Substance, fine craft and humanity over just style, corporate sterility and posing. Even just in the first few minutes of the movie, the visual storytelling tells you all about Brody, what he's like, what he does, his family life and background. More importantly, Brody feels like a totally real person right away. I find most movies and characters in them now feel weirdly vapid and just actors trying to pose and maybe even always just have this odd petulant teenage attitude no-matter how old they are or what they're supposed to be.

He wasn't expecting none of that shark action but stood up and handled business in the face of all those greedy nutcases running the town who only cared about profits.

Remarkably, the speech delivered by Quint about the USS Indianapolis tragedy is a true story, an actual historical fact. It really happened! His story relating the incident 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 was determined to personally secure the bounty and reward for killing the shark, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge (or perhaps redemption) for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by destroying the man-eating shark himself…

The story is exaggerated. The way they make it sound in the movie is that sharks killed all the people in the water when in fact the vast majority of the people in the water were killed by injuries from the torpedoes or from the elements like dehydration and such. Most of the people that were eaten by sharks were scavenged. And I'm sure that there were some that were injured that were killed as well but there were actually entire groups of survivors that never encountered one single shark the entire time. So it's not really fact. Scott elements of truth that are exaggerated

The military blamed it on sharks out of respect for the men. While some of the survivors in the water were attacked by sharks, it was nowhwere near what the reports were.

Sorry to spoil your comment (as I entirely agree with you that 70s movies were crafted and filmed infinitely better than today's shit) but that Ben Gardner jump scare wasn't crafted to be in the film at all. It was put in after the film had wrapped when Speilberg saw a preview audience screening and wanted a big jump scare somewhere in the film as he thought it lacked it. So that scene was filmed, inserted and John Williams rearranged his cue for the boat discovery and notched the volume up max and voila! One of the best jump scares alongside Carrie's hand popping out of her grave!

So, for example, a housewife (usually Gilda Radner) would hear a knock on the door. She'd walk over and call through the door, "Who is it?" A voice on the other side of the door would call back, "Candygram." She'd respond through the door something like, "Who would be sending me a candygram?" It would call back, "Candygram.......land shark" Eventually, she's say, "I'd better find out" and open the door and it would kill her.

SPOILERS: In the book the shark died of it's wounds. It was shot, stabbed, and just plain beat down and exhausted from those barrels too. The shark and crew really went at it and just like in the movie, the shark was winning that battle. It killed Hooper and Quint was collateral damage. It was just about to get Brody, who was prepared to die at that point so he closed his eyes and started praying but after a few seconds he looked and saw that the shark had just suddenly stopped a few feet in front of him, died and sank. It had a heart attack or something. Quint also wasn't eaten in the book, he was dragged behind the shark on a line and drowned. Brody watched as both Quint and the shark sank into the sea. Hooper was killed in the book and I heard he was too in the movie but the audience test liked him too much so they reshot the scene where he survives. If you watch you can sorta tell where they re-edited it, there's a cut where the shark originally got him in the cage but they recut and added the scenes of him escaping to the bottom then meeting back up with Brody after.

In fact, Brody and Hooper didn't get along that well in the book, neither did Brody and the wife. She was a bored housewife and they were having marital issues. Brody seemed kinda pissed that she was liking the attention the shark brought. Most of the characters in the movie are better people than their book counterparts.

It's similar here in Vermont with Skiing. We get huge volumes of tourism during the winter, and there's businesses that support them throughout those months.

This is my all-time favorite movie. I even have the shark from the poster tattooed on my back. First saw this one in September 1979 when the movie aired on ABC. I was five at the time, and since it was a Sunday night, I had kindergarten the following day. I was allowed to watch the beginning of it, but then the 9PM bedtime hit, and I was supposed to go to bed. However, the door to me and my little brother's bedroom didn't latch, and since my brother was asleep on the couch with my parents, I kept sneaking out of the bedroom and hid behind the recliner at the entrance of the family room where the movie was still playing. When a commercial came on or one of my parents would get up, I'd quickly head back to the bedroom and wait until the coast was clear again. I got to about the part where the Orca breaks down, and Mom caught me. She laughed and said that since the movie was almost over then I might as well finish watching it. It was in the summer of 2004 when CAPA down in Columbus was doing their summer movie series. The first weekend was Jaws. I was second in line for the first showing. Seeing my favorite movie on the big screen for the first time with an audience was an awesome experience with the screams, laughs at the funny parts, and everybody in front of me literally coming up out of their seats when Ben Gardner's head popped into view. Jaws 2 is the best of the sequels and the only other Jaws movie in my collection. The third and fourth are worth a watch, but the quality went downhill fast. Some other creature features you guys should watch are Kingdom of the Spiders (1977), Piranha (1978), and Alligator (1980).

People keep saying that they have no interest in humans, but they keep eating us, just as they have throughout human history. Even if they do not intend to eat us, their bite often does so much damage that we don't survive. They are not mindless killers, as portrayed in this movie, they usually bite humans for a reason, for food or to get us out of the area that they are feeding in. Mistaken identity does occasionally happen, but not as often as some people claim, and accidental bites are even more rare. Sharks know that we are not seals or sealions, as we look, smell and swim differently than them, but we also give off a different electrical field than them too. There have been occasions where sharks have attacked humans while they were swimming with dolphins or seals, but there is not a single recorded incident of a shark attacking a dolphin or seal while a human was present, so this indicates that sharks are not mistaking us for something else.

After reading Gottlieb’s extensive notes, Spielberg asked if he would join the Jaws production and help to redraft the troubled script adaptation of Peter Benchley’s best-seller. Gottlieb quit his day job. The infamous line from Jaws, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat," came about during those rewrites. “It was an overlap of a real-life problem combined with the dilemma of the characters onscreen,” Gottlieb says of the origins of the line. The real-life problem being a barge (named by the cast and crew S.S. Garage Sale), which carried all the lights and camera equipment and craft services, was steadied by a small support boat that was too tiny to manage the job. Gottlieb recalls: “[Richard] Zanuck and [David] Brown were very stingy producers, so everyone kept telling them, ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat.’ It became a catchphrase for anytime anything went wrong - if lunch was late or the swells were rocking the camera, someone would say, ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat.'” Roy Scheider, who played Brody in the movie, ad-libbed the line at different points in his performance throughout filming. But the one reading that made it in to the final cut of the movie was after the suspenseful first look at the great white shark. Says Gottlieb, “It was so appropriate and so real and it came at the right moment, thanks to Verna Field’s editing.”

The book Jaws, came out about a year before the film and they timed the release of this film with the release of the paperback version of the book, which everybody had and was talking about , creating a huge buzz, they also did a wide release of the film, which I believe was unusual at the time. I liked the second Jaws, I thought it was suspenseful and fun. The third and fourth were pretty low budget and not worth it.

It sometimes irks me that in order to make the movie tighter, Spielberg and Carl Gottlieb decided to leave out the subplot in the novel that informs us that the reason Mayor Vaughn is so terribly desperate to get paying vacationers onto Amity's beaches is because he'd persuaded certain underworld hierarchs to invest rather heavily in the island's interests. He wasn't concerned one jot about the shark because he knew darn well that there were worse predators out there to scare _him._ 😏

Robert Shaw (Quint) and Richard Dreyfuss (Hooper) actually hated each other on set and were constantly bickering; Shaw made sure to annoy him just for the laughs, and just to get a kick out of the character. That, aside from MAJOR technical issues with the mechanical shark, shooting schedule (they were over 100 days late), budget…… the way Spielberg pulled it off, stuck with the project and made it happen this classy, is amazing; to this day, almost 50 years later, he still has some dreams/nightmares about the mess it was to film this movie, as he said in a behind the scenes documentary. I guess this does work for horror after all

Alot of people don't know this but the barrel system they use to track it with is actually a method of hunting and killing sharks. See Sharks never sleep so their constantly swimming in order to keep breathing, the barrel is meant to tire the shark to the point where it will lose it's strength and die. It takes a CONSIDERABLE amount of energy to swim underwater especially with a air filled barrel stuck to ya, so the shark is constantly swimming down and using up access energy to stay underwater. Eventually the shark becomes too tired and the barrel will force them to the surface. Another reason why sharks dive down is because Sharks are one of the few species in the world that will cannibalism one another if their hungry enough, so they not only dive down for safety but safety from each other.

I was first mate on a charter fishing boat in the keys for several years. Back then, you didn't have the engineering that reels have today nor did we have the type of line that we have today. Leader lines, nylon line, all of that was brand new. You absolutely would have to dump water onto a spinning reel to keep it from overheating and not only snapping the line but completely sort of exploding the real itself. That being said, in 1987, I caught a 52 lb cow dolphin (mahi mahi) on an ugly stick and 12 lb test (a bass reel). It took me five and a half hours to get it into the boat and, tore all the muscles in both shoulders. A fish will take a line, dive and then relax. You real in as much line as possible, (What he's wearing is called a fighting belt and gimble. The gimbal rocks in the fighting belt to allow you to move the pole. We also have fighting chairs where you can brace your feet up against them to add leverage.) When a fish is tired, it will actually rest sideways and it's literally impossible to pull a fish up when it is resting sideways. The only time you can get it towards you is when it's nose is faced towards you. They can rest for long periods of time and you have to keep the tension on that line or, you'll lose the fish. Add to that the fact that I didn't think it was worth it to enter the dolphin contest that year, I lost first prize. She was the biggest dolphin brought in that day.

The mechanical shark was named Bruce (it was named after Spielberg's lawyer). Bruce was a complete piece of junk and broke down constantly. Bruce even sank a couple of times and had to be rescued from the sea floor. Bruce was so bad that they had to completely change the way that they were shooting the movie, and instead of showing the shark, they had to resort to a lot of tricks to imply the shark instead. Since your imagination fills in what you can't see, this ended up making the movie much more terrifying. If Bruce had worked properly, this would have been a cheezy 70's movie with crappy 70's effects. But because Bruce kept failing miserably, they ended up with a terrifying movie that holds up well even today. So you can thank a crappy mechanical shark for this movie being an absolute classic.

I saw this in the theater when it was first released - and I cannot begin to describe the hysteria this caused! Lines around the block! It spawned all kinds of merchandise: T-shirts, blankets, lunch boxes, beach towels, etc. People were actually NOT going into the water at the beaches! This absolutely is the best of the Jaws films. The actors are top of the line. Based on the novel by Peter Benchley, (who does a cameo as the reporter on the beach) it is a sort of twist on the Moby Dick story - where instead of just one man obsessed with catching the shark (whale, in the Melville story), you have the "old school sailor" who is obsessed to the point of insanity, the contemporary marine biologist who uses new methods to try to catch the shark and then there's Brody, who is afraid of water - and he goes along with them. It was nominated for 4 academy awards and won 3: Best Sound, Best Film Editing and Best Original Score (John Williams). It was filmed in Martha's Vineyard, and is considered the 1st "blockbuster" film. Spielberg did not want to be involved in any sequels.

sadly, my parents who were in their twenties in that year didn't see this movie when it came out since they aren't big time horror fans and thought JAWS looked ridiculous for a movie about a killer shark. My dad never gets scared at all in horror movies. none lol. Million years later, where i am in my thirty's now, i tried very hard for my dad (mom already past away in 90's) to check out the movie since he is a BIG TIME SPEILBERG fan in so many movies but never saw this one. Did he actually watch it? YES! even though it didn't scare him he thought it was pretty good. But he did watch it the second time during COVID - 19 (with me there) and saying it just got way more entertaining and fun. REason cause of the terrible havoc letting the beaches be open while its spreading like crazy for only thinking of making money and not care of risking the beach goers. Just like that Mayor in Jaws to just keep the beach open while their is a shark on the loose.

I named my first dog, 'Hooper." She was a girl. I loved Matt Hooper. I hated it when Quint died, but there were lots of clues and foreshadowing. I wouldn't have trimmed anything. The reason the Mayor felt he couldn't shut down the town was because the entire town depended upon the summer income for a living. In the meetings, none of the business owners wanted the beaches shut down. They are a seasonal town that makes their only income from the summer tourists. The fourth of July was the biggest money-making time of the year. If you see the ending, you do see them reach the shore. My rating was always 10/10. Like Halloween 1978! Jaws is one of the perfect movies. The mayor did the right thing when he signed to pay Quint to kill the shark and THEY did kill the shark.

indianapolis monologue in full Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, chief. It was comin’ back, from the island of Tinian to Laytee, just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn’t see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you’re in the water, chief? You tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know… was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Huh huh. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The sharks come cruisin’. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it’s… kinda like ol’ squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he’d start poundin’ and hollerin’ and screamin’ and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he’s got…lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eye. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin’ and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’ they all come in and rip you to pieces. Y’know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don’t know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don’t know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin’ chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. He’d been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He’s a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

The Mayor served his purpose of representing a town too focused on tourism (and with the economics of the 70's, it was no small thing), making highly questionable decisions related to that idea, and eventually getting land-lover Brody locked into boarding the Orca and hunting down the shark. Had this film been a social or political drama, then more time could be spent of the Mayor...but this an action-mystery-thriller, and besides, he really is a secondary character. The same could be said about extending the ending. Watching the surviving victorious heroes swim for the sunset...errr shore was the best ending for this quintessential Summer Blockbuster (one that started and defined the genre). Going back to the Mayor only takes away from the their triumph over a seemingly unstoppable foe.

Not if you ask Carl Gottlieb, co-writer and star of Jaws. He has always had issue with Spielberg citing Milius as the writer and says his involvement was talked up because they are friends. He says Shaw deserves the credit. The original treatment was written by Howard Sackler and was two pages long - Spielberg incorrectly claims it was just two paragraphs. He then asked other friends including Robert Zemeckis and his Back to the Future co-writer Bob Gale to have a crack and yes Milius was involved. In fact Gottlieb says there were about 10 versions of the speech including his own and they were all given to Robert Shaw who had written plays before. He took them all and came up with the final draft. He brought it to dinner with the director and crew and told them he "had that pesky speech licked..." He performed it there for them and once complete Speilberg said: "That's what we're shooting.." The input from Milius wasn't even in person, they only ever spoke over the phone. As Carl says, "...who are you going to believe, the guy who wasn't there who claims to have written it or the guy who WAS - but claims he didn't ?"

Her son served on the Indianapolis, and she just found out how he died. What happened to the Indianapolis was heavily classified when the book was written, and first published, but it was declassified around the time the movie was about to start filming. Not a fun way to find out a horrible fact about the loss of a loved one. Also, the Indianapolis speach as it appeared in the final cut was written by Quint actor Robert Shaw.

One for ticket purchases, and then one for ticket holders. It as packed and SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER was born. What is more amazing is the books THE JAWS LOG, and THE MAKING OF JAWS. What an amazing books. First film ever to be filmed on the actual ocean. No CGI. Music was amazing. From scary music to adventure music. Which is why John Williams is John Williams. And this like Speilbergs third film and possibly his last. But instead. It gave him licence to make movies for years to come...his way. Read the Books I've mentioned above. Many film makers who have come up have said those books were like their bibles. 10 out of 10. - Toronto, Canada. PS: I can't stress enough how those books I mention above are. Amazing. This film went on for months, where Steven thought he would be fired, or the crew would kill him. Trouble upon trouble. Read those books. Also when you guys watch and record yourselves you need to talk. But if you were invested like watching the movie in silence. The ending might have been more of a relief. Cause that's how we felt in the Audience. We were exhausted. It ended perfect.
