    In the 1990's Lee Fiero (the woman who played Mrs. Kintner and slapped Chief Brody) was on vacation with a friend. She walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed they had a menu item called the Alex Kitner Sandwich. She mentioned she played Alex's mom. Suddenly the restaurant owner ran out of the back and hugged her. It was Jeff Vorhees, the actor who played her son. It was the first time they saw each other since principal shooting wrapped.

      Even if the shark prop was an absolute nightmare to work with, since it had been designed and built for use in fresh water, with the assumption it would be used in a tank at a studio set. As a result of being used in the actual ocean, it broke down all the time and sank a few times too. This actually helped the movie, because they could only show the shark sparingly, forcing Steven Spielberg to get creative and really ratchet up the tension

Anyway, in 1975, we didn't have cable or vcrs or dvds. I saw it in the theater 5 times that summer. The first time, the jump scare with Ben Gardner's head got everyone in the theater. When Brody blows up the shark at the end, the entire theater got up and gave the happening a standing ovation. By the time I saw it for the 5th time, there were a bunch of bratty teens saying a lot of the movie's lines before the actors did and no ovation at the end. I guess everyone had seen it about as many times as I did, but I was still loving it.

    The purpose of the barrels is to tire the animal out and keep it near the surface, where it could be harpooned or even effectively shot. Also, once the animal was taken, if the barrels weren't on it, it would likely sink and then there's no evidence you got the shark. Small caliber bullets, especially shooting at something under the water, can be problematic on an animal of that size.

    • @davida7153
      @davida7153 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So due to the barrels, the rests of the shark are there, hanging at some point in the dark deep, after Brody blowed the shark up.

    • @GlassJAw413
      @GlassJAw413 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Most sharks need to be constantly moving to breathe so the barrels should cause enough drag that the shark gets fatigued and slow it down to the point that it can't breathe and should drown/ suffocate.

    • @WisteriaDrake
      @WisteriaDrake 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Also, it's hard to shoot at anything in the water or in the ground. Water has much more resistance than air, which slows the bullet down dramatically. This not only decreases the range, it also decreases the power it has, and you'll need a lot of "stopping power" on something as large as a shark. A 25-ft Great White would need a hell of a lot of small arms fire to take down, and the best weapon they had seems to be a M1 Garand, probably loaded with .30-06 Springfield. It's a decent round and a great rifle, but little ammunition. The harpoon, on the other hand, isn't designed to kill the shark but to attach the air tanks that'll keep the shark from escaping while also potentially drowning it.
      Additionally, this is Quint's job, so the other two probably packed what he told them to bring. As we saw, even he wasn't prepared for this beast, so it's highly unlikely that Brody would have thought to bring much in the way of weaponry.

      There's a similar tragedy during that time period most people (including myself) had never heard of, in fact, it's the second deadliest mass shark attack in history. In 1943 the US transport ship Cape San Juan was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, it carried 1,464 passengers and crew with the bulk being made up of the 855th Engineer Aviation Battalion, an all-black unit. Of the 1,464 passengers and crew, only 448 survived, just 54 less than the USS Indianapolis tragedy.

      This is also a somewhat incorrect read. The shark is not intended to be a realistic shark. By the end the film has gone almost into the supernatural or purely metaphorical. Quint would have been fine w a real or realistic shark. He wasn't 'overconfident' and didn't make tactical shark-hunting errors. He plays it perfectly. But they weren't dealing w a real shark. It is foolish to break this down as if it's a realistic film or shark. It gets more and more surreal as it goes on at sea.

    Believe it or not, using standard firearms against a shark isn't as effective as you think they may be. Having to shoot through water slows bullets down, thereby reducing their penetrating power. This is why Quint was using a harpoon gun and barrels. The barrels increase the drag on the shark, causing the shark to spend more and more energy to keep water flowing over its gills. As the shark expends more energy, it starts to get tired, and in turn, swims slower. Soon it runs out of energy and effectively suffocates.

    It was a ton of fun watching you take in a truly classic movie. Jaws is a classic for many, many reasons. And it still puts most modern movies to shame because it’s an extremely well-written film with terrific characters - something that many movies lack and try to make up for with over-bloated CGI effects. In the end, what matters most is story and characters. And it’s these two ingredients (plus many others) that make Jaws a film that people still talk about to this very day.
    I would like to respond to your comment after the film regarding certain choices that characters made. The man and the woman in the beginning go swimming drunk because people do dumb shit all the time when they’re drunk. Swimming in the ocean, driving a car, shooting a gun... you name it, people have done it while inebriated. As for Quint destroying the radio on his own boat, he was a man who was obviously haunted by his past. He was a proud, capable man who was obviously an alpha male in most situations. Being a man that was used to being in control, Quint started to unravel the moment the shark showed up and continuously demonstrated to Quint that he was not going to be the one in control. Quint destroyed the radio because he was a frazzled mess and he couldn’t handle the shark beating him at his own game. Like most of the characters in Jaws, Quint is a multi-layered character and is one of the reasons people love this film almost 50 years after it first came out.

    At that point, I recall there being only these ratings: G for everyone, PG for more mature audiences (some strong moments), R for 18 and older, and X for porn. In order to garner more audiences, Spielberg avoided the R rating by arguing that a shark doesn’t typically attack humans on land. It’s an exotic situation.

This puts them through multiple challenges besides just fighting the fire. Also, does a great job at showing their bravery as well. Plus an all-star cast led by Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dumaway, and Fred Astaire just to name a few of the A-list cast that is in this film.
