    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    The crew gets their first face-to-face look at the massive shark.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Based on Peter Benchley's best-selling novel, Steven Spielberg's 1975 shark saga set the standard for the New Hollywood popcorn blockbuster while frightening millions of moviegoers out of the water. One early summer night on fictional Atlantic resort Amity Island, Chrissie decides to take a moonlight skinny dip while her friends party on the beach. Yanked suddenly below the ocean surface, she never returns. When pieces of her wash ashore, Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) suspects the worst, but Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton), mindful of the lucrative tourist trade and the approaching July 4th holiday, refuses to put the island on a business-killing shark alert. After the shark dines on a few more victims, the Mayor orders the local fishermen to catch the culprit. Satisfied with the shark they find, the greedy Mayor reopens the beaches, despite the warning from visiting ichthyologist Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) that the attacks were probably caused by a far more formidable Great White. One more fatality later, Brody and Hooper join forces with flinty old salt Quint (Robert Shaw), the only local fisherman willing to take on a Great White--especially since the price is right. The three ride off on Quint's boat "The Orca," soon coming face to teeth with the enemy.

    Fun fact:
    When they test screened this in Dallas, the audience was so shocked by the sharks sudden appearance that they were still screaming when Brody says “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Spielberg didn’t want anyone to miss out on that line so they extended the scene slightly from when the shark pops out to when Brody talks to Quint. Just long enough for the audience to calm down.

      Before shooting Jaws Spielberg asked some Hollywood studio executive of what he needed to make Jaws a success and the studio executive replied:"Cast the biggest three names in Hollywood and everybody will go and see it." The biggest actors in the mid 70's were Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Steve McQueen. With the budget Spielberg had he immediately understood there was no way he'd be able to afford those "A-listers" and also believed they were too big for (at the time) a young, no-name director called Steven Spielberg to direct even if he could have afforded *one* of them.
      Spielberg therefore said:"Scr*w it! I'm going to make this a great movie without these A-listers and choose great character actors to portray the parts." Perhaps without knowing it he inadvertently did *exactly* what all the great directors do - pick good actors for the roles rather than pick some A-lister to sell a movie.
      For the part of Martin Brody Spielberg originally wanted Joe Bologna but the producers vetoed his choice. He then offered the part to Robert Duvall who was more interested in playing Quint and tried to convince Spielberg this was a role he would better cast as. Spielberg disagreed and then shortly considered Charlton Heston but then remembered how much he had liked Roy Scheider in The French Connection and thus cast him as Brody.
      Even though Spielberg himself claims he always considered Richard Dreyfus as Matt Hooper other sources from the time of production claim Spielberg first offered the part to Jon Voight who wasn't interested to appear in a "killer shark movie". Jeff Bridges was considered for Hooper a while but in the end Richard Dreyfus said he was "instantly available" and "willing to sacrifice his days for long shoots".
      For Quint Spielberg originally saw Lee Marvin. He turned the role down. Then he wanted Sterling Hayden but he apparently had some tax problems and/or saw fishing as some "serious business" (he was a sports fisherman) and not some "movie nonsense". So Spielberg sat down with his producer and said:"Well, what about Robert Shaw?" In hindsight that was absolutely the perfect cast for Quint.

      I didn’t get that from the character. I mean, on the water isn’t everyone a little afraid of sharks? But, I always felt like after the Indianapolis, Quint had a deep seated hatred of sharks. So much so that he spent the rest of his life hunting and killing them. When the bounty on the shark fell in his lap, he thought he could put his skills to his advantage and not just for money (“I don’t want anymore of this zonin’ crap”) but to cash in AND be a hero in the process. But this shark was literally unlike anything he’d ever seen.

      @karazor-el6085 3 роки тому +6

      It builds on the terror by seeing so little of the shark for 2/3rds of the movie. The technical nightmare of the shark became a blessing in disguise, because not seeing it tapped into the primal fear of the unknown, and of not being able to see the danger until it was only a few feet from you...and by that time, there is no escape.
      The last time I saw something like that was in the trailer for THE MEG, where the final shot shows this monstrous shark coming up from below under a boat, the jaws opening wider and wider until the boat looked like it was the size of a chicken nugget...and then cutting to black before the head broke the surface.
      By the time you realize you are in trouble, it has already devoured you.

      The longest great white that was ever officially recorded and verified was 19 ft 6 in.

There are undoubtedly great whites bigger than that but none have ever been accurately measured.

    I had the honor of attending a Master Acting class at Franklin & Marshall College. It was taught by Roy Scheider. Basically, it was a Q&A. To my absolute joy, mine was the first question he took. A male student: "I love theatre, but I find it hard to memorize my lines. I play ball with the guys; I go out with my girl friend. How do you find the time when you're busy?" Scheider: "What was that you said about theatre?" The guy: "I love theatre." Scheider: "No, you don't. Next." Afterwards, I was in the lobby. I bumped into the person standing behind me. I turned to apologize. I'm 5'6". The gray-haired top of this person's head came to my shoulder. I looked at him, ready to apologize. It was Roy Scheider! We talked for almost half an hour! I was barely functional the rest of the day. I'm not ashamed to say, I cried the day he died. He had no ego. He was just a down-to-earth guy oozing charisma & class. I miss him.

      Sounds like the Scorpio he was. Bulldog commitment to the craft. Wait...just how tall was Roy? Thats amazing. Chicago's 1977 International film festival. Q&A between Roger Ebert and Jaws editor Verna Fields. A short full figured modest lady in black frame glasses . Coffee brown dress falling neatly above her ankles as she reclined yet postured for the mike she didn't really need. The room was about a quarter full. Being a kid of 14, I knew who she was because I actually read screen credits. I memorized the questions from her earlier interviews so I could ask in different words so I could sound smart and impress the adults. I would move from seat to seat just to be in her sight line. She went into detail about working with her husband, being a self taught editor, and working for Hitchcock. Saving shots by one frame. Inserts. pick ups. The cutaway rhythm in the Brody beach scene just before Alex Kintner was killed. How Steven was fired every day. My hand went up. Way up. I started with "...wasn't it true that Spielberg did this and the shark did that and....on and on. Ebert didn't pick me anymore after two times. But she did ! She said, " Oh no...This is great. I have a teen age son. Im used to it. Go on." What about the shark leap at Brody's chumming scene? "We had to go back and do that one right. That shot was surgery," she said. " Roy's shock reaction was shot first. No shark that day. Then we shot the shark leap two weeks later and had to match it.. Steven held out eight hours for one shot that day to get the timing right so I had room to cut it as tight as I could." Then it was over.
      I wanted to say hello and thank her for answering. Drifting to the foot of the stage, I waited...and waited. Many people around her. Then the unexpected happened. She waved me up. I froze. She wanted me to help her down the stairs. It became a walk up the isle to the lobby, holding my hand as we went. She didn't let go. She asked me what my major was in school. I said cinematography. She cupped my hand with both her hands and leaned me in close. " Thats a tough one. We need you...." She pinched the back of my hand and said "there are no black cinematographers in the union..." I was taken back at first. Then I looked around. I was the only black kid in attendance for a film editing interview with Verna Fields. And that was the vein of her advice. She took the time to explain to a zealous kid that zeal and enthusiasm wasn't enough. Insight and discernment coupled with dogged determinism ...might get you considered. The rest will take care of itself. With a pleasant brush of her hand on my cheek , she had to go. She was late. For me, she was brutally right on time.

      @@shihanUKS Neat story. Are you now in film? Did it really matter what your skin color was in the room? It didn't matter to you until she made you aware of your color. We are individuals with ideas of the mind, color matters not. Sorry, I'm a kid of the same generation as you, I guess I'm growing wary of all the woke bullshine forced fed into my children who are now the same age as we were then. We were free... they are becoming slaves. We should make a film about that... no comedy that one.

If you truly love theatre, you sacrifice a lot. I have a degree in Drama & have been in a lot of plays. Trust me, I know the sacrifice.

    Thank god the shark kept breaking down during filming. That's the only reason we don't see it in it's entirety until this far into the film. Spielberg originally wanted to show the shark a lot more during the film but because it kept breaking down, he decided to go with a Hitchcockian approach. By not showing the shark until this point made this scene all the more brilliant. That's great filmmaking!

      bigleaguechew87 With a rather small budget of around 9 million, having your mechanized star of the show constantly malfunctioning isn't a surprise.
      And even with these setbacks, it became one of the most iconic stars in horror movies!

    46 years later, a master piece. It is the best movie I have ever seen.The characters were exactly what they had to be. The story was exactly what it had to be. The soundtrack was exactly what it had to be. The Orca was exactly what it had to be. The fact to hide the shark until that scene instead of showing him since the very beginning was exactly what had to be done...
    Spielberg is hell of a genius !!!

      Except that wasn't the way Spielberg had planned to make the film. His mechanical shark was so balky and keep breaking down that he had no choice but to show it very sparingly. He said it was dumb luck. And boy was it!
