Reacting to JAWS (1975) | Movie Reaction
![บุษบา - มอส รัศมี [COVER VERSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_n0yENSl8d8/mqdefault.jpg)
*Fun fact:* the movie was filmed in Martha's Vineyard and one of the kids who played the prank with the fake shark fin actually became the real life police chief of Martha's Vineyard last year.
That's cool
As Dawn just skips over the entire Indianapolis speech, one of the greatest monologues in movie history. 😄
I know right? C'mon Dawn, do better.
Probably because she never heard of it.
I came here looking for someone to be grumpy about it.
Exactly.
Probably a Patreon scene. Many reactors keep famous scenes behind the paywall.
Per IMBD
Several decades after the filming of Jaws (1975), Lee Fierro, who plays Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago. The owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot.
Jeffrey's brother, Jason, would later take revenge for the death.
And Lee's annoying cousin Guy, from the Fieri branch of the family, savaged that restauant.
I see this story on every reaction to Jaws... and I never get tired of it!
Well… she IS blond!
Other people watching Jaws: 'This is a masterpiece of cinema.'
Dawn watching Jaws: 'I'm pretty sure I saw a testicle.'
Shark's got nards!!
That's why I watch her.
The story about the USS Indianapolis was true. One of my friends was the last surviving member of the Indianapolis’ US Marine Corps detachment. He passed away a couple years ago. RIP Ed Harrell and all my other shipmates.
Wait, "All my other shipmates?" So you were on the ship? I'm confused. Also, if he was one of your friends, why weren't you in the war?
@@stucorbettyes, all friends have to be the same age and fit for service at the same time or they legally can’t be friends.
Semper fi
Sounds made up 😂
@@mattarby8931 Absolutely not. Look up Ed Harrell. He wrote a book about his experience..
"Has there been many more shark movies after this? "
Oh you sweet summer child...
They don't have to pay that guy anymore LOL. That's the best line at the end of this movie that I have ever heard!
Probably got half up front. Went down with the Orca. But yeah, it was funny
that must be very Scottish/British humor
If you watch Jaws backwards, it's actually a heartwarming story about a shark passing out limbs to the disabled.
Never heard that one before a million times, can you sense the sarcasm 🤔😂
What the blazing hell is wrong with you?! (Lol!)
You know, that's right!
You know, that's right!
I say similar things about Roots.
I remember the stupid kid joke from this movie. The girl that died at the start of the movie didn't have Dandruff, they found her Head and Shoulders on the beach.
shouldn't that be had dandruff.
I lol'd
That was a Russ Abbott joke originally.
took me a while to get it
The story about the USS Indianapolis is a true story. Quint pretty much told it like it really happened. Not many people in the United States had heard about the sinking and the sharks until this movie came out....I didn't. 4-5 days in the ocean without water, by itself would be unendurable, but to have all that water around you and you can't drink would drive me mad!
The story was very embellished. Look it up before saying it was accurate, because it's not.
The Indianapolis story when it comes to the sharks is extremely exaggerated. The majority of the people who died, were killed from dehydration and the elements of being in the water or from the initial attack itself. There were entire groups of survivors that didn't see a shark one single time. Don't get me wrong sharks were there but most of the people were scavenged by the sharks and while there were some injured people who were killed by them, very few people were actually killed by the sharks themselves compared to everything else.
Absolutely. The story is both true, and very embellished. Perfect for Quint's salty old character.
Navy command did not know of the ship's sinking until survivors were spotted in the open ocean three and a half days later. At 10:25 on 2 August, a PV-1 Ventura flown by Lieutenant Wilbur "Chuck" Gwinn and his copilot, Lieutenant Warren Colwell, and a PBY-2 Catalina piloted by Bill Kitchen spotted the men adrift while on a routine patrol flight.[26] Gwinn immediately dropped a life raft and radio transmitter. All air and surface units capable of rescue operations were dispatched to the scene at once.
First to arrive was an amphibious PBY-5A Catalina patrol plane flown by Lieutenant Commander (USN) Robert Adrian Marks. Marks and his flight crew spotted the survivors and dropped life rafts; one raft was destroyed by the drop while others were too far away from the exhausted crew. Against standing orders not to land in open ocean, Marks took a vote of his crew and decided to land the aircraft in twelve-foot (3.7 m) swells. He was able to maneuver his craft to pick up 56 survivors. Space in the plane was limited, so Marks had men lashed to the wing with parachute cord. His actions rendered the aircraft unflyable. After nightfall, the destroyer escort USS Cecil J. Doyle, the first of seven rescue ships, used its searchlight as a beacon and instilled hope in those still in the water. Cecil J. Doyle and six other ships picked up the remaining survivors. After the rescue, Marks' plane was sunk by Cecil J. Doyle as it could not be recovered.[27]
Many of the survivors were injured, and all suffered from lack of food and water (leading to dehydration and hypernatremia; some found rations, such as Spam and crackers, among the debris of the Indianapolis), exposure to the elements (dehydration from the hot sun during the day and hypothermia at night, as well as severe desquamation due to continued exposure to saltwater and bunker oil), and shark attacks, while some killed themselves. Other survivors were found in various states of delirium or suffered from hallucinations.[28][29] Only 316 of the nearly 900 men set adrift after the sinking survived.[4] Two of the rescued survivors, Robert Lee Shipman and Frederick Harrison, died in August 1945.
Hundreds of sharks were drawn to the wreck by the noise of the explosions and the scent of blood in the water. After picking off the dead and wounded, they began attacking survivors. The number of deaths attributed to sharks ranges from a few dozen to 150.[30]
"Ocean of Fear", a 2007 episode of the Discovery Channel TV documentary series Shark Week, states that the sinking of Indianapolis resulted in the most shark attacks on humans in history, and attributes the attacks to the oceanic whitetip shark species. Tiger sharks may also have killed some sailors. The same show attributed most of the deaths on Indianapolis to exposure, salt poisoning, and thirst/dehydration, with the dead being dragged off by sharks.[3
@@thickerconstrictor9037I've watched documentaries on the USS Indianapolis, and yes you're right, probably most of the deaths were other than shark attacks, or sharks feeding on the dead, but some of what Quint said was true, 800 went in the water 300 came out, my comment mostly centered on how terrible it would be, to be in that water and unable to drink it
The USS Indianapolis monologue is the most amazing acting ever captured on film…
Way back when didn't Spielberg say he wanted to do a movie with a young Quint on the Indianapolis? I still wanna see that movie!
True story .
It's somehow gratifying to me that you can be genuinely thrilled by a movie almost 50 years old. I saw it came out and was also thrilled. It was not only art, it changed beach life for years! Thank you for the great reaction!
I'm genuinely thrilled by Frankenstein 1931.
@johneastwood3039
King Kong 1933 and Laurel and Hardy for me. And Jaws of course. Age has no bearing on greatness.
I think Hollywood died exactly after Matrix 1999- there are still good movies here and there- but nothing beats the 60s to 90s
@@rgerber
The 1980s and 1990s weren't that great overall.
The film was shot at Martha's Vineyard outside the Massachusetts coast (where all the rich people live). They did it in May that year, so the air was still quite cold, even more so in the water. All the extras were local people, including the kids. The short scene with the TV journalist walking on the beach talking about the danger, is Peter Benchley, the author of the book JAWS. He was a news guy before he became a bestselling author. A story that was never told was about Chief Brody and his gun wound in his torso. One of the reasons Roy Scheider got the part was because he did French Connection before Jaws, and Spielberg felt that the audience could relate to "a cop background". Clever. Oh, yes, the story about the USS Indianapolis is very true.
I saw The 7-Ups in the theatre when I was 9. That Car chase blew my 9 year old mind. So when I saw Jaws in 75 He was already my hero. Top 3 Roy Scheider movies for me 1.Jaws/2.All That Jazz/3.Blue Thunder. @@Dave-hb7lx
I always thought that Brody's torso scar was from an appendix operation. LOL That's why he never bothered mentioning it during the macho scar comparison scene. LOL
Exactly what I always thought. Had it been a bullet wound, he would have had a tale to tell that was as tough and "manly" as the other two guys' stories. @@ChrisReise
Thanx for the confirmation. :)@@Wintertalent
The little Kid in the Shark Fin Prank is Chief of Police there now.
One of the greatest jump scares in movie history. Never go night diving on a boat half eaten by a shark.
That was so strange - Dawn Marie did not jump at the jump scares. That woman has ice for nerves.
@@zh2184 first reactor that treated Jaws as a comedy.
Let's wait and see who else will react this way, shall we?
Dawn, you made me tear up with this reaction. My mom (who passed away 5 years ago) used to always sympathize with the shark in this movie, just like you. It was something about her I had forgotten until I saw your reaction. Thank you, for giving me back an awesome memory.
I first watched this movie when I was 3 years old (not sure why exactly I was allowed) but I remember crying at the end because they killed the shark, but I was completely fine with all the human deaths.
The live shark was used in some of the scenes with the shark cage. The shark in this movie was supposed to be 25 ft long, which is extremely rare, so they used a tiny cage and a little person with a 16 ft great white instead. Shot in Australia.
Well it was 13ft to be exact. That was the first shot filmed for Jaws, by Ron and Valerie Taylor. February 26th 1974, at Dangerous Reef, South Australia.
This was two months before Spielberg began shooting Jaws on Martha's Vineyard on May 2nd.
Source, Valerie Taylor, Great Shark Stories, Chapter 4, Filming For Jaws.
✌️
Someone, I think it was Spielberg, named the shark Bruce. Bruce was supposed to much more prominent in the movie. But he was always broken. So they had to film without him. It added an extra level of suspense to the movie. Spielberg even said it made the movie better.
Bruce was also the name of Spielberg's lawyer 🤣
@@anniethenonnymouseYou beat me to it! The shark in "Finding Nemo" is also named after this shark.
@@anniethenonnymouse I had not heard that. That's hilarious!
🤔...Bruce Al'Whitey.
The shark was kept hidden by design during the first half of the film. Wasnt planned to be used for the beach scenes, which were filmed in May and June 1974. It only kept going wrong when they moved out to sea for the Orca based scenes, all through July and August. They finally got it to work in September. Most, if not all, of the planned shots with the shark were eventually got in the September.
Dawn, you are the most perceptive woman (and movie reactor) to ever live! I would bet money that not even the most famous movie critics ever guessed the end of "Jaws" as early as you did! You're amazing!!!
17:28 "At some point, in this movie, they're going to need a bigger boat."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the original novel, the reason the mayor is hesitant to close the beaches is because Amity is indebted to the NY Mafia, there's a side plot with the local TV reporter (played by the novel's author Peter Benchley in 1 scene) uncovering the mob connections. The protagonists are much worse people in the book, too. Brody is an abusive alcoholic, Hooper has an affair with Brody's wife, and Quint is literally Captain Ahab. Spielberg said that he was rooting for the shark while reading the novel.
I vaguely remember reading it. There was a party with mayor, mobsters and certain citizens. Yeah, Hooper having the affair was the big difference for me. He dies in the book.
I read the novel in a Readers Digest collection with very good illustrations, including a depiction of the shark crushing Hooper inside the cage. When the movie came out a few years later, I was actually a little disappointed to see Richard Dreyfus survive.
The part of the bookwhere Hooper has affair w/ Brody’s wife made the rounds through my 8th grade class.
It always seemed to me that Benchley didn’t even like the characters he was writing about in most of his novels…. he wanted to create characters he would not have liked or respected…
The mechanical supervisor for "Jaws" also designed the giant squid for Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea." Now, there is a classic sea monster movie for you with screen legends Kirk Douglas, James Mason, and Peter Lorre.
Yeah but it's so boring. Way too long and slow for modern audiences, it lacks any tension. That's one Disney film that desperately needs a remake.
Mind you, it's not as bad as the original book, the action stuff is fine but the pages-long treatise on aquatic flora and fauna is soul-destroying.
@@adaddinsane It's not a slam-bam action film with Michael Bay-splosions, but it is still a classic drama and still worth watching IMHO. Modern reactors have enjoyed classic films even when they thought they wouldn't, and so has Dawn.
The submarine design in Disney's 20,000 Leagues is very well done so much that to a 19th century seaman, it really would look like a sea monster. The cinematography of the ramming scenes look very realistic.
When Kirk Douglas sings "A Whale of a Tale", that was one of his own personal favorite scenes he ever did.
The best story that gets forgotten is the Jaws them. John Williams played it without any video. Everyone thought it didn't make sense and he told them to trust him. Growing up in the 70's and 80's was the height of John Williams scores.
Interesting. So Stephen edited the movie to fit the music instead of the other way around. I want to say that part of the theme for "E.T." was done the same way: Stephen loved John's theme so much that he extended the flying bicycles scene to showcase it. And I agree: The seventies and eighties were John Williams at his peak.
John Williams is my favorite film composer. I even like the films where he is credited as Johnny Williams. LOL
I don’t remember if it was Spielberg or Williams that told this story, but when Williams first presented the theme to Spielberg, he said what else have you got. Williams answered, “I think this is all you need.”
5:38 "Have you dealt with this before in your last job?"
In this movie, Chief Brody is new here, and his last job was in NYC where he never had to worry about shark attacks.
Also, the scene when they are examining Ben Gardner’s beat up fishing boat, and Hooper pulls a shark tooth the size of a shot glass out of the hole in the hull -- just as Ben Gardner’s mutilated head suddenly appears -- is one of the greatest jump-scares of all time!
The 1977 movie, "The Deep" was another movie based the novel written by Peter Benchley (Jaws), starring Robert Shaw, Jacqueline Bisset, and Nick Nolte. It isn't exactly a "sea monster" movie, but it is set in the ocean and is suspenseful. The big draw to the movie back then was that Jacqueline Bisset had a famous wet wardrobe scene in it. During the first summer after "Jaws" premiered, exactly three people worldwide went into the ocean. The rest were waiting for a bigger boat.
In 1977, Robert Shaw was also in "Black Sunday." No sea monster but there is a terrorist. I suppose that's close enough.
"Into the Blue" from 2005 was a very decent remake of "The Deep". Paul Walker and Scott Caan freediving and Jessica Alba in a bikini sold that one.
"Surely the individual people will have enough sense not to go in the water"
No, they won't. And don't call me Shirley . . .
If you think about Quints Indianapolis story, and he reaches the part about his friend, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. He accurately describes his own up and coming death. Plus the boat name, Orca. Orcas kill and eat sharks....this movie is symbolism galore, and in a way has served to keep interest in studying and preserving sharks
Weird to hear Dawn say she doesn't like Orcas because they are mean, and then she talks about not eating people and flipping over boats (which Orcas have sometimes done).
A neat story was that about twenty years after Jaws cam out Elisabeth Fierro was having lunch at a restaurant on the vineyard when she noticed one of the menu items was a “Alex Kintner sandwich” and mentioned to waitress that she had played his mother in Jaws.
The waitress disappears in the back and a few minutes later the owner of the restaurant comes out and it is none other than Jeffery Voorhees who played Alex Kinter.
They hadn’t seen each other since filming the movie
Fierro was an actress in the local Martha's Vineyard theater. She didn't know how to do a controlled stage slap, so she really smacked Scheider upside the head. They did around 17 takes, with her really slapping him each time, one of which broke his glasses.
This movie is considered the 1st Summer Blockbuster. This started the trend of big movies being promoted and put into the movie theaters after Memorial Day (end of May) in the U.S. If you want to understand the USS Indianapolis, google the ship to read the story.
Not only that but the term "Blockbuster" was actually invented for Jaws.
@@stevemccullagh36That’s not true. “Blockbuster” had been around since WW2, where it referred to certain large bombs. It was subsequently used to refer to some movies (often war movies) decades before it was used for _Jaws._ Its usage did tick up with _Jaws,_ but it was steadily increasing throughout the 50s, 60s and early 70s, and usage of “blockbuster” didn’t really take off until more than a decade after _Jaws_ with the rise of the Blockbuster Video chain.
It was “Summer Blockbuster” that was coined for Jaws.
@@gsparkman That’s pretty much true since _Jaws_ was the biggest influence on starting the trend where movie studios would aim to release one or more big, moneymaking movies in the summer instead of targeting all of their important movies for later in the year so that they would still be fresh in the minds of Academy Awards voters when Oscar season rolled around. That summer movie trend was solidified a couple years later with _Star Wars._
Studios didn't think people would go to movies during the summer when kids were on vacation. Jaws was released during summer so as to take advantage of the lack of competition and it became a phenomenon and other studios then started targeting summer in following years too. Also, most people didn't have air conditioning in their homes back then, so when movie theaters started offering it, people enjoyed going as a break from the heat.
Robert Shaw was also in a movie called The Sting with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. It's a very good movie that you would love
Shaw broke his foot, and almost turned down The Sting for that reason. The director George Roy Hill was a fan, and talked him into taking the role anyway. That's the real reason the antagonist Doyle Lonnagan walks with a pronounced limp, but it just comes off as a bit of fine character detail.
Love The Sting!
Taking of Pelham 123 - the old one
The little boy who got eaten and the Mom didn't see each other after the movie for decades until the lady who played the Mom went into a seafood restaurant and saw some Jaws themed menu items and mentioned that she played the Mom. The waitress went into the kitchen and out comes the owner, who had played the little boy!
22:15 "Hey, something in the sky". Yep. That's a Steven Spielberg trademark. He used to put a falling/shooting star in all of his movies a long time ago.
Quint's dying was one of the big movie shocks of my early life.
A play based on the beyond the scenes of the making of Jaws is out now. It's called "The Shark is Broken." Which is what the locals kept hearing over the loudspeakers during the filming.
That's interesting. There's also a 'Jaws filming' joke in One Crazy Summer.
Composer John Williams wrote this musical score and over a hundred more for other films. Most of them were beautiful, complex symphonic pieces. Interviewed on The Tonight Show, he told Johnny Carson that after his death, he'd be remembered for two notes.
One of the greatest, if not THE greatest blockbusters of all time. Jaws is a filmmaking masterpiece.
20:57 - The barrels serve 2 purposes. They help them track and find the Shark. And the barrels slow the Shark down, keep him close to the surface and wears him out. Of course this Shark was so powerful, even 3 barrels couldnt keep him down
I can't believe that you skipped over one of the most iconic scenes in this movie; indeed, one of the best in movie history - the great Robert Shaw recounting the true story of the USS Indianapolis.
Malpractice.
I saw this film 28 years ago as an 8 year old and 16 years later I was a marine biologist studying great white sharks. I adore this film like you wouldn't believe.
The film is set in New England. Sharks don't necessarily consume an entire body. Whatever it doesn't catch will wash ashore, as with any organic matter. When tides roll in, lots of debris can wash ashore.
I remember waiting over an hour in line to see this when
I was 8 in 1975. I kept seeing the severed leg scene that night. Thanks Dawn.
I saw it 1975 when I was 7: What was my mother thinking taking me to this? The bit that gave me nightmares was the investigation of Ben Gardner's boat/
I was taken to see it when I was 5.
😋
Robert Shaw played Quint. Another great film with Robert Shaw is The Sting. It starred Robert Redford and Paul Newman.
We can always count on Dawn to spot any "easter egg testicles" subtly hidden in films.
Quint, the shark hunter, was Robert Shaw ("From Russia With Love", "Battle Of The Bulge"), Chief Brody was Roy Scheider ("The 7 Ups", "2010"), and Hooper, the shark scientist, was Richard Dreyfus ("American Graffiti", "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind""), The Mayor was Murray Hamilton ("The Spirit Of S. Louis"), and the TV reporter on the beach was Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book "JAWS".
The mechanical shark was notorious to work with and Spielberg had to change several scenes to film around it. This without a doubt made the movie better. Giving the POV of the shark built so much tension and when he FINALLY reveals himself to Brody during the "You're gonna need a bigger boat" scene is one of the best payoffs in cinema history.
It was never scheduled to be used for the first half of the film though and I believe most, if not all, of the planned shark shots were eventually got. They even added two unplanned pickup shots at the end of location shooting (where the shark grabs the Kintner Boy and the red rowboat guy).
Fun fact a shark can smell a single drop of blood from over a mile away. Also the story about the navy ship sinking is a true story that really happened.
It's not a fun fact when it's a myth
@@Dr.Acula76 when I was in school that was still taught as fact.(a huge portion of a sharks brain is dedicated to smell) A long with the fact that sharks can actually sense magnetic fields
@@markcarpenter6020 They can sense magnetic fields, that's true. Buy they can only detect blood at a concentration of one part per million. So one drop of blood in an Olympic pool. Maybe more research has been done since you were taught that "fact"
@@Dr.Acula76 that's possible. I'm getting old. An I was taught that decades ago. Though I think your slightly underestimating how much one part per million is unless you're figuring a "drop" as something very tiny.
@@markcarpenter6020 Nope. Just going by research which is very easy to find
"Well, you don't have to pay that guy anymore" - LOL, love the humor.
To this day, this movie had one of the biggest impact on people, some 2 million plus folks refused to go back swimming in the ocean
It Came From Beneath The Sea is a great sea monster movie from the 1950s. The special effects were done by the great Ray Harryhausen.
@johnfrilando2662 True. Can't go wrong with a Ray Harryhausen movie when it comes to monster movies. He was one of THE pioneers of special effects, so creative and innovative.
"Creature from the Black Lagoon" from the great Jack Arnold would be another oldschool monster movie that comes to mind.
This movie is in my top 3 of all time. I'm glad that you loved this movie and enjoyed your reaction.
Wait. You knew the shanty "Show me the way to go home" before watching this movie? That's amazing! 😭
“It didn’t work out too well for him…he got to eat a lot before he died.” Ever the optimist. Love it.
great reaction Dawn, I was 12 when this movie came out I saw it 13 times that summer. I saw a interview with the lady that played Mrs. kitner and she said that people would come up to her and ask her to slap them and she would refuse them at first but it got to be so bad she finally gave in and started slapping these people. it got to a point where she would show up at shopping malls and she would charge them money if they wanted to be slapped and believe me the lines were long true story. have a safe week.
Leviathan 1989 is a terrific sea monster movie. All practical effects. And a great cast.
Does "Sphere" (1998) count? "Deep Rising" (1998) too, maybe.
They actually did build a pneumatic Shark and named it 'Bruce' after Steven Spielbergs lawyer.
One of the reasons this movie is so good is the fake shark kept breaking down so Spielberg had to do more with music and atmosphere, and used the fake shark for the bare minimum.
The footage of the shark on top of the cage was a real great white shark stuck on top of a real shark cage.
The reason the shark took bites first is that they usually take a 'Taste Bite' first because taste is one of the only senses they have to check what a material is. In most cases they don't follow up and eat humans - it's a case of them mistaking us for seals. On the other hand if a Shark the size of a Great White takes a lump out of you then you are very likely to bleed to death in short order.
Sharks don't eat things whole in general. A great white is an ambush predator, that hits a victim from below to disable them, and then continues to hit them until they are no longer a threat to them, before eating.
Déjà vu… I could swear Dawn has reacted to this already. Am I having a “senior moment“?
Edit: 7:20 Finally, someone who doesn’t lose their shit when they hear nails on a blackboard. I was beginning to think I was the only one. 🤣
15:53 And this is why I’m subbed to this channel. I never noticed this before, but now I cannot un-see it.
Must be Mandela Effect. I thought so, too.
@@kirkdarling4120I’ll be googling the Mandela Effect after this fine upload. Cheers.
@@Mike-rw2nh Careful with that.
It's a hoax.
Well, there is a situation where we remember things badly, and when a lot of people remember things badly in the same way, that's called the Mandela Effect.
Psychologists just attribute it to how memory works.
Conspiracy theorists have all kinds of crazy ideas about alternate timelines, government using microchips to change our memories, and other crazy stuff.
Every bit of that nonsense is nonsense.
The fact that we remember things badly is the only true part of it.
Sharks don't just go chomp. They can get quite excited, And they're messy eaters, so bits of you could go everywhere.
It's a hull not a hole they were talking about🤣
The story about the Indianapolis is something that actually happened. Quint (the shark hunter) was played by Robert Shaw, a British actor. He did a pretty convincing job I thought.
At one time they used to use shark here in fish and chips because we have a lot of sharks - you could tell if you'd got shark because it tasted like shit.
The sequels sadly are crap.
During the initial autopsy done by Hooper (which Dawn included in this edit), he does mention that it was a non-frenzied feeding. I hadn't noticed that line before.
"You don't have to pay the guy anymore."........LOL
one of the kids with the fake fin is now a sheriff on that island
The transition from your discussion about the difference between mama shark & daddy shark to singing baby shark had me cackling. Haha xD
My 2nd have film of all-time (IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is my 1st) - this is a masterpiece and beyond iconic. From its problem plagued production and shoot (the mechanical shark literally sank to the bottom of the ocean on the first day because it had not been tested in salt water! And it frequently malfunctioned so Spielberg had to come up with inventive shots suggesting the shark which in the long run made the film even more terrifying - you never really knew where it'd pop up even despite the John Williams score (which is epic - true story when John presented the famous duh-duh-duh of the opening titles Steven said "Is that it?!" he wasn't impressed - LOL!) The script was daily re-written over and over (the novelist Peter Benchley - whose book was adapted for this film - cameos as the journalist on Amity Beach on the 4th of July - and no Amity is fictitious - shot on location in Martha's Vineyard). Robert Shaw's Indianapolis speech is arguably one of cinema's best monologues and yes all a true story that happened in WWII (!) The day of the shoot Shaw (who had a rep to be a heavy drinker) showed up intoxicated and couldn't complete the scene as written; Spielberg shut down for the day and in the middle of the night later on Shaw phoned him up to apologize and said he'd be onset in the morning sober. He did and they shot it in one take - what you see in the film (!!)
Spielberg felt after a test screening the film was not scary enough and he needed one true jolt to scare the shit out of the audience so one weekend they shot the sequence of Ben Gardner's wrecked boat in his own pool (!!!) and used evaporated milk to give the water a cloudy look to look like the ocean. In the next sneak preview he delivered the horrific goods with audiences SCREAMING at it (you can look it up on You Tube!)
Spielberg has 2 cameos in the film -he's the cameraman filming Benchley as they cross the beach while Brody is chatting w/Meddows the newspaper editor and he's the voice of Amity Patrol calling Quint on the Orca while they're asea.
The 'there's something in the sky' moments are shooting stars (which were actually added in post production; all these years I thought they were 'happy accidents' and only found this out last year!)
The live shark moments were filmed on location in Nassau and used a small person (male) as Hooper to show 'scale' - they lowered him in the cage and indeed a GWS showed and became entangled in the harness (which is in the film as well as the close-up of the shark immediately after Hooper drops the dart - it swims into camera as if to say 'hey, how's it goin'). Otherwise all practical f/x (CGI didn't exist then as it does know) and you can't 'train' any shark (as someone first thought to do!!)
Yes this film is pretty much the first of its time (there's been literally dozens of rip-offs and pale imitations of it for decades but this is the gold standard; its subsequent sequels got worse with each chapter - the 2nd is fair and re-unites Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary and even Murray Hamilton (um no he looks nothing like John Wayne!! LOL!)
The shark was nicknamed Bruce after Spielberg's high-powered attorney.
This film did what PSYCHO did for showers for going into the water of any kind (and yes audiences flocked to the cinemas and avoided the beaches!)
Orcas are not evil ; they're pretty docile. Don't know where you got that from Dawn Marie - but I love you anyway!
The shark's name is Bruce, and you can learn all about him in the documentary "The Shark is Still Working"
Quint survived the Indianapolis, but then spent the rest of his life shark hunting. He locked himself into his destiny, and knew it, even sought it.
And in no way does it parallel Moby Dick, that'd be too easy and obvious. /s
If you like realistic shark movies, watch the Sharknado series. They’re very well respected in the scientific community for their realism.
😂
THE definitive scientifically factual shark movie!!! The reason I don't go outside in the rain without an umbrella and a chainsaw.
So well-grounded in reality. That's missing from so many films these days.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Exactly!
It's the participation and the worldly expertise of Prof. Tara Reid that provides the real imprimatur of authenticity.
Dawn Marie, you truly know how to make a male (shark or human) feel good about himself 26:52 Dawn inhales deeply in a long gasp and says, "it gets bigger every time I see it". Shark blushes scene continues.
They never explain onscreen, but the idea of the barrels is to put a drag on the shark that will exhaust it and force it to stop swimming. Since sharks have to swim forward constantly in order to "breathe" that will kill it. (That's also what Quint meant when he talked about luring it into the shallows to "drown" it-- he means to trap it without room to keep swimming.)
One of the craziest things about this movie is that it is only rated PG because the PG13 rating didn't exist back then. Today I think this movie would have been rated R.
Me watching this 20 years ago: "It's unrealistic that they would be arguing to keep the beaches open just for businesses when people are actually dying."
Me watching this after the pandemic: "Oh..."
You’re the first person I’ve seen who reacted to this movie and noticed the shooting star. It was real and it was just sheer luck that they filmed it.
It was obviously E.T.
That is a myth it is not real. Joe Alves who worked on numerous jobs films stated in his book that they added it. But not only that, the scene where you see it, was filmed during the daytime but with a filter on the camera that makes it look like night time. They do the same thing in the opening scene where the girl gets attacked as well as the holiday roast seen. They were all filmed during the day but made to look like night Time by using filters on the camera. You can look at photos from the set especially of Chrissie and the roast where everything being filmed is daytime. They just make it look like night because it's too dark to film at night. So all the scenes with the shooting stars were also filmed during the day. It is a common myth that has been debunked.
@@thickerconstrictor9037You might be right. Just never looked into it. I’ll admit defeat. More knowledgeable people then Joe, a Production Designer, have chimed up on this. Oddly, Spielberg insists it’s real.
I always thought the first one was real but the second one was added .
@@leopoldstotch3524Nope, both added in post. The giveaway is that the “night” scenes are actually filmed in daylight and processed to look dark. No night sky = no stars, shooting or otherwise.
I saw a great bumper sticker once that said, “Just think, in Jaws II the Mayor is still the same person. Don’t forget to vote!”
One of my all time favourite movies. Seen it dozens of times. Never once noticed you could see up the blokes shorts. Obviously focusing on different bits :D
Jaws is a great movie and there are moments that make us afraid, anxious and nervous because of the shark scenes. A relative of mine has the VHS version and still has it intact. I have the physical UHD version and the digital version on Apple TV. iTunes 😊
Afterwards with Jaws 2, 3 & 4 were some of the worst in the saga
I hope you make reaction videos to the other Jaws movies 🙏🏻❤️
Watch The Abyss! Great underwater movie.
Skips over the greatest monologue in film history to sing along with a goddamn pub song.
Classic Scot.
I love it.❤
I'm sure someone else's made this comment by now, but the story that Quint tells about the sailors been eaten by sharks one-by-one, that's a true story. It happened in 1945 during World War II, it was the USS Indianapolis.
Hi Dawn, great reaction!! Your reaction at 22:33 is priceless!! I wouldn't necessarily call this a creature feature, but one movie that you will really love is 'The Abyss (Extended Version) - 1989'.
Great film great choice the Abyss.👍
Thank you!!@@michaelmcbreen4025
no need for that James Cameron hippie crap
Quint's story about USS Indianapolis is true, according to what "Quint" would know. The only radio room on Indianapolis that was working after the torpedo was number 2. CWO Leonard Woods was in charge. He sent the room crew to abandon ship, and continued to send SOS until he went down with the ship. No one ever acknowledged receiving those calls.
I was born and raised in an old sea port town not far from where this was filmed ( Martha’s Vineyard). I saw this in a movie theater when it came out in 1975 and I was 11 years old at the time. It was amazing sitting on the beach that summer and NO ONE was going out past their knees in the water 😂😂😂
😂
Dawn Marie, I have seen people react to this movie many times. You are the first to say that Quint did not need to be paid. Bravo!
I saw this movie twice in the theater. The first time was when it was originally released. I was 11 at the time. The second was when it was rereleased in 2015 on it's 40th anniversary. This is one of my favorite movies! You know, you were talking about sea monsters, and the shark in this movie being one of them. You also commented on how the special effects guy deserves kudos. Well, the shark wasn't his first sea monster, and I'll get to that. Now, Martha's Vinyard, the island where they filmed Jaws, even back in the mid 70s, had very strict anti pollution laws. That kept the effects crew from using hydraulics to articulate the shark, because all hydraulic fluid at that time were all petroleum based. So they used compressed air systems instead. Air powered systems are a major pain in the butt, and the reason you don't see the shark, that the crew named Bruce after the director's lawyer, is because it just wouldn't work! Enter the legendary Bob Mattey. He was an expert effects guy, and a master with air systems. The director of the film, Stephen Spielberg, talked him out of retirement to work on getting the shark to work. And well, you've seen what a great job he did! But his first sea monster happened over 20 years before Jaws was made. Disney did a live action movie of Jules Vern's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea back in 1954. During the production, one of the climatic scenes was a fight with a giant squid. When the effects team built it, the did the best that they could, but it was really horrible. At the time, Mattey was working for Walt Disney on building Disneyland, and when Walt found out about all the problems with the squid, he had Mattey redesign and help rebuild it so it became the scene that made the movie! And needless to say, 20,000 Leagues is also one of my favorite movies! Great vid, by the way, and awesome work figuring out how they were going to kill the shark!
"Jaws" is a prime example of how to film a "monster" movie.
Story, characters, realism, effects, music, gore, pace, setting....all falling nicely into place.
And yes....a hundred "monster" movies followed this attempting to capture the same magic as Mr Spielberg.
Nope!
Well Dawn, that was the most intuitive reaction I’ve ever seen for JAWS. You’re the first to say there gonna need a bigger boat way before it was said and picking up on the air tank as the way to kill him was remarkable. You’re the first one I’ve seen who didn’t shit themselves when Hooper was underwater when he got the tooth. The shark actually did have a name, it was Bruce, named after Spielberg’s lawyer. He had so much trouble with the mechanical shark, hence the reason why we don’t see too much of him, which ended up working out even better because it made the movie scarier. You’re the best and most unique reactor, EVER Dawn. Cheers from Down Under 👏👍💯🇦🇺
This legendary classic movie is the first movie to be called a Summer Blockbuster. It launched a massive amount of shark and animal attack movies following it wanting to capitalize on "Jaws" success.
The girl at the beginning was a nibble test from the shark to see if 'this thing' can be eaten.
Dawn, I saw Jaws when it was released in the theater with my younger brother. I was in the 2nd grade and he was in the 1st grade. Later that night when we went to sleep, I woke up and heard my brother screaming “Jaws is going to get me, Jaws is going to me!”
The light was turned on by my mom coming into our room and, I saw saw my brother standing on his bed, facing the wall and, repeating “Jaws is going to get me!” I went back to sleep after my mom calmed him down. 😂😂😂
That wasn’t the only scary I saw in the theater that year. I watched a rerelease of “The House That Dripped Blood “ (1971).
25:33 Yes, the shark has a name. His name is Bruce. Trust me, look it up. :)
"So there's that!" - LOL. JAWS CREATED the term Summer Block Buster film and was the first real block buster. This created the idea of timing and launching films just as summer comes on because everybody would be out of school and thus attendance would be huge. It was a monstrously huge and successful movie. There was nothing like before and yes the special effects were a huge reason it was so good. Decades of film goers were afraid of the water due to this movie.
I'm always impressed by the barrel that almost hits -Hooper's- Brody's face and knocks his glasses. You can't fake it and that Barrel looks heavy
Woman runs into the the sea naked. Dawn "I would never..... Well not in the dark anyway" I almost fell off my chair laughing.... 😂😂
Carl Gottlieb, who was the final script writer and played the reporter in the movie, wrote a book about the making of the movie which is tremendous! He had a lot of great stories! They had a lot of problems with the mechanical shark which caused numerous delays and resulted in the shark being shown less which probably caused there to be more tension and the movie being scarier. The book is called The Jaws Log.
Fun fact: ... The shark models and animatronics used in the film were all named "Bruce" after director Steven Spielberg's lawyer, Bruce Raymer. In "Finding Nemo", they named the Shark in the "Fish are friends, not food" meeting Bruce in honor of the Jaws movie franchise.
From IMDB - "Several decades after the film's release, Lee Fierro, who played Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich." She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago; the owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her, and he was none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot."
Also, the 2 little boys with the fake shark fin, one of them is now the Mayor of the town that played Amity.
The magic of Jaws was created by the editor, Verna Fields. She won the Oscar for editing the movie. She also trained another editor Marcia Lucas. Marcia, George Lucas’ wife, won the Oscar for editing the original Star Wars.
I was born in 1974 and this was THE original shark movie that traumatised the world. It took me decades to discover that sharks are harmless, dolphins kill more people each year than sharks do and falling coconuts kill more more people than dolphins. In other words it is safer to swim in shark infested waters than it is to walk underneath coconut trees!
There are maybe a dozen “perfect” movies in the history of cinema……this is definitely one of them. This is the original summer blockbuster.
Well it isn't perfect because they are off a month on the Indianapolis sinking.
this IS one of the BEST MOVIES ever, thanks for watching it and reliving the excitement of a first watch
Is this just the best casting ever. 😊 I love Quints dig at Hooper and Hoopers come back behind his back. 😂
Single-handedly has kept me out of the ocean for basically my whole life. Thanks, Jaws.
This was Speilberg’s first box office success and it was the first of what we now call “blockbusters.” But Spielberg was way behind schedule because not only did he shoot the film on the actual ocean (which no one had done before) but the shark stopped working time after time. It was almost the end of his career before it began and now Jaws is a classic that many have tried to emulate.
I watched another reaction of a husband and wife and at one point the wife said “Why doesn’t Quint kill the shark for free since that’s his ‘thing?’”
The husband replied “because he needs money” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
On the fourth of July in the film there is a reporter on the beach. The person playing the reporter is, Peter Benchley. He wrote the book, Jaws, which the film is based on. He also helped write the screenplay for the film. The monologue about the ship, Indianapolis is completely true. I know you didn't show that part but anyway it is true. It really happened.
Loved your reaction to the film. I new you would have fun for the most part while watching it.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
