houston… we have to get a bigger boat🥴🦈⛴❤️🔥
I like your use of Saint-Saens' music for your intro. We played his Organ Symphony in college and I became an instant fan. I just wish he'd written more.
So...wanna go swimming? 🦈
You are literally the first person I've heard say that they simply can't understand what Quint is saying - since I first saw it as a kid in the seventies. It's really too bad, because it's an iconic monologue about one of the most tragic wartime American ship disasters and one of the highlights of this movie. Quint is played by the great Robert Shaw, a wonderful British actor who died too early.
Turn on CC.
Unfortunately I couldn't understand quint was saying, but after reaching it still love it :)
Robert Shaw was an English actor - Please don't use the vague/meaningless term 'British' as it is neither a country nor a nationality.
Its hilarious that Americans cant understand English when it's spoken by English people lool. 🏴
Actually he was Irish@@rnw2739
Quint's monologue about the USS Indianapolis is based on a true event during WW2, in which the ship was sunk by a torpedo, and the crew were left floating in the water to get eaten by whole schools of sharks. The character Quint is supposed to have been a sailor who survived that ship wreck. It sets him up as having PTSD from that experience. He hunts sharks to try to deal with his trauma by killing the things he fears. He gets more and more obsessed with killing this super-shark because he's fighting his inner demon, but when everything he knows how to do fails - when it dives with three flotation barrels attached - that's when he gets scared. You can see it in the face of the actor, Robert Shaw, whose performance is brilliant but maybe a little too subtle. I've been watching this movie since it came out in '75, and it took me a long time to figure Quint out. With his last ditch effort, he says he's going to lead the shark into the shallows and drown him - he means that such a big fish wouldn't be able to survive in shallow water. But what's really happening is that Quint is running for his life, out of pure terror. That's why he won't listen to the other guys and ends up burning out the engine - he's panicking.
I have read the book, and actually I like the movie better, although the book does give us more depth on the main characters. I like that the three men who face off against the shark are all experts in one way or another. Quint is a fisherman-expert, but he is damaged and dealing with PTSD, and his over-confidence masks his fears. Hooper is a scientist-expert, and his over-confidence comes from his youth and his enthusiasm for sharks. Brody doesn't know anything about sharks, and he lacks confidence in himself because he's out of his area of expertise, but in fact, his skill is the one that matters at the end. The movie only hints at Brody's background, but he's not just a small-town cop. He was formerly a New York City cop and his main skill is that he's a marksman, an expert at shooting. So it's kind of funny that it's the "fish out of water" who kills the fish in the water. 😉
For some reason he says June 29th, but history has it as June 30th. And it was kinda funny, the shark sand a couple of times and they had to build another one.
I dont know: maybe it's a generational thing: i saw this movie when i was a child
and I understood everything Quint said.
John Williams had actually written a musical cue for Quint's death sequence. It was decided that it would not be used. The scene was already intense enough without the cue. The musical "silence" allowed the focus to be on Quint's pain and terror as his greatest fear became reality. He was destined (for lack of a better word) to suffer the same fate as his friend Herbie Robinson.
it successfully scared me even more because it DOES seem like a scene that i was expecting to have music!
@@underwaterflowers Quint... Robert Archibald Shaw (9 August 1927 - 28 August 1978) Shaw died in Ireland at the age of 51 from a heart attack on 28 August 1978, while driving from Castlebar, County Mayo, to his home in Tourmakeady. He suddenly became ill, stopped the car, stepped out, and then collapsed and died on the roadside. He was accompanied by his wife Virginia and his son Thomas at the time.
(By stopping the car he saved a lot of lives....)
I hate when movies rely on music to signal every emotion. Directors today don't seem to know that the sound effects are musical as well. In this scene, you can hear the screams, the crunch of the bones, the gurgling... it's horrifying.
My other favorite examples of this are in every Star Wars movie. Each one has at least one scene where there is no music and minimal dialogue, relying totally on the sound design; most of the Death Star battle and lightsaber fights, most of the pod race, the speeder bike chase... There is such a great combination of sounds, pitches and intensities; it's very much like music. When music is finally brought in, it's usually at the end to kind of tie up the scene.
It's more realistic without music, like a documentary.
I love how Spielberg uses no music in high tension scenes like the trex escape
Quint's monologue is very compelling and gives us insight into his character's behaviour. It's quite possibly my favorite scene. The extent of character development in this film really sets it apart in the genre, and elevates it best in class, IMO.
The "monologue" Quinn shares is based on a very true story. USS Indianapolis was sunk during WW2. 1196 people went into the water just like he says. You can find plenty of interviews of survivors online.
And his delivery of it was improvised.
@@bostonvair Amazing actor Robert Shaw.
6.45 in. "It's your fault" was a bit harsh. He was just lucky, if he had not passed out he would have been attacked as well.
Good job it's just a book/film!
This is probably the 5th or 6th reaction I have watched. I'm only 8 minutes in.
Mum took me to watch it when I was 8. It scared all kinds of holy crap out of me.
Anyway, on with it.
The jump scare scene that took place underwater at night was actually filmed in the film editors', Verna Fields, backyard swimming pool. Milk was poured in the pool to create the murky appearance.
Two hours is a time commitment? Ben-Hur, that's a time commitment. The Ten Commandments, that's a time commitment. Gone with the Wind, that's a time commitment.
The kid wants Coffee flavored icecream, not actual coffee
A generation ago, some of us had to take a swimming course to graduate college (no, not a joke). My course was called...wait for it...Drownproofing. Again, not a joke. One of the skills we learned was literally, you end up in the ocean, miles from shore, can you tread water long enough to be rescued? Or even make it to shore. And actually, they taught us how. I wish you could take such a course.
USS Indianapolis (CL/CA-35) was a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, named for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Launched in 1931, it was the flagship for the commander of Scouting Force 1 for eight years, then flagship for Admiral Raymond Spruance in 1943 and 1944 while he commanded the Fifth Fleet in battles across the Central Pacific during World War II.
In July 1945, Indianapolis completed a top-secret high-speed trip to deliver uranium and other components for "Little Boy", the first of two nuclear weapons ever used in combat, to the United States Army Air Force Base on the island of Tinian, and subsequently departed for the Philippines on training duty. At 0015 on 30 July, the ship was torpedoed by the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-58, and sank in 12 minutes. Of 1,195 crewmen aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship.[4] The remaining 890 faced exposure, dehydration, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks while stranded in the open ocean with few lifeboats and almost no food or water. The Navy only learned of the sinking four days later, when survivors were spotted by the crew of a PV-1 Ventura on routine patrol. Only 316 survived.[4]
The sinking of Indianapolis resulted in the greatest loss of life at sea from a single ship in the history of the US Navy.[a] On 19 August 2017, a search team financed by the Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen located the wreckage in the Philippine Sea lying at a depth of approximately 18,000 ft (5,500 m).[5] On 20 December, 2018, the crew of the Indianapolis was collectively awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.
Man, that's a shame you had such a hard time understanding Quint's monologue. That's one of my favorite parts of the whole film.
Quint's monologue was one of the best in film history and one of the best parts of this film. Very glad you included it...other LAME reactors edit it out! 🤯
His son wants coffee ice cream at the hospital. Coffee Ice cream is a very popular flavor in New England. Coffee milk is the official beverage of Rhode Island which is not that far from where this was filmed Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts. When Robert Shaw delivered his Indianapolis speech he was rather intoxicated during filming. So his words did run together because he was hammered
@@WheresWaldo05 His mother asked what kind of ice cream he wanted and IMO Robin Williams ' park bench speech in Good Will Hunting was far superior to Shaw's. Williams won an Oscar for that role and that speech was a pivotal reason why.
@@WheresWaldo05 Man that's a lot of effort to correct a trivial technicality five months later. You might want find yourself a more productive hobby.
1. Goof: Chrissie's body parts are too far up the beach to have been washed up there without a storm.
2. Boy Scouts don't need to do the mile swim to get their Merit badge. It's an accomplishment all its own.
3. Lee Fierro/Mrs. Kentner actually slapped Roy Scheider. It took 17 takes. Once was so hard it knocked his glasses off.
4. The jump scare at Ben Gardner's boat was put in on purpose by Spielberg because they were having problems with the shark "Bruce" and his appearance was delayed, and the movie needed something earlier. It works every time😲
5. IRL Dreyfuss and Shaw didn't get along so Spielberg used the animosity to fuel their feud onscreen.
6. Hooper was right. The fish that hit the line was a game fish.
7. "You're gonna need a bigger boat" is one of the greatest adlibs in history. It was the first time Roy actually saw Bruce.
8. Goof: An animal that large couldn't hit the side of the boat as rapidly as it did UNDER WATER.
9. All of the shipboard scenes were filmed entirely at sea.
10. I suspect Quint's story about the Indy gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the story.
11. I was in the Navy and we were instructed to go for the eyes when confronting a shark.
12. The boy that says, "He made me do it." recently became the police chief of the town where this was filmed.
13. In the book not only does Hooper die but he was also having an affair with Mrs. Brody.
14. JAWS II is the only other one worth watching. It revolves around the Brody kids and their friends. Including the mayor's son.
15. The third one was so bad that after Scheider read the script he turned it down.
the Gardiner boat scene is impossible and the mayor committed suicide due to mob connections
@@matthewcostello3530 Ben Gardner's boat was in a pool but it's not the "ship". The Mayor is in the JAWS II.
the reporter on the beach on the 4th of July was Peter Benchley, the author of the book.
The guy on the ferry who says "we've never had this kind of troubke in these waters before" was Carl Gottlieb, the primary script writer.
Regarding goof 1 I don't think the girl's body is that far up the beach. People assume the policeman with the whistle is right next to her but if you look behind him Brody and the boy are much closer to the surf washing in and judging by where they're looking that's where the girl's body actually is 😉😊
21:21 He means coffee flavored icecream.
Honestly the mayor's probably one of my favorite "bad guy" characters of that type because he actually seems to have a sliver of a conscience left in him, and I appreciate him more every time I watch the movie. He's trying to balance the need for the town to survive economically with his conscience (vacation towns depend on the "summer dollars" as he put it, to an *insane* degree. To the point that the majority of a summer town's annual income comes from just a few weeks of tourism--with Amity, that tourism is exclusively tied to the beaches). You can watch him from the start as he weighs the two--starting off with avoiding closing the beaches and covering up Chrissie's death as a "boating accident" because he genuinely didn't think it was likely there'd be more attacks--and watch as he just mentally breaks down over time from the guilt he felt from his decisions (the book also had a subplot where he owed a lot of money to the mob, which was why he had to keep the town open at all costs, but it didn't quite make it into the movie).
And he starts his breakdown with Alex Kintner's death. When you watch the scene with the town meeting, watch him closely. His appearance is already starting to fall apart, and he's not nearly as animated with his movements. Then while everyone else on the board (barring the man to his right) laughs to some degree at the "will the reward be cash or check?" joke, the mayor noticeably doesn't join in. Instead he looks like he's a mix of disgusted and disappointed. His mental disintegration is complete after boy scout troop leader gets killed by the shark in the pond, because the full weight of everything he's done and the sheer magnitude of his failure really sets in. He knows it was his decision that got two people killed (the kid + the troop leader) and could have easily gotten his own kids killed, and on top of that he basically doomed the town to bleed to death financially because he didn't shut down the beaches OR pay Quint to kill the shark. He ends the movie a thoroughly and completely broken husk of a man who's basically walking around in a perpetual daze and unable to even string coherent thoughts or sentences together and it's through no one's fault but his own. And he's painfully aware of it. He's a fantastic character in the movie, and played incredibly well.
(It's a shame they undid virtually all of that character development for the sequel, barring the fact he seems at least slightly more inclined to believe Brody than the other town officials)
I've read the book and this is the only time I can think of where the movie blows the book out of the water (no pun intended)
the Jaws sequels should be avoided at all costs.
I love how Spielberg used to terrify his siblings as a child and now he's turned the knob up to a billion so to speak and scares the crap out of everyone through his movies particularly this one.
The $10k that Quint asked for in 1975 is close to 50k today.
Jaws the book? Yeah its great, and considerably different to the movie, so reading it isn't just reading the same story as is in the movie all over again. Do recommend.
The Quint speech about the u.s.s indianapolis is the greatest monologue in cinema history. In my opinion.
Hey, just a tip: Anytime you can’t understand what’s being said, just turn on subtitles. Also, I read the book in HS for a book report. It focuses more on the characters’ personal lives rather than the terror of the shark so it’s very diff. I didn’t like it, but it could be that the adrenaline I got from the film appealed to my youthful self better.
You say you can’t do puns but “jawful” is great!
The mother asks him what kind of ice cream he would like and he says coffee he doesn't want coffee to drink he wants coffee flavored ice cream.
FYI
The body popping out of the boat didn't just get you, I saw this in 75 at a drive in you could hear screaming coming from cars everywhere 😆
The book is amazing and terrifying. Nothing else needs to be said. Highly recommend. Anything you didn't get could just be a generational thing. Not sure what you didn't get other than the monologue. Keep in mind he was supposed to be drunk so he was slurring (I've heard he was actually really drunk, which speaks volumes about what a fantastic actor he was). Jaws 2 is not bad. Worth watching. Nothing after that is.
I thought the devlepment of Chief and wife strugglin a little more with transitionong to island and Hoopers dynamic with mrs Chief made it an even better book than movie. Read it for 9th grade English cuz movie was coming out,
I read the book when it first came out. (Yeah, I’m that old.) It was OK. Saw the movie after reading the book. This is one of the rare instances in which the movie is better than the book.
Please, please, please go back and rewatch Quints Indianapolis monologue again with the subtitles on! It's one of the most iconic parts of the movie, and goes a long way to explaining his PTSD and attitude to sharks. It's really essential to understanding his character and why he becomes increasingly obsessed with killing the shark.
Seems like you need subtitles.
I never watch anything without them, mostly because I don't trust the sound mixing to be good enough for my bad hearing(and I'm usually right).
And that rule goes double for anime. #subsnotdubs
I actually have read the book, _reeeeeeeeally_ long time ago. I forget most of the details, but the thing that always stuck out in my memory is the way the book ends - it's kind of surreal and strange. Also a certain character does not survive in the book.
That character also has an affair with a certain law enforcement officer's wife iirc
I'm just glad Rex survived. 😆
What a breath of fresh air. No vocal fry and sounding like you have a frog rammed down your throat. Just normal talking. Thank-you Ha Ha. For real
Lost on current generation is aluminum cans were much thicker than today's you could not easily crush them unless you were strong.
21:11 -- You may be wondering why they are dragging the boy to shore, and why he has been taken to the hospital. It is because the original scene, which got deleted, showed the shark going after the boy, with the coach still in his mouth. The coach grabbed the boy and held him away from the shark's mouth as the shark swam around, eventually the coach dies and the boy is released and the shark swims away.
It’s a classic. Jaws scared the crap out of me. That first scene was intense. You didn’t see the shark or blood but you knew what was happening to her. I went to Pacific Ocean with my family that summer. My brother and I went in up to our knees. We were such babies. Lifeguards said it was an easy summer for them that year as no one went in. I go in now but won’t go beyond the waves. The shark broke down a lot from the salt water so Spielberg used it less than he wanted but it worked so successfully. Loved all the characters. Quint was supposed to have that New England accent. Well, they had more plot development than a lot of movies nowadays. So what might be boring to you is shaping the plot and development of characters. Quint had survived the USS Indianapolis so he didn’t want to wear a life jacket. It was him or the shark. May be that helps?
There was a music cue when Quint was eaten but just the beginning was used subtly when the shark was ascending to the surface. That cue ended up being used in a trailer. I've watched the scene with and without the cue and they both work, but for different reasons. Without it, the scene plays more realistically as did the initial T-Rex attack from his fence in Jurassic Park. The cue can be found on the rerelease of the score rather than the initial release.
Some fun facts...The shark,named Bruce didn't work alot and that's why you don't see the shark alot until the end.Actors Roy Schneider and Richard Dreyfuss thought Spielberg didn't know what he doing,but Robert Shaw knew this was going to be a big hit.At the screening,the author that wrote the book,thought this film was ridiculous until he looks to his right and sees the divers that worked on the film say...YEA,KILL THAT F*CKING SHARK and that's when everyone knew,this was going to be a huge hit.
Not true at all. It was in the script that that the shark would only be fully revealed in the third act
The book was pretty good! The author, Peter Benchley, plays the TV reporter in the beach scene
the cage scene was filmed in the film editor's pool, she was the only one with a pool big enough to film it
No the cage was in a studio set the boat wreck with gardeners head was filmed in her pool
Off topic :What light is creating the green spirals in your glasses ?
The book was actually very good. I was surprised how intense it was considering I’d already seen the movies many times. Also the characters were pretty different
Oh yea,the scene in the boat at night when all the characters were talking...Robert Shaw was really drunk as a skunk!
Not in the final cut
He asked if he could be drunk and he messed up a lot of stuff and then did it sober the next day and nailed it. However the writer Carl gottlieb who plays the news reporter meadows, said that the scene is half and half of him drunk and him not drunk. And you can tell when he's drunk by looking at his eyes because they're glazed over.
The kid wanted Coffee Ice Creme. We call it mocha now.
We still call it coffee in most of New England.
Dominic Noble has a channel where he compares the books to the movies called Lost in Adaptation. He's got a video on Jaws I"m pretty sure. It's a great channel.
Can’t what for September 2nd . Going to local AMC to rewatch this in imax
Sharks don't growl that was a lion which they dubbed in for a frightening effect
That’s one of my favorite movies of all time.
26:05 "you're Bait!" lol 😂great reaction to a classic, i subbed for more 👍
Saw it in theaters last night in 3D. The tension was ramped up by 100 lol
The book is good, with a few things that were ok and rightfully cut from the film. You actually feel bad for the Mayor in the book because his reason for trying to reopen the beaches is literally life and death for him and his wife. The author of the book is also in the movie as the news reporter on the beach. He ended up hating that the movie was made because it lead to a spike in killing sharks all over the world. He wrote the book to get people more interested in sharks, not to make them afraid of sharks.
For sharks can we PLEASE do Deep Blue Sea, it's epic with Samuel L Jackson and hella thrills
When Brody's son was in the hospital and he requested coffee , he meant coffee flavored ice cream , because his mother asked him if he wanted ice cream .
Fun fact. The little Prankster is now the Police Chief gg
Most Shark attacks happen in 3 feet of water. The Shark and the "Cable" is from Jaws 2.
The "weather change" at the beginning I believe chrissy in the water was shot during the day but made to look dark with some camera trickery and the guy lying on the beach his scenes were actually in the dark.
It was something to do with the dangers of filming underwater scenes at night because chrissy was attached to a rig that would pull her, I think it malfunctioned too and that shot of her quickly trying to catch her breath was genuine.
Roy Scheider. 1932-2008.💔
Robert Shaw. 1927-1978.💔
I'm Jaws Fan's I have that DVD Movie that I've been watching like thousand time all ready. One Of my favorite scene for Chief Brody said You're Going Need A Bigger Boat LoL. The Very First movie is Good and Awesome.🤟😎
Jaws is my favourite film, it's the perfect shark film. To not reveal the shark and instead just have POV shots and your imagination as a tool was a really genius play by Spielberg (partly cos the shark did not work in sea water well). The book is not bad but not a touch on the film. The characters all being very unlikeable is a main reason why, but Chapter 1 is one of the best chapters I have read and worth a read. Oh, the writer, Peter Benchley, plays the news reporter on the beach btw.
Try and watch the documentary/making of Jaws, it's brilliant and really helps you appreciate how much of a struggle this film was to make.
The term Summer Blockbuster came about because of this film as people for the first time were queuing around the block to see it.
Great video btw. New to your channel (first vid I watched) so I will be watching some more of your vids.
The book is worth a read. It is different enough from the movie to be interesting even after seeing the movie. Also, IMHO adding music to the Quint getting eaten scene, which to me is the most horrific scene ever put into a movie, would have not improved it. When all you can hear are his screams and the sounds of the thrashing shark on the deck of the boat ... that's about as horrific as it can get.
Reupload? Ugh, that sucks but still it's a pretty impressive movie.
Underwater flower if you never seen The exorcist I highly recommend that reaction. It's the only movie ever that really really affected people. You could even watch on UA-cam the real story about how it affected people. I was one of them I couldn't sleep for a few nights
Martyrs 2008 is really intense , after that everything seems like a comedy
What your favorite horror movie and great fun video keep making more
In the book, Hooper sleeps with the cop's wife, and he dies in the shark cage.
I was 12. I was in Florida on a beach on family vacation. In a movie theater and movie that cleared the beach for weeks! :) ( yes, a 12 year old with his parents did go to movies like this back in the day)
im thinking boring movies arent limited to decades, like the 70s, as you said.
I got bored out of my mind for Jurassic Park Dominion and walked out and went to the movie in the next room.
They didn't take the teeth out of the tiger shark... tiger sharks have smaller teeth than great whites and a lot of shark species (tiger included) actually don't really show their teeth unless they're about to bite something, so their teeth are hidden by their "lips."
The characters in the book are completely different. Except the shark.
why does everybody get mad at the drunk kid at the beginning? what would he have done,,,,fight off the 25 foot 6000 lb shark??
In defense of the Mayor:
He's not as bad as you think. Here's why:
1. Sharks in the real world don't behave like this one. They eat, then they swim away. In real life, 2 shark attacks in the same area almost never happens. Something less than 1% of the time, and those are probably just bad luck that TWO sharks were hungry in that place and time.
2. Real life mayors often don't shut down beaches after a shark attack for the reason above. Some of them do, but almost never for more than 24 hours.
3. Mayor Vaughn in the movie agreed to shut down the beach for 24 hours after the boy was killed. This was several days after the first woman was killed so a 24 hour shut down after that one would not have saved the boy.
4. Mayors are elected to protect the whole town.
5. This town is a northern town in New York. It relies on summertime tourism. All those little family owned businesses make 80% of their annual revenue during summer. They probably make about 25% of their annual revenue around the 4th of July weekend and days just before and after. That's why some person said "24 hours is like three weeks" - they were talking about losing so much money that day it would be like losing 3 weeks some other time.
6. Shutting down that income for these families might mean they can't pay their employees, can't pay their mortgages, might even have to go into bankruptcy.
7. This is guaranteed - losing that much revenue would cause his friends, his voters, huge financial damage up to and including some bankruptcies and some businesses closing forever.
8. 100% guaranteed financial ruin to do what? Prevent an imaginary future shark attack that isn't going to happen?
In summary, Mayor Vaughn did what every real mayor would do: what's best for his town.
Why does he look so wrong in the movie?
Simple.
It's Hollywood.
Worse, it's a monster movie that would be really boring if the monster ate one skinny-dipping co-ed in the first minute then swam off to the deep blue sea to never be seen again.
Mayor Vaughn didn't know he was in a monster movie so he made the same decisions that EVERY real life mayor makes in the real world.
Maybe if he knew he was in a monster movie, he would have closed the beaches until the monster swam away, or called in the coast guard to hunt the monster, or maybe called Arnold Schwarzenegger to come kill it.
OK, OK, Arnie wasn't a star when this was made, so he might have had to call Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson or Sean Connery.
#underwaterflowers, you are so amazing. I have just subscribed to your channel, so this is my first time commenting on your videos.
In my honest opinion, Jaws is one of the rare examples of a movie being better than the book its based on. The book just has much less likable characters and soap opera subplots. The author Peter Benchley actually wrote a better Jaws rip-off novel called Beast about a giant squid.
33:39 Baby shark, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo. 🎶
38:30 Maybe turn on subtitles?
Glasses off good thank you for your honesty and facial expressions
Late to the party but i liked your reaction! Also the book has a lot of differences but it still really good! The opening chapter had me paralyzed because it was so horrifying! Its from the perspective of the Shark! Whenever people are attacked in the book you read it from the sharks POV!
In the 1970's we knew NOTHING! about sharks compared to now. I was 5 when this came out and I remember really good books on sharks were in the 1980's.
Everyone cheered when the shark exploded. That was never done before the initial death of the shark was from a brutal stab to the belly from a harpoon which is fatal. Steven Spielberg wanted a spectacular ending and he got it. The audience cheered when the shark exploded. It made the movie what it is.
One of my comments was that I said you were going to need a bigger section for the comments but I didn't think you tube was going to take mine off to do it😧
just subbed great reaction
Hooper and Mrs Bordy were also islanders
awesome!

GREAT JOB REVISING YOUR SCORE FROM 9 TO 10!
I love fishing and hate the water. I grew up on a lake and never learned to swim til I a teen. I know this movie definitely messed me up with water.
I love your opening music! Is that the Jonathan Creek theme song?
The first shooting star you see during the night scene was actually caught on film lol the second when it was a pan out shot of the boat was edited in lol
@underwaterflowers, thank you for watching this great movie. Your reaction was spectacular, and I enjoyed your summary.
I'm sure people have already told you this, but the book is completely different than the movie.
The characters and the sub-plots make it a much different story, and it feels like the shark is more of an afterthought. It's still a good story, it's just different.
I hope that you've had a chance to watch the making of JAWS, it is fascinating.
I also love how this movie ends with Brody & Hooper swimming ashore, that's all we need to see.
Thanks again for a fun reaction, I am going to subscribe to your channel.
One last thing, you mentioned John Williams's music, and I must say that if you can find a way, go see John Williams in concert. The maestro is 91 years of age and still performing.
He has a concert every year at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and I've been going to watch him for the last 8 years. It's a wonderful time with great music.
He travels to other cities as well, so who knows, he could arrive in your area. Just thought you should know.
What a great review of a classic movie.
Jump to 4:46 to get to the movie action.
28:04 --- Guess you've never been to the New England states.. Not that we all talk like that. But the folks from Cape Cod and Maine / New Hampshire? Yep.
I’ve been living on Martha’s Vineyard all my life. I don’t think we talk that way. I’ve traveled all over, and not once has any mentioned a thick accent.
@@user-us5pv8zw3z -- Jeff still down at The Wharf these days? -- Long Island here and the accents get "hyper-local".. It's a strange thing, but you can tell the difference between north and south shore and just about what town. -- If you follow Shanelle Riccio here on UA-cam, I had a little trouble placing her at first, but the more I heard her talk, the more I narrowed it down.. First, I knew it was South shore, then I was thinking Merrick or somewhere in Nassau, but then it finally clicked.. South Bay Shore. And most likely in the western portion. :)
Wow just wow!!🤣🤣🤣

I am new to this channel.
*JAWS* was rated PG in 1975. Parental Guidance Suggested. We have gory shark attacks and disturbing images. If I could have rated Jaws, I would have rated it R for such content. I mean, even a boy was shown being eaten on-screen with tons of blood!
By the way, did you notice the sad piano music playing when we see the dead shark drifting down towards the bottom? Despite all the trouble and chaos that the shark caused, I still felt bad for it when it was blown up.
Politicians have sucked since the beginning of time and will continue to suck until the end of time.
I’ve read the book and definitely worth your time. It’s been so long but I do remember Hooper and the Sheriffs wife, I’ll leave it at that.
