I actually know a PHD holder in real life who thinks he is an expert in everything (even subjects he didnt study in school/college). He will argue and argue with anyone and everyone until he has the last word.
Really wish I could’ve seen this masterpiece of a film in theaters, especially this particular scene just to hear the audience’ reaction to Quint telling off Hooper. It’s such a deep burn, and really shows the difference between intelligence vs. wisdom. Hooper sees himself as the expert and the most educated of the 3 and up to this point thinks of Quint as just another redneck fisherman, but Quint quickly brings Hooper back down to Earth with his retort and humbles him with his experience and shows that he ain’t no slouch either. Such a great movie.
I was fortunate to have been in the theatre to see it. I was 11 when it came out and every person in there cheered at the end. Unforgetable and I am still afraid of sharks.
I remember seeing it in 1975. The audience laughed when Quint said "Don't have enough education to admit when you're wrong." Then they laughed at Hooper's F U gesture.
Another gentleman commented earlier about the scene describing the discovery of Ben Gardner's boat...I can distinctly recall even at the age of 10 the entire theatre yelled when that barren White fleshy skull dropped in with a permanent wink...I recall reading somewhere that scene was shot in a swimming pool post production(?) .....still scares the crap out of me all these years later...and I know its coming!
One of the few films in history that's better than the novel and still to this day has some of the greatest acting (if you can even call it that between Robert and Richard) I've ever seen in a film.
@@Beltzer0072 I agree. Just look at the movies of today like The Meg and you will see why nobody cares about current movies anymore as they are all CGI and all forgettable. Jaws will forever be a classic as all the great elements came together - great acting, storyline and directing by the legendary Spielberg who knew how to create suspense. You don't give the audiences an overload of explosions, sharks leaping 100 hundred feet in the air snapping their chops, blood and guts every 10 seconds, nope, what you need is to MAKE the audience FEEL the fear from inside, FEEL the emotions of the characters and Jaws manages to do that, and that is WHY it will forever be a timeless classic.
It still boggles the mind that Spielberg didn't get nominated Best Director. Are they kidding me? This is not only his best directing job, but one of the best directed films ever.

Robert Shaw was such a good actor - watch him as Doyle Lonnegan in The Sting which was made just 18 months prior to this and it's hard to believe that it's the same person playing the two characters.
I know! Same here! I love how he moved quickly and completely horizontally behind Brody just to continue making faces at Quint through the window and to stay within the camera frame. And don't you just love him making extra vigorous facial movements behind the window -- ramping up his very clear contempt for Quint every step he took up the ladder and until out of sight? 😂
The fact is is that Quint (Robert Shaw) was right!!! Unless it’s a shark it wouldn’t have chewed through 300lb piano wire or the steel leader. It was not fishing line it was the leader! Quint used Dacron white fishing line on a Penn Senator 16/0 with piano wire as leader!
CityHunter769 ..love that, I’m here because I’m going fishing next week in Tenerife, targeting tuna with the chance of a Mako. I’ll just be doing as I’m told.
Its either the actual shark JAWS or other shark.. no way it could be anything else.. unless it's a big ass stingray.. but I don't think that would be very likely it have to be a really really big string ray.
The rabbit goes in the hole, then around the tree, then back around, then he goes out on the limb, eats a few berries, then comes down the tree, back in the hole. Not so easy is it chief.
The beauty in this movie is you have a rag tag team of heroes trying to accomplish an everyday feat. That's why I love america, people can be who they are and all come together to accomplish something.
Uh no he was wrong. That was the shark not a stingray. It bit through the line. Quint liked to mess with the shark before he caught them. Unfortunately for him he messed with the wrong one.
1:17, Given that Quint and Hooper's actors didn't like each other in real life I honestly wonder if that was in the script or if that was genuine mocking
Lexxi Starr he grew a beard and his hair was longer to made him look older as few years prior he was in American Graffiti and was clean shaved and looked younger.
@John Cornell And he heard Dreyfuss saying stuff like "why am I here? I should be being feted in Paris" took himself too seriously thought too highly of himself
@@infowolf1 "Jaws" was Dreyfus's first really big film. He was an up-and-coming young actor at the time, and apparently had a real "star" attitude. Robert Shaw was a veteran of decades in the acting business, and had done Shakespeare on stage. He felt that Richard badly needed taken down a notch or two.
Quint proves nothing. He caught nothing. Everybody is going all testosterone overload. Hooper has a point. The busted piano wire doesn't prove a Goddamn thing.
FUN FACT: The actor who played Hooper and the actor who played Quinn DID NOT GET ON during the shooting of JAWS, they'd regularly have arguments and confrontations just before 'Action' was yelled.
Richard Dreyfuss has explained that at the time he thought Shaw was just a jerk, but since then he's come to understand why Shaw was always so hostile towards him. The two characters don't like each other, and Shaw wanted to create a genuine tension and animosity between them that would come out on screen, and it definitely worked. He didn't understand it at the time, but now he sees that Shaw was a great actor who knew how to get the best out of other actors he worked with.
I'd imagine that they did eventually get along, esp after they shot the scene where they compare their injuries -- it's clear that Quint has a lot more respect for Hooper after that (like when Quint suggests Hooper try to kill the shark with the equipment he brought) and it probably showed itself offscreen too.
Interesting its also a reference to the novel scene where Hooper and Quint argue about ethics of fishing such as behind the Porpoise dolphin fetus incident or when Hooper tells Quint clearly the Shark wasnt play by any rules
Liberals Vs Conservatives in a nutshell. Hooper is the educated city dwelling liberal who just believes what he was taught, Quint is the is the rural, blue collar conservative who uses his intuition which he gained through decades of experience.
Quints reel Gear ratio must be equal to Dr.Whos Tardis ...shark runs and runs so much he feels the need to cool the line ...four or five cranks on the reel and the wire leader is showing???
James Cunningham that reel is a 3:6:1 reel it only turns 15 to 20 inches per crank of the handle it’s very slow compared to most reels today that are 6:1.
As a kid I thought Hooper cut the wire causing them to fly backwards due to the strength of the shark on the other side but nope. Bruce just bit through the wire. *How did I miss that?*
It's possible they both are right. Could have a game fish on the line then shark swallows the fish breaking the line. It's really tough to say. One the one hand, if it had been a 25 foot great white, given that the shark later tears off the cleats of the boat and is able to dive with 3 barrels that there's no way any man with any rod and reel is able to contend with such a shark for even a second. On the other hand, nothing but a shark breaks that line.
"You have city hands, Mr. Hooper. You been countin' money all your life."
hey i don't need this working man hero class crap. besides the shark is gonna eat you and these city hands are gonna swim home.

It's really tough to say. One the one hand, if it had been a 25 foot great white, given that the shark later tears off the cleats of the boat and is able to dive with 3 barrels that there's no way any man with any rod and reel is able to contend with such a shark for even a second. On the other hand, nothing but a shark breaks that line.
Thank you
