the film actually was filmed pretty much on schedule believe it or not. They were only a few days behind schedule when they went out to sea in July. This is all in The Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb and Memories From Martha's Vineyard by Matt Taylor. Unfortunately the documentaries, and skewed recollections by some folks, have exaggerated this myth. Just saying. Cheers.

Best monologue in film history. Spielberg Had the Indianapolis scene written by a couple of script writers but was unhappy with it.

“The 1916 Jersey Shore shark attacks inspired the book and movie Jaws, which were published in 1974 and 1975, respectively. The attacks occurred between July 1 and 12, 1916, during a heat wave and polio epidemic, and killed four people and critically injured one. The attacks drew national media attention, and a Barnum & Bailey lion tamer eventually put an end to the shark's reign of terror.”

The Yellow barrels are full of air which is supposed to keep the shark close to the surface and tire it out if it dives. If you get in a pool with a basketball or a football and try to dive you will see that it is basically impossible to stay submereged because the air in the ball will cause you to rise to the surface.

According to the book he was born in Amity, joined the police force as a patrolman and worked his way up to become police chief.

@user-mg5mv2tn8q 15 дней назад

Yes, the narrative of the novel goes somewhat differently than the movie. The chief was an Amity Island native, his wife came from a wealthy Boston family who basically disowned her and cut off all relations because she married a lowly small-town cop. The marriage was a good one, but she always had those thoughts about what-if and the-road-not-taken. When the shark killings began, Matt Hooper came to Amity to help, and by great coincidence he also turned out to come from the same wealthy area as Ellen, and was, in fact, the neighbor kid she used to babysit, and who always had an intense crush on her. Literary Matt Hooper wasn't movie Matt Hooper at all, not short, lovably scruffy Richard Dreyfus, but more of a tall, buff, blond surfer-boy type. A Ken doll, a Chad, as it were. And, of course, he was also a reminder of the wealth and privilege of Ellen's youth, which had had to give up. He and Ellen had a secret tryst at the local no-tell motel, which was his childhood dream come true, but which plunged her into a morass of guilt feelings. After that Martin Brody, Hooper, and Quint went out to sea to hunt the shark. When Hooper went down in the water in his shark cage, the shark forced its way in, spreading the steel bars apart with its nose and then crushing Hooper against the opposite side of the cage, killing him. In the book this is presented as almost a divine punishment for Hooper's betrayal of Martin Brody, who never did learn of what he did. I read the book sometime before I ever saw the movie, in an illustrated Reader's Digest collection, and there was an excellent picture of Hooper being crushed by the shark. I did appreciate the way Spielberg streamlined the story by eliminating the sex affair entirely (and having the Brodys be transplants from New York as a way of explaining Roy Scheider's New Jersey accent, as most people in the audience probably can't tell the difference), and I also liked Richard Dreyfus' performance. And yet I still couldn't help feeling just a little bit disappointed that Hooper survived the movie.

@AlunThomas-mp5qo 14 дней назад

@@user-mg5mv2tn8q You have omitted the part that Quint took an intense dislike to Hooper, dismissing him as a girly wuss and gave him hell. I think that Brody knew that Hooper had banged his wife as he tried to force him to admit it as he knew that Hooper had not spent the night with Daisy Wicker.

Originally the shark was going to have more on camera time but the animatronic shark (Bruce, named after Spielbergs lawyer) would not work most the time. So Spielberg improvised and wrote scenes without it. I think it did escalate the tension and greatly improved the film. Spielberg is a genius even when things aren't going right.

One of the kids in the 'he made me do it' fake shark fin part is now chief of police on Martha's Vineyard, effectively becoming 'Brody'.

There is no doubt about it - the Movie Gods were with this film. Yes, it was a pain in the ass to film no doubt about it, but it was still filmed at the right time. One of the reasons the movie still works nearly 50 years later - and Spielberg would concur - is that they used 1974 technology. Face it, maybe CGI would make the shark look more real etc. etc., but the fact is that because it was a mechanical shark, that mean to the audience the shark was actually there, and in some of the shots it does look phony (if only you saw it in 35 mm in it's original run you'd see it looked fairly convincing), you KNOW the shark was present with those actors. I just don't think CGI Technology would have worked as well. Okay, maybe it would still be an okay film, but I can assure you that the finished product would not stand the test of time like this one does - and will continue to do so. That out of the way, I just turned 15 when this film came out in 1975 and I saw it on opening day, first showing. To give you an idea of how the audience reacted, Brody says "Come out and chum some of this shit", the shark pops out of the water, and the scream and reverberation continues to the point where the most famous line of the movie was drowned out. I never knew the line was there until I saw it for maybe the 5th time, and the crowds had died down by then. But the experience of seeing this film has never been matched in terms of shear thrills and excitement. I can only hope before I go down the tunnel of light, maybe another film will come along that will cause the same reaction, but I seriously doubt it. But it's okay to hope.

I would recommend the movie Duel from 1971, also by Spielberg. Jaws is kind of a spiritual sequel to Duel about an average guy getting into conflict with a truck driver. I saw the film when I was very young and just like Jaws made people scared of the water, Duel made me terrified of semi trucks for many years. I think you would like it. Cheers.

Here's to swimmin' with bowlegged women, and a RU-vid Jaws party with marvelous Marty! I haven't seen this in so long and it's such fun watching it with you! I cracked up laughing when your head went bobbing across the screen early on, and your American accent & commentary as the tourists arrived was priceless. 'Oh darlin, we'll have such a lovely day at the beach. OH my GOD, where's my foot gone.' 😂 What a great film. I had forgotten just how good-looking it is, with SO many beautifully lit and composed shots. The score is iconic and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the most widely recognized movie theme in existence. I know you're a fan of Our Flag Means Death, so I thought you'd enjoy that the musical cue with ominous cello used sometimes for Blackbeard/Ed is likely a tribute to it, especially given that Ed is associated with shark imagery. (You can hear it at the beginning of s1e3, and at the end of the same episode when he makes his grand entrance and first meets Stede.) I share your enthusiasm for the famous contra zoom/dolly zoom shot! It really puts you *right there* with Brody, sharing his terror. The same technique is used in Severance to great effect. (I think you'll love it and I'm so excited it's on your list. Season 2 airs in 6 months, woohoo!) Thanks again for your reaction, Marty...and don't go in the water. 😮🦈

I used to be terrified of water, and that opening scene still makes me anxious. The reason we didn’t see more of the shark (named Bruce) was because it kept malfunctioning. As frustrating as that must’ve been for them, it made the movie better.

@lyndoncmp5751 16 дней назад

Well that's unfortunately become an exaggerated myth I'm afraid. The mechanical shark was never scheduled to be used for the first half of the film. The shark was hidden by design early on. Spielberg was already a suspense director, as Duel and Something Evil showed. They could never have used Bruce in the shallow water where the beach scenes were filmed anyway. The mechanical shark/s were only scheduled to be used from July 1974 for the Orca based scenes when filming went out to sea. The beach attack scenes were all filmed in May and June before they even knew the shark would go wrong. It did go wrong all through July and August so that is definitely true and it wasn't until September that it finally worked but the first half of Jaws actually was filmed pretty much on schedule. They were only a few days behind schedule when they went out to sea in July. That's when all the big problems began. This is all in The Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb and Memories From Martha's Vineyard by Matt Taylor. Unfortunately the documentaries, and skewed recollections by some folks, have exaggerated this myth. Just saying. Cheers.

This was a number one bestseller. I always meant to read it because my sister had a copy (when we lived at my mother's), but I never did. Benchley later felt his book played into false beliefs about sharks and worked for preservation of sharks and marine life. Shaw's son has said that he did not like Dreyfuss.

This is my favourite movie. It has wonderful character arcs, the best scare in movie history for me (the head in the hull of the boat), the best monologue (Quint on surviving hell on Earth after the Indianapolis sank) and the victims weren't just a body count (I felt so awful for Alex, and his mother grieving and finding out they knew about the shark). It's one of the few movies I have zero issues with.

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this movie. I've never seen any of the sequels, nor do I have any interest in doing so. In fact, I prefer to pretend that they don't exist. Maybe I'd feel differently if they had a better reputation, but I just think that Jaws is one of those movies that's perfect on its own and didn't need a part 2 or part 3 or 4. Don't go in the water.

@serenitytoepper 10 дней назад

Shark attacks on humans are rare, but there are some steps you can take to reduce your risk of being bitten: Avoid certain times Don't swim at dawn, dusk, or in the dark when sharks are most active. Also avoid swimming right after a storm. Avoid certain areas Stay close to shore and avoid murky water, deep channels, and waters with known discharges or sewage. Also avoid areas where people are fishing, especially if there are signs of baitfish or feeding activity, like diving seabirds. Avoid certain behaviors Don't swim if you're bleeding from an open wound or menstruating, as sharks can smell blood. Also avoid harassing or trying to touch sharks, and don't wear shiny jewelry or bright colors, as they can resemble fish scales or shark prey. Be aware Look for signs that a shark might be near, such as circling birds, splashing water, or feeding seals and dolphins. If you do see a shark, try to keep it in sight and slowly swim backwards towards shallow water. You can also use an electrical pulse device (ESD) to repel the shark.

In Jaws, the Mayor is not the villain. The villain is US..people I've noticed that people --- even highly educated and smart reactors --- seem to blame the mayor instead of blaming PEOPLE. When you think about it, the mayor is a SUPERB public servant: he KNOWS the people so well that he knows the will of the people who elected them BEFORE they even tell him. They voted for a man who makes decisions THEY want. You heard them in that town meeting: PEOPLE: "Are you going to close the beaches?" Brody speaking for the officials, INCLUDING the mayor.:" Yes. Yes. we are." PEOPLE: groaning. unhappy. shuffling "48 hours like THREE WEEKS" The villain isnt the shark - he's doing what sharks do (looking for food and eating it). The villain isnt the mayor - he's doing what mayor's do (the will of their constituents) The villain is the people - our own self interest ABOVE our fellow man. (think Covid) The villian is US. The mayor's villainy reflect OUR villainy. Most reactors and viewers cant see it, or dont want to.

If you want another film by Steven Spielberg that's Jaws like, may I recommend Duel (1971). Spielberg stated that if it wasn't for Duel, he never would have gotten the chance to direct Jaws. It's definitely worth checking out.

I saw this movie with my mother when I was 7 years old. We would go to the movies every weekend during the summer as we did not have air conditioning. We would pack a lunch and hit the Matinee , as it was cheaper, then spend the day going from room to room watching movies. It was a great time for us. I saw Pg and R rated movies I really had no business seeing, Like Excalibur, The Howling, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Greatest Little Whorehouse in Texas, Smokey and the Bandit. Name a movie from the mid to late 70s and I've probably seen it.

@ejtappan1802 17 дней назад

I have watched several reactions to this film and yours is my favorite by far... a brilliant mix of compassion, intelligence, and smartassery. **chef's kiss** I was 13 when this movie came out. My friends and I went to see it on opening night. The ticket line literally wrapped around the block. Hence, the term block-buster. I had read the book prior to seeing the film, so I thought I was prepared. LOL, no. The storyline is close enough to the book, but the film so much more visceral because of Spielberg's directing and Williams' score. And yes, this movie put them both on everyone's radar. My take on the Dreyfuss/Shaw situation is that Dreyfuss IS Hooper (arrogant but talented little jerk) and Shaw IS Quint (hard drinking, intelligent but generally belligerent). Oh, and the reason you haven't heard about the other Jaws movies is because they are all rubbish! So, don't go in the water.

The book has major differences from the movie. I remember the book is romance, sex novel. The boat goes out and come back in every night for weeks. Meanwhile, Hooper is schtupping Brody's wife in hotel rooms. Hooper dies during the cage scene. The movie is much better. I bought the book when I was 13 or 14, and my mom said, "Oh, that was such a great movie. I want to read that when you're done." The book was much more adult than I was expecting at that age. When my mom read the book, she took it and I never saw it again, and I had a very uncomfortable discussion with her. Don't go in the water.

I read the novel in the Spring of ‘75 when I was in the 8th grade. I don’t remember if I knew the movie’s release was imminent (my paperback was not a movie tie-in edition), but I loved the novel. My whole family went to see the movie on opening weekend… we lived in a smallish town and it was the first time I remember a movie opening all over the country on the same day… we usually had to wait four months or so before we could see the latest movies. So it was exciting that we got to see JAWS with the rest of the country! At the time I loved the book and movie fairly equally (basic plot was unchanged, but the characterizations-especially Matt Hooper-were radically changed). Subsequent re-reads made me realize that the movie was infinitely better than the book. The novel is a disposable piece of pulp fiction. The movie is (disguised) art!

The barrels Quint uses to bring the sharks up, and slow them are filled with trapped air. They are sealed beer kegs. If you want to see how effective these could be, fill a LARGE container with just air, and water tight seal it. THEN go into a pool, and try to pull it under the water and KEEP it under, then try to move it around without it pulling itself back up to the surface. IT IS EXTREMELY hard to do. The USS Indianapolis monologue is based on accurate, and true historical facts. There was a USS Indianapolis, it did deliver the Hiroshima bomb, and it was sunk by Japanese torpedos, and most of the crew either drowned, died from drinking sea water due to thirst, injuries, or shark attacks. Many WERE killed by sharks. Remember, "Don't Go in the Water!!!"
