Watching this clip, it struck me that the torn lilo washing up on the beach floating in bloody water, is a portent of the shot of Omaha Beach in "Saving Private Ryan", with waves breaking over the corpses and staining the sand with blood. That's an insight into how filmmakers reuse very impressive shots in other films.
Right? It has no modern special effects or cgi etc and it's still one of the best movies I've ever seen. If your actors performances are brilliant and the storytelling is done right, you don't need any of the effects.
It’s a miracle you’re still alive today. Repent & Believe on JESUS CHRIST, that HE died on the cross for your sins, was buried, & rose again the 3rd day according to the Scriptures. Tomorrow is not promised. Now is the day of salvation.
@@myotherusernamerules Yes, he died for the the sins of all who would repent & trust in HIM ALONE for salvation. JESUS saves sinners from sin & from eternal Hell.
And to think it was going to be even worse: they originally filmed the shark coming out of the water and engulfing Alex in his mouth but cut that scene in editing because it would've been too much. It's gruesome enough as it is. You can find pictures of it online.
It's not the most visually spectacular scene, but the realistic horror of how quick and silent an attack would be makes it scary. Any other movie shark attack looks to epic to be scary. Deep Blue Sea had a dope idea, but every kill was like "OH SH1T, THAT WAS AWSOME!!". This legit made me shake in my boots.
I was 10, I think ... swimming pools only after that! 😄 ... been in the cean since, only about hip high usually. Except for the Gulf, neck high! Would kayak in it, too. I didn't know about bull sharks ... then somebody said something about them in there 😬 ... in my 50s by then ... I never watched the movie after seeing it in the theater. Very Good movie. I don't know that I would want to, though, and reinstitute that fear!!! 🌊 ⛱️ 🦈
Where I was working at, at the time, some people I was speaking to about kayaking ... I'd portage off the Veteran's memorial park, and this was/is in the Gulf ... THEY told me about bull sharks ... I had erroneously assumed sharks wouldn't really be in the bay ... oh yes. Yes, they are! 😳
@@adipsous Spielberg returned to Dreyfus for Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I absolutely love that movie but it is not for everybody. Most either love it or hate it kind of like 2001 a Space Odyssey.
Jaws will always remain my favorite movie since I first seen it in 75 when I was 10. I was a weird kid. Alex scene is still my favorite scene. Long Live Bruce❤
I had surgery just a few years back and was wheeled into my room afterwards, half groggy at 11:00pm. To take my mind off my recovery, I turned on the TV and lo and behold Jaws was on and just started. I watched the whole thing. Almost 50 years after I first watched the movie as a kid, I never would’ve sensed I would be watching it as an older guy, out of surgery, and marveling again what a brilliant and entertaining movie it is. It made its mark the first time at 12 years of age, and again as a senior. Thanks for helping me take my mind off things , Steven!
Hope you’ve recovered well from surgery! I’ve unfortunately had to have a few surgeries, and I always enjoyed watching movies when recovering. Lucky for you a great movie was on right when you needed it :)
One of the most primal, traumatizing movies, of all time. All hail, Steven Spielberg and John Williams for reminding us of our primal fear of the sea. All hail, Jaws.
Same here. But in the 90s, I really forced myself to become scuba certified to overcome my fears. Still, everytime I dive, I am super aware of my surroundings.
Easily one of the best scenes of all time. That zoom in shot to me is crucial. As a up an coming film director, I go back classics like this and just overly admire how they did things back then. And how it affected the fans mindset of how we move! Thank you very very much for iconic film!!
I was living in Ft Lauderdale when this movie came out - we used to swim by the pier and take the waves back to shore. Went to see this movie with my family - never went back in again lol. I can't believe we were in pretty deep water by the pier - a lot of bull sharks hang out there. Thank Jesus for none of us getting harmed. This was an eye opener movie for me.
Charrski - You don't look old enough to have been swimming in the 70's - wow, unless your profile pic is 15 years old, like mine...🤣🤦🏻♂️ I can't/don't judge, I'm lazy...😜
@melissamarini1491 - Haha, I can't say that I've stayed out of the ocean all these years...but I definitely have sharks in the back of my mind always 🤣
That was a great scene because the special effects, albeit were quite simple, was creative and instrumental enough to create a phenomenal visual of a shark attack on a child in shallow water at the beach.
@SteveBerryhill The original book Jaws by author Peter Benchley was required reading for me in high school before the movie came out. The victims were Chrissie Watkins, Alex Kintner, Ben Gardner, the Estuary victim, Quint, and the dog, Pippit. I've learned more than I could feasibly list here. I still have it on DVD which I recorded myself. 🩶🦈🩶
Wondered if anyone else thought this. The very real lethal attack on poor Vladimir Popov in Egypt looked _precisely_ like this exact scene from "Jaws".
Got scared of the sharks for a few years until i learned more of them, was gonna go back to the ocean until a girl from my town died from jellyfish sting. Byebye sea!
Spielberg has never made a horror movie before this. Who knew that his very first horror film would turn out to be one of the greatest masterpieces in cinema?
Not technically true. Steven Spielberg made Duel before Jaws and it is just as intense as Jaws. It was a made for tv movie. Watch it if you haven’t already.
I'm 59. My parents wouldn't let me watch this when it came out, but a buddy's neighbor gave me the book. The book scared the shit out of me. When I finally watched the film years later...damn. Still worked.
The book was assigned reading in high school for our class before the movie came out. I have the movie I recorded myself on a DVD. GREAT cast too. Robert Shaw was quite the actor. At that time, he was an alcoholic. Some people were assigned to follow him around offscreen. He at times made his escape to drink. 🥴 He also did much writing. Maybe painting too. Yes, I love sharks. Retired to Florida. I refuse to venture into any waterways for more reasons than sharks! I'll watch the professionals, but not Ocean Ramsey. She's an imbecile imo! Lastly, the Indianapolis Speech he made was his own. Beforehand, he was given 3-4 pages for his speech. 😂
there's a brilliance to the whole package that you'll never find today. real life props, excellent acting, compelling and on-the-edge of your seats story.
It's the beginning of the film that got me. The music, the girl being attacked again and again until she went down. Then there was the storytelling on the fated boat to bring Jaws in. Brilliant storytelling.
One of the few "horror" movies you could actually picture happening. I was 10 years old that summer and at the beach almost every middle school kid was either pretending they were a shark or pretending they were being attacked. The only other horror movie that felt real to me was the original Halloween. I remember walking outside at night after watching it and thinking Michael Myers was going to pop out from somewhere.
My mother's favorite movie. She watched so many times last year. It was crazy. If she could. She would have posters and bed sheets as if she were a teenage girl, but she's 64.❤
What do you mean unfortunately? They live to kill or to die. There is no "life" for them in the sense of human life. Dont feel bad. Theyre either alive to kill something or theyre not
Saw this at the movies when it first came out. Prior to the movie ,My mom and Sister treated us to a McDonalds orange shake. I was so scared watching the movie ! When I got home I threw the shake up. I never drank an orange shake , again and I’ve never been in the ocean since that movie. And…I have no desire to ever go in the ocean again! Great movie, though.
Me too 😥 I cried over the dog 🐕 AND yes, I cried over the boy too. His poor Mother. The ONLY parent at the beach 🏖️ who didn’t have a child come out of the ocean 🌊 🦈 😢
I was on vacation at The Outer Banks, NC when this came out, and watched it in a local theater. Great movie. Back in the water the next day without a second thought. 🤷♂️
The stick just floating, innocently... The CYA mentality (and greed) of the town and the mayor, the cinematography, the characters, it's just brilliant.
I was 9 years old and we lived in a beach town in CA. We literally lived in an apartment on the beach! Everyday of my existence was spent on that beach. Did I mention that I lived on the beach? Saw this movie twice. Theatres were packed all summer. Everybody screamed at the scary scenes. But that wasn't the most memorable thing. It was the fact that no one would go in the water after watching the movie. Seriously, people stayed away from the water. Everyone. It was, "If you go in, I'll go in". People would stary close together. Crazy memories from the 70's.
ps, there is a documentary on this movie. Most people don't know it was one Spielbergs first movies. And it became more suspenseful because the mechanical shark was often broken and in the repair shop so they had to film without it. That's what made the movie more suspenseful. "Where's the shark?" Anyway, good times.
yes this IS THE SCENE! the fact that it was child that died in such a simple common beach scene. I was 8 years old when my parents took me to see this at the theater and was traumitized for many months after. I would go to sleep at night thinking my bed was a raft.
I mean this scene was scary but I think the scene that really got me was the Estuary victim with the shot of the shark going under the man. Great shot. Horrifying, but great shot.
It did after the movie came out because many people were out killing sharks. The author, Peter Benchley was so outraged that he became an advocate for sharks. We understand much more about them today. However, there's much more to learn.
love the way Spielberg framed this sequence especially zooming in on Roy as the shark reveals itself. it raises the tension just like the music. this is Filmmaking 101
I grew up in New Zealand. I remember as a 6 year old my 27 y.o aunty going to see this film when it was released in the 1970s. She ended up walking out and throwing up as she found it absolutely terrifying.
@@philHMtheOfficialno, Pipen was the black dog in the scene before the beach attack, he was eaten offscreen by the shark and that was why his owner was calling for him. Although the dog in The Meg was named Pipen as an easter egg to this movie.
Just watching these scenes you can appreciate what an incredible movie this was. The directing is first rate. The way Brody is filmed on the beach during the attack. And then our first sighting of the dangerous Quint is, as we would say now, "epic". What an actor was Robert Shaw.
Scariest movie of all time!!! Literally scared people out of the Ocean, no other movie affected people like this. I still today think twice about entering the ocean, and definitely wouldn’t go out very far
My parents took my older brothers to watch this at one of those drive in movies. Apparently they looked back at the boys to check on them and they had hurdled over the back seat in terror 🤣
I had to go to the doctor once because I kept getting strong heart palpitations. He questioned me a bit and we worked out that the problem was that I'd been watching all the Jaws films back to back. 😂
My dad took me to see the film for my 7th birthday telling me it was about a big fish. We nearly got kicked out of the ABC in Glasgow after I started screaming when a head popped out a hole in a sunken boat.
Thanks to this movie. I only swim in pools to this day.😂😂 For years after seeing Jaws I wouldn't swim in pools. The night I conquered that fear was a great night..😂😂
I grew up as a Navy brat and while living on Hawaii my father in his infinite wisdom decided to take me to see Jaws. It took him nearly a year to get me in a swimming pool much less the ocean. I grew up with the ocean and never feared anything in it, just had a healthy respect. Jaws changed that. Now the only thing on planet earth I fear are sharks.
My favorite scene is when the shark pokes his head out of the water and Roy Scheider say your gonna need a bigger boat. The expression on his face when he sees the shark.
The zoom into Brody's face of shock was one of the great shots of all time. I remember as a kid watching this at the theater, that shot made what was happening even more impactful.
Good 'ol dolly zoom from Vertigo.
Actually that paired with the mom calling Alex’s name was pretty impactful too.
Alfred Hitchcock invented this shot for Vertigo, Spielberg used it later. Very impactful, as you said.
Agreed. I loathe CGI garbage. Movies, film I call it, is greatly enhanced by sharp witty dialogue and the cinematography.
Yes, as a 12 yr old sitting in the theater, it was crazy. The hair on my neck stood up.
Jaws, The Exorcist, and Alien were horror classics of that decade.
Yep! Extraordinary staying power with all 3!!!
Don't forget about Halloween, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Carrie and the Omen. Those movies gave me nightmares 😫.
Thanks captain obvious

Best introduction to Quint ever. Robert Shaw was a master class actor
Great actor! Was perfect for the part with Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider. He died only 3 years later after the movie debut.
He was, long before Jaws. "Force 10 From Navarone" with Harrison Ford, and Carl Weathers, Taking Of Pelham 123, others..

Scared the whole world with this scene. Steven Spielberg knows how to put a good scare into movies!!
I was afraid to even sit on the bathtub after seeing this as a child. An eternal classic this is.
And to think it was going to be even worse: they originally filmed the shark coming out of the water and engulfing Alex in his mouth but cut that scene in editing because it would've been too much. It's gruesome enough as it is. You can find pictures of it online.

Jaws is incredible because there isn’t one person who isn’t scared of being eaten up by a wild animal in the ocean it is a universal fear
This nostalgia scene that never gets old
I saw this movie in 1975, and it has kept me out of the ocean since then.
Me as well. I was a senior in high school summer school. I was in a new town, no friends and went to see it on my own. Had nightmares for a MONTH.
Same here. But in the 90s, I really forced myself to become scuba certified to overcome my fears. Still, everytime I dive, I am super aware of my surroundings.
I had trouble jumping into the pool an hour after got home from seeing it.

Kid and dog...What?!
@SteveBerryhill The original book Jaws by author Peter Benchley was required reading for me in high school before the movie came out.
The victims were Chrissie Watkins, Alex Kintner, Ben Gardner, the Estuary victim, Quint, and the dog, Pippit.

The stick just floating, innocently... The CYA mentality (and greed) of the town and the mayor, the cinematography, the characters, it's just brilliant.
Sorry lady, if it matters your kid won the “Looks like a seal to me” contest.
Damn 😆
I was 9 years old and we lived in a beach town in CA. We literally lived in an apartment on the beach! Everyday of my existence was spent on that beach. Did I mention that I lived on the beach? Saw this movie twice. Theatres were packed all summer. Everybody screamed at the scary scenes. But that wasn't the most memorable thing. It was the fact that no one would go in the water after watching the movie. Seriously, people stayed away from the water. Everyone. It was, "If you go in, I'll go in". People would stary close together. Crazy memories from the 70's.
ps, there is a documentary on this movie. Most people don't know it was one Spielbergs first movies. And it became more suspenseful because the mechanical shark was often broken and in the repair shop so they had to film without it. That's what made the movie more suspenseful. "Where's the shark?" Anyway, good times.
yes this IS THE SCENE! the fact that it was child that died in such a simple common beach scene. I was 8 years old when my parents took me to see this at the theater and was traumitized for many months after. I would go to sleep at night thinking my bed was a raft.
I mean this scene was scary but I think the scene that really got me was the Estuary victim with the shot of the shark going under the man. Great shot. Horrifying, but great shot.
This movie gives sharks a bad name. 🦈
It did after the movie came out because many people were out killing sharks. The author, Peter Benchley was so outraged that he became an advocate for sharks. We understand much more about them today. However, there's much more to learn.
It’s been almost 50 years since I saw this in the theater-and I can’t bear to watch it now.
Back when the movies had a sense of innocence and simplicity
love the way Spielberg framed this sequence especially zooming in on Roy as the shark reveals itself. it raises the tension just like the music. this is Filmmaking 101
I watch this movie every summer 👌
I grew up in New Zealand. I remember as a 6 year old my 27 y.o aunty going to see this film when it was released in the 1970s. She ended up walking out and throwing up as she found it absolutely terrifying.
Poor kid! Poor Pipen!
Who's pipen?
@@philHMtheOfficial a dog.
@@denisefreitas6727 you mean the dog in The Meg?
@@philHMtheOfficialno, Pipen was the black dog in the scene before the beach attack, he was eaten offscreen by the shark and that was why his owner was calling for him. Although the dog in The Meg was named Pipen as an easter egg to this movie.
@@wyattnowak11I thought it was pippet but o well😅
Just watching these scenes you can appreciate what an incredible movie this was. The directing is first rate. The way Brody is filmed on the beach during the attack. And then our first sighting of the dangerous Quint is, as we would say now, "epic". What an actor was Robert Shaw.
FIRST, I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!
Greatest cinematic movie at all times
Classic
Scariest movie of all time!!! Literally scared people out of the Ocean, no other movie affected people like this. I still today think twice about entering the ocean, and definitely wouldn’t go out very far
I haven't been in the ocean past my ankles since I saw this movie. Just watching this clip has my blood pressure pounding!
I went to see this at the cinema with a couple of friends when it was released in the UK. We were 14.
My parents took my older brothers to watch this at one of those drive in movies. Apparently they looked back at the boys to check on them and they had hurdled over the back seat in terror 🤣
The scene with Quint and the Indianapolis! 😥😥😥
1:38 that guy with the white hat is having a good time
I had to go to the doctor once because I kept getting strong heart palpitations. He questioned me a bit and we worked out that the problem was that I'd been watching all the Jaws films back to back. 😂
That dolly focus pull is exquisite!
I absolutely loved everything about this film ❤the efforts of the chief trying to protect everyone such good acting from all the stars 🌟
My dad took me to see the film for my 7th birthday telling me it was about a big fish.
We nearly got kicked out of the ABC in Glasgow after I started screaming when a head popped out a hole in a sunken boat.
It should be re released n theater to scare the hell out of this generation.
Why?
The dialogue in this movie is perfect. Now that I’m older, it’s only gotten better.
Thanks to this movie. I only swim in pools to this day.😂😂 For years after seeing Jaws I wouldn't swim in pools. The night I conquered that fear was a great night..😂😂
I saw this movie right before my first trip to
Southern California and the beach. I never even wet my feet!!😆😂🤣😆
I grew up as a Navy brat and while living on Hawaii my father in his infinite wisdom decided to take me to see Jaws. It took him nearly a year to get me in a swimming pool much less the ocean. I grew up with the ocean and never feared anything in it, just had a healthy respect. Jaws changed that. Now the only thing on planet earth I fear are sharks.
If this were made today, the director would want a giant CGI shark shown in fine detail, leaving nothing to the imagination.
My favorite scene is when the shark pokes his head out of the water and Roy Scheider say your gonna need a bigger boat. The expression on his face when he sees the shark.
Fabulous movie, I know its all about the shark but I love the seaside and the beaches in this film are stunning, I just wouldn't go in the sea!! 😊
The camera work on this movie is amazing.
Reply if you made it in the one hour mark
HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY JAWS!
All time great movie
Unsurpassed classic
