  • Jaws is one of my favorite movies of all time, and in this dissection, I went through scene by scene to try and find significance in each one. We looked at the technical side of the film, but also some philosophical elements to the story.

    The blue and grey attire of the mayor and his friends represent how they actually have similar characteristic to the shark itself. On the ferry, they circle around Brody like sharks circle around their prey.

    there are quite a bit of usages of fences in this movie throughout the film, in particular on the beach there is one when the first victim is found, she's inside the jagged, worn down fence that look like shark teeth. also the colors yellow and red are used a lot. I think at the end you were half right, it's a combination of old tech (the rifle) and new tech (the cannister).

      Love the part where Chrissie runs right through the “bite” shape taken out of the fence as she runs to the water,the guy however falls under it so we have already been shown who’s going to die. Also if you look at the final credits the grass on the shore is in the shape of sharks head!

    Fantastic! Definitely the best analysis of "Jaws" I have seen on RUclips. I actually watched it in the cinema ("big" movies ran for almost a year back in the day) when I was age 15. Scared the s*** out of me.
    Loved (and still do) the acting. Casting of the trio is spot on!
    Great explanation of the "zolly" (as they call it now): dolly tracking while zooming in the opposite direction. Must be a pain for the focus puller with Panavision lenses!
    Anyway: many new aspects of this great movie I haven't thought of yet. Thanks a lot for that!
    P.S. love the old color palette of typical 1970s negative film stock, in this case Eastman 100T 5254 - source: IMDB.com (even the digitally restored BluRay version from the camera originals thankfully retains it): generally slightly desaturated, warm colors are emphasized (yellow, orange and pure red pop out) while blues and greens are a little muted and lean towards cyan.
    Thanks again for another fantastic movie analysis!

    Hooper does not become more confident. Instead, he's forced to accept Quint's experience and expertise in contrast to Hooper's former overconfident notion that the line was bitten through not by a shark but some kind of game fish. Later, Hooper's respect for Quint grows when Quint tells the Indianapolis story.

    One could argue that Brody's method of killing the shark represents a synthesis of Quint and Hooper's approaches--it's Hooper's O2 tank but it's Quint's rifle (emblematic of his war experience) that blows it up.

  • @ipsurvivor
    @ipsurvivor 5 лет назад +5

    Great analysis... I am watching this now but have seen it before. I like that it has an unusual arc development like ‘Psycho’ did. Killing off the lead actor about 45 minutes into the movie was very bold and would be even today... also the first act does take up about half of the film... depending on how you decide Psycho. It helps the film in that there is a schizophrenic aspect to removing Marion and replacing her with her sister while Marion still lingers in the mind of the audience.
    You could divide Psycho: Act 1: Opening credits to death and water burial of Marion in her newly purchased vehicle with the money becoming “dematerialized”. Act 2: The introduction of Sam’s store where he meets Lily, Marion’s sister up until the killing of Arbogast and his untimely water burial. Act 3: The mobilization of Sam and Lily to investigate on their own up until the closing credits when Marion is “resurrected” along with her car.

    This 1975 "blockbuster" gave me nightmares when I was nearing 25 years old. Saw the movie with my parents...a sold out seating performance that weekend night that, by the next morning (Sunday) I had literally wadded up the sheets and blanket with sweat! And...to top that "feeling of anxiety", I HAD to buy the soundtrack by John Williams to intensify the story with others that year.
    Man! This movie still has effect! The thing that keeps me going for sure about it all these 45 years since seeing it is, the classic statements by the, three main characters of the movie: Chief Brody, Matt Hooper and Captain Quint. So....We all ae going to need a bigger boat to get this "big mother of a fish"with sharp teeth and powerful jaws", don't you think?

  • @MrGrass97
    @MrGrass97 5 лет назад +7

    I love your analysis. Though I’ll point out that in the end it was both modern technology (the tank) and classic techniques (the rifle) that ended up killing the shark. Perhaps the film was saying you need both.

    Great analysis, however, you read too much into the dinner scene between the father and the son. It was Rob Scheider's idea and he told Spielberg to shoot it. It was simply a humanizing scene. But it's a good idealogy to the story.

  • @80sOGRE
    @80sOGRE 6 лет назад +4

    what seems to get missed in all of the Jaws reviews i've watched is the main reason this film works so well is it uses 70s drama styled film making with it's long drawn out shots for the first half of the film. this conveys the feeling that you are watching a human story, not an action story with plenty of scenes with little speaking and just observation of facial human emotion. combine that with a fantastic situation like a very very large dangerous shark ( the typical perception of sharks at that time was so different than now, pre nature documentary era. as humans, sharks eat us and that was the limit of most peoples understanding of them ). another interesting thing never mentioned is the blood red band that runs around the body of the Orca, like some constant reminder of blood.

    Saying that new technology prevails because of the scuba tank is I think incorrect. The gun Brody uses is an old WWI rifle. Quints iirc, representing the old as new. So a combination was used to defeat the shark, with Brody himself representing perhaps courage.

    Honestly I think the whole thing with Brody is that he isn't very observing and nobody respects him much, he is not quite perfect. He is seen as clumsy when he picks up the wrong phone at the beginning. Brody has difficulty getting the town to listen to him in the first act when he begs to have the beaches closed. He is not listened to at his house when he tells his son to not use the swing but we see him and the mom using it later in the scene. He is this important guy, police chief but he doesn't live up to it. He says himself that he hasn't done much. Out of the three men, Brody is the lowest teir in knowledge. His whole character is more complicated than it seems, and his character development is him becoming important and respected, he appears at the top of the boat mast at the end of the film and he ends up being the one go save the day. He essentially "puts out the fire' by the end and becomes the top man out of quint, hooper, and himself.

    • @orville4014
      @orville4014 2 года назад

      He always is oblivious and separated from hooper and quint, and his lack of observation is his dominant flaw. Even his glasses represent this. He can not see clearly without them, metaphorically and litterally. At some point, they get knocked off and once he loses the glasses, he can see clearer and does more important things, eventually saving the day.

    There are a handful of films I can watch and feel no plot point or scene is wasted Jaws and Jurassic Park are up there, Curse of the Black Pearl is another one. I think what makes them work so well is a lot of scenes are doing more than one thing at a time and the more times I watch these films I always find even more subtext woven into the cinematography, script, and performances. Granted, all 3 of these films have their “plot issues.” In Jaws, a shark would never be able to submerge with even one of those barrels, in Jurassic Park why didn’t Tim just hand Grant the gun when the raptor was trying to open the door, Curse of the Black Pearl, if the moonlight appeared during the attack on port royal why did only the pirates visiting Jack’s cell become skeletons?
    However when it comes to story telling, if everything is strong enough we can dismiss these things. The shark in Jaws is more like a mythic force of nature than a shark, in Jurassic Park even when grant got the gun later he still wasn’t able to kill the raptor anyway, and Black Pearl… eh… I actually got nothing for that one, it’s an inconsistency but I always forget about it because right after the moon is covered again Barbossa appears and his performance makes me forget about the moon plot hole.

  • @Consensusmedia

    I interpreted it as new and old fail. The cage doesn’t work and Hooper is unsuccessful. The tank was never there to blow up the shark. I feel like it was really saying man is somewhat defenseless against nature because of things like human error and mistakes. Things Hooper and Quint both do. It is only by combining Quint’s gun and Hoopers tank and Brody’s desperation and survival. It’s the only time that they are truly on the defensive. No strategy, no form of attack, no safety. Just survival.

    Jack? JAWS IS NOT A HORROR FILM!! Good grief please get to know your genres. Steven himself calls the film an out door action adventure film. And the decision to not show the shark until the third act was specifically part of the script. It had nothing to do with the shark not working. That was a conscious choice.

      @Nicholas Callaghan it is not Horror at all. Even the director said so. It is an action adventure story

      @Nicholas Callaghan No it isn't!!. Friday the 13th is a Horror film. JAWS is an adventure film. Man against nature. That's not horror

      @Nicholas Callaghan You certainly are allowed your own opinion. I just wish you understood your genres. (**facepalm**) I am big fan of the comedy the Exorcist.

    Actually this is a pretty shallow review. IMO the two best scenes were of Quint. The first being when he notices the shark is nibbling on the bait. That slow build up as he straps himself into that seat is tension at its best. And then of course, the monolog about the sinking of the Indianapolis. A horror story within a horror story, that some, including me, would say was by itself worth the price of the ticket.

    I thought I was a super lunatic guy for watching it over and over again whenever I felt bored and where there was only 3 TV channels to watch back then in the late 70's . I must say your review have opened my mind even further with real juicy information. Seriously I don't mind watching it again. Cheers guys 🤗🤗🤗

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but don't we get a decent view of the shark when it is attacking Alex Kitner? It seems to be a good view of its eyes and snout..

    • @quietdemon8138
      @quietdemon8138 5 лет назад

      It’s from the perspective of the beach goers so we only see the snout but the behind the scenes footage shows the full head biting on a mannequin on a raft and then the actor surrounded by a underwater canister filled with fake blood to simulate him being devoured by the shark

      @rebeccaartybeccawatkins6931 2 года назад

      I just watched the movie yesterday and yes indeed you do see the shark just under the water as he attacks the kid on the raft. My memory before yesyerday was that the first time you saw the shark was when Brody is shoveling the chum out but that is just the first time we get a clear view of it out of the water.

    I loved the movie. but they should've keep in the books motive for why Larry wanted to keep the beaches open. In the movie greed or stupidity was the motive but yet with 3 deaths already on their hands that notice would've dropped like a pulse. You can't tell me that the people would still have been so callous after that! With the town in ruins in the book and everybody on the edge the books plot and story made more sense! It also added to the drama and suspense and desperate need to get that shark whacked!

    I love how he says apparently when talking about how the studio thought a real shark would be to dangerous great style of comedy he used there👍 and I do agree about how quint was a bad character definitely the worst problem in the film Steven was doing pretty good on the introduction of him but that wasn’t even that good he thus rushed him
