People always say "not the dog, not the kids" then Spielberg says... "How about both? In one scene."
🤣
The history about the USS Indianapolis is true 100%. of the 1200 sailors, about 900 survived the sinking, but at the end only 316 were rescued alive, the other died of exposure to the elements and shark attacks, is impossible to know the exact number is estimated than more of 100 sailors were victims of the sharks. Nobody was aware of the missing ship because it was a super secret mission.
There is btw, also a good movie about that ( USS Indianapolis:Men Of Courage)
@@VAMO_-tn9yv also a movie called 'Mission of the Shark'.
@@fanboyhex1555 Mission of the Shark is a better movie than Men of Courage IMO. I liked both, though
And the poor captain of the Indianapolis got blamed for it, even the Japanese sub captain testified on behalf of the Indianapolis' captain but eventually grief and despair caused him to kill himself in 1968, he was eventually absolved from the blame and his record was cleared in 1996.
I've heard people say it was Karma, the price the USS Indianapolis for delivering that bomb. I don't know if it was karma or not, but def. The universe found a way to balance things out.
“The kids are out there unsupervised? Even without the shark…that is confusing.”
Welcome to summer childhood in the ‘60s and ‘70s, Mary! We were left to wander all over town/the neighborhood/the woods for hours on end, no adults in sight. I grew up in a suburban subdivision, and would ride my bike all over-down to the creek, or a mile away to the tiny branch library after it opened, or three blocks over to the little playground. Some of my favorite memories was catching crawdads (tiny little crustaceans) in the creek at the bottom of the hill.
I didn’t have a watch, so I just had to listen for my dad’s whistle when it was dinner time (he would just poke his head out the front door, put his two fingers in his mouth, and give a deafening sound that could be heard for probably a half mile). That was my cue to ride home for the night.
That's the time baby boomers were growing up. Kids were way more expendable back then. If one kid disappeared, parents had 5 or 6 more on the shelf.
100%.Child of the 70s here. That bike was freedom. For us, we had to return when the neighborhood street lights come on, otherwise...dawn till dusk....the world was our oyster. MAYBE...we came home for lunch, but often we brought a snacks or ate at someone else's house.
I work with kids in different districts at a time now. My favorite are the kids in rural Texas small towns.....time's kinda stood still: they're all a little sunburnt and mosquito-bit and glowing.
It was still like that in the 80´s and 90´s, at least for me. Get on your bike and look for stuff to do. Nobody cared as long as you come back to sleep at home.
80's too. Once a kid has grown some and has proven to have at least some responsibility or just common sense, it was typical for kids to be a hell of a lot more free than now. As long as I was back by a certain time for dinner, I would spend summer vacations wandering around on my bike all over the place.
I think this is why some older movies focused on children can have some serious nostalgia for people. Movies like the Goonies or ET wouldn't make sense if based on the modern helicopter parenting we see now.
Yep - unsupervised play time was the norm even into the 80's. Not sure when it ended. The norm was for all the kids in the neighborhood to go out and play on their own and the only rules were that you came back to the house for lunch and dinner.
Not only was the story of the Indianapolis totally true, this film ended up inversely playing a massive role in it’s story.
A boy, Hunter Scott, that saw the film and became a massive fan and took an interest in the Indianapolis, learned about a controversy where the military had dumped all the blame on the captain, court-martialed him, to the crew's dismay and heartbreak, and had even committed suicide over the whole thing. This upset the kid so much that he petitioned to have history set straight, have his name cleared, and actually awarded a medal posthumously, and the crew was immensely thankful a movie and this kid 2 generations-removed was able to do what none of them were able to.
As meta as this has already gotten, there's even a movie about THIS story as well now, "Left for Dead: A Young Man's Search for Justice for the USS Indianapolis".
That's a wonderful reversal of a serious injustice, thank you!
Oh my gosh Mary, when the guy's head popped out of the hole in the boat, EVERYONE IN THE THEATER SCREAMED. I have never had an experience that approaches that collective scare since.
And they screamed for joy when the shark blew up!
Yeah, I saw JAWS on first release too, in a huge theater, totally packed. What an incredible shared experience!
I was one of them.
Psycho has a couple of good ones. Check it out.
I was 10...everybody screaming
As a 12 year old growing up in California, I was forbidden by my mom from seeing this because she said I’d be scared to go in the ocean after. So I snuck out to see it with my friend. I should have listened to her. I don’t go in past my knees to this day!
Mums know best
Also the story of the bomb is true, a ship sank and they spent 3 days floating in water watching their friends be slowly taken and eaten by thousands of sharks. Because the mission was so secret nobody knew the ship was missing. I forgot how many men died, I do know it was around 300
As a native Miamian. My parents thought it be great to show me this movie at age 6, because it was 15 years old at the time and was dated. L. While I loved this movie, it messed me up from going to the beach. They had the same rationale when it came to exorcist and alien when I was 10. Lol.
Saw this when I was 10 in 1978 and haven’t been past shin deep in the ocean since 😬
@@Loke6661666246 lol I kinda wanna be hooper rn and say I got ya beat....lol
The animosity between Hooper and Quint is real. Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw didn't get along at all and it made the shoot a real pain but they managed to make one hell of a film.
The poster art is almost more iconic than the film itself. I miss the days when movie poster designs were actually hand drawn and painted
People used to collect them.
Movie posters from that time are so iconic.
Your reaction to the jumpscare when Ben Gardner's head popped out of the bottom of the boat was well worth the price of admission. Great job, Mary!
Ben Gardner has gotta be the most reliable jump scare in all of film. 😁😁
mary was all of us at least once. she’s now been baptized.
@@samanthanickson6478 Yes, this classic is a rite of passage.
@@rustincohle2135 Hola RC
yep same reaction we had in the theater
I remember when this movie came out, I first saw it in a theater in 1975. This movie had a huge impact on just about everyone, all across the country!
Everyone at the time was talking about the movie, asking if you've seen it yet, it was crazy. People, all across the US, were afraid to go into the ocean, and for quite a while, some never went in the ocean again.
This movie had wide-spread popularity all over the world too!
It damaged beach economies that year all over the world, too.
JAWS is a perfect movie in every sense of the word. The dialogue, cast, story and action it hits on every note perfectly. Great video!
Agreed
It's so great because it's a Horror movie, a Suspense Movie, an Adventure Movie and a Buddy Movie. It checks every box!
Best movie ever for all of those reasons. The acting of everyone was top notch.
This movie is close to perfect. In the top 10 of all time for me, and still Spielberg's best work.
Mary gets married and she watches Jaws. Why am I thinking they are not going to the beach for a honeymoon? My brother and I saw Jaws on opening day. The next day we took our mutual friend Steve to see it. During the underwater boat scene where Hooper finds the tooth we both poked Steve in the sides during the jump scare and he literally jumped, turned said "not funny" and sat down. We were in hysterics while the rest of the theater was still screaming. This movie literally ruined beaches for a generation in the seventies, it's not just you Mary.
Saw this movie in the cinema with my dad when I was 14. We were in the back row. When the head appeared out of the boat, you could see the ENTIRE theatre leap up several inches. The worst jump scare of my life.
The movie is really two smaller films, the land section which has moments when the tension is relieved and the ocean section where things just build and build.
The first sign that this young Spielberg guy might be very special.
My father took my brother to see this movie when he was 11 and he said the head popping out of the boat scared him too, i was only 5 at the time but i was in tears that i couldn't go see it, i saw it a few years later on TV.
My dad took my brother to see it. When they home Jason rushed to the kitchen sink and threw up!
Mum was so cross. With dad, not my bro. Turns out he had tonsilitus, poor boy.
Just watching her reaction to the jump scare got me good.
Watching your heart go into arrhythmia as the head moved out of the bottom of the wrecked boat was priceless!! It so much fun to watch Jaws again with someone who has never seen it!
If you watch JAWS backwards, it’s a heartwarming story about a shark that gives arms and legs 🦵 to disabled people.
🤣 brilliant 🤣
My kind of humour
A shark gives birth to a man who has the power to repair chalkboards with his bare hands.
Santa Shark!
23:40
I got to meet 11 of the USS Indianapolis's survivors back in 2004 at an air show in Indiana.
What an amazing group of human beings they were.
Needless to say, watching this scene since then always gives me shivers and tears.
R.I.P all ye who sailed and protected the seas.
My great uncle was a survivor on the Indianapolis
@@billytidwell7229 He must've been a great man
Quint is played by Robert Shaw. He's a legendary character actor. He's been in a bunch of stuff. Played Henry VIII in "A Man For All Seasons", Doyle Lonnegan in "The Sting", Mr. Blue in "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3", and Red Grant in "From Russia With Love"
All movies she should watch.
Also in The Battle of the Bulge as a German tank commander. Another great performance of his.
Also the SPECTRE hitman Red Grant sent to kill Bond in From Russia With Love.
@@chrismcelligott5462 He was the Best thing in that CRAP Movie!
Sadly, he died shortly after this movie was out, I believe.
31:39 -- Quint called his own demise back at the town meeting.. "Little shaking, little tenderizing, down you go...."
Robert Shaw's delivery when telling the Indianapolis stroy is one the greatest moments in cinematic history. It imho Rival's Roy Boys Tear's in the Rain from Blade Runner when it comes delivering monologues or stories in films.
Fun fact: captain quint was based on a Long Island, NY fishing boat captain named Frank Mundis. The actor is Robert Shaw. He was in another ocean themed movie called the Deep.
People only remember Jaqueline Bissett from the Deep 😍
The actor who played Quint apparently had a drinking problem and his co stars said that he was drunk in all of his scenes. He played an assassin in one of the Sean Connery James Bond movies.
The downside of the movie is that it created an hysteria about sharks and people just started going out and killing then for no reason. Great whites don’t behave the way the one in this movie did, when they do bite humans it’s by mistake thinking it’s a seal and they usually bite once and once they realize it’s not a seal they stop and they also can’t swim in shallow water because they will drown. You regularly see videos on Instagram of divers swimming next to huge great whites.
The rumor that Robert Shaw was intoxicated all the time is a common misconception. He drank before shooting the Indianapolis scene for the first time as he thought it would add realism to the speech where the character is drinking. He went overboard and Spielberg sent him back to the hotel. When he sobered up, Shaw was very apologetic to Spielberg as he thought that he was going to be fired. Needless to say, he came back on the next day and nailed it.
After watching JAWS I was always paranoid about sharks whenever I swam in the water. Even if I was in a pool which is so absurd.
I used to be scared to swim in the deep end of the pool, especially at night. I thought a shark would break through the pool wall and bite me!
@@TheFairyintheFishBowl Exactly! Like if the apartments or owner of the pool had a pet shark 😅
_"I'll never complain about a wasp again..."_ - Gold!
That was a really impressive collection of syllables you strung together on seeing Hooper set to go into the water to see the underside of the boat!
In the 70s and 80s, my dad would literally chase us kids out of the house, and say, "I don't want to see you back here until dark! Go play!" It wasn't a big deal then. Neighborhood parks were actually used by kids playing, not teenagers smoking and vandalizing.
Confirmed 👍🏻 „ihr kommt nicht eher rein bevor die Laternen angehen“ 😂😂
This movie is considered the first Summer Blockbuster. It came out just before the original Star Wars. Quite a time to be going to the movies as a teenager I’ll tell you! The scene where Hooper goes into the water at night is one of the best jump scares in the history of Hollywood.🦈
Correction, it was Hooper. Brody was drunk and stayed on the boat. :)
Minor correction...this came out 2 years before Star Wars. This movie was so big in its day, it was still playing in a huge number of theaters the NEXT SUMMER. ✌✌💯💯
@@garyw0001 ok I’m to correct my comment. 🙂
@@thewiseoldherper7047 An honest mistake, of that I'm sure. 😀
“Are these kids unsupervised, even without the shark that’s confusing.”
Child rearing in the 1970s. 🙂
Yeah, we were free range kids.

It made $470 million dollars ($1.3 billion dollars) against a $13 million dollar budget.
I was 11 when I first saw Jaws (thanks Dad). I was traumatized till today and I live in Hawaii. When I dive, I pirouette when surfacing to ensure I am clear 360. I have seen a large hammerhead about 3 meters while I was diving and was very scared (had a spear gun). On another dive, I was told a tiger shark was following me (I did not see) of equal size. The lesson is there are always sharks in the ocean and we are not their normal prey and the fear is unfounded but the respect should be given.
Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw FOREVER !!!♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
Every once in a while, a movie is made that is a timeless classic that'll transcend time forever. THIS is one of those...A+
Read something interesting recently. The lady playing the Mom who lost her son to the shark decades later went into a seafood restaurant and mentioned to the waitress that she was in Jaws and who she played. The waitress went to the kitchen and brought out the owner. Who told her he was the actor who played her son! Also, btw the book had some differences. Hooper had a brother who went to school with the sheriff's wife. Hooper and the wife ended up sleeping together. And then as a moral I guess, Hooper got eaten by the shark. The sheriff swam back alone.
That actress, Lee Fierro, just passed away on April 5, 2020 at the age of 91. How time flies.
Back in '75, in the newspaper listings for theaters, some movies were listed as Held Over, meaning they were kept on for longer due to popularity. Jaws stayed on for a whole year, which was unheard of.
The next movie that did that (at least in my town) was Star Wars in '77. That played until past Christmas after opening in May.
Wow, don't know why I never noticed before but the quality of your production is really the best I've seen. (Picture size & quality, sound too)....I wish you'd give lessons to MOST of these reactors!!!! Great job, nice personality too!!!!
Remember Webster from Band of Brothers? Webster became a writer after the Army. He wrote a non-fiction book about sharks, which became the inspiration for the novel on which this movie is based. Webster disappeared out on the ocean alone, shark fishing. This movie made Steven Spielberg's career, leading eventually to making Band of Brothers.
The demise of the USS Indianapolis is true. It delivered part of the Hiroshima bomb, was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, and the crew were spotted by accident five days after the ship sunk. There are several detailed books on the subject.
Don’t you mean the…di-MEESE?
I saw this film in the theater with my parents when I was a kid. There really wasn't anything to compare this to back in the mid-70's. It really was the first "Summer Blockbuster", in that people literally lined up around the block to get in to see the film. Oftentimes they would leave the theater and then go get right back in line again. The scene at Ben Gardener's boat is the best jump-scare in the history of cinema. Everyone reacted exactly like you but it was 10 times worse because they also reacted to everybody else reacting.
Your triumphant raising of the hands is what everyone did at the end as well, often accompanied by cheers and applause.
Great reaction! Enjoy your Honeymoon!!
Jaws was shot in 1974 & released in 1975. It is considered by many film experts to be the very first Summer Blockbuster. Jaws actually created the saying, Summer Blockbuster. Also, the story about the USS Indianapolis is very real! It did happen.
Fun fact: On the morning when all the tourists have arrived, the TV reporter in the sports coat, strolling the crowded beach, is played by Peter Benchley, the author of the novel on which "Jaws" was based.
An entire generation of kids became terrified of the water. 😂😂😂
Not only that, people thought sharks would attack them on land, in their homes, in their showers. Turns out they were really afraid of Democrats. They just didn't realize it yet.
I saw them in my bath as a kid. damn movie!
Oh yea.. Back in 1975 people jumped up and RAN out of the theater when Ben Gardener's head popped out...
32:53 FUN FACT: This ending was Steven Spielberg's idea. In the novel, Hooper dies and Brody is left alone floating in the ocean while the shark heads straight toward him. Brody prays for a quick death but the shark stops before he gets to Brody and dies due to all the damage he's taken.
When author Peter Benchley heard Spielberg's idea for the ending, Benchley said, "Steven that is unbelievable. A tank doesn't explode like that, it cannot be done", to which Spielberg replied, "I don't care. If I have the audience's attention for two hours, they'll believe anything I do for the last five minutes".
In 1975, few people were familiar with the idea of a "marine biologist". You could say this film put the idea into a million kids' heads, as to what they wanted to be when they grew up.
JAWS Was the first giant shark movie. Up until this time sharks in movies and tv shows were these dolphin sized fish. It came as a surprise to a lot of movie goers that while the great white in Jaws was bigger than the record it wasn't much bigger and fishermen and surfers had reported seeing them this size.
Trivia #1 is that it was filmed out-of-season to the actual summer at Martha's Vineyard. Beach/air and water were cold.
Trivia #2:. One the boys doing the shark-fin prank was voted in as the current Chief of Police at Martha's Vineyard, I believe it was 2021/2020.
My entire childhood in the 70s and 80s was unsupervised outdoor play with siblings and neighbor kids. Thank god I was born back then.
I think this movie should get a special award from Mary... "Movie that elicited the most startled exclamations in Mary's native language".... And, don't feel bad, Mary... I was a kid when this movie came out, and my mom saw it. My family NEVER went to the beach again after she saw Jaws. Hell, I'm 52 now, and I'm still a little wary of ocean swimming! I've watched enough documentaries to know it's a silly, irrational, fear... but still. If I'm more than waist deep, that music is in the back of my head.... Daaa-dum.... Daaa-DUM....
Mary I grew up about 15 miles from where this was filmed Falmouth Cape Cod Ma. when this came out I was 12 and to this day I still swim with my back to the beach Mary the screaming from the jump scare in the theater was scarier than the floating head my father even lurched out of his seat.
Mary if you would like to see Robert Shaw (Quint) along with Robert Redford and Paul Newman in a fantastic movie called The Sting. It won the Best Picture Oscar in 1973 well worth a watch by you
Ditto for the Sting!
Yes! The Sting is an even better movie and you will love it.
“Disgustiiiing but YAYYY!” Lmao Mary is amazing.
Fun fact: The jump scare under Ben Gardner’s boat - one of the best jump scares in cinema history - was improvised by Spielberg after test screenings. After watching test audiences he felt he needed one more scream. The underwater jump scare was filmed in the backyard swimming pool of film editor Verna Fields (she won Jaws’ only Academy Award) on Spielberg’s own dime and without Universal’s knowledge. They poured milk into the water to make it look murky and then spliced it in to the now finished film.
Retrospect is an interesting thing. Universal wanted to pull (stop production) of Jaws and issued the order to do so more than once. Spielberg, who had the fortunate circumstance of literary being on an island and as geographically far away from Universal as possible, just ignored them and kept filming. If the corporate suits had their way Universal would have lost millions of dollars and that would have been that. Instead one rebellious filmmaker made them hundreds of millions of dollars, birthed the concept of the summer blockbuster and his own superstar career, all while giving the public one of the best films ever made.
a security-tipp for your vacations: the absolutely most dangerous situation in jaws happened in the last seconds of the movie, when brody and hooper swam exactly into the remains of the exploded shark ... this is exactly the spot where everything dangerous will gather now. so, don´t swim near carcasses in the open sea 🙂
One of the best American films of the 20th century. It’s nearly flawless.
“Why did they do this at night by the way? Is there a specific reason?”
Because it’s *flipping* scary.
Perfect movie, all time classic.
🤣🤣👍
Hooper also said that sharks tend to feed at night.
Jaws did to beaches what Psycho did to showers.
John Williams' score elevates this film to the next level and is arguably the real star.
My mother and grandma took me to see this when I was 3. 😶 On the boat head scene I literally leapt from my seat into my mom's lap. That's one of the most concrete memories of my childhood.
Omg Mari I loved your spontaneous re-write of “Had a Bad Day” lol. Congrats on getting married! I wish you many years of happiness and I hope you have a nice, shark-free honeymoon.
Funny trivia: The mayor refers to the "Kintner boy" as the second victim. The actor and director Billy Bob Thornton was so...."amused" by that way of referring to the victim that it became a favorite phrase of his. When he made the film Bad Santa (worth reacting to, btw), he insisted to the prop people that they make the name for the "uncrackable" safe in the film the "KintnerBoy Redoubt," and emphasized that it was legendarily uncrackable. LOL.
The shark attacking the cage was a real great white shark attacking a real person in a cage near Australia. The footage was commissioned for "Jaws". They used a small person, so the shark would look bigger. I don't know, if anyone was hurt, but the footage turned out better, than Spielberg expected.
FUN FACT: The jaws book was inspired by a real incident that happened with a 4500 pound (2041 KG) great white shark off the coast of Long Island back in 1964.
On the lake in Austin they used to (still?) do a screening of Jaws while you were floating around in big tubes. They had divers who messed with your feet (and in case of emergency) and it was the scariest thing I've ever done in my life. Never again, but if you have the chance do it.
A nearby waterpark does the same thing in the pool.
4:30 The actors who played that mother and child didn't see each other again after that day...until several decades later when she - without knowing - walked into the restaurant he owned, sat down and he went up to her. "MOM!"
If I recall correctly, Spielberg had John Williams add the musical "shriek" to the jump scare because the initial test audiences didn't react very strongly when the head popped out.
Robert Shaq's Indianapolis speech has to be ranked as mone of the top moments in film history, Absolutely riveting and more or less true to the actual event..
This reaction didn't disappoint! I had to rewatch the scene with the floating head twice because it was so good.🤣
Hey Marijke, THe Shark gave Spielberg so much trouble during the making of the movie that he had to change the way he would film "JAws". Instead of showing an awesome Shark coming out of the water terrorizing folks. Spielberg had to make the movie more of a suspense-filled affair. In which we only see parts of the Shark attacking people until almost the end of the movie. THe approach made the film become more of a classic as opposed to a cheesy B-rated movie.
Hi,
Im afraid that's become an exaggerated myth. Far more of the shark was supposed to be seen in the second half of the film, true, but the mechanical shark was never scheduled to be used for the beach scenes. They were filmed without seeing the shark by design.
All the beach scenes were filmed May to early July 1974. Bruce was not scheduled to be used until mid July, for the Orca set scenes.
According to The Jaws Log and Memories From Martha's Vineyard, the first half of Jaws was filmed more or less according to plan. It was the second half where things went wrong.
Just saying 👍
Mary clearly loves us all. Watching this movie weeks before going snorkeling? To use the sound effect in Mary’s videos, “No -ing way I would watch this before that sort of trip, youtube channel or not!” Mary is way braver than me!
Speilberg got some actual inspiration for this film from a series of real shark attacks that happened off the New Jersey coast in 1916. A large shark mauled 5 people, killing 4 of them over an 11 day span.
I remember when I saw this at the old Goshen theater, it had rows of seats that were all connected together and screwed to the wood floor. When the jump scare came, I could feel the row shake as the audience jumped backward pushing into their seats. Bowlegged is a condition when a person's legs are bowed outward, even when the ankles are together. Quint "Here's to swimming with bowlegged women"
Cellists.
It's a quote from Popeyes theme song
(the cartoon, not the restaurant)
This movie was such a huge blockbuster, it was still playing in a lot of theaters over a year later in the summer of 1976. That is when I first saw it, in a theater in a beach town, because it was too hot for my Dad and he wanted to take us to a place that was air conditioned. 😁😁✌✌
"A" huge blockbuster? It was the FIRST blockbuster! The one that began the entire category.
How old were you when you saw it? I was 8. It was absolutely life-changing, wasn't it???
@@Cre80s Same here...and it definitely made an impression on me. Especially the Indianapolis story. 💯💯
@@iKvetch558 Yes, not only is it obviously the best scene in the movie, deceptively, it even was my favorite scene when I was that little kid. What's weird is I always seemed to have a respect and admiration for the wrong characters in movies like this, or the production intended someone my age to relate more to other characters; for example, watching Star Wars, while I naturally loved all the heroes, my favorite was Obi-Wan, and my fave scene was him explaining the past, about a war we'd not seen and a father he'd not known, and explained the stakes of the future and Luke's importance to help (what's called a pointer scene). Anyway, I suppose it hits my respect for old dudes with a big past that is hidden and understated. Anyway, yeah, LOVE this scene.
@@Cre80s I had respect for Quint for being a survivor, but it was clear to me...and my Dad also explained...that he lets his hatred of sharks lead him into suicide. Even before I knew who Ahab was, I knew Quint was a version of the same archetype. I do agree with you about Obi Wan for the most part, though I see him as being a bit too manipulative at times...perhaps a bit blinded by Jedi dogma, but then, most Jedi were.
@@iKvetch558 Well, the idea of the Jedi being "troubled" totally did not exist in '77, even in the entire OT for that matter. That's an idea/product of the prequels onward. There was very little, if any, idea of him being manipulative in audiences up to ROTJ, because we were given that since Luke wasn't resentful, we weren't given to be. Regardless, in '77, when no sequel was even contemplated, Obi-Wan was nothing if not admirable.
It is pretty crazy how well it looks for 1975. Loved the reaction.
"One of the best dolly zooms in movie history, change my mind"
Okay, I'll change your mind: It is THE very best dolly zoom in movie history.
Fun fact: It is not a good idea to name your dog "Shark" and go to the beach with him.
🦈
That is why I named my dog Fire. 😄
Great reaction Mary! I kept thinking, “Oh, that’s it for Mary and going to the beach!” That’s ok, put that out of your mind! I saw this movie at the Cinerama Dome in 1975, and have enjoyed the beach many times since. Mostly, sharks are looking for seals, or fish, which they usually encounter. People, not so much. I never understood why surfers wear black wetsuits, which makes them look more like seals. And shark vision is not really very good, so swimming near dawn or dusk is also a really bad idea. So, wear those brighty colored swimsuits, and avoid dimly lit conditions. And, if a shark just happens to bump into you, bump back! Enjoy your honeymoon!
Mary, you got that duck working overtime in this movie! The idea behind the yellow barrel system, is to stick as many of them to the shark, as needed to:
1. Keep the shark from diving deep. This way, you can keep track of where it's located at any given moment.
- AND -
2. To tire the shark enough, that it doesn't have any fight left in it after a short period of time. This makes it easier to capture and kill.
allmost 50 years old,still impressive that they build a machine,that looks so real!
"Jaws" is a perfect analogy to the Covid Pandemic.
Boris Johnson is on record as saying the Mayor is the hero of this movie.
Multiple times, potentially. Back when he was running for Mayor of London:
“A gigantic fish is eating all your constituents and he decides to keep the beaches open. OK, in that instance he was actually wrong.
But in principle, we need more politicians like the mayor - we are often the only obstacle against all the nonsense which is really a massive conspiracy against the taxpayer."

Good review! Almost everything the shark in this movie did is not what a real shark would do. Except the eating. But it wouldn't be hunting down every member of the crew. And they usually only bite people when they confuse the person for something it normally eats.
All that said, this is a great movie. You did a great job facing down your fears.
You’ve just seen one of the best movies ever made. Don’t stress about sharks on your honeymoon. Shark attacks are super rare. Congrats btw.
i love this movie, the most unassuming character gets the shark kill, Quint and Hooper showing off battle scars at the table, shark bites, moray eels, and Brody gets it done. that was one of my fav part of the movie too, "Show me the way to go home,.." hilarious. great reaction! 🏃♂🦈
"Would an animal actually do that?" (Attacking the boat) I encourage you to read the story of the whaling ship 'The Essex' for confirmation.
It was hilarious how you cut in a shot of ace ventura during the first shark attack. 🤣
There are multiple documentaries about the making of Jaws and how many problems they had with production due to salt water, etc. I'm so happy you enjoyed this one!
I'm 70 and saw this the Week it opened. In High School and College we used to go down to Long Beach Island in NJ and swim a half mile out and back! Sometimes we'd swim at night. I have never been in the Ocean since!

Mary: “Maybe it won’t be as bad as I think it is.”
Me: “Buckle-up!” 🤣🤣
Robert Shaw (Quint) starred in The Sting. Richard Dreyfuss (Hooper) starred in The Goodbye Girl (1978 Best Picture), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Always, The American President, Stand by Me, and What About Bob?
Jaws was the very first summer blockbuster.
One of the greatest films ever made. Fun fact: Almost the entire cast are not actors. They were locals. Chrissy, both Brody children, Ben Gardner Mrs. Kintner. Heck, the coroner was played by the town’s actual coroner.
10:23 Cuts straight to a Colgate ad right after that record scratch sound! Perfect timing!
Also congrats on your wedding!
This movie never scared me. It actually helped.
Whenever I heard the music I would just get out of the water.
Lol Mary all of your emotions watching this make Jaws one of the greatest movies of all time! 😂👍🏻
This movie is one of the many examples that show how a well made movie can still be extremely enjoyable for decades after being made. This movie is 47 years old and still is a so much fun to watch.
I keep forgetting to post this but that duck quack sound effect you use when you accidentally curse never fails to make me laughing out loud, lol
What makes it even funnier is that it is the same sound effect Urinating Tree uses when someone throws an interception in one of his This Week in Sportsball videos.
The Great Lakes are perfect for your vacation. Beautiful water, no salt, no sharks.
I saw this at the drive in when I was 4 or 5 in 1975. Messed me up, couldn’t sleep with out a night light after that for years.
Mary, i just love watching movies with you!!! btw, the on the beach t. v. commentator on the beach was the writer of Jaws, Peter Benchley
Thank you for doing this for our pleasure. 😂
49 years later, the head-popping jump scare never fails! Great reaction! 👍
Couple of fun facts, the movie was based on a novel which was inspired by real life freak shark attacks in 1916 New Jersey. Several people were killed and it lead to the discovery that some sharks can swim upstream and survive in freshwater. Also the author of Jaws was so upset that his book and the movie cause people to start killing sharks, many of them that aren’t known for hurting humans he devoted his life to educating the public on sharks and helped with various wildlife charities.
The books author, Peter Benchley, was the tv reporter on the beach.
Quint's backstory having served on the Indianapolis gives a chilling insight as to why he dedicated the remainder of his life killing sharks
A previous Spielberg movie you could see is 'Duel'. A truck is the shark in that one. Robert Shaw (Quint) did loads of films one of which was 'Robin and Marion' in which an older Robin Hood returns to Sherwood. Shaw played The Sheriff of Nottingham, Connery was Robin and Audrey Hepburn, Marion.
