The Indianapolis monologue was based on true events
I live in Indianapolis and there's a beautiful monument dedicated in their honor.
@@joshuah9109 I'm not American but that's good to hear
It wasn't based on true events, it WAS a true event.
@@Lewis9700 so was the actor on the Indianapolis. Wow what a life. Fought in pacific,was on the Indianapolis and then went on to star in a Steven Spielberg movie😃
@@matthewcullen1298 Stop trying to be clever. It's not working
“You’re going to need a bigger boat.” Iconic line, and one that Roy Scheider ad-libbed too.
🤣
Watching Jaws today, the film has just as much impact as it did back in 1975. Why? Because, rather than relying on special effects, the film relies on characters, dialogue and atmosphere. The shark's presence is always felt, even though it is rarely seen. However, what you remember most from this film are the characters. The interaction on the boat between the three leads is cinema perfection. Anyways awesome reaction ShadowCat I hope u will react to more shark movies in the near future like Deep Blue Sea which is also a really fun movie. Have a nice day!
Like you said the vibe and atmosphere Spielberg creates is so great, the town feels real, the characters feel real. It’s just great.
This is classic filmmaking, meaning, they don't use the score to fake you out. The composer has created themes for different characters and the sharks theme is played only when the shark is around. Like when the kids faker out the beach - No Music - But as soon as the girl yells about a shark in the pond, that iconic theme begins to whisper in the background.
I'd never noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out.
John Williams !!!
Quint's entrance is the greatest character introduction in the history of cinema. Actually, Quint is one of the greatest fictional characters in the history of cinema. Robert Shaw was an absolute beast.
Also, the head popping out of the boat is one of my most cherished moving-going memories in my 50+ years of going to movies. I've never laughed harder than when the audience reacted to that epic jump scare.
I live in Rhode island, we have many towns like Amity. They certainly are beautiful and they do make most of their money in the summer through tourism. I can definitely see why closing the beaches was a problem, a problem that could still be relevant today. Cape cod is having this problem now. When they stopped killing seals in Canada the population of sharks in New England increased tremendously. For fifty years I've been standing in the water up to my waist at sunset surf fishing, now I'm not sure I should be. This movie, 48 years after seeing it for the first time still haunts me everytime I surf fish. I still surf fish but now I'm seeing shadows in the water all the time. I've run out of the water many times scared shit the last few years. Lol
My read on Quint wasn't that he was cocky or disrespectful of the danger...I think he lived with incredible guilt that he survived the Indianapolis story, so whether he knows it or not, he's reckless out of a desire to die. It's the only way in my head I can understand why he pushed his boat past the limits despite the warning and destroyed the engine right as they were winning, and why he destroyed the radio.
I think Quint devoted his post-war life to killing sharks, became very good at it and was proud of his reputation. So when Brody tried to call for assistance, Quint destroyed the radio because he didn't want anyone to think/know he needed help. Quint pushed the Orca to the breaking point after he realized that he was outmatched by this shark -- and he was scared for probably the first time since the Indianapolis.
He's Ahab. He dies pretty much like Ahab in the book.
@@laneneely1077 Yes that's it exactly, for anyone that's read the book.
Quint was obsessed with the shark because he saw so many people he cared about get killed by sharks in Indianapolis.
Seeing this in a movie theatre for the first time back in 1975 is an experience I'll never forget. Place packed to the rafters and everyone on the edge of their seats. And the finale is the most intense moments ever put on film. When he hits that tank the entire place erupted in cheers and applause. But something else interesting happened. The credits started to roll and everyone sat and when the screen finally went blank the audience applauded again. The film was that impactful.
I was at the drive in, and when the face popped out of the boat you could hear people everywhere screaming 😂
I adore engaging and well thought out reactions! Thanks so much!
Thanks Tracey! I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
What a brilliant reaction! Have subbed immediately as you are one of those rare and best reactors who actually watches the film and gets invested in the characters - as opposed to the majority who either chat shit constantly with the film as nothing more than background noise or (more infuriatingly) crack feeble jokes and quips at every second, try to be funny or deliver some comic monologue and fail dismally.
I look forward to more uploads from you x
Thanks RNW 🤗🤗
Parts of the film (and novel) were inspired by Herman Melville's classic "Moby Dick." Quint was the Captain Ahab role. He had an irrational score to settle with the great white shark as Ahab had with the great white whale, and both men paid the ultimate price for their hubris.
Plus, both stories imbued these animals with human like qualities, to make them better antagonists.
They intended to show the shark more but the it kept having mechanical problems so it was decided to only show the POV of the shark for parts of the film. It was a brilliant idea. Made more suspenseful scenes and John Williams music was perfect in helping build that suspense. Spielberg has recently said he believes the movie should’ve been rated R instead of PG which some reactors I’ve seen are surprised it is rated PG. You see the shark more in Jaws 2, a very worthy sequel.
Well not quite true. They only intended showing more shark in the second half of the film, but the first half went according to plan. The shark was hidden by design for the beach attack scenes. The first shark scene filmed was the pier/holiday roast scene, filmed in late May 1974. The mechanical sharks weren't scheduled to be used until July, and the problems didnt begin until June so when they filmed the pier scene in July the shark was kept hidden on purpose an at that point in the filming they didnt even know the mechanical shark/s were going to cause problems.

Here for the algorithm. This young lady has wonderful insights and deserves to blow up.
What a great film, this and Alien are IMHO the best examples of what a horror movie should be. In both movies the practical efffects were good but the story telling was what trips the horror circut in your brain. Its done by leaving alot of it to your imagination which is far better at scaring you than anything a CGI artist can come up with. Glad you enjoyed it Shadow!
yess the shark malfunctioning actually works to the film's benefit. It's perfect blend of suspense you don't need to see the shark to know it's there.
I love CGI, but you're right. For pure fear and horror, nothing beats practical effects.
I’ve seen this movie so many times, and that opening is still so unsettling and great! The actress did a great job!
17:09
Spielberg delivered one of the best jump scares in cinema history there.
My mum disgraced herself in the theatre when that head popped out of the hole in the boat.
🤣
Lmao!! It got me good 😫
@@shadowcatreacts that’s cool. We’ve all be gotten by this movie!
He said he got “greedy” and wanted one more scare scene, so he shot this in the swimming pool of the films editor. He got his “one more scream”!!
The opening scene with the party between the dunes on the beach always hits home for me. Just young people sitting around and drinking and having a good time. At that same time I was twelve my mom had a wild side so socializing and beach parties were a thing back then. After this film came out and I’d seen it, we couldn’t look at this scenery again and NOT think about a shark in the water. Very unsettling.
Interesting anecdote, Lee Fiero, who played the woman who slapped Brodie, was in Martha's Vinyard years later. She and her friend walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that they had an item called The Alex Kitner Sandwich. When Lee mentioned that she played Alex's mom, suddenly a man ran up to her from the back room. It was the owner - and he was the actor who played Alex. They had not seen each other since the film wrapped.
Susan Backlinie (Chrissie, the first victim) was hired because she had a lot of experience in the water and could control her breath. She had worked at Weeki Wachi Springs in Florida, which has an underwater show in which performers speak and sing underwater.
Thecharacter development, tension building and jump scares shows why Spielberg is the master of film
Yellow is used throughout the film as a warning. The first victim had a purse in yellow. As was the boy's inflatable and his mother's hat. The dog's owner wore a yellow shirt. Before falling in the water, the boat victim can be seen with yellow rope. At the meeting where Quint is introduced, the mayor has on a yellow coat. Hooper uses a yellow flashlight while examining the shark tooth. To signify (while not showing) the shark, we're shown the barrels in yellow. A re-watch can reveal several more examples.
Ooh very interesting! I'll look out for that on my next watch 😄
Love this movie. It’s a classic. The first scene you don’t see the shark or the blood and yet you know what’s happening to the girl. It’s full of suspense. Bruce (the mechanical shark) had lots of problems working in the salt water so it was used sparingly but it helped the movie as you didn’t see it much and it scared the crap out of me. Made me not like the ocean for a long time. I do go in the ocean now but not super far out. Quint had survived a horrible time in the ocean so he wanted revenge on sharks. It’s understandable. Good reaction!
This is such a good one. One of the best horror movies and one of the best blockbusters, it is still as effective as it was in 1975. I definitely think the best scene is Quint's monologue. It's a great use of the psychological horror of what you don't see. Not seeing the shark too much, and the great shark effect is so scary.
"Jaws" was the first summer blockbuster.
The young son (Sean) was played by actor Jay Mello who is now 55 . -- The scene at the dinner table wasn't scripted, but it was one of those moments that turned into movie gold..
In 1975, I was 10 years old. My older teenaged sister, took me to see JAWS. She had to cover my mouth, cause I was so horribly frighten out of my mind. For a whole year, I refused to take a bath, go swimming in a public pool, or a shallow wading pool in a lake. However, in 85, I joined the NAVY. GO FIGURE!!!
To make the shark appear bigger during the shark cage scene,which was shot in Australia if I remember correctly, a little person was used. When they lowered the cage in the water to set up for filming it was thrashed by actual sharks. Story goes the little guy ran and locked himself in a cabin.
The actress at the beginning was not acting. The scuba divers below her pulling her down pulled to hard and dislocated her leg. She was on horrible pain and nearly drowned. Those screams and calls for help were real but everyone on set thought she was acting.
My brother, 2 cousins and I went to the theater when this came out. I was 16. It was a phenomena. The line was around the block, making it the first real Blockbuster. It was a packed house; everyone was terrified. When Brody fired that last shot into the tank, the WHOLE AUDIENCE stood up and cheered! It was incredible
A year after Jaws came out i was at rehoboth beach and got on the same type raft the kid in the movie did. I could not swim nor could i see clearly 6 inches from my face. My glasses were on the beach. I got over the waves laid back and began to drift far offshore. When i heard the lifeguard's whistle i realized my peril. Slowly i paddled back and never did that again.🎉
7:34 I'm glad you included this shot in your edit. That is called a "dolly zoom," first used in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. It involves rolling the camera back at the same time you're zooming in on the subject, so that Sherrif Brody appears fixed in place while the background falls away from the camera. It always strikes me as one of the most interesting and emotionally effective choices that Spielberg makes in the film.
You reacted perfectly during all the right scenes, haha. My Dad saw Jaws in theatres in '75 he told me when the head pops out of the ship wreck half the audience fell out their seats. He said he felt a jolt go through the theatre. And some people walked out when Quinn was being munched in half by the shark, it was too much for them. Seems tame by today's standards.
If you haven't watched em, here's some other classics that aged like fine wine:
The Godfather (1972)
Singin' In The Rain (1952)
E.T. (1982)
Psycho (1960)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
saw in 1975- whole family went- I was 8... my mother kept putting her popcorn box in front of my face every time the music started... to this day- mom gets chills when she hears that music. And - yes, I never went in past my knees at the beach after this- I live in Virginia Beach.
Hello from Nashville.. Great reaction, elegantly done..
"Your gonna need a bigger boat" was improved in the moment
The first true blockbuster movie. Such a cornerstone of Spielberg's oeuvre.
I'm always glad to see reactions of this film. I was able to see it in the theater. Whew!! REALLY tough to watch in that venue.
Sharks and also killer whales (totally different species) are very found of LIVER. A lot of the time they kill something just to have the liver.
On the July 4th scene, the reporter on the beach is Peter Benchley. The author of the book, "Jaws"!!
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
I was about to enter 5th grade the summer this movie came out. No one was going into the water that summer! It amazes me that so much time has passed.
I live near Pensacola, FL and once again this year you can watch "Jaws On The Water" in June. Jaws 2 was actually filmed in this area. For the last several years they've set up a large drive-in size movie screen on the beach. People can rent an inner tube or float and watch the original Jaws while floating in the waters of Santa Rosa Sound in the early evening into dusk...you know...prime shark feeding time. I've never participated before because I figure if I do I'll immediately be eaten....that's just my luck....but many people do attend.
I use Jaws extensively in my film studies classes for units on narrative and visual storytelling.
In the “fake shark fin” scene. the kid who said “he made me do it” is Jonathan Searle; at the end of June 2023, became the Chief of Police of Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, right where Jaws was filmed.
The guy at 11:25 was Craig Kingsbury, he was the inspiration for Quint, he also had the mothers meet their fathers line, and played Ben Gardner. Shaw went to study him to learn his mannerisms to be a better quint
"If you're safe for a few hours, then we'll just give it a few more hours . . . " I like your way of dealing with corrupt politicians, although the shark will get heartburn. Spielberg has always been at the top when creating identifiable characters - almost too much. He has mellowed with age and experience and still does the same thing - but it isn't so 'on the nose'. I noticed the script plays tug of war with the story beats delaying the inevitable confrontation.
My fave movie of all time. I watch this 3 or 4 times a year
In the book she felt the tug, and did not realize what had happened. Until she felt the warmth of the blood. The shark being as big as it was, was playing with its food, in thrashing her around. This was filmed in Martha's Vineyard. Cheers.
Also, the scene when they are examining Ben Gardner’s beat up fishing boat, and Hooper pulls a shark tooth the size of a shot glass out of the hole in the hull -- just as Ben Gardner’s mutilated head suddenly appears -- is one of the greatest jump-scares of all time!
My grandmother had a copy of the novel lying around (not her usual reading material) and I read it. There's things in the novel that aren;t i the movie, like in the movie, the Mayor is in with the Mob, and they're leaning on him to keep the beaches on, which is why he's so fanatical about it.
Remarkably, Quint’s speech about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is a historical fact. It really happened! His vivid description of the tragedy that resulted is one of the most epic monologues in cinematic history, and is the key to his character and his obsession with killing sharks. He smashed the radio not only because he wanted to secure the bounty and reward for killing the Great White, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge - or perhaps personal redemption - for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by killing the man-eating shark himself.
One Of My Favorite Movies Of All Time. I Watch It Whenever I Can
Hi Shadowcat, loved your reaction. You made many insightful and reasoned comments and all without being over dramatic like some other streamers. You have a new follower - Subscribed! Love from England.
Fun Fact: The reason why they don't show the shark until the very end isn't just stylistic, but more so a happy accident because the mechanical shark (nicknamed Bruce) kept malfunctioning so they had to use camera tricks instead to simulate the shark being there.
Overexaggerated myth I'm afraid. In fact, Bruce was never scheduled to be used for any of the beach scenes. The shark was kept hidden by design. Spielberg was always a suspense director. Watch Duel and Something Evil, both from the early 1970s.
Far more of the shark WAS supposed to be seen for the ocean set scenes on the Orca, but not for the beach scenes. The beach scenes were filmed early on, late May to beginning of July 1974. Bruce was not scheduled to make it's debut on screen until mid July.
Not only was Bruce never scheduled to be used for the beach attack scenes, but the whole contraption needed deep water to hide the mechanics and the support arm etc. The water off State Beach and Harthaven was only 3 to 4ft deep.
This is all in The Jaws Log and Memories from Martha's Vineyard. Sadly the various documentaries confuse the issue and exaggerate things.
Cheers.
Still going on about that I see, when numerous actors, producers, and Spielberg himself have said Bruce kept malfunctioning, which led to massive script rewrites and even ad libbed lines.
@@lyndoncmp5751 It's been consistently reported by all parties that Bruce in fact was NOT functioning for many weeks at Martha's Vinyard, and was being constantly worked on in a small building (possibly the location for Quint's shack) and in fact set the production back so far that Universal was breathing down Steven's neck for months due to schedule overruns.
@@dan_hitchman007
Bruce kept malfunctioning FOR THE OCEAN SET SCENES filmed in July and August 1974.
Bruce was never scheduled to be used for the first half of the film.
@@ponyhorton4295
The beach attack scenes were filmed May to beginning of July 1974. Bruce wasn't scheduled to be used for them.
Here's Carl Gottlieb's The Jaws Log, page 159:
"The training period for the special effects (shark) was that May 15th to June 15th period, but the beast didn't even get wet until June 15th, two weeks away from it's scheduled debut on film"
So when they started filming the beach attack scenes in May with the pier scene without the shark, they didn't even KNOW that the shark would malfunction later on when it was due to be used and would not work. They assumed all would be fine.
They had a perfectly working fin contraption (used in the pond scene). This was just towed. If Spielberg wanted to show some of the shark during the Chrissie and Alex Kintner scenes he could have easily used the fin contraption and showed a fin, or part of it, either swimming past or disappearing. He didn't. He specifically chose to not show any of the shark during those scenes and the pier scene. He wanted the shark to remain hidden. Spielberg was always a Hitchcockian suspense type of director. Watch Duel and Something Evil. Two films he made before Jaws. In those films, Spielberg uses suspense and the hidden adversary. The first half of Jaws is like Duel and Something Evil. It's unfair to Spielberg to say the suspense in Jaws was due to a non working shark. Not so. Spielberg was already a director that heavily used suspense. That was his style.
At the end of the 70s, I was 9 or so on an inflatable raft off the coast of OC. Dad started frantically motioning for me to come in. Maybe he saw the film. The fin behind me turned out to be a dolphin. I spoke to one at Sea World, I'm told. (Kids can mimick all manner of things)
Spielberg rose so fast after this. He did a short story early in, then he did a minor success called Sugarland Express. Then he did a movie called Death Car. It was basically jaws, but a car! Then he did this and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and his legend was set. Quint is okd school Hollywood royalty. Also in Force 10 from Navarrone, a James Bond bad guy, The Sting, and others.
The book is inspired by the infamous shark attacks in NJ in the early 1900's. The author, Peter Benchley read about it and on his numerous trips from NYC to party with his rich friends in the Hamptons, thought it would be a good story to have a preditor shark stalk the Hampton beaches. The book sold so well that it almost instantly became a movie. They shot the movie mostly in Martha's Vineyard because Spielberg thought the Hampton's were to developed for a sleepy New England town setting he wanted for the movie. Though Amity is a fictional town, you have to drive through a town called Amityville Long Island to get to the Hampton's so it's logical to assume thats were Benchley got the name from. And Amityville is the same town that the "actual" Amityville Horror house is in. Which was based on a story about a teenager that murdered his family in the late 60's.
It's one of my My favorite movies of all time ❤
I can see why!!
Ha ha ha! There is just something about the way Ben Gardner's head floats out.......🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure someone else already said this but I didn’t see it: the reason you don’t see the shark a lot was because they mechanical shark wasn’t working properly. It had been designed for a fresh water tank and kept failing in the salt water off Martha’s Vineyard. I believe the failure of the shark functioning properly led to the success of the film.
Also, Hooper was supposed to die. They had hired someone to film a real shark by a small sized shark cage (to make the shark look bigger) with either a short person or a miniature figure (can’t remember) inside the cage. They caught some beautiful footage of the shark tangled up above the cage with nobody in it and decided to use that in the movie so they came up with the idea of having Hooper survive by hiding at the bottom (sharks usually attack from below)
Just the time of the year to get ready for the Beach!
🐋
Ben Gardner's head floating out of his boat is still voted as one of, if not the best jump scare of all time. For me, the only one that comes close is the scare in The Haunting of Hill House series. (If you know, you know, but don't spoil it for people.)
Thanks, Shadowcat! 🦈 My favorite from Mr. Spielberg is EMPIRE OF THE SUN (1987). I hope you'll react to that one day. #Shadowcat #StevenSpielberg #Jaws
16:21 "A _license_ plate?"
Surprising things have been found in the stomachs of sharks, over the years. I once went to a museum that had a wing dedicated to sharks and one exhibit showed the things that had been removed from their stomachs. One was an entire suit of armor.
I agree will you about Quint. He never saw a 25 footer before. It caught him of his guard.
I think that due to his war experience that Quint suffered from survivor's dilemma causing him to harbor a latent death wish. He took unusual risks like destroying the radio and pushing the engine to failure.
I read just recently that Boris Johnson said that the real hero of this movie was the mayor, because he wouldn't let a perceived danger interfere with the welfare of the town's businesses. Johnson then conceded that in this instance the mayor was actually wrong, but still felt that in general the principles on which he acted were right. This does not seem to be a widely shared response to the movie.
Loved your reaction thank you
You can't convince me that even the most youngest, jaded viewer who says the shark looks fake...is really being truthful at how terrifying it looks, machine or not. A testament to the brilliance of man made practical effects were vs a CGI cheat.
7:36 That moment for me was so shocking. The utter casualness with which the shark just ate that kid.
The shark POV to John Williams music is all that is required to instill terror!
FYI: THE reporter on the beach, was acted by Mr. Peter Benchley, whom had written the ICONIC book JAWS. Some of his other books were: THE ISLAND. THE DEEP. ECTRA.
Excellent reaction to a great movie. The shark from hell, Steven Spielberg couldn't show the shark at the beginning because it wasn't working for months, always sinking on the ground :D
The real antagonist was the MAYOR not the shark - the shark is just feeding - no bad intent just nature - in the book, Brody's wife has an affair with HOOPER ; ) So glad you finally watched the legend
That's why I thought the shark would make it out alive!
I was in High School me and some friends went and watched Jaws and after the movie we went swimming in the river near our town we were all freaked out.
The original Summer Blockbuster. First one, as we know them.
The shark(named Bruce after a lawyer) was supposed to be in a lot more of the movie but famously kept breaking down as it was not designed to operate in salt water. It not being seen much adds to the paranoia and suspense.
“Jaws” became the highest grossing movie of all time in just 60 days in the summer of ‘75. It began the summer movie blockbuster trend. Adjusted for inflation, it remains the 7th highest grossing movie of all time in the U.S.
Great reaction! If I could only watch one film ever again, it would be this one.
LOL that Mayor would be punched out I reckon, then again we have people like that in power today and people say "yes sir"
I saw this movie when it was reissued in theaters when I was little. Alex Kintner’s death traumatized me.
Spielberg is a master. If by some chance, Raiders of the Lost Ark has escaped you, I’d highly recommend it.
Even as an adult, every time I watch that scene it's terrifying horrifying traumatizing, all of the above. That scene, well most of the movie, but that scene especially never loses its impact.
This past summer, I saw it in the IMAX re-release. Awsome!
Your chuckles to the karate chopping scene was perfect 😂😂
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is an incredible Spielberg classic, Innovative, masterpiece. Oh then there is the best movie of all time, The Color Purple, a must see film of enormous importance.
I believe it was Murray Hamilton (?) who played the Mayor. I read that he was a well-respected character Actor
The chief was in a great 80s movie called Blue Thinder. Hooper was in a string of great movies. American Graffiti, Close Encounters, this movie, Let it Ride, Mr Holland's Opus, a comedy about a fake tribe he supposedly discovered, and a laugh riot called, What About Bob? With Bill Murray!! ,
Jaws is a Masterpiece.
The mayor is a great role not because he’s a good character, but because he is reflective of what real politicians (regardless of political party) are like. They always try to cover up and hide facts to give an appearance that things are going well even when they aren’t
You have a high IQ. Powerful observation skills ( you saw the billboard advertising the 4th of July) i never noticed that. Your expressions genuine. Mono tone yet your analogies are sound. Well done. I've seen this movie many times and now youtube allows me to see other type of reactions. I can see this movie with you again.
Hi hon. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I have to say I'm loving it and your absolutely killing it! Your reactions are fantastic and genuine, what every reactor should be but unfortunately very few are I find. Your great though so don't worry! 😁👍 I've watched a few of your reactions now and have a recommendation I think and hope you'll really like although it's a little unusual compared to what you've watched before. It's an Arnold Schwarzenegger film, one of his very early ones in fact and when I noticed you enjoyed some of his others, this one sprang to my mind! It's called Conan the Barbarian and is quite possibly one of my favourite films ever! I hope you'll watch it and allow us all to see your reaction! Love your channel and you, keep up the great work! 😁😁👍👍
Great reaction. First saw this film as a kid. Terrifying of course, but also we knew less about Great white sharks, so they were more mysterious and frightening.
In the book the mayor has to keep the beaches open; not for the profits, but he is getting pressure from the mafia. Also in the book Brody knows about Hooper because back in New York Hooper and Ellen were having an affair. At the end Hopper did not survive and Quint died in the same way as Ahab in Moby Dick,. Harpooning the creature, but getting caught in the rope and dragged down.
9:54 This picture illustrates a sensible precaution. This was a picture drawn _ages_ ago. Since then, we've learned a _lot_ more about sharks. We've learned that there are, in fact, more than 1000 distinctly different species, and some are actually rather benign.
Whale sharks don't even have teeth. Greenland sharks live more than 300 years. There are some that, fully grown, still fit in the palm of your hand.
Here, though, we're dealing with a Great White; a relatively _intelligent_ Great White that knows that people hide in boats. So no, boats are not safe.
The close up of Brody after the Kintner boy is eaten comes from Alfred Hitchcock- the O.G of suspense thrillers
34:48 "I didn't think that they were gonna be able to kill it."
It was an especially costly victory. That's what makes it believable.
Great reaction. Thanks!
You are a sheer joy to watch ...I find your synopsis to be on another level and it is so appreciated Thank you.Really.Thank you.
What a fantastic reaction and even greater post-film analysis & commentary. You are an outstanding reactor. I couldn't agree more with every single point you said. I'd LOVE to see your reaction to the NEXT Spielberg movie (which also included Richard Dreyfuss and composer John Williams): "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind". An amazing one-of-a-kind sci-fi masterpiece about ufo sightings and alien contact. DAZZLING and gorgeous and one-of-a-kind....and also a HUGE blockbuster. It was the combination of Jaws, then Close Encounters which cemented Spielberg's career. It's my favorite of all of his films, the most "Spielbergian" film he's ever made. And SUPER iconic. Came out the same year as "Star Wars" and even as a little kid, I preferred "Close Encounters"!!!!! Don't sleep on that one!!!! Thanks for the fantastic reaction video to "Jaws"!!!! I don't always watch reactions to Jaws - there are so many! - but I would not miss yours!
Hi luved ur reaction and n yep for a movie nearly 50 years old its still brillant on all levels the acting the character building the suspense and that u dont need 2 c the shark u just hear john willams amazing score 2 know shark there.saw this in 75 when i was 11. just a fun fact 1 of the kids with the fake fin is now the chief of police in edgars town on marthas vinyard where they filmed jaws.😊
8:32 _"Why?"_
