My fav part of this movie will always be the story he tells about the atomic bomb being delivered. Especially after watching Oppenhimer. You see the bomb being carted off In Oppenhimer. Then hearing the story in Jaws about the events that lead up to dropping it and what happened to the sailors that transported it is just a tragety on its own. How true that story is and how scary it must of been.

This movie is the perfect example of how to make a scary and tense movie WITHOUT the use of expensive CGI and special effects. You said it perfectly… not seeing the shark until almost the end is like being blindfolded in some remote location, spun around a few times, and just let go to walk around aimlessly. And the use of, or the lack of, music and silence was brilliant. Steven Spielberg is a genius. The only other movie I can think of right now that did that just as well is Steven King’s The Shining. Great reaction! I was so impressed with your commentary in the outro, that I just joined your Patreon. I’m really excited to experience some great movies and shows with you. Looking forward to what’s to come, and I’m hoping to take part in some polls to help shape the future of your channel. Thanks for doing what you do!

Sup? Glad to see some familiar faces. ;-)

lol…I was thinking when I joined her Patreon, “wonder if I’ll see anyone I’ll recognize here?” Happy to be here with you. Just finished watching her full reaction to Forrest Gump. Wow! I always get emotional whenever I watch that movie, but I was blubbering idiot watching along with her. Good thing I wasn’t wearing make up 😉

First off… Yes you were funny in the opening. :-) You had me laughing. Fall taking a Chomp out of Summer. Nice One… because it’s true. This was the coolest August, I can remember and September completely feels like the Fall now. I have had the 4K Blu-ray of Jaws since Christmas and was planning to watch it this summer, because it’s a film I watch every summer. But this year, I somehow never got around to it. So it was a Happy Accident that allowed me to watch it for the first time this year with you. Your Reaction was terrific and you cried at all the right parts. ;-) I agree with your classification of the genre with this film. Not really Horror, but Terror. Jaws only becomes a Horror film when I watch it, knowing that I’m going in the ocean soon… and I’ve yet to do either of them concurrently. Jaws has always been more of an Adventure film with Terrifying moments for me. You mentioned the score. My favorite parts of John Williams’ score are the moments after Quint shoots Jaws with the barrels and they begin the chase. You said the music sounded “Hopeful,” and I agree. This is when the films lets you know that We’re Having Fun. It’s an Adventure and even though we’re hunting a dangerous shark, the music makes you feel like you want to be on the boat with them. There is another film that John Williams scored which plays with the Terror vs Adventure feeling that you find in Jaws. It’s called… The Poseidon Adventure (1972)… highly recommended. Agreed again on the Lack of Music, and how tense it makes you. The Music typically informs the viewers how their supposed to feel. When there is no music, you’re left with only your imagination. And in a terrifying, suspenseful situation when anything could jump out… you’re going to feel Terrified. It’s a tool that Spielberg used perfectly in this film. There’s another tool that Spielberg uses masterfully in Jaws and his other films, but not many people notice it. The Long Shot. There are many long shots used in Jaws, that further the story, change shot elements, such as framing and blocking and change camera position, all in a single shot, without cutting. Here is a breakdown of the longest scene in Jaws, which runs 2 minutes and 45 seconds. https://youtu.be/Vssobl5ndWc?si=yoNEkuLCNmA9R2Hk&t=2m15s Speaking of Happy Accidents… not everything in Jaws was planned. Actually the production is famous for being problematic and things had to be changed on the spot. The major problem was the Shark itself. Spielberg never originally planned to keep the Shark hidden for most of the movie. It was only after the mechanical shark kept failing and breaking down, did he decide to go a different route and create suspense in different ways. The script was being re-written daily to accommodate all the problems. In fact, the original script had the shark being shown in the first scene. It really makes you think if this film had been made today, how badly it would have ended up, with all the CGI that would have been used to fix the problems. Hell, they wouldn’t have even bothered with a mechanical shark. It would have been CGI from the beginning. Thankfully, we still have these Classics… untouched. (I’m looking at you George Lucas… give us the original Star Wars films, without CGI “corrections”… Please ;-) The USS Indianapolis monologue that Quint gives is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. It’s just one man telling a story for about 3 and a half minutes, but it’s nowhere near boring. Robert Shaw as Quint delivered that speech perfectly and in that moment you realize everything about his character and what drives him. That look on Richard Dreyfuss’ face was real, and it’s how we all felt after hearing it. Also what makes that speech so impactful is that it’s True. In fact, many people didn’t know the details of the USS Indianapolis, even in 1975. Many people learned about it, from watching this film. The story behind the USS Indianapolis speech making its way into the film is an interesting one as well. First… Peter Benchley wrote the novel which Jaws is based on, and the speech was not included in the novel. Then… Peter Benchley and writer Carl Gottlieb adapted the novel to a screenplay, but did not include a speech. (Both of these men appear as actors in Jaws by the way. Gottlieb played the town newspaper guy, Meadows, and Benchley played the TV News Guy on the beach with the microphone.) Then… screenwriter Howard Sackler, who would go on to script Jaws 2 (1978) with Gottlieb, had the idea to include something about Quint being on the Indianapolis, so he wrote a short story, about 2 paragraphs, and Spielberg added it to the script. Then… Spielberg later decided that he wanted more, so then asked one of his former college classmates and best friend, filmmaker John Milius, to write something, who in turn wrote a 9 page monologue. Then… Robert Shaw read it and loved it. But they decided it was too much. Shaw was going to be talking forever. So Robert Shaw, who was a novelist, playwright and screenwriter himself, having written the popular novel and stage play, The Man in the Glass Booth… edited John Milius’ 9 pages down to what was featured in the film. So, Howard Sackler’s idea, John Milius’ words, and Robert Shaw’s editing and delivery was how it happened. I hope you see more of John Milius’ work one day, if you haven’t already. Some of his highlights are… Dirty Harry (1971)… uncredited screenwriter Jeremiah Johnson (1972)… screenwriter The Wind and the Lion (1975)… writer and director Apocalypse Now (1979)… screenwriter Conan the Barbarian (1982)… writer and director Red Dawn (1984)… writer and director Clear and Present Danger (1994)… screenwriter Also… John Milius did some uncredited script editing on Saving Private Ryan (1998), which you just saw, same as Jaws. I’m curious which other films of Spielberg’s you haven’t seen? I’m still surprised when I find people that haven’t seen the Indiana Jones films. John Milius wrote some dialogue for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) too… uncredited ;-) Lastly, an aside… the Horror film you were talking about in the outro was Insidious (2010), and I had an opposite reaction to the film. You said when when you saw the dancing demon, it took you out of the film… where as I was scared stiff. That scene to this day gives me goosebumps and chills just thinking about it. I’d say maybe the most scary scene I’ve ever seen in a film. That dancing demon shows up in the middle of the day. Things like that aren’t supposed to happen in the day time and they aren’t supposed to be so clear and visible. She walks out to put the trash on the street and you hear the music change to Tiny Tim’s “Tiptoe Through the Tulips.” She walks back by the window and sees this little skinny, all black figure just dancing around like he’s supposed to be there, in the Middle Of The Day. He’s not supposed to be there. I mean what do you do? Run in there and shoo it away. You don’t know what it’s gonna do. It’s a Freakin’ Demon. That song freaks me out every time I hear it now. I had no idea who Tiny Tim was until I told my mom about the scene one day and the song, and she was like, “oh that’s Tiny Tim. He was on the Johnny Carson show all the time. He even got married on Carson’s show.” This sounded weird, so then we looked up an old video of Tiny Tim. This is what she showed me… https://youtu.be/zcSlcNfThUA?si=fcrhcszyEi3edjPw She thought this would help… I informed her that it did NOT. This video made the song EVEN MORE Creepy. WTH was wrong with these people.

Larry, you really need to put some more thought into your comments. Enough with these short, cryptic blurbs! lol…just kidding. There’s some really cool info in your comments. I didn’t know that about Quint and the USS Indianapolis. Really interesting. Believe it or not, my older sister once said there was something she found attractive about Tiny Tim 😳. I know, I know…don’t ask me why.

Enjoyed your reaction. Jaws (1975) is nearly 50 years old (half a century), and still good. I was age 12 when the movie was released, and remember how much of a phenomenon it was. Jaws (1975) is part of the culture. I think Quint destroyed the radio because he didn't want the Coast Guard involved in killing the shark.

When this came out in 1975, I was 13. We had a place on the ocean, and I almost got attacked by a shark that year. I had never seen a shark up close before that year or after while in the water. Everything you said about suspense and building tension in this movie was mostly by accident or mechanical error. Spielberg was lucky that he ran into many problems with the shark, making for a better movie.

Why is the volume so low? Poor edit

Kyle Berling

Wish I could say the same. Only video I've come across like this. Talk to patreon

Kyle Berling

Consider turning this into Patreon maybe? This very abnormal for me 😢

michael bunter

Hi the way this reaction started was really helpful with the movie being clear before going blurry was a big help to sync up the movie with your copy As for this movie this is the reason I don't swim in the ocean being eaten by a shark would be the most horrific way to go

michael bunter

Doesn't anyone else think it is weird even though it was the seventies that no one said anything about the mayor smoking in a hospital 😆🤣😆

MertzRocks

Watched this reaction right after your June reaction to ALIEN, and the volume on this one is way lower than that one was. You (and ALL reactors) should always try to have your levels up because our volumes only go so high, but we can turn you down easily. Sorry if that sounds like a nitpick, but you aren't the first one I've noticed who has done this. Still loved the reaction Tegan! 😍😘❤️‍🔥

MertzRocks

Nope! Totally normal back then. Only near oxygen ports might you see 🚭 signs. As a kid I hated that people smoked anywhere and everywhere, especially on trains and planes - and then I started when I was 18! 😮🙄 Thankfully I quit almost 20 years ago 🚭❤️ 🤘😎🎸

MertzRocks

Tegan, it is much lower than the volume for your ALIEN reaction. I commented separately on this. ❤️
