Brody wasn't about to argue or defend himself with a grieving mother. He graciously kept his mouth shut and allowed her to vent. He also knew that he could have fought harder against the mayor and the businesspeople to close the beach
Yep. It’s why I like Brody so much as a character. He doesn’t shirk responsibility but he’s also not a grandstander. A lot of people want him to punch out the mayor or some such after Brad’s kid almost dies, but instead he just pushes the mayor to do the right thing.
I lived in a summer resort community once. The locals knew that if they had been so callous that they wanted to leave the beaches open when a shark was eating people, the vacationing public would have hated them. It would have morphed into a big press scandal that would have gotten out of control.
I would rate it as the greatest movie monologue of all time. It's the moment when you realise that this film isn't just some dumb "creature feature" but rather a modern retelling of Moby Dick with Quint as Ahab and a Great White shark as his white whale.
Every reactor I've seen who has watched this movie has been utterly spooked by Quint's Indianapolis story. Even today, nearly 50 years after the movie came out, I still get chills hearing Quint's monologue.
9:08 The shark went for the kid on the raft, cuz in the shark's mind, the raft makes the kid look like a bigger sea animal compared to other kids. The shark doesn't know it's a raft.
@@michaeldavid6284Both of you are wrong. The Kitner kid was attacked because it was in the script and Bruce, the shark, wanted to do sequels.😅 Actually there were 3 sharks.
rafts, surfboards etc with splashing limbs look like seals and big fish to sharks from underneath. sharks don't see colour well at all, mostly seeing in black and white to grey so from underneath it just looks like a distressed seal or something (a grey splashing mass with a chunk rounded middle). wearing certain colours can help because they are able to see contrast quite well even if they can't really distinguish the actual colour at low lightlevels
The scene when they are examining Ben Gardner’s beat-up fishing boat, and Hooper pulls a shark tooth the size of a shot glass out of the hole in the hull -- just as Ben Gardner’s mutilated head suddenly appears -- is one of the greatest jump-scares of all time!
And filmed after the movie was basically done. Spielberg felt that scene needed something more. It was filmed in a backyard pool and they added something in the pool water to make it murky....
39:10 Crazy thing about the USS _Indianapolis_ story is that it wasn't in the novel of _Jaws,_ it was only written for the movie. And the reason is because the U.S. government had not declassified the story yet when the book was published, so it was still top secret. But by the time, they made the movie, the story got declassified and became public. So, _Jaws_ (being the highest grossing film of all time when it came out) became the primary vehicle in which the public even learned about the story of the USS _Indianapolis_ on a wide scale. Chief was looking at his scar from when he had his appendix removed @38:44. But he didn't think it was a cool enough story to share.
That whole scene almost didn't make it into the movie. The first shooting of it was really bad, as the Quint actor was rather smashed during filming. The next day he went back, not smashed, asked if they could do it again, and that's the one you see in the movie.
@@tvdroid22 They actually used parts of both takes. Marcia Lucas did such a great job that it's really hard to tell what part of the scene is from which take.
@@benschultz1784 Marcia Lucas (George's first wife) didn't edit _Jaws,_ she edited the first _Star Wars._ Verna Fields edited _Jaws._ You're probably confusing the two cuz both Marcia Lucas and Verna Fields edited George Lucas's first big movie _American Graffiti._ Marcia Lucas also edited _Taxi Driver._
"who do you think is in the water... NEMO?!" 🤣😅😂 that is THE BEST LINE i have EVER heard about this movie! 😆 SO GLAD you finally watched this, LOVED your reaction! 👍😁
The reason they refer to it as a pond, even though it isn't is because of the state of the water in that area. Not only is it in a little cul de sac shape, but the water there is very calm and shallow as opposed to the rest of the open water/ ocean. Love your reactions by the way, so glad you reacted to this masterpiece. Such a classic film that will never get old along with Quint's amazing monologue 😈
We have similar bodies of water here in my home, called Tidal Ponds. They’re landlocked at low tide, but part of the ocean at high tide. Very fun for finding different types of aquatic life at low tides
In the summer of 74 my family and I were on vacation and stumbled onto the making of this movie on Martha's Vineyard. I saw part of the shark, Quint's shack and a shite load of extras. I was 14 years old at the time and had no idea we were seeing the making of a classic.
One of the two kids with the fake shark fin is now the Police Chief of the area that played Amity Island" "Several decades after the film's release, Lee Fierro walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed an "Alex Kintner Sandwich" on the menu. She commented that she had played his mother many years ago. Jeffrey Voorhees, manager of the restaurant, ran out to meet her. He had played her son, and they hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot"
10:42 What the _"24 hours is like 3 weeks"_ statement actually means is that for every 24 hours in which summer tourists can't go to the beach will result in a loss of 3 weeks income for the small business owners of Amity Island. Remember as the mayor said, Amity is a summer town in which all the residents' livelihoods depend almost entirely on the summer tourism, much like Cape Cod, Massachusetts or Cape May, New Jersey. It wasn't meant to be an exaggeration of how long a day without the beach feels. And it's a summer holiday to boot. Closing on or around July 4th, up north in a beach town? Where the movie was filmed (Martha's Vineyard), the year-round population is close to 23,000, and in the summer there can be as many as 200,000 people on the Island. That's a lot of dough you simply can't make up the rest of the year.
A damaged reputation is even harder to recover from. The TV newspeople are already out there beaming their story all over the northeast. A perfect damned if you do and damned if you don't dilema.
17:12 Fun Fact: Several years after filming "Jaws" this woman (Mrs. Kintner) was in a seafood restaurant and she saw on the menu that there was an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She told the waiter that she had played Alex Kintner's mother in the film. A few minutes later the waiter returned to the table with the owner of the restaurant...the man was the guy who played her son in the movie. It was the first time they had seen each other since 1975.
The Shark was supposed to die from the wounds suffered in the hunt.Steven Spielberg wanted the rousing ending. The Shark's head was filled with paint and fish guts and two kegs of Dynamite. The explosion went off like a charm. The audience stood and cheered. It was what made Jaws the first summer blockbuster!
Remarkably, Quint’s speech about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is a historical fact. It really happened! His vivid description of the tragedy that resulted 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 wanted to secure the bounty and reward for killing the Great White, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge - or perhaps personal redemption - for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by killing the man-eating shark himself.
@@mikefoster6018 Wrong. According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), between 1958 and 2016 there were 2,785 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 439 were fatal. Between 2001 and 2010, an average of 4.3 people per year died from shark attacks.
@@mikefoster6018 Even if that were the case, the sharks would have fed on the bodies of the people who died from other causes, especially if they were drifting in life preservers (dehydration, shrapnel, etc.). I'm pretty sure the primary species was Oceanic Whitetips, but Tiger sharks are also in tropical waters and can mix in with them. Oceanic whitetips are maneaters when in open water, and they feed in schools unlike Great Whites. As Quint says, "the sharks took the rest" of the bodies left behind, you can be sure of that if you understand shark behavior. Like any predator, an easy meal is better than having to waste energy and risk trying to hunt something challenging. Floating bodies at sea are easy prey for Whitetips and Tigers.
There is actually part of Quint's story that is not true. He thinks it's true no SOS was sent but that's not the case. A rescue message WAS sent. Three naval listening posts picked it up but for a few different reasons either ignored it or in one case did nothing. The US Navy hid this from the public and blamed the Capt. It wasn't until a kid was doing a report in the 80's about the sinking that he found the now declassified reports. He brought this in accuracy to the press and Congress and the Captain was cleared. Unfortunately this was years after the Captain took his own life.
The story Quint told about the USS Indianapolis was true. Over 1000 men went into the water and fewer than 400 were rescued. The sharks may not have taken all the rest. Some may have died of shock, dehydration, suicide, or drinking salt water. No one really knows the exact count of how each man died. Sharks certainly took some.😮😢
@@mikefoster6018 How do we know even an estimate. Did the sharks keep count? Maybe the estimates came from bodies recovered and autopsied plus accounts from survivors. Probably all the above. 😮
@RobertJ-vo4bk it's a movie, not a documentary. There's going to be some license taking, but the basic story is true. There's also a comment on here from someone saying they were on that ship, I tend to believe that particular comments.
Check out the book; In Harms Way. My mom had a copy, so I had it on a trip we took to northern michigan. As it happened, a theatre at a town on Lake Michigan we were visiting was playing Jaws
Still holds up as an amazing film after 50 years. The model shark used in the film was nicknamed Bruce, after Steven Spielberg's attorney Bruce Ramer.🦈🦈
"It's only an island if you look at it from the water.." The film that started the boom in the interest and eventually conservation of sharks as a species.
@@williamrosmer8381He never regretted writing it or the money it made him. He said he was thrilled that kids learned to love sharks because of it and he denied that he ruined sharks. He said that was a nonsense accusation. All he said was that if he knew then what he later knew then he wouldn't have written it. And to be honest, the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes were far far worse for sharks than Jaws was. They killed sharks on an industrial level.
10:56 Kamilla, Quint's fingernails on the chalkboard didn't bug you at all! IMPRESSIVE!! 👍 14:18 "I would feel a little safer if we had a bigger boat..." WINNER!! 🏆
Yeah, I can watch the chalkboard scene and not be bothered by it either. But, on the opposite side of that, if someone is chewing too loud by me, I’m ready to fight.
@@SFOlson You sound like my daughter. Ever since she was little she couldn't stand the sound of someone chewing gum. Whenever I was bored I'd grab several sticks of gum or better yet bubblegum, and go to chewing around her. I also liked to chew gum when she was in the car and couldn't escape. Hmmm did that make me a bad father🤔? My daughter is 34 now and we are very close, though every now and then I'll grab some gum and start chewing. She usually laughs and calls me an ass....a 77 year old ass.😅
3:52 and even more than the violence of chrissy's attack... the silence and the way the ocean wipes away any evidence of chrissy's last moments on this earth.
Agree. Totally different film on the big screen. Seen it on the big screen lots of times. A favourite was at the Royal Albert Hall in London with the BBC orchestra playing the score live in front of a massive screen. A capacity 5,000 audience was there.
I was always under the impression that it was a bullet wound, and that that was why he moved his family to Amity. IDK whether there's any confirmation either way in the book or the director's notes, though.
@@akinpaws I don't remember anything about that in the book but for the movie I always thought it had something to do with an injury on duty and why he left NYPD.
I'm always struck by how multi-talented Robert Shaw was. He started as a stage actor and did extraordinary Shakespearean performances. Shifting to the screen, he was incredible as King Henry VIII in the film version of “A Man for All Seasons". Today he’s most widely known for his charismatic portrayal of Quint here. (Incidentally, about his charisma: see "The Sting", starring Shaw, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Newman and Redford are two of the most charismatic actors ever -- yet it’s Shaw who commands our attention.) This is already an impressive résumé. But what really astounds me is that acting wasn't his main thing. He was primarily a novelist and playwright. A very serious one, too. One of his plays, "The Man in the Glass Booth" -- based on his own novel of the same name -- was a hit in 1968 both in London and on Broadway. Its about a man who is either a Jewish businessman pretending to be a Nazi war criminal, or a Nazi war criminal pretending to be a Jewish businessman. (That's Wikipedia's description, and it's pretty accurate.) The play became a film, and it's very impressive work. A subtle, incisive look at questions of identity in the wake of massive trauma. Admirably, Shaw doesn't take the easy way out. He doesn't oversimplify. Instead, he digs deep into layer upon layer of moral issues that have no clear answer. Remarkable man. I can’t think of anyone else with such a breadth and depth of talent, charisma, and intelligence. He died aged 51. Way, way, way too young.
I had to laugh when the group of fishermen were headed out and you said "Wouldn't it be safer with a bigger boat", my mind went right to when Brody was chumming for the shark and Jaws pops up and said virtually the same line you used.
@ The 28:37 minute mark, the word 'Pond' in that context refers to the other side of that beach (the non-Atlantic side) which is a sort of enclosed inlet, so the water is calmer on that side. One side of the beach faces East to the open Atlantic Ocean, and I suppose that the other side of the beach faces West, and is mostly an enclosed inlet (but fed by the main Ocean), but they nick-named that inlet side, the 'pond'. The West facing 'pond' side of the beach usually doesn't show an open ocean, as there is typically adjoined land a very short distance away within swimming distance.
@@FloridaMugwump - This is also true. I was just trying to provide some context for Centane to help her understand. I live on the US East Coast (NYC), and also visit/stay in the Hamptons area of LI during the warm months, and there are areas like what I described. Same goes for what you described as well. Cheers!!
@fidel2xl I grew up on a tidal river in Maine so I threw that in . Our town was a replica of this town. We had an area like this called "the basin." The fresh water is another reason that they call it a pond, a it's relevant
"My KIDS were on that beach, too...." And yet the Mayor bullies a counsilman to take HIS family into the water... But this is coming from a Mayor that wore a suit to the beach! "The Indianapolis" is a true account.
The council man was complicit in the cover up. He gets out of the car on the little ferry at the beginning and is sitting at the desk in the town council meeting. He was part of the problem. The mayor is not wrong for telling him to set an example.
IMO, the most frightening scene is the first attack. As children we were afraid of the dark. When you add a ravenous shark you don't see, well the fear factor is multiplied.😮
The pond scene was filmed in Sengekontacket Pond on Martha's Vineyard, so they kept the pond reference in the movie. There is a different bridge there now but it still basically looks the same, as do most of the other Martha's Vineyard locations.
I smiled when Kamilla(hope I spelled that right) said "I would feel a little safer if we had a bigger boat. When my brother and I were kids when Brody said...We're gonna need a bigger boat"" we would say.. Or a smaller shark."
I'll never forget the series of pictures I saw in a magazine in Miami, Florida. The pictures were taken by the pilot of a small plane that flew advertising banners along the beaches of South Florida. The pictures showed sharks within feet of people, some on rafts. The pilot said he tried to warn people but they just waved back. He decided to take the pictures instead to show people what was swimming with them.😮
I once saw a picture, probably taken from a drone, showing a busy beach, probably a few hundred people. And, maybe two hundred yards away was a huge school of sharks. Probably several hundred. They appeared to be completely ignoring the people. Apparently, I didn't save it. I've looked for it several times since, but I can't find a search phrase that will bring it up. Apparently, there are usually sharks near people swimming at the beach. But, we don't look nor sound like seals, their most common food around US shores. And, we're probably big enough that they don't want to risk injury by attacking us. Few are as large as the shark in the movie. They won't attack unless something else is going on. Like a feeding frenzy. Or, sometimes people in black wet suits can look a lot like a seal. Many scuba divers will receive only a single bite. When the person doesn't feel nor taste right, the shark lets go and swims away.
@@MightyDrakeC I grew up in Miami and spent a great deal of time at the beach. My friends and I used to snorkel out to a sandbar off Crandon Park Beach. Every now and then we'd come across some nurse sharks. They are basically harmless even though they can get quite large. We all basically ignored one another.
Jaws is one of the best movies ever made, hands down. It's one of those movies that I ALWAYS can't help but sit down to watch when it come on AMC or TBS or whatever. It's usually my wife flipping through the channels and landing on Jaws... then I can hear it from the other room... I guess it's time to watch Jaws... again.
In June 1973, I went thru hurricane Bernice off the Acapulco coast. 36 foot trimaran sailboat. 4 POB. 36 hours of bouncing like a cork. 75 MPH winds. We had seen about a dozen sharks every day, circling up behind the boat. Foremast blown out. Main halyard fouled. Steering snapped. Water in the bilge up over the spark plugs. Line overboard wound tight around the prop. No sea anchor. Another storm about 48 hours behind. Now 77, watching Jaws is a "trip".
The happy music is because this is not a pure horror movie, but more of an adventure movie. Then the others can say what they want. Great recation.. :)
@@highcountrydelatite Uh, no. Just Google the question "Was Jaws the first film ever filmed on a real ocean?" And you'll see. Cone on. This stuff is easy to check.
Besides being the movie that made Steven Spielberg world famous, this is also the movie that first brought great fame to John Williams; his only previous movie work had been adapting the Broadway score of Fiddler on the Roof for the movie version of that musical. I remember being struck when the movie came out by the way the music builds tension to a breaking point at the climax, and then, after the source of terror is destroyed in a great explosion, the music instantly changes to something very calm and reassuring. Two years later, of course, Williams would do exactly the same thing in Star Wars.
I saw this movie when I was 6 years old in 1975. rewatching and seeing the reaction of this beautiful young lady is a treat. Love her accent. My girlfriend has a Boston accent and I live closer to Hartford CT and Albany NY so sound different. Cool how an accent can make you remember people and places. Really enjoyed the reaction, thanks for posting it.
Hi Kamilla, I saw the notification earlier but was taking care of family. I so much wanted to jump in. I was in Highschool when this came out and went to see it at a Drive In it was hilarious hearing all the screaming when the head popped out of Gardner's boat 😂
I’m From & Grew Up In Miami & Spent A Lot of Time At The Beach.When I Saw This For The First Time,It Took 3 or 4 Weeks For Me To Get Back In The Water.Lol
I also grew up in Miami but was living in Forrest City, NC (the mountains)at the time. The next day I went swimming in Lake Lure and I still checked for a fin in the water.😅
This is one of about 16 films to be nominated for Best Picture (among others) and win every nominated category EXCEPT Picture (4 nominations and won 3 of them (Score, Film Editing, and Sound)), losing that category to ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. The competition that year alone was insane (apart from CUCKOO'S NEST and JAWS, you also had BARRY LYNDON, NASHVILLE, and DOG DAY AFTERNOON nominated for Picture).
Something sure to say about Steven Spielberg is that, above being a great storyteller, above being an excellent cinema crafter, he is a goddamn genius... If he says he is going to scare the hell out of you, is not just a good scare what he has for you, he's gonna create you traumas you didn't knew were possible...
21:45 he would save many sharks from being killed by uneducated over zealous fisherman looking for a bounty, by killing one shark. this is a classic, i'm glad you checked it out! great reaction! 👍
I don't know if it was intended as an inside joke but, when Michael says "the pond is for old ladies", few in the audience would have known the back story. That line was re-recorded in the studio by veteran voice actress June Foray - 57 at the time the film was made.
Centane looking beautiful and saying she doesn't look good because she didn't apply makeup 😂😂 I am proud of you, girl, now next summer watch Jaws 2!!!!!!!!!
17:12 - The kids mother does not know the mayor over ruled Chief Brody. Being the Chief of Police she holds him responsible for failing in his duty to keep the town community safe.
I love that you left a lot of Quint's lines in there... i saw this at a drive in movie theater the year it came out... scared the heck out of my 10 year old self lol
Congrats on the 90k subs! I read the Jaws book, the movie did a great job but left out a few interesting events. This movie spawned a whole shark hunting industry for sport. many a shark gave their lives to the Jaws franchise.
Shark hunting was already a popular sport. It didn't begin with Jaws. The real killers of sharks were the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes. Sharks killed because of Jaws were tiny in comparison.
In the scene where Hooper and Quint are comparing scars from shark encounters and bar fights, when Brody starts lifting his shirt he was thinking about showing off his appendectomy scar. 😆
39:19 Fun Fact: This monologue about the USS Indianapolis was only written as a three line paragraph. Robert Shaw (Quint) had a friend in his neighbourhood who actually WAS a survivor of the Indianapolis, and the story that Quint is saying is actually the story his neighbour told him.
In spite of well documented statistics of people dying from shark attacks, this motion picture single-handedly repelled many people from Americas beaches. Even I was forced into reconsidering my own attitude regarding "swimming with nature!"
Also a little true fact that when brody is reloading his gun you can see a shooting star in the background, and then during another scene straight after another shooting star drops.
Great reaction. I will never forget when I saw this in the theatre. It was the first scary movie I had ever seen. Great movie and can't wait to see you react to more.
"Quint is a little bit adorable." For some reason that made me laugh so hard. I mean about as opposite to every other person's initial reaction. But hey maybe what some people call jaded salt of the sea, some people call adorable. Love it!!! This is why I like reactions - it's kinda like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get But in all seriousness - props to you facing your fear and watching something that terrifies you. "We took it like a champ". Yes you did, yes you did! I appreciate what you said - "less is more". Great reaction!!
@@lyndoncmp5751 -- I would rate it more highly than that. It's a film that knows exactly what it wants to do, and does it with finesse. Does it have Robert Shaw? No... but then again, how many films do have Robert Shaw?
Nice review. You show much more of the movie than most reactors do. 21:31 You're right. Always thought that the "a night feeder" line was a production mistake or the production was so expensive, they just left it in rather than reshoot the scene. 41:01 Agreed, They're really stupid to get drunk at such a time.
Very nice reaction there Camilla, Robert Shaw (Quint) was a terrific actor and I hope you eventually see him in a very differnent role in THE STING with R Redford and PAUL Newman- - a film that won 7 oscars inc BEST PIC and a marvelous music score and Script that will get you hooked and what a BIG surprise at the finish -People just cheered at the end

Wow, you got most of Quint's USS Indianapolis speech in. Many reactors cut it short but it's one of the best monologues in the movies.

The reason they refer to it as a pond, even though it isn't is because of the state of the water in that area. Not only is it in a little cul de sac shape, but the water there is very calm and shallow as opposed to the rest of the open water/ ocean.
Love your reactions by the way, so glad you reacted to this masterpiece. Such a classic film that will never get old along with Quint's amazing monologue 😈
Saved my some typing. Just what I was going to say.
The refer to it as a pond because it was Sengekontacket Pond, Martha's Vineyard.
We have similar bodies of water here in my home, called Tidal Ponds. They’re landlocked at low tide, but part of the ocean at high tide. Very fun for finding different types of aquatic life at low tides
In the summer of 74 my family and I were on vacation and stumbled onto the making of this movie on Martha's Vineyard. I saw part of the shark, Quint's shack and a shite load of extras. I was 14 years old at the time and had no idea we were seeing the making of a classic.
“Just don’t be in the water then we’ll be fine, right?”
LAND SHARK!!! 🦈
That would be TREMORS 😊
@@mikealvarez2322 the first 3 seasons of ' Saturday Nt Live ' TV. it's great. no doubt dated , but great.

"Plumber...??"
Watching people react to the Ben Gardner Jump Scare is one of my guilty pleasures 😄
I love the emotional warmth of this film. The relationships feel so real and honest.
Absolutely. It really has that positive Spielberg touch you see in his other movies.
One of the two kids with the fake shark fin is now the Police Chief of the area that played Amity Island"
"Several decades after the film's release, Lee Fierro walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed an "Alex Kintner Sandwich" on the menu. She commented that she had played his mother many years ago. Jeffrey Voorhees, manager of the restaurant, ran out to meet her. He had played her son, and they hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot"
That story warmed my heart.
That is very cool!
His brother wouldn’t be named Jason by any chance?
10:42 What the _"24 hours is like 3 weeks"_ statement actually means is that for every 24 hours in which summer tourists can't go to the beach will result in a loss of 3 weeks income for the small business owners of Amity Island. Remember as the mayor said, Amity is a summer town in which all the residents' livelihoods depend almost entirely on the summer tourism, much like Cape Cod, Massachusetts or Cape May, New Jersey. It wasn't meant to be an exaggeration of how long a day without the beach feels. And it's a summer holiday to boot. Closing on or around July 4th, up north in a beach town? Where the movie was filmed (Martha's Vineyard), the year-round population is close to 23,000, and in the summer there can be as many as 200,000 people on the Island. That's a lot of dough you simply can't make up the rest of the year.
No excuses! She needs to be locked up! 😉
It's probably the most wealthy and elite community in the US!
A damaged reputation is even harder to recover from. The TV newspeople are already out there beaming their story all over the northeast. A perfect damned if you do and damned if you don't dilema.
17:12 Fun Fact: Several years after filming "Jaws" this woman (Mrs. Kintner) was in a seafood restaurant and she saw on the menu that there was an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She told the waiter that she had played Alex Kintner's mother in the film. A few minutes later the waiter returned to the table with the owner of the restaurant...the man was the guy who played her son in the movie. It was the first time they had seen each other since 1975.
The Shark was supposed to die from the wounds suffered in the hunt.Steven Spielberg wanted the rousing ending. The Shark's head was filled with paint and fish guts and two kegs of Dynamite. The explosion went off like a charm. The audience stood and cheered. It was what made Jaws the first summer blockbuster!
I preferred the death in the book. But it would have just been too anticlimactic on film.
@@AceMoonshot It would have been realistic. Steven Spielberg wanted a dramatic ending.
I was part of that original 1975 audience (I was six years old)!
"I would feel a little safer if we had a bigger boat."
😆 Chief Brody would agree with you, C.
Remarkably, Quint’s speech about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is a historical fact. It really happened! His vivid description of the tragedy that resulted 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 wanted to secure the bounty and reward for killing the Great White, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge - or perhaps personal redemption - for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by killing the man-eating shark himself.
Sort-of. In reality, the number of deaths attributed to sharks ranges from a few dozen to 150.
@@mikefoster6018 Wrong.
According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), between 1958 and 2016 there were 2,785 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 439 were fatal. Between 2001 and 2010, an average of 4.3 people per year died from shark attacks.
@@mikefoster6018 Even if that were the case, the sharks would have fed on the bodies of the people who died from other causes, especially if they were drifting in life preservers (dehydration, shrapnel, etc.). I'm pretty sure the primary species was Oceanic Whitetips, but Tiger sharks are also in tropical waters and can mix in with them. Oceanic whitetips are maneaters when in open water, and they feed in schools unlike Great Whites. As Quint says, "the sharks took the rest" of the bodies left behind, you can be sure of that if you understand shark behavior. Like any predator, an easy meal is better than having to waste energy and risk trying to hunt something challenging. Floating bodies at sea are easy prey for Whitetips and Tigers.
@@ghenry4513 What do you mean "even if that were the case"? It's expert consensus.
There is actually part of Quint's story that is not true. He thinks it's true no SOS was sent but that's not the case. A rescue message WAS sent. Three naval listening posts picked it up but for a few different reasons either ignored it or in one case did nothing.
The US Navy hid this from the public and blamed the Capt. It wasn't until a kid was doing a report in the 80's about the sinking that he found the now declassified reports. He brought this in accuracy to the press and Congress and the Captain was cleared.
Unfortunately this was years after the Captain took his own life.
The story Quint told about the USS Indianapolis was true. Over 1000 men went into the water and fewer than 400 were rescued. The sharks may not have taken all the rest. Some may have died of shock, dehydration, suicide, or drinking salt water. No one really knows the exact count of how each man died. Sharks certainly took some.😮😢
Well the dead from other causes were most likely gotten by sharks as well.
Sort-of. In reality, the number of deaths attributed to sharks ranges from a few dozen to 150.
@@mikefoster6018 How do we know even an estimate. Did the sharks keep count? Maybe the estimates came from bodies recovered and autopsied plus accounts from survivors. Probably all the above. 😮
@RobertJ-vo4bk it's a movie, not a documentary. There's going to be some license taking, but the basic story is true. There's also a comment on here from someone saying they were on that ship, I tend to believe that particular comments.
Check out the book; In Harms Way. My mom had a copy, so I had it on a trip we took to northern michigan. As it happened, a theatre at a town on Lake Michigan we were visiting was playing Jaws
Still holds up as an amazing film after 50 years. The model shark used in the film was nicknamed Bruce, after Steven Spielberg's attorney Bruce Ramer.🦈🦈
"I would feel a lot safer if we had a bigger boat" that's amazing
Robert Shaw's performance is amazing, the fact that he was drinking and or drunk during filming makes it even better.
Was he?
@strangeclouds7 yes, he had a pretty bad drinking problem.
Overexaggerated myth Im afraid. Shaw only got totally drunk ONE day. Nobody in the cast or crew have ever said Shaw was drunk all the time.
One of England's greatest actors!!🏴
Marvelous actor. Everything I’ve ever seen him in, he was great.
15:41 - "Maaan, this shark got FRAMED!" Hahahaha, that made me laugh so hard while on my elliptical, head tilted back and all!
😂😂
'The crunch!'
You might even say.....the captain crunch
I hear it's rather bad for the teeth. All that sugar....no, wait....Quint was not sweet at all. He was bitter.
That's terrible! Dad joke.
You're out of line, but you're right
Eww
@@Stogie2112Yeah, the shark probably said “jeez, that guy tasted like a pile of Salvation Army clothes in a garbage bag!”
I think Quint suffered from survivors dilemma and giving him a latent death wish and why he took such extreme chances.
"Survivor's Guilt," and you're right.
He was also a classic case of Captain Ahab revenge disorder.
@@Stogie2112 never did read that.
Michael didn't get attacked because he was perfectly still. If he had started swimming he would have attracted the attention of the shark.😮
or maybe because the shark had a full man in his belly already
@videostash413 I thought the guy was just an appetizer.🤔
"It's only an island if you look at it from the water.."
The film that started the boom in the interest and eventually conservation of sharks as a species.
peter benchley regretted writing it because it caused an increase in shark deaths. maybe later it changed, but immediatly it made the problem worse.
@@williamrosmer8381He never regretted writing it or the money it made him. He said he was thrilled that kids learned to love sharks because of it and he denied that he ruined sharks. He said that was a nonsense accusation.
All he said was that if he knew then what he later knew then he wouldn't have written it.
And to be honest, the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes were far far worse for sharks than Jaws was. They killed sharks on an industrial level.
10:56 Kamilla, Quint's fingernails on the chalkboard didn't bug you at all! IMPRESSIVE!! 👍
14:18 "I would feel a little safer if we had a bigger boat..." WINNER!! 🏆
Yeah, I can watch the chalkboard scene and not be bothered by it either. But, on the opposite side of that, if someone is chewing too loud by me, I’m ready to fight.
@@SFOlson You sound like my daughter. Ever since she was little she couldn't stand the sound of someone chewing gum. Whenever I was bored I'd grab several sticks of gum or better yet bubblegum, and go to chewing around her. I also liked to chew gum when she was in the car and couldn't escape. Hmmm did that make me a bad father🤔? My daughter is 34 now and we are very close, though every now and then I'll grab some gum and start chewing.

3:52 and even more than the violence of chrissy's attack... the silence and the way the ocean wipes away any evidence of chrissy's last moments on this earth.
Jaws on the big screen is an incredible experience.
It played at a local theater earlier this year, but I forgot about its one-day showing and missed it. 😢
@@teccec It's epic, scary and funny. Hope you get another chance.
Agree. Totally different film on the big screen. Seen it on the big screen lots of times.
A favourite was at the Royal Albert Hall in London with the BBC orchestra playing the score live in front of a massive screen. A capacity 5,000 audience was there.
I was 12 and just a few miles away when they filmed this in the summer of 1974. My neighbor was an extra in the movie.
the cheif's scar was something like an appendix operation he was to embarrassed to mention it
I was always under the impression that it was a bullet wound, and that that was why he moved his family to Amity. IDK whether there's any confirmation either way in the book or the director's notes, though.
@@akinpaws I don't remember anything about that in the book but for the movie I always thought it had something to do with an injury on duty and why he left NYPD.
I'm always struck by how multi-talented Robert Shaw was. He started as a stage actor and did extraordinary Shakespearean performances. Shifting to the screen, he was incredible as King Henry VIII in the film version of “A Man for All Seasons". Today he’s most widely known for his charismatic portrayal of Quint here. (Incidentally, about his charisma: see "The Sting", starring Shaw, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Newman and Redford are two of the most charismatic actors ever -- yet it’s Shaw who commands our attention.)
This is already an impressive résumé. But what really astounds me is that acting wasn't his main thing. He was primarily a novelist and playwright. A very serious one, too. One of his plays, "The Man in the Glass Booth" -- based on his own novel of the same name -- was a hit in 1968 both in London and on Broadway. Its about a man who is either a Jewish businessman pretending to be a Nazi war criminal, or a Nazi war criminal pretending to be a Jewish businessman. (That's Wikipedia's description, and it's pretty accurate.) The play became a film, and it's very impressive work. A subtle, incisive look at questions of identity in the wake of massive trauma. Admirably, Shaw doesn't take the easy way out. He doesn't oversimplify. Instead, he digs deep into layer upon layer of moral issues that have no clear answer.
Remarkable man. I can’t think of anyone else with such a breadth and depth of talent, charisma, and intelligence. He died aged 51. Way, way, way too young.
I saw this movie in the theaters when it first came out. Haven't been in salt water since. I won't even soak my feet in a bucket of Epsom salts.
I had the bad (good) luck of growing up on the ocean, we were all back in the water the next day, a little more cautious but still in the water lol.
I had to laugh when the group of fishermen were headed out and you said "Wouldn't it be safer with a bigger boat", my mind went right to when Brody was chumming for the shark and Jaws pops up and said virtually the same line you used.
well of course
Love your channel, good job 👍
Oh wow!! Thank you so much ♥
@ The 28:37 minute mark, the word 'Pond' in that context refers to the other side of that beach (the non-Atlantic side) which is a sort of enclosed inlet, so the water is calmer on that side. One side of the beach faces East to the open Atlantic Ocean, and I suppose that the other side of the beach faces West, and is mostly an enclosed inlet (but fed by the main Ocean), but they nick-named that inlet side, the 'pond'. The West facing 'pond' side of the beach usually doesn't show an open ocean, as there is typically adjoined land a very short distance away within swimming distance.
Yes, but it's also the outlet of a tidal river. At high tide, it would be seawater, at low yide it would be brackish freshwater.
@@FloridaMugwump - This is also true. I was just trying to provide some context for Centane to help her understand. I live on the US East Coast (NYC), and also visit/stay in the Hamptons area of LI during the warm months, and there are areas like what I described. Same goes for what you described as well. Cheers!!
@fidel2xl I grew up on a tidal river in Maine so I threw that in . Our town was a replica of this town. We had an area like this called "the basin."
The fresh water is another reason that they call it a pond, a it's relevant
And it was filmed in Sengekontacket Pond on Martha's Vineyard so the pond reference was to the real life name of the 'pond'.
1975 was the year EVERYONE was "afraid to go back in the water".
"My KIDS were on that beach, too...." And yet the Mayor bullies a counsilman to take HIS family into the water... But this is coming from a Mayor that wore a suit to the beach!
"The Indianapolis" is a true account.
The council man was complicit in the cover up. He gets out of the car on the little ferry at the beginning and is sitting at the desk in the town council meeting. He was part of the problem. The mayor is not wrong for telling him to set an example.
That's the best part of having massive generational family wealth. Being able to enjoy your hobby as a career while getting praised for philanthropy.😂
And also always dropping things!!
IMO, the most frightening scene is the first attack. As children we were afraid of the dark. When you add a ravenous shark you don't see, well the fear factor is multiplied.😮
Quint's lymeric is pure gold. Very few things frighten me, but I can't swim, so water and sharks are a cryptonic combo. Great, fun reaction!
The pond scene was filmed in Sengekontacket Pond on Martha's Vineyard, so they kept the pond reference in the movie. There is a different bridge there now but it still basically looks the same, as do most of the other Martha's Vineyard locations.
I smiled when Kamilla(hope I spelled that right) said "I would feel a little safer if we had a bigger boat. When my brother and I were kids when Brody said...We're gonna need a bigger boat"" we would say.. Or a smaller shark."
I laughed out loud when she said that 😂
I'll never forget the series of pictures I saw in a magazine in Miami, Florida. The pictures were taken by the pilot of a small plane that flew advertising banners along the beaches of South Florida. The pictures showed sharks within feet of people, some on rafts. The pilot said he tried to warn people but they just waved back. He decided to take the pictures instead to show people what was swimming with them.😮
I once saw a picture, probably taken from a drone, showing a busy beach, probably a few hundred people. And, maybe two hundred yards away was a huge school of sharks. Probably several hundred. They appeared to be completely ignoring the people.
Apparently, I didn't save it. I've looked for it several times since, but I can't find a search phrase that will bring it up.
Apparently, there are usually sharks near people swimming at the beach. But, we don't look nor sound like seals, their most common food around US shores. And, we're probably big enough that they don't want to risk injury by attacking us. Few are as large as the shark in the movie. They won't attack unless something else is going on. Like a feeding frenzy. Or, sometimes people in black wet suits can look a lot like a seal. Many scuba divers will receive only a single bite. When the person doesn't feel nor taste right, the shark lets go and swims away.
@@MightyDrakeC I grew up in Miami and spent a great deal of time at the beach. My friends and I used to snorkel out to a sandbar off Crandon Park Beach. Every now and then we'd come across some nurse sharks. They are basically harmless even though they can get quite large. We all basically ignored one another.
A salt pond fed by the bay. Also called an inlet.
The way you widened your eyes at 43:57 was my exact reaction as well 😅 Priceless reaction 😂👏🏾
Chief Brody's scar was were he was shot when he was a Cop in New York. That Bullet wound is why he accepted the job as Police Chief on Amity Island.
Hey, I always thought that was the case. Is it confirmed in the book, or in some interview?
Jaws is one of the best movies ever made, hands down. It's one of those movies that I ALWAYS can't help but sit down to watch when it come on AMC or TBS or whatever. It's usually my wife flipping through the channels and landing on Jaws... then I can hear it from the other room... I guess it's time to watch Jaws... again.
eh, it's so-so
In June 1973, I went thru hurricane Bernice off the Acapulco coast. 36 foot trimaran sailboat. 4 POB. 36 hours of bouncing like a cork. 75 MPH winds.
We had seen about a dozen sharks every day, circling up behind the boat.
Foremast blown out. Main halyard fouled. Steering snapped. Water in the bilge up over the spark plugs. Line overboard wound tight around the prop. No sea anchor.
Another storm about 48 hours behind. Now 77, watching Jaws is a "trip".
14:18 Did she really say, "I'd feel a lot safer if we had a BIGGER BOAT?"
Yes she did.. I was gonna make the same comment, but it was obvious someone else should have already did it.
They did need a bigger boat
I loved that haha
The happy music is because this is not a pure horror movie, but more of an adventure movie. Then the others can say what they want. Great recation.. :)
Nemo! That comment cracked me up.😂
As a 70s kid I have always loved this movie ❤
This was one of my favorite childhood movies. I fell in love with sharks after seeing this. And the great white shark is still my favorite.
JAWS was the first movie ever filmed on the actual ocean. All previous movies that had ocean scenes were done in studio tanks.😧
@@highcountrydelatite Uh, no. Just Google the question "Was Jaws the first film ever filmed on a real ocean?" And you'll see. Cone on. This stuff is easy to check.
Besides being the movie that made Steven Spielberg world famous, this is also the movie that first brought great fame to John Williams; his only previous movie work had been adapting the Broadway score of Fiddler on the Roof for the movie version of that musical. I remember being struck when the movie came out by the way the music builds tension to a breaking point at the climax, and then, after the source of terror is destroyed in a great explosion, the music instantly changes to something very calm and reassuring. Two years later, of course, Williams would do exactly the same thing in Star Wars.
His first movie score was actually DADDY-O (1958), an eminently forgettable Rebel Without A Cause-wannabe. Williams paid his dues.
Oh I been waiting for you to watch that floating head scene. Your reaction did NOT disappoint. 😂😂😂
Fun fact: the reporter on the beach (with the glasses) is Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the novel.
You wouldn't think a movie about a shark would have so many jump scares, but the head coming out of the boat is one of the best in history.
A movie I never tire of: I’ve re-watched it numerous times, and, no doubt, will continue to pop in periodically. It ain’t a classic for nothin’!
Fun Fact : The news reporter at 25:12 is none other than the author of the book Jaws, Peter Benchley.
Remember David Webster from Band of Brothers? The book he wrote about sharks became a big seller after this movie came out.
And he was lost at sea. His book was released after he died wasn't it?
I saw this movie when I was 6 years old in 1975. rewatching and seeing the reaction of this beautiful young lady is a treat. Love her accent. My girlfriend has a Boston accent and I live closer to Hartford CT and Albany NY so sound different. Cool how an accent can make you remember people and places. Really enjoyed the reaction, thanks for posting it.
22:43 And… Ben Gardner’s head claims yet another victim! 😂
I think "BenGardner’sHead" would make a great username!
Hi Kamilla, I saw the notification earlier but was taking care of family. I so much wanted to jump in. I was in Highschool when this came out and went to see it at a Drive In it was hilarious hearing all the screaming when the head popped out of Gardner's boat 😂
I’m From & Grew Up In Miami & Spent A Lot of Time At The Beach.When I Saw This For The First Time,It Took 3 or 4 Weeks For Me To Get Back In The Water.Lol
I also grew up in Miami but was living in Forrest City, NC (the mountains)at the time. The next day I went swimming in Lake Lure and I still checked for a fin in the water.😅
This is one of about 16 films to be nominated for Best Picture (among others) and win every nominated category EXCEPT Picture (4 nominations and won 3 of them (Score, Film Editing, and Sound)), losing that category to ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. The competition that year alone was insane (apart from CUCKOO'S NEST and JAWS, you also had BARRY LYNDON, NASHVILLE, and DOG DAY AFTERNOON nominated for Picture).
For the monologue alone, Robert Shaw should have been nominated.
Something sure to say about Steven Spielberg is that, above being a great storyteller, above being an excellent cinema crafter, he is a goddamn genius... If he says he is going to scare the hell out of you, is not just a good scare what he has for you, he's gonna create you traumas you didn't knew were possible...
21:45 he would save many sharks from being killed by uneducated over zealous fisherman looking for a bounty, by killing one shark. this is a classic, i'm glad you checked it out! great reaction! 👍
" took it like a champ" yes you did, kami😁👍 good job glad you finally watched it. One of the best movies from the 70's. Thank you✌😁
I don't know if it was intended as an inside joke but, when Michael says "the pond is for old ladies", few in the audience would have known the back story. That line was re-recorded in the studio by veteran voice actress June Foray - 57 at the time the film was made.
Centane looking beautiful and saying she doesn't look good because she didn't apply makeup 😂😂
I am proud of you, girl, now next summer watch Jaws 2!!!!!!!!!
When Chief Brody lifted up his shirt to look at his wound. He was looking at the scar where he had his appendix out.
Love your movie reaction, it deserves a 5 star easily also love your nails !
17:12 - The kids mother does not know the mayor over ruled Chief Brody. Being the Chief of Police she holds him responsible for failing in his duty to keep the town community safe.
I love that you left a lot of Quint's lines in there... i saw this at a drive in movie theater the year it came out... scared the heck out of my 10 year old self lol
Congrats on the 90k subs! I read the Jaws book, the movie did a great job but left out a few interesting events. This movie spawned a whole shark hunting industry for sport. many a shark gave their lives to the Jaws franchise.
Shark hunting was already a popular sport. It didn't begin with Jaws.
The real killers of sharks were the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes.
Sharks killed because of Jaws were tiny in comparison.
In the scene where Hooper and Quint are comparing scars from shark encounters and bar fights, when Brody starts lifting his shirt he was thinking about showing off his appendectomy scar. 😆
Your reaction was SO fun, a lot because you showed so much wonder while watching. And you made it all in one piece!!! ❤️💕
I was 21 when I saw this in the theater, so many after seeing this film, stayed out if the water that summer. Book was even better.
I don’t think I’ve seen a reaction channel before that featured the reactors’ parkour skills. Nicely done. ✌️😉👍💕
39:19 Fun Fact: This monologue about the USS Indianapolis was only written as a three line paragraph. Robert Shaw (Quint) had a friend in his neighbourhood who actually WAS a survivor of the Indianapolis, and the story that Quint is saying is actually the story his neighbour told him.
Such a great masterpiece from the 70s!
it's just okay
The most important part about this movie is said in the trailer:
See it BEFORE you go swimming
Aside from everything else, I love the acting in the movie. Stellar performances from the entire cast
In spite of well documented statistics of people dying from shark attacks, this motion picture single-handedly repelled many people from Americas beaches. Even I was forced into reconsidering my own attitude regarding "swimming with nature!"
Saved a lot of people from drowning.
Also a little true fact that when brody is reloading his gun you can see a shooting star in the background, and then during another scene straight after another shooting star drops.
27:59 is the most terrifying shot in the film. Just a small glimpse of the size of the creature. Amazing film and use of tension
Since this is an election year in the USA I need to point out that the mayor in Jaws is still the mayor in Jaws II.
Yes because the whole town council, newspaper editor and coroner were with him. He didn't act alone. They made that clear.
Good one, Miss C! You did good! I enjoyed rewatching this with you. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Great reaction. I will never forget when I saw this in the theatre. It was the first scary movie I had ever seen. Great movie and can't wait to see you react to more.
"Quint is a little bit adorable." For some reason that made me laugh so hard. I mean about as opposite to every other person's initial reaction. But hey maybe what some people call jaded salt of the sea, some people call adorable. Love it!!! This is why I like reactions - it's kinda like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get But in all seriousness - props to you facing your fear and watching something that terrifies you. "We took it like a champ". Yes you did, yes you did! I appreciate what you said - "less is more". Great reaction!!
Your next reaction should be TREMORS, a land version of JAWS.😊
Yes!
It's nowhere near the film classic masterpiece that Jaws is. Simply a fun B movie. No more.
@@lyndoncmp5751 -- I would rate it more highly than that. It's a film that knows exactly what it wants to do, and does it with finesse. Does it have Robert Shaw? No... but then again, how many films do have Robert Shaw?
Too unrealistic to be believable
@@duanewhitacre5995 So is Terminator, Star Wars, Spiderman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Hulk, etc.
You are the absolute most fun person to watch this movie with. Your engagement was aweesome
This movie made so many people afraid to take baths after watching it
Nice review. You show much more of the movie than most reactors do. 21:31 You're right. Always thought that the "a night feeder" line was a production mistake or the production was so expensive, they just left it in rather than reshoot the scene. 41:01 Agreed, They're really stupid to get drunk at such a time.
Very nice reaction there Camilla, Robert Shaw (Quint) was a terrific actor and I hope you eventually see him in a very differnent role in THE STING with R Redford and PAUL Newman- - a film that won 7 oscars inc BEST PIC and a marvelous music score and Script that will get you hooked and what a BIG surprise at the finish -People just cheered at the end
