CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Quint (Robert Shaw) reveals to Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and Brody (Roy Scheider) the chilling shark-infested nightmare of his past.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on Peter Benchley's best-selling novel, Steven Spielberg's 1975 shark saga set the standard for the New Hollywood popcorn blockbuster while frightening millions of moviegoers out of the water. One early summer night on fictional Atlantic resort Amity Island, Chrissie decides to take a moonlight skinny dip while her friends party on the beach. Yanked suddenly below the ocean surface, she never returns. When pieces of her wash ashore, Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) suspects the worst, but Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton), mindful of the lucrative tourist trade and the approaching July 4th holiday, refuses to put the island on a business-killing shark alert. After the shark dines on a few more victims, the Mayor orders the local fishermen to catch the culprit. Satisfied with the shark they find, the greedy Mayor reopens the beaches, despite the warning from visiting ichthyologist Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) that the attacks were probably caused by a far more formidable Great White. One more fatality later, Brody and Hooper join forces with flinty old salt Quint (Robert Shaw), the only local fisherman willing to take on a Great White--especially since the price is right. The three ride off on Quint's boat "The Orca," soon coming face to teeth with the enemy.

CharlieMurphy5O This monologue is amazing, but IMHO it's not half as incredible as the following: 1. James Stewart as Senator Jefferson Smith in 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.' Check out the incredible 'filibuster' speech he delivers; it will knock your socks off! 2. Henry Fonda as Tom Joad in 'The Grapes of Wrath.' Check out the final scene where Fonda as Joad delivers his stunning "speech" to Ma Joad. It will move you to tears. 3. Zelda Rubinstein as psychic Tangina in 'Poltergeist.' Check out the scene where Rubinstein as Tangina explains to the grief stricken parents where their missing daughter is, how she got there and-most chilling of all- exactly WHO is keeping her a captive. It will chill you to the bone.

Did Marlon Brando and Robert Shaw ever appear on the screen in the same scene? That would be amazing. I would bet they would probably hate each other and Shaw would try to upstage Brando, like Steve McQueen did with Yul Brenner in "The Magnificanr Seven". But all four were professionals when "Action!" was called.

@Sound Logic Spielberg learned this even while he was shooting. The mechanical shark never worked right, so Spielberg decided a completely different approach. He never let the audience see the shark, but only implied its presence. Spielberg said, "The LESS you see, the MORE you get. I had to be more like Alfred Hitchcock, less like Ray Harryhausen." Interestingly, Harryhausen could have done an excellent job with a fake shark, but it wouldn't be nearly as frightening.

Jaws is a brilliant film. It's more than just a killer shark movie, it's a study in brilliant film making, brilliant acting, brilliant tension building, and a brilliant score.

This movie was lightning in a bottle. It’s insane how much the producers believed in it, and how perfect Spielberg was for it at that specific point in his career, and how well everyone worked together to do it in spite of everything. Nobody would believe in it now with the obstacles production and filming were facing, much less any producer. I absolutely do not believe this movie could be made today and be as authentic as the original is. Like, they shot the thing on the ocean. Bruce was practical effects. These days this would’ve shot in a pool and the shark would be CGI. Disgusting. Lightning in a bottle, man.

Amazing recounting of it from your perspective. I was 10 when I saw this movie. We lived close to the Atlantic oceanfront in Virginia Beach. Nothing affected me as much as Jaws did (up to that point in my life). Going into the water at the beach was never scarier and sharks became undersea Satans I expected every time I got in two feet of water. Quint must have never wanted to quit finding revenge for his lost comrades.

@@adamp7958 Someone giving a monologue doesn't count as "telling" in writing terms. "Telling" is things like narration or text or characters calling other characters "sister" or "father" to convey information to the audience in a ham-fisted way. This monologue came off natural and flowed cohesively from the banter that preceded it. "Telling" would be Quint saying to the men, "I hunt sharks because I had a traumatic experience with sharks back when I was in the war". This is showing Quint demonstrating that. The script demonstrated rather than explicated. The audience infers that he hunts sharks because of that experience rather than the audience being told that outright. So the rules of "show, don't tell" were not broken here.

@joey7371 3 года назад

Interesting, but I'd say maybe he's 'showing' the effect the experience has had on him by his story and gestures. He's telling but not in a direct way, he's showing them what happened but not telling them the effect on him, like he could keep saying stuff like 'I'm upset by this' or 'now I hate sharks' but that's not necessary. During the story he doesn't ruin the talk it's a cold retelling of what happened.

Back in those days during WWII, the US Navy didn't have very good protocols on how sailors should handle shark attacks. They were told to just kick and yell at them as soon as they got near, but it turned out that was exactly the wrong thing to do as it made the sailors seem like prey to the sharks. They later learned that moving as little as possible was the better course of action, and made sure they had shark repellent.

@nicknewman7848 2 года назад

This was the beginning of his truly great period.. he rewrote the language of film music for the next quarter century and beyond with his work in the mid to late 70's. If it wasn't for his success in rebooting the old fashioned "romantic" school of film scoring with orchestra in Star Wars, film soundtracks as we know them would have evolved on a completely different trajectory. Most influential of the last 50 years by a mile.

No other actor could have portrayed "Quint" the way Robert Shaw did. His “USS Indianapolis monologue” is one of the most memorable scenes of the film.

@TheRealGnolti 2 года назад

Sterling Hayden was originally cast for the part, and I've wondered how he could have done Quint. Hayden was a great actor, but he didn't have Shaw's theatrical background, for what that's worth. That being said: Hayden was a highly experienced sailor, and might have brought authenticity to the second half of the film. We will never know. I love Shaw's Quint.

Only one other actor comes to mind that has that intimidating look, toughness, and gruff pattern of speech that could pull off a character like Quint at that time: Oliver Reed.

Not entirely. They could do an "Indianapolis" movie realistically, in the same vein as "Dunkirk" or "The Darkest Hour". Spielberg would have added his unique touches, including the shooting star and the horror elements of the sharks. Give him an original John Williams score, and it would become another classic.

Carl Gottlieb was the lead screenwriter. According to him, there were TEN versions of the monologue, and Milius' was just one. Milius was not on set. He was 4 hours away on the west coast. The scene was shot at 9:30 a.m. local time. Milius claim to have written it at the last minute is BS according to Gottlieb. Carl said that they gave all 10 versions to Shaw. Two days before the shoot, Shaw said "I think I have this monologue liked...." and he read his edited, final version to Spielberg and crew at dinner. Spielberg instantly said..."that is what we are shooting". According to Gottlieb, Shaw himself deserves most of the credit. Many people do not know that at that point, Shaw had 5 novels published, and won a Pulitzer prize as a playwriter! He was probably the best writer they had....

@BuckyJoe00 3 года назад

I remember when I was little I’d always fast forward this part on my old VCR because it was slow and boring, and I just wanted to watch where they’d battle the shark. Now as an adult, I look at this scene with new eyes, as not only my favorite scene in the movie, but one of the best speeches in cinema history. Absolutely incredible performance!

@darrenwalters9886 2 года назад

Yeah, it's very much true that if you return to your old favorites, whatever it was that appealed to you while young tends to look vastly different later on. But Jaws is an extreme exercise in disciplined filmmaking; where excesses could have been made but are almost always curtailed in the service of heightened mood, atmosphere. (to my thinking, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers fits the category of extravagance, rivaled only by Moulin Rouge). Whatever neat tricks were pulled before, the film shifts gears and suddenly goes: "Okay, now we're going to go back to the old ways, and just present a straight up ghost story, one slow tracking shot. Except, this one really happened, and happened to quite a few people. This gives Jaws a gravitas and authority it might otherwise not have, and is extremely effective.

@thefrontpage Год назад

It's unlikely it was just "one take," as there are different camera, sound and lighting angles and shots. To do this, there has to be several takes. Maybe one version was shot in one take, but you have to do any scene like this in multiple takes to get the right angles, shots, sound, lighting and blocking. Yes, I'm a film actor.

@andrewpolasek5524 Год назад

Most times being drunk on set is not going to work. But in this case the slurred speech only adds to the authenticity of the character.

@thefrontpage Год назад

For the record, he was NOT drunk for the shots used for the monologue in the film, according to numerous accounts from Spielberg, Dreyfuss, Schneider and many others. Shaw was NOT "drunk." Second, of course the scene was NOT "done in one take." Spielberg shot at least four takes, according to Spielberg. Also, RARELY is ANY scene in any movie shot "in one take." For various angles and shots for the same scene, for every single differing angle and shot, the cameras, sound equipment, lighting and often even the set and props have to be literally re-set----and that means stopping the cameras and then shooting numerous takes. Rarely, if ever, is any scene shot "in one take." For this scene, this was done in at least four or five takes.

@ManubibiWalsh Год назад

Yeah, that’s a legend alright. He was drunk the first time they tried getting this scene, was so drunk he couldn’t do it, so he came back the next day and nailed. But he sure did inject some boozed up, slurry cadence in his monologue so yeah, it makes sense he sounded a little bit drunk since the guys had been drinking the whole scene. Perfect delivery for sure.
