The film coined the term Blockbuster. The film that made folks scared to go back in the water, and the film that put Spielberg on the map as one of the greatest Dictators of all time. Jaws has been credited for all these things and has gone done as a classic. Spawning numerous sequels and knockoffs. The basic tale of a killer Shark wreaking havoc in a small coastal town leaving only a small group of men to save the day. Despite this by today's standard rather played out the theme. Jaws even in its heyday offered something new in fresh that has never been managed to be duplicated. That being its character and charm from its human characters to the town of Amity Island and its residents. The movie never strives too far in the sense of surrealism keeping real closes to home. Bringing life into this town with its beautifully shot landscapes and shots of the water. The overhead tracking shot through objects. Yet still having the mystery and ominous tone with it still being centered around a killer shark. The production troubles of this film are well known. The weather and trouble Filming on the water and how the shark didn't work for most of the film. Which limited appearances of it for most of the movie. They had to work around it by having indications of the uses of debris and seeing the mutilated remains building on this mystery. No other movie especially nowadays could get away with not showing the shark this long, but it makes up for it with the Humans having such character and the mystery then the big reveal. Roy Schindler Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw Solo portray these three. Brody this everyday man the sheriff of this small town and his conflict with the mayor and the whole situation with his fear of the water and fear of not holding up to his obligation to protect from this shark that he doesn't even know is real. Until it's too late. Hooper this likable and yet kind of arrogant Marine Biologist and his head butting with Quint who is sort of this drunken Ahab. When these three meet each other for the first time the best highlights of the movie take place.
