You know that it’s truly terrifying when Quint realizes they’ve bitten off more than they can chew the whole time the sharks pulling them and then Quints look when the shark surfaces then goes under the water with the barrels is a look that says I’m in disbelief
One of the things I really like is how at first Quint treated Brody and Hooper like fun little pastimes while he waited for Bruce to show up, but over time he really comes to rely on them and view them as useful. He never could have pulled some of his tricks off without them there. If this had been a success and all three of them had made it out, I wouldn’t be surprised if Quint would even contemplate bringing them back every once in a while as deckhands. He’d never outright ask, of course, but I don’t think he’d object if one of them asked (not that Brody ever would lol).
I think it was that Bruce humbled Quint. "Mr. Hooper, what can you do with these things of yours?" Quint was out of tricks and he realized his arrogance had cost them dearly. (smashing the radio, blowing out the engine, thinking his little boat could compete with a 25 foot great white shark)
He was stuck in his old ways from another era. Until he got to face the harsh truth : things evolve. Sharks too. He assumed it would be another of those hunts, singing on the way home with some nice trophy hooked on the line, and was too stubborn to admit it was no ordinary hunt. Until reality hit, and hit hard, down to his pride, forcing him to rely on a police chief who got his feet wet (no pun intended) and a sea life expert's new, modern technology. In the end, he paid this stubbornness with his life and almost made 2 more victims.
@@Grandmaster_Dragonborn a mix of both, I would say. But apart from his past, Quint looked and sounded exactly like the typical, stubborn old man who refuses change, even when his ways don't work anymore.
FOR 1975 shark looks great, only problem with shark is that he swim only straight forward (in reality shark swim zig-zag)... Also this shark is litle fatter and slower than normal shark...
The fact that it roared at 1:16 shows that this isn't just a great white shark. It resembles one, but it is actually a monstrous freak of nature that evolution forgot. Truly terrifying.
The realization of the shark playing with them saying I can get loose if I want. And the barrels popping right back up as if he's saying care to try again? Phenomenal film.
Man that shark has got to be insanely strong to pull a boat backwards like that and I know from watching Shark Week that real Great White Sharks are known to be very strong for a shark they're size and very intelligent too and cunning and fast.
When Jaws debuted in theaters in the Summer of 1975 people stayed out of the water. They'd go to the beach, but would not go.swimming. They'd go out on their boats, and even raft up. But no one wanted to go in the water... Jaws really did have that much of a psychological impact on people...
I was going into the 4th grade that summer of ‘75. Yup Jaws was truly a cultural phenomenon. People who weren’t born yet will never fully understand the visceral impact that movie had on the world. I’ll never forget it.
Something I've always loved about Jaws is the subtle way they indicate us the true strength of the shark, by having him overpower and drag away a boat named "Orca" (which are the only animals capable of killing great whites) So esentially, Bruce, a freak of nature, has gone past the limits of a real great white by overpowering an "Orca"
I saw this movie in 1975 at cinema it was the must see movie of the year . I was 10 years old at the time it was scary, exciting and gripping all in one , excellent movie surpurb cast and still a epic even today 😊
And it would've followed, if not kept them from returning. I don't think they could just return to shore knowing it would be back and wreck more havoc. This was a one way flight. You can tell in the second one that Brody didn't come back completely.
I've listened to a lot of John Williams' pre-Jaws soundtracks and I'm not sure why he amped up the quality of his music quite as much as he did with this movie. This is the soundtrack where his work became more complex, enjoyable and all around more traditionally classical sounding. It must have something to do with the chemistry with Spielberg and the fact that he liked the material at hand. Or perhaps he had just started to be influenced by certain works of other composers.
When I saw this as a kid I didn't know what "taxidermy" was. So I thought Quint was looking forward to boast the huge dead shark to the local taxi drivers.
just brilliantly filmed...the ORCA being dragged by Bruce...the barrels seemingly sinking & then bobbing up...the camera work is breathtaking...this is a goto piece for learning the craft of making films...👌
Ffs cuts off right at the point we all need to see. The moment that it becomes real for Quint. He's in over his head and he knows it finally. Bruce has got the legs of them all and he's fresh out of ideas now.
[ Quint ] The shark can't go underwater with three barrels on him, not with three he can't. [ The Shark ] Oh yeah! I just nearly pulled your boat underwater. And I can't pull three barrels underwater easily? Think again Quint.
I think that's something special on jaws movies, the shark does'nt realy feel like an animal, it is rather a monster, something unnatural and fierce on the ocean.
1:37 "untie this, he'll pull out t he transom"!! That's why you always see AN AXE on a fish boat!!! AND a sailboat: if you need to cut a line to save the mast, grab THE AXE!!
Apart from the fact it’s a movie? Lol. I guess being so large he’d have to be strong. Being he’s a wild animal who can only survive tracking down other wild animals and killing them, he has to be tough.
I have seen this film so many times and just watching this I noticed that Quint aimes from the shoulder but the next shot he shoots the shark from the hip like Tony Montana.

Hello cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ mến chào bạn hiền thanks you OK
A couple of subtitle corrections: "Figure eight around the cleat" not "Bring your end around the cleat." That's why he then says "That's right, it'll lock itself off." Also at 1:40 it's "Gonna give us a ride!" not "We better get another line!"
Devi Padmavathi is my father. Yes it is true. I have born by her blessing. For example I am like Karna ( in the "Mahabhartha") who was born by the blessing of Lord Surya. If you want any proof please come at Guma Manasa Bare ( very famous temple of my father) in West Bengal and ask here. Here my father comes every Sunday. I not only want that people knows my truth but also I want that everybody knows my father's power and nobility. Belief or unbelief is your matter. Don't write nor think any hate speech about my father and serve her. My father blesses you.. Thank you very much..
Bom dia meu amigo é um peixe muito grande é um monstro gostei de ver quem me inscrevi no seu canal sou brasileiro também sou um pescador tenho o meu canal que Deus abençoe a sua pescaria tamo junto
If Quint had at least 1 grenade on his boat, he would've thrown it into the shark's mouth, and it would blow it's head off. If it had 6 barrels on him, he certainly wouldn't stay under.
My theory? In the book, Chief Brody's wife has an affair with Cooper. She has a thing about not being an "islander", which is hinted at in the scene that leads to Alex Kintner's death. Brody somehow figures it out; smacks his wife around, and presumably Bruce is Cooper's karma. I think the film is much better without some of the book's side-stories.
Classic movie! but the later sequels constantly get abuse for the roaring shark. He sorta roars hear, and did a lot more in the VHS version. They took a lot of it out by the time it hit dvd
Jaws was the first Hollywood movie to be called a blockbuster, setting a record for ticket sales. The second movie was one of the worst movies I ever saw, glad it was on a cassette at a friends. That's when Hollywood wanted to make more blockbusters, generic movies, and we can see where that took us, now watching old comic books coming to life on the screen.
@@lordsidious83: Okay, between seeing Jaws at a theater and then seeing Jaws2 at the drive-in, or on cassette at someones' house, and knowing a 3 and maybe a 4 is out there, that I saw bits and pieces of as promo, I could be confused. The sequel I'm referencing had a theme park where huge tubing let visitors walk through holding tanks with big sharks. The sharks were horrible. It was a scream-fest, what was hot for American horror movies at the time. But then, I really like "Waterworld" where no sharks were involved.
Hey did you see a dark haired guy run by here? Dark haired guy run by here Chief. Dark haired guy go into the water shark in the water.
