Re The Dark Knight: I think what happened is Heath Ledger came up with that bit in rehearsal and people don't understand the difference between that & improvisation.
Re: "Jaws is not a homework movie" I think this should be applied to the way we mostly enjoy all movies and other forms of art/entertainment. In the end, we should enjoy the things we like and even engage (and sometimes endure) the things we end up not liking out of our own amusement and not being like a mandatory thing to be in the conversation either IRL and/or in social media places like TH-cam.
I definitely didn't intend to guilt you! The movie is excellent, I cannot fault it either! Just, to me, if the question is "how would the world be different if _Jaws_ wasn't as popular," the popular perceptions of sharks come to mind way quicker than whether _Alien_ would've exsisted. I think the AU goes much beyond film.
"CGI" is a poor term anyways. It's mostly not referring to anything "computer generated", it's human generated using computers and software as their tool set. Simulations can be maybe considered "computer generated" but the VFX artists are still personally manipulating those considerably.
There are people calling historical photos that _aren't_ digitally manipulated "AI art." People accuse my voice of being "AI generated" in videos because "no one would talk like that."
@@SamAronow Reminds me of the time I saw someone complain about the "weird autotune effect" someone was using in their voiceovers ... and I'm like: no sir, he's just Irish - that's called an accent.
"AI" is used as a catch-all buzzword by many outlets and adverts nowadays so people pick it up without really understanding what it means. Honestly, just calling AI pictures "AI" is a misnomer as well but that's a whole different issue.
Patrick, now I want a Nebula video where you rank the best sweaters in movies. That or a video about fashion designers in film, like Armani being the costume designer for The Untouchables or Gaultier for City of the Lost Children and the Fifth Element. And Tom Ford being a good director!
There's an argument to be made that exploring the public's perception of sharks after Jaws and how it might have changed would touch on how media in general influences audiences... but that would turn into a much bigger project that would lie outside the scope of the topics in the video and I agree that the video flows better by keeping to just the core talking points. I'd be disappointed in myself if I didn't mention Steve Irwin's death and the "revenge" against stingrays by Australians though. Even at the time, it was pointed out how similar the situation was to the effect Jaws had on shark populations. Sorry to "both sides" this but I do realise that this channel is about film-making and not sociological paradigms.
Trucks can still not work in the way you need them to in the context of a movie though. Odd response. Same thing with the hospital explosion couldn’t possibly be an improv. Things do go wrong sometimes man!
Spielberg definitely didn’t make fin soup popular across a third of the world, but you could argue that JAWS probably has had some negative downstream influence on stuff like environmental policy. That said you could also argue that JAWS has helped save many more sharks by encouraging people to care about sea conservation.
I wouldn't call Japan and China third world countries, in spite being the countries where fin soup is most popular. Being highly industrial countries makes the issue even far worse.
Peter Benchley at least felt very guilty about Jaws contributing to declining populations. He dedicated the last few years of his life to conservation.
Duel already works very similarly to Jaws. Neither the shark nor the truck are supernatural, but the audience almost starts to believe they are based on the way they are presented. In Duel, the actual threat is coming from the driver...whom we never see.
Fun fact about Tremors: the script, as is often the case, was written years before the movie was made. In a documentary on the DVD, the writer mentions that his script was called "Land Shark" but decided to change the name when SNL made their "Jaws II" land shark sketch. That was the fall of 1975, shortly after Jaws itself came out. This may be why the first Tremors movie is great and the later ones, not so much. That first one was polished to a mirror finish because it had been kicking around for two decades.
Re viewing guides: There are a bunch of episodes I've skipped because you are talking about movies I haven't seen. Leaning into viewing guides would get me to watch more.
You legitimately should do outfit breakdowns somewhere after your videos! While I'm watching your video essays (and even the Patrick Replies videos), I often find myself wondering where you get your clothes since your style is always so on-point
I have not watched Jaws but I'm watching this. The reason is simple: I can watch this video in ten to twenty minute segments in between stuff, but for Jaws I need to block out a solid two hours when I'm in the mood to watch a scary movie and don't have anything else I have to be doing -- and then in that block of time, remember that I should probably go watch Jaws.
tremors is fantastic, and temors 2 is an example of what makes a good sequel film. funnily enough about jaws and homework; the first time i saw jaws was during an assignment about movie scores for my mother's homework in a course on music and psychology.
If you were to make a video on clothing/fashion in movies/TV, you must look at Star Trek TNG and DS9. I've always found it so interesting how costume designers chose to imagine clothing in the future. I feel like that generation of Star Trek takes an approach to future clothing that is far more realistic than the usual shiny/metalic/hyper-clean look that most sci-fi goes for. I particularly love the tunics and sweaters that show up throughout TNG.
I know you know what microfiche is, and I'm sure the others who replied knew that you knew what microfiche is. We were explaining microfiche for the benefit of others watching the video who might not have known.😊
If you haven't already, check out the podcast episode of I Was There Too where Matt Gourley visited Martha's Vineyard and interviewed people who were background actors and who interacted with the cast and crew.
I agree with Patrick that the controversy about Jaws and its effects on the general public, in regards to shark welfare, was not relevant to that video. That said, the vilification of animals in media and storytelling definitely leads to a higher rate of either indifference or outright lethal hostility towards those creatures. Most people do not leave a showing of a film with copious violence towards human with the sudden need to murder. On the other hand, one can just look around and see how ignorant portrayals of animals leads to unnecessary slaughter- the “othering” effect that makes it okay to hate the “lesser” species. People call each other snake and dirty rat, etc, and it leads to harmful outcomes to species that we bestow human intention upon, when really these animals are just going about their lives. I could go on but I’m really just saying: media violence = violent humans debate vs poor media portrayal of nature = destruction of vilified nature is not an apples to apples discussion
Jaws is also an interesting case, because while it did see a negative impact on sharks in the US (with shark fishing tournaments springing up), the main cause for shark depopulation is unrelated to Jaws. The biggest cause of shark depopulation is shark finning, to make shark fin soup or to sell fins for supposed health benefits, generally in China, a practice that predates Jaws (which wasn’t released there either). Jaws has also been largely responsible for a lot of research into sharks; just like Jurassic Park was responsible for many paleontologists, Jaws was responsible for many shark interested marine biologists. While I’m not a marine biologist, I feel like Hooper: I love sharks!
I think maybe, probably fairly, Patrick hadn’t even considered this side to it at all and felt that maybe people were criticizing the video for something it wasn’t trying to do.
Armakk is my buddy in real life, and it’s a joy to see his comments highlighted in these videos. (This is the second or third time I’ve seen it happen. 😅)
knitwear in cinema video doesn't have to have an essay thesis if it's a ranking list video! maybe would mean it's a nebula exclusive tho since lists & tier rankings aren't really what you do with this channel specifically.
Frank Mundus, the Montauk fisherman who Benchley based Quint on, went holy-hell on sharks in the wake of the book and the film and gained a fortune on the back of the shark craze. I think you can correlate the decline in shark fisheries with the sensation of the movie.
I think why many haven't seen Jaws is it's one of those movies that, before seeing it, someone could think they pretty much know what will happen. It's the same reason I was sure Titanic was going to bomb.
Knitwear in cinema is a great topic. As someone who knits and also keeps a running list of movies with notable knitwear, I’d love to see someone else’s list and find some new recommendations
Haven't seen Jaws 2, but maybe, to rehabilitate the public perception of sharks, Spielberg should make like Jaws 2: Judgement Day and have the OG shark return but now as the good guy.
On the topic of killing real-life sharks, I also don't have any hard statistics but I suspect exponentially more sharks get hunted for food (especially their fins which is a whole other ethical nightmare) than get hunted for sport or being a threat to swimmers. Especially over in the waters off Asia where it's a many generations old tradition.
20:20 Look ma, I'm on TV! I totally didn't expect that comment to get picked, it was long and rambly Edit: I really appreciate your pushback and your take on the idea. I definitely see how Sorcerer was, in a word, destined to blow out its budget just from how much of a force of Will (pun unintended, but noticed) that Friedkin's ego had spun into at that point. There's no way we get the Bridge scene without it costing several million dollars and several gruelling months of maniacal shooting all on its own
Showers are scary!!! A core fear of mine as a kid was that someone (or something) was hiding behind my shower curtain when I went to the bathroom (usually one of the Floop Fooglies who were also a core fear of mine as a child) so i would always check the shower before I turned my back to it
What if Michael Caine didn't actually buy his mother a new house and instead spent the earnings on loose cars and fast women, saying otherwise in interviews for optics?
Active shark killing is completely irrelevant to jaws. It's almost entirely due to Asian countries eating sharkfin soup, and as those countries become more well off, there is greater and greater demand for it. Western sports fishermen would be an irrelevant drop in that bucket.
lol I hadn't watched Jaws, but there was the Jows video AND another podcast channel I watch also did a Jaws video the same week, so I had to end up watching it. I figured I knew most of it from osmosis, but was still great even knowing all the scenes/plot/quotes etc.
Re: Jaws and impact on shark population. When you are making an essay, be it writing or video or audio, you have to laser focus on a specific framework and not go into side tangents that are unrelated to your main thesis statement. Otherwise it ends up being a rambling mess the reader/viewer finds difficult to follow or it comes off as a throwaway statement on a topic that should have its own thesis statement on another essay. In this situation when the main thesis statement is challenging the notion that Bruce (the mechanical shark) not working "saved" Jaws, talking about the impact of Jaws on spark populations does not contribute to it. The conversation should be had because often movies do indirectly contribute to sociological trends and unfortunately in some cases for the worse. But it needs to be a separate video and honestly someone other than Patrick, who I respect but even he would probably admit is not suited since he's not versed in ichthyology or sociology, would be the better communicator of that.
Hi Patrick (and Emma!). Another Nebula watcher. Loved your discussion on movie wardrobe. Since you're at the Nebula studios, ask LegalEagle how he got his Indochino suit sponsorship.
Hey Patrick, Chris here……. Just wondering if there are any additional screen stills and film footage of Chrissie’s death scene. That scene is truly terrifying and I’ve seen the usual still photos of her scenes from the film but I would imagine there is film footage of her death especially since the scene was shot in the daylight. I’d love to see more of the filming of the scene……any info or help is appreciated……thanks!!!!!
The comments about shark huntings were not blaming you, i think, Patrick - but the way you reply them made me blame you a little bit. Altough is kinda obvious, I never heard about this effect the movie had - I never watched it too, i just really like your videos for some reason (i'm kiding, it's because of emma). One of the reasons we don't understand the problems with the industry as much as we should - to better it - is this kind of omission of social topics in our movie discussions, usually to focus on the tecnical or the commercial. None of the comments about it "guilted" you, so please take them as a constructive criticism, maybe your audience would like those "heavy" subjects in the videos, maybe you should expand your studies to include more of the social impacts of movies, maybe we need more politics in this multiverse of yours - but maybe it's just me, the anti-capitalist vegan that sees politics in everything. The reason i didn't saw Jaws in the first place was i read the book and not only didn't liked it that much, but also saw some racist passages - i can't recall the exact chapter or anything, and it could be my old brazilian translated edition worsening the problem, but it demotivaded me. Anyway, I don't know you, but you seem like a nice guy, so please stop felling guilty because someone pointed a problem with a film you had nothing to do with, try to learn from their mistake, think on how to create art that inspire people to do good things - like killing billionaire instead of sharks - so you can listen to great comments like these without getting defensive by self-guilt. That "alternetive universe with a lot more sharks in it because of the failure of Jaws" idea was gold, man.
Patrick! The Millenium trilogy is an amazing book series! But yeah the Fincher movie is kinda meh. It lacks a certain Nordicness. I love the original Swedish films tho.
Showers weren't scary before Psycho? My dude, I guess you're not old enough to get the "if I slip in the shower, I might die" thought in your head yet. You'll get there though. Soon.
unfortunately I don't think you can revisit Jaws 3 because it was Jaws 3-D! You can't watch Jaws 3-d not in 3-d. Maybe there will be film festival in NYC that show it.

You mentioning how aspirational the costumes in The Talented Mr. Ripley are is so funny, because I recently finished watching the Andrew Scott Ripley, and while the cast are obviously hotties, something I really appreciated about it is that it took away that perfectly golden glow of the idealized southern European coastal living, and presented a story that was so much more gloomy and unnerving than both the previous adaptations. I still love the Minghella version, but even though it’s obviously a horrific story about very unpleasant characters, you really can’t help but look at all those pretty people and wonder whether you could pull off their looks.
I'm three weeks late, but Jaws 3-D and Jaws the Revenge aren't really worth it. 3D has it's moments, but is kinda dumb and may only be really worth it if the 3D gimmick is in use and Revenge is openly insulting to the original
Woah I'm in the three-timers club! Gonna share this with my Vineyard bestie and his dad. 😆 If you like filmmaking from a filmmaker's perspective I'm dropping new videos every day on the BTS of the feature films I've made.
Jurassic Park is an abysmal adaptation. First, the radical thesis of the novel was thrown out altogether. Okay, fine, but the movie even then fails on its own terms. The tense encounters in the novel (especially Nedry's death) are far more frightening on the page than what ended up on the screen. The novel gave an exponentially creepier sense of humans confronting creatures from a truly alien world.
I know tons of people who haven't seen Star Wars. There's a lot more work involved. You really have to watch the whole trilogy--and, even then, it's only 2½ good movies. And Star Wars Fandom is annoying and turns people off.
I have a recommendation for adaptations, just a fun experience I'd recommend, watch the Fight Club commentary with Chuck Palahniuk and David Fincher, it's really nice. They have a good time and respect each other, no one's in a pissing contest. I remember a number of times Palahniuk was like "Oh, yeah I really like how you changed things here"
We’re all missing out on a new series called “ Patrick Wears”, just breakdowns of his favorite fashion in cinema and him finding matching clothes.
I know this comment is a half joke but although a series might be excessive, a video about costume design could be cool.
@@youtubeviolatedme7123 I’m actually serious, we got the needle drop episode, why not costume design?
I wonder if when AJ watched Jaws, he was thinking 'Getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this'.
Emma please tell Patrick I won’t know joy in life again until he makes the movie sweater video

The reason i didn't saw Jaws in the first place was i read the book and not only didn't liked it that much, but also saw some racist passages - i can't recall the exact chapter or anything, and it could be my old brazilian translated edition worsening the problem, but it demotivaded me.
Anyway, I don't know you, but you seem like a nice guy, so please stop felling guilty because someone pointed a problem with a film you had nothing to do with, try to learn from their mistake, think on how to create art that inspire people to do good things - like killing billionaire instead of sharks - so you can listen to great comments like these without getting defensive by self-guilt. That "alternetive universe with a lot more sharks in it because of the failure of Jaws" idea was gold, man.
Ugh fine I'll watch Boss Baby
Patrick! The Millenium trilogy is an amazing book series! But yeah the Fincher movie is kinda meh. It lacks a certain Nordicness. I love the original Swedish films tho.
Showers weren't scary before Psycho? My dude, I guess you're not old enough to get the "if I slip in the shower, I might die" thought in your head yet. You'll get there though. Soon.
if the comments aren't trying to make you guilty, are they even comments?
unfortunately I don't think you can revisit Jaws 3 because it was Jaws 3-D! You can't watch Jaws 3-d not in 3-d. Maybe there will be film festival in NYC that show it.
You mentioning how aspirational the costumes in The Talented Mr. Ripley are is so funny, because I recently finished watching the Andrew Scott Ripley, and while the cast are obviously hotties, something I really appreciated about it is that it took away that perfectly golden glow of the idealized southern European coastal living, and presented a story that was so much more gloomy and unnerving than both the previous adaptations. I still love the Minghella version, but even though it’s obviously a horrific story about very unpleasant characters, you really can’t help but look at all those pretty people and wonder whether you could pull off their looks.
I'm three weeks late, but Jaws 3-D and Jaws the Revenge aren't really worth it. 3D has it's moments, but is kinda dumb and may only be really worth it if the 3D gimmick is in use and Revenge is openly insulting to the original
Woah I'm in the three-timers club! Gonna share this with my Vineyard bestie and his dad. 😆 If you like filmmaking from a filmmaker's perspective I'm dropping new videos every day on the BTS of the feature films I've made.
Am watching this video. Never saw Jaws. I can't have Jaws playing while I work, but this sort of thing is fine.
Jurassic Park is an abysmal adaptation. First, the radical thesis of the novel was thrown out altogether. Okay, fine, but the movie even then fails on its own terms. The tense encounters in the novel (especially Nedry's death) are far more frightening on the page than what ended up on the screen. The novel gave an exponentially creepier sense of humans confronting creatures from a truly alien world.
Whaaat!? The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (book) is a thriller masterpiece!! 🫣

I keep thinking this is Patrick explains, and have to hunt for this channel. I doubt people see this channel first.
Not sure which is stranger: someone who has never watched Jaws or someone who has never watched Star Wars.
I know tons of people who haven't seen Star Wars. There's a lot more work involved. You really have to watch the whole trilogy--and, even then, it's only 2½ good movies. And Star Wars Fandom is annoying and turns people off.
I have a recommendation for adaptations, just a fun experience I'd recommend, watch the Fight Club commentary with Chuck Palahniuk and David Fincher, it's really nice. They have a good time and respect each other, no one's in a pissing contest. I remember a number of times Palahniuk was like "Oh, yeah I really like how you changed things here"
