- Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel of the same name. In it, a giant man-eating great white shark attacks beachgoers on Amity Island, a fictional New England summer resort town, prompting police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) to hunt it with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw). Murray Hamilton plays the mayor, and Lorraine Gary portrays Brody's wife. The screenplay is credited to Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography.
Shot mostly on location on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, Jaws had a troubled production, going over budget and past schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks often malfunctioned, Spielberg decided to mostly suggest the shark's presence, employing an ominous and minimalistic theme created by composer John Williams to indicate its impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of thriller director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures gave the film what was then an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture, on over 450 screens, accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign with a heavy emphasis on television spots and tie-in merchandise.
Considered one of the greatest films ever made, Jaws was the prototypical summer blockbuster, with its release regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history and won several awards for its music and editing. It became the highest-grossing film of all time until the release of Star Wars in 1977. Both films were pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which revolves around high box-office returns from action and adventure pictures with simple high-concept premises released during the summer in thousands of theaters and heavily advertised. It was followed by three sequels, all without Spielberg or Benchley, and many imitative thrillers. In 2001, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"
"Where do we keep the beach closed signs?"
"We never had them."
I like this little detail. This is the first time they've ever had to close the beaches.
a timeless movie that will never get old. One of my fav movies and one of the best movies ever made
In theTop 10 movies of all time
@@maxi6542 it’s my #1 favorite movie of all time
It's funny because when I start doing the quote about yelling barracuda, most people do go "huh what?"
We are kindred spirits you and I
I start low beginning th extended quote so I can yell Barracuda and turn heads then revert to somber for the "4th of July " ending. And if the person I was actually talking to doesn't get the quote I explain. The greatest time was when I did it to a cinephile and visibly blew his mind.
"a whaaaaaaat?"
“You yell barracuda, everyone says huh? What? You yell shark…we have a panic on our hands.” This line is so good Omg. The sense of foreboding it brings, for such a casual statement. Because you know, at some point, someone is going to yell shark.
We re up here right now, thinking of yelling shark at the jump bridge 😆
And someone DID yell “Shark!” ON the Fourth of July and people panicked. Of course, it helps that many did see it as well, but it’s some nice foreshadowing.
The whole film yells Shark and people everywhere were, and a lot of times still are afraid to go in the water.
Pretty much a perfect film - casting, pace, screenplay, photography, music...all pitch-perfect
Murray Hamilton was a hell of an actor.
Really he was! He played the character of Larry Vaughn to the T! Politicians like that are all across the nation.
To his defense, he was acting in the best interests of the township. Without "summer dollars", they suffer. Also, the supposed odds of getting attacked by a Shark are relatively low - so they say!
Actually, Larry Vaughn was the PERFECT example of politicians across the Country! "Turn your head and close your eyes, and the problem isn't there."
yup ….. the bastard sees dollar signs not a boogeyman in the ocean and leaving some vast careless nonsense to poor chief brody
I love when Brody spills the paint brushes
Helps to establish him as a square. As does all the "problems" of the citizens of Amity.
People "karating" a picket fence is the height of his problems.
Shows you how out of depth he and the populace are when it comes to the "shark problem".
It was a genuine goof. That's why it cuts so quickly because he broke character after it happened. Spielberg liked it so much, he kept it in.
@@daustin8888 because kreese ordered them to remove lurusso fence to prevent painting
My favorite movie of all time directed by my favorite director of all time.
Jaws will take care of floriduh idiots who don’t social distance. Hopefully
I live in Florida like right next to a beach, and there is hardly anyone ever there
And now you dems want to force vaccine mandates on us against our will and that is wrong
This was before I was pro DeSantis. I didn't know much about him at the time. I love this guy. Hes done a great job after I did some research. He cares about his citizens unlike Newsome or Cuomo
Was this a joke?? 4 years later you realize how asinine it was to close ANYTHING?? 😂😂
Kid: *Gets bullied*
Teacher: 5:15
Kid: *fights back*
Teacher: 5:21
You'll notice the Mayor has a "Vaughn Realty" sign on his car. Him being the Mayor and also being a realtor is a clever detail.
"Amity is a summer town... We need summer dollars" right off the bat I knew that mayor was up to no good lol
I love how the mayor pulls up on Brody with his whole crew
And Hendricks is blocked off, unable to help him.
Larry's "Okay you can take us back now" at 5:27 is a great detail. The mayor and his gang were never intending to use the ferry to cross over, only using it to confront Brody about his beach closing decision.
I was watching Master Pancake Theater riff this movie and I can never look at this scene without thinking of the song they played with it. It matched so perfectly. If you play George Benson - "On Broadway" at 1:50 as Roy Scheider is walking it's amazing! It will put you in a good mood.
What is great about the scene on the ferry is that it was done in one long, continuous shot. As the dialog ramped up, Spielberg used clever blocking to make it seem as if we just watched a scene with several shots cut together. The camera stays in one place while the actors changed the framing with their bodily movements. It begins wide with all the actors, then the actors' movement created a medium shot, then by the time we reach the famous "You yell shark" line, we are in a beautifully framed CU of just Brody and Vaughn. The actors had to know all their lines and all their physical movements for the entire length of the scene; no cutting away to close-ups, etc. No doubt the confines of the ferry was the mother of invention, but it's great filmmaking.
Another long, continuous shot in the film is when Brody and Hooper argue with Vaughn in front of the vandalized billboard. The blocking, camera work, actors, directing, everything is spot-on. It's a beautiful piece of filming. I would guess that shots such as these, while tricky to pull off, allow an actor to deepen their character.
Brody: "Let Polly do the printing."
Henricks: "What's the matter with my printing?"
Brody: "LET POLLY DO THE PRINTING."
Man, the dialogue in this movie is fantastic. 😄
MY FAVORITE ALL TIME LINE
People often criticize the mayor for not closing the beach after the first attack, but he has some justification for his actions. There are real world examples of beaches that have had nearly 100 shark attacks and they are still open. Also him not closing the beach after the first bite isn’t bad, the odds of 2 separate shark attacks happening on the same beach within a day or 2 are incredibly slim and even slimmer for both to be fatal. He didn’t even need to label it as a boating accident, just let people know that there was a shark attack and warn them to take caution
“A summer girl goes swimming, swims out a little far, she tires, fishing boat comes along” “it’s happened before” I wonder if all those other “boating accidents” were actually old Brucie getting comfortable off the Shores of Amity.
Possible. Although if the fan theory is correct that the major did bribe the doctor to say it was a boat, he must have done it the other times. So wouldn't the doctor be quick to say it was a boat to Brody on the phone?
Around 4:50, when the ME tells Brody that they need to amend the report. I love his reaction - he immediately knows it's bullshit.
Who ever knew that in 1975 we would really have a problem with Great White Sharks within Massachusetts coast lines.
I use to swim 100 yards out at Race Point P/Town with my wife screaming for me to get back to shore. The only problem I ever had was swimming with schools of Blue Fish.
Scary, but I made it back.
If only I knew when I was 29yrs old there were bigger fish that would take more then my toe!
Drones would be helpful for life guard stations now to track sharks in order to keep the public safe.
Just a thought....
My most favorite movie of my life! Love it and watch it all the time.
Been to most of the film locations on Martha's Vineyard.
It’s funny really. The storyline of this movie is so good that it’s easy to ignore the fake shark.
1:27 my mother who was born in the 1960s recalls how in primary and high school she had to use typewriters and good luck if you struck the wrong key .... 😮😮😮
Just spent the last several days in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. A lot of the places shot in this clip was just yards from my hotel. What a treat.
This entire sequence sums up everything you need to know about Martin Brody.
The GREATEST shark movie EVER. So many scripted & adlibed lines still used today. Sean- But the pond is for old ladies. Brody- Well just do it for the old man. Gold. I have got all the LTD Edition dvds. But I still watch it when it is on Foxtel. I you want to get a book about Jaws get Memories from Martha's Vineyard. The Jaws book to end all Jaws books. 🦈🦈🦈.
1:08 outdated stuff off my desk ... ah yes 1975 long before our Macs and Iphones
Change the words: -Barracuda- Flu -Shark- Covid. "It's all psychological..."
Careful you'll short circuit some brains with that one
😆
2:44 Such a little funny moment
Polly is underrated.
Jaws is underrated.
@@aha3885 you’re wrong
She annoyed me. She acted like she was the one in charge and Brody worked for her
Rooting for the shark. 🎅👻📼
Yeah rite, The sharks hungry lol
“Chief Brodys Office?”
Peer pressure and groupthink at their worst.
Here something y'all didn't know when chief Brody is talking to his deputy if you look closely behind them you can see a woman in the window taking pictures with her camera
The way they say "it's happened before" makes it seem like the shark has been around Amity before...
He means a boating accident has happened before.
@Lyndon CMP yes..."boating accident."
@@elder-woodsilverstein7716 You mean Amity residents lost their firearms?
@@thejackal5099 No, they were also attacked by the shark.
To think 🦀 🦀 🦀 are making a meal outta Chrissie 😮😮😮
We are at Chapps Ferry right now. Not much has changed but there is a different ferry.
People like to bash Mayor Larry Vaughn but you got to look at it from his perspective. He’s the mayor of a town who’s economy thrives on summer tourism and closing the beaches although it’s for safety, will damage Amity’s economy especially during the 4th of July.
I get the mayor & the town board are freaking out bc the town only survives on their summer renters who spend a lot of money so much that by Sept to may they can live off that money. If the renters go somewhere else their town is literally starving. But of course the mayor was an idiot bc he made it worse when the whole beach saw the shark & kill a child. I'd think the renters went screaming & the reputation of that beach town I'm sure was ruined. Esp after they knew a young woman was killed & did nothing. How can u trust that town about anything ? So I guess by them paying up quint & showing proof they hoped to salvage july & Aug but they closed the beaches & w/o the swimming people may have went home. So the mayor being scared about the news getting out actually made things so much worse esp a little boy losing his life. U can bet that mom filed a law suit against the town as well. Although I dont know if law suits were a big thing in 1975. I always hated that the boys mom slapped brody & not the mayor.
The greedy ass mayor should've went with them to kill the shark and he should've been eaten by the shark instead of Quint
What the mayor meant to say was Brody I'm the mayor im overriding you, the beaches stay open and I make money. End of story.
hey kids this is a classic...ask ur parents
There are two monsters in this movie. Shark obviously. And the inability of the Mayor to accept this threat. This mayor isn’t evil...actually he’s quite common. And this wonderful story can be applied to so many other.....Monsters! SERE US Airforce.class of 8501. In 1975 this movie scared the shit out of me! Later swimming in the pacific under survival situations.....we saw a huge fish beneath us! Ocean Sunfish. Thank God I knew.....the others? Scared the shit of them! This movie deals with primal fear. Being eaten alive! No chance of survival. It just enough to swim...let alone dealing with a large predator...that’s quite at home.
Just found out a few minutes ago that Alex Kitner is one of the drummers in the parade
Jeffrey Voorhees who played Alex was a local of Martha’s Vineyard (Jaws was his only acting role) and he just happened to be the scene. The filmmakers noticed that and since Alex hadn’t been killed yet, they decided to keep the scene in.
Classic.
Look at the cinematography. Wow.
Wes Anderson ripped off Spielberg in a way
No, no, _hands_ NOT "hand's"
I love Brody
4:28 They'll swim in eachothers blood once Jaws gets them
You need help
Visit Amity 😃
😂😅 Classic.
Question, (and don't be rude with the answers, please) the guy in the rowboat at 3:27, who's supervising the boy scouts, isn't he the same guy who gets killed later in the film in the pond?
I think you may be right
I personally don't think it's the same character.
No.
There really were karate schools back then?
Not the full movie.
2:44
