12:27 The USS Indianapolis wasn't an aircraft carrier It was a heavy cruiser Much like a smaller battleship
Comment from : @lagodifuoco313

If I may, I want to explore the mayor’s character While he clearly isn’t a hero he’s no the flat villain that people think he isbrbrEvery reactor I’ve seen has gotten the mayor’s motivation wrong He’s not trying to make money just to roll around in it He’s lobbying for the survival of the townbrbrI’m a tour guide by trade and I know what it is to depend on making a year’s worth of profits in 3 months The woman who yells, «24 hours is like three weeks” is right! brbrThe Mayor’s job is to protect the town’s safety, and in that respect he failed But he’s also responsible for the town’s economy and protecting people’s ability to make money Their very survival is dependent on the summer season! The shark is a threat but so is financial ruinbrbrThis puts the mayor in a bad position, so he does what most people in his position would do He goes into denialbrbrHe convinces himself that there is no problem, that the shark attacks were freak events It’s not until his own kids are at risk that he realizes it’s a real problem and it’s not going away

Jaws is a perfect film and the best horror film I’ve ever seen The story, characters and atmosphere is great The cast is amazing, especially Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss, and this truly launched Steven Spielberg’s career as well as giving birth to the summer blockbuster as we know it as it’s the first film to make over 100 million dollars world wide on its initial release The score by John Williams is iconic and defiantly deserved the Academy Award he won for this film It’s a masterpiece

We went on vacation every July/ AugustSo, after seeing it in the theater, I was up playing in a river I was too young to realize that sharks don't live in rivers I was scared *#$@LESS! My older bro pulling on my feet whenever I went in the water didn't help! I've got a great pic of him in a beach chair reading the book JAWS

My favorite Film of All Time! 🦈❤️‍🔥

Carnivorous animals (predators) are not dumb, neither are they monsters; great whites can think 80 times faster than a cat, and they use strategy by relying on ambush tactics Lions and wolves hunt as a team (wolf pack/lion pride) as they cooperate and coordinate their hunting skills Crocodilians are patient opportunistic ambush predators that have good memories - remembering each hunting area, and knowing when the prey items are on the move Why do predators eat when they get hungry to survive? Predators do this to keep nature balanced, and keep the overgrowing populations of prey in check Predator and prey is the kind of relationship that has one purpose: to preserve life

thanks for not spoirlign

The only aspect of Jaws I consider flawed are the multiple images of a shoreline in shots that were meant to depict deep-water ocean locations
Comment from : @frisco21

Love it

One of the best things about Jaws is that it’s a resonable plot

It's the Characters in the film brThat's why We love Jaws❤
Comment from : @fluorosco

Jaws is still the greatest monster movie and it's classic most people are afraid of Sharks in the ocean but I never seen one before
Comment from : @jenniferperry1904

Maga!
Comment from : @jimilove7773

This and Wizard of Oz the best! Everything about Jaws the settings the clothes the actors the script!
Comment from : @jimilove7773

Still my favourite film of all time I don't class it as a monster movie though as the shark is almost garnish to the story I've seen it at least sixty times and the blu-ray is stunning Don't know about the 4k as I've not got nor intending to get a 4k set-up Simply can't afford it and to be honest I've grown tired of replacing my film collection with the latest format Love my blu-ray so I'm gonna leave it there
Comment from : @SHOPFLOORTONE

This is my absolute favorite movie since I was 12 It’s such an iconic film and deserves that number 1 spot for me

Nobody ever mentions that horribly realistic leg Sometimes I wonder if it is a real amputated leg
Comment from : @kerpow9783

You are right! Quinn’s retelling of the USS INDIANAPOLIS sinking is ONE of THE BEST recollections EVER told on screen!!❤❤
Comment from : @amywilkins543

I love to watch this EVERY summer!!❤
Comment from : @amywilkins543

Cant believe this movie with a shark and real people started the summer blockbuster
Comment from : @yugiohgames104

The reason why jaws is still the greatest monster movie is because everyone is mostly afraid of Sharks in their phobia of the ocean I don't like the third jaws just because it's boring it doesn't show the main character that killed the Shark in the first one his name is chief Martin Brody I liked all scenes of Martin which is jaws 1 and 2 there was a Flashback in jaws the revenge shows Martin Brody from the first Jaws that Ellen Brody was thinking of so hooper didn't get a Oscar award for best actor I'm sorry for you the Oscar award winning for best actor in jaws is Roy Schieder he is the Superhero that killed a 121 foot longest Shark that's really impressive he has no horror or fear in Bruce the Shark was actually why jaws is the best monster movie is because of the mayor Vaughn is the mayor of Shark city that he created a monster of closing all public beaches because of the most dangerous Animal that's ever been made firing chief Martin Brody is the worst thing that the mayor has done I don't know why he doesn't have any faith in him for proving that Martin is right
Comment from : @jenniferperry1904

Boring monotonebut interesting Still a great film I would suggest recording this again with a helpful dramatic coach to give it expression Your narration is excellent, but the narration is dull and monotonous For JAWS!!!! Please try again
Comment from : @marysheeran519

It didn't try to be a horror or an action movie tbh, everything that happened just seemed totally natural, the way the characters acted and interacted with each other made them feel like real people with their own motivations and beliefs and their reasons for doing everything they did were totally reasonablebrbrThe only behavior that wasn't natural was the shark's which perhaps is why the idea that a shark would go rogue and start preying on humans like they were seals once it got to a certain size seemed so believable and combined with the horror of it's theme, pov, ambushes camouflaged beneath the surface, and superior strength and swimming skills in order to catch prey it just made it seem like all sharks could be bloodthirsty man-eatersbrbrRather than presenting this shark as a monster it made it seem like it was just an ordinary shark acting naturally so that's why when people think of sharks as man-eaters they don't necessarily think of this shark or even white pointers but any shark because it's just their nature (which is false but ingrained in our psyche now) which is why it doesn't feel like a horror It's like an animal species viewing all humans as having the nature of serial killers so when watching a slasher movie they don't see it as a horror but rather humans just being humans because they're dangerous animals that are to be avoided at all costs
Comment from : @clintonalver2715

Jaws is probably my favorite movie and still one of the only movie adaptations I think is genuinely better than the book
Comment from : @Clovers1313

Did that ship look like an aircraft carrier to you? If so I’m truly sorry
Comment from : @yortsemloh1156

It's not a mo ster movie it's a eco horror
Comment from : @joshrich5114

It is my favourite ever film, have watched it over about 1600 times and thats no lie, it is an awesome film
Comment from : @shanebantges9861

Hooper doesn't become obsessed with the shark, he arrives there already obsesed His arc is proving himself to all the people who dismiss him as soft because of his background And I agree, that "because I need it" scene is one of the all time bests
Comment from : @vanyadolly

The most iconic movies of the 20th Century by Spielberg / Lucas like JAWS, Star Wars, Close Encounters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, have ONE thing in common that made them masterpieces, ok two things The editing, which is the most underrated aspect of any film, and John Williams scores NONE of the movies would be the same without the brilliance of John Williams
Comment from : @michaelb42112

Movie was mid Watched it for the first time as a 30 yr old
Comment from : @chugachugachewy

It honestly begs the question, is it possible to make a monster movie this good on purpose? Considering that much of what made jaws so good happened by accident

The USS Indianapolis was NOT an aircraft carrier, it was a Portland Class Heavy Cruiser
Comment from : @24934637

Just watched Jaws recently and your video does a fantastic job exploring all the best parts of what makes this movie so amazing I like how you compared how you felt about it when watching as a kid versus as an adult
Comment from : @Ems3982

The nostalgia is strong with this one If you look at it objetivly, is rather mediecore Like 6/10
Comment from : @ascendant9792

This movie is simply perfection

Ummmthe Indianapolis wasn't an aircraft carrierIt was a heavy cruiser 😒
Comment from : @MyklEnigma

I always say that Jaws is like a movie buff wet dream it's so well done and it's such a landmark film and don't forget for its time and how it was filmed and how Steven Spielberg did the special effects with the shark still looks amazing on film to this day and to this day no other shark movie has captured the magic of this movie

Comment from : @p_nk7279

Can you please be more monotonous as to voice brOMGbrAre you AI or on drugs…or both???brPpppffftttt
Comment from : @p_nk7279

Spielberg movies never seem to age You can watch “Jaws”, “Close Encounters”, “Jurassic Park,” “ET”, or “Saving Private Ryan”, and while the cinematography styles change, they carry over certain techniques and perspective shots that are genuinely good They’re not experimental techniques specific to a decade, or bland, overused techniquesbrbrThe perfect examples are the dinner table scenes, Brody’s glasses reflecting the book pages he’s flipping through, and the spotlight cutting through the fog onto Ben Gardner’s boat
Comment from : @chrisbullard5901

JAWS will never be remade, and nor should it There is no improving on perfection
Comment from : @NomnomJawsnomnom

Yep

John Williams's soundtrack !brEven away from the 2 / 3 note "Shark's in the vicinity" trackbrSo multilayered with emotive bass lines The Brody & son dinner table scene, even the "scramble ashore" final credits track !brHairs on the back of the neck, everytimebrMusical Genius
Comment from : @johnmcnulty1129

The uss Indianapolis was a cruiser, not an aircraft carrier
Comment from : @DonDonnieDon

When I saw again in the Theatre on July 4th, the scene with Ben's boat and Richard Dreyfus in the water I knew what was coming and still jumped
Comment from : @TheGodzilla713

Loved this movie and have been obsessed with at various times since my friend's grandmother took us to see it in the summer of 1975 Yes, that poster might be the greatest ever It will live on decade after decade because it is a true masterpiece
Comment from : @JosephRocco-mi4cm

12:16 "The USS Indianapolis, a MASSIVE AIRCRAFT CARRIER" (proceeds to actually show the correct image) ummmm the USS Indianapolis was a modest sized Heavy Cruiser, and quite tiny to the big Carriers of WWII that was NOT an aircraft carrier
Comment from : @wolfshanze5980

Love this movie Seen it dozens of times To me it’s the dialogue that makes it work It also gave me a fondness for the ocean, sharks etc
Comment from : @billdivine9501

well done!!
Comment from : @jemwarren91

I love this film because of its simplicity Anything sordid, distracting or irrelevant has been removed from the novel to tell a pure, direct story
Comment from : @lance7607

Great analysis of THE masterpiece
Comment from : @jesusislord7526

The movie is pretty good I just wish it didn't have such an damaging legacy on sharks Shortly after the movie release there was such a massive influx in shark derbys and general trophy hunting it caused multi generational effects on the perspective of sharks To anyone who grew up in the post 1995 you wont really understand However, the movie released when information was not as abundant and accessible which left people with Jaws as their main introduction/understanding to sharks brbrShark week, which peter was the first host of also went down this path Which is why Peter did not return Shark week actively uses jaws language and editing while claiming to be for educational purposes brbr When do you ever create such a biologically damaging fiction novel/movie and end up regretting it Peter spending the rest of his time undoing the damage he had done Mundus being the inspiration for Quint also spent much of his later life trying to fix the damage he had done brI understand the love people had for it especially if they grew up with it but there is a sad lesson to be learned from the movie /book I hope people who continue to have the jaws effect or just love jaws learn from it and try to alleviate to issues it has created

The secret to making the biggest monster of all time- don't show the monster The human imagination is more dangerous than all the violence in cinema!

Criminey! the USS Indianapolis was NOT an aircraft carrier! It was a cruiser

Sorry dude, love Jaws, didn't love this monotone, impassionate delivery trend Gave it a go though!

Great vid but the Indianapolis was a cruiser and not an aircraft carrier

The USS Indianapolis was NOT an "aircraft carrier"
Comment from : @seanjohnson386

Never had any problem with the third act; the hunt for the shark is the best part of the film You're a fine writer, though Good essay
Comment from : @gallery7596

Despite the comical robot shark - it doesn't detract from the movie not ONE BIT - Awesome film
Comment from : @golic7123

I lived in a coastal town (that's NEVER seen a shark) - but after seeing this, as a little boy, i didn't even dip-a-toe in the sea for a long, LONG timebrIn fact, it kept me out of the sea for over 30yrs, ha ha ha ha Cheers Speilberg, ha ha ha ha
Comment from : @golic7123

I'm the chief of Police I can do anything (Except that in truth, he can't, until he overcomes his fears and saves the mf day) A great movie
Comment from : @stevebloomer7027

Fun fact: the reason they are called SHARKS is because when you see one swimming toward you, you don't know whether to say SHIT or FARK
Comment from : @stevebloomer7027
