    Remarkably, Quint’s speech about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is a historical fact. It really happened! His vivid description of the tragedy that resulted is one of the most epic monologues in cinematic history, and is the key to his character and his obsession with killing sharks. He smashed the radio not only because he wanted to secure the bounty and reward for killing the Great White, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge - or perhaps personal redemption - for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by killing the man-eating shark himself.

    25:00 Awesome!
    You kept Quint's amazing monologue about the Indianapolis nearly intact.
    So many reactors cut that out.
    Robert Shaw delivered what might be the best monologue in film history right there.
    Truly an amazing bit of work from a great actor.
    And his story is mostly true - that event did happen.
    The date is a bit off and the big mistake is that the 800 or so men who died were nearly all killed by dehydration or because they were injured in the Japanese attack and died from their wounds.
    Best estimate is that about 25-50 of them died from sharks, though a few estimates go as high as 100.
    Still, a true story about a terrible event where some sharks ate a bunch of US Navy personnel that were in the water for several days.

    Hi Amanda, I can answer a few of your questions. It was all practical effects, there wasn't any CGI in 1975 when Jaws was made. The reporter on the beach on the 4th of July was Peter Benchley, the author who wrote the book Jaws. The saltwater caused lots of problems for the mechanical shark, so showing the shark-eye view helped the believability. The shark was said to be 25 feet long and 6 tons. That converts to about 7.5 meters and over 2700 kilograms. The story about the U.S.S. Indianapolis is a true story and Quint's monologue about it didn't exaggerate much. The movie was loosely based on a string of shark attacks that happened off the New Jersey coast in July 1916. Back then, 5 shark attacks took place in the same area in a 2-week time span. Jaws is my 18th favorite movie and the mechanical shark was named "Bruce". I hope you have a great week and I wish you and yours all the best. Take care ~ Despair.

    The reason why Quint destroyed the radio may have been two-fold. First, Quint was to be paid $10,000 in 1975, which has the purchasing power of nearly $56,000, today. Secondly, the notoriety of hunting down and killing a giant great white shark would revive his shark souvenir business and solidify his name as a shark hunter.

      Spielberg drew much upon the character of captain Ahab from Moby Dick for Quint. Ahab was singlemindedly obsessed with getting revenge on the white whale that crippled him and Quint too seemed to be obsessed with killing sharks. all the jaws from his kills on display in his shack seemed to verify this. He wanted to get this great white himself. No help from the authorities was welcome so he smashed the radio.

    A couple of the pictures in the book Chief Brodie looks through are of Rodney Fox who actually survived a real Great White attack at a beach here in South Australia just a few kilometers up the road from where I live. Footage of the real sharks in Jaws were shot by him on the west coast of South Australia, about 200km from where I grew up. We'd go to Port Lincoln in the summer holidays and there'd be warning posters with Rod's picture after the shark attack up around town.

    Amanda, love your hair. You have to understand that in some small communities like that, summer time is when they make all of their money for the next year. So when the mayor said it's a summer town, that means that's when they get the most tourist that spend money in their town and that's how most of the townsfolk generate income. If there are no tourists, the entire community suffers for the next year.
    Btw, that little boy who was first killed, he started a restaurant/diner (i've forgotten where), and the woman who played his mother just happened to be in that town and eating at that restaurant. But she didn't know her on screen son owned it. She just saw pictures from the movie on the wall and she mentioned to the waitress that that woman in the pic was her. The waitress told the owner and he came out, and it was her on screen son. It was a very cool story.

    Hooper and the Chief's wife are the most striking changes. (they are not very good people)

    I don't know what they were thinking when the shark just moed 2/3 of its body length out of the water, but otherwise the animatronics kooked great. They had a lot of trouble with it so scaled it back, which increases the suspense.
    Mythbusters did the air tank in the shark's mouth getting shot.
    The tank doesn't explode, but the escaping air out of the hole acts like a rocket. They said the shark might have been able to expel it, but that's a long shot.
    Most likely it'd have a tank stuck down its gullet with a lot of internal injuries. Blasting past its gills and down its neck area.
    The did a test where an air tank with the regulator top knocked off, blasted through 1 and half of another cinder-block walls.
    It'd be a dead shark, if not blown to chunks.

    The reason Quint was so calm when he told Brody to put out the fire was that he deliberately started the fire to distract Brody from using the radio. He smashed the radio later in order to protect his $10,000 ($54,000 in today's money) bounty on the shark. This was spelled out by Quint in dialogue that was cut: 'You hired me, didn't you? It's my $10,000. It's my shark.' No reactor today ever gets exactly why Quint smashes the radio, although I don't remember being at all confused about it prior to reading the script - so inflation may be the reason it's less obvious.

    You're right about Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton). He's the driving force that sends this story in the direction it goes.
    Hamilton's character is still the Mayor in "Jaws II." Politics.
    Hamilton was effective as a bad guy or politically-driven figure. He plays Mr. Robinson in "The Graduate." In the original Twilight Zone, S1E2, he plays Death (literally). In an episode of another anthology TV series (which I can't remember the name of), he plays one of a gang of crooks who steal an oil truck and drive across the desert with it, and eventually kill each other over the last canteen of water (the irony being that the oil truck is now a full water tanker and the lettering on the sides just hadn't been repainted yet).

      The reason Vaughn was so adamant about not losing tourist dollars as he was heavily in debt to the Mob. That storyline (along with others) from Peter Benchley's novel we're not in the movie. One of the major reasons PB was asked to leave the set due to his voicing his displeasure with those changes.

    I read the book in 5th grade and it's stuck with me ever since. I still highly recommend it to fans of the movie. Spielberg's adaptation trims the subplots and character drama down to a tense man vs beast tale and the scene of Hooper and Quint comparing scars is A+
    Quint smashes the radio because he doesn't want to be rescued. He'll kill the shark or die at sea, and like an honorable captain he goes down with The Orca.

    27:40 "Is Quint Irish?"
    No, he's a New York/Massachusetts longshoreman.
    But the actor, Robert Shaw, was born in England with a Scottish father, and move to Scotland for several years as a child, then to Cornwall, so his accent is from all over the UK - everywhere BUT Ireland.
    He is trying to pull off that regional longshoreman accent and not doing a terrible job of it.
    If he did it right, you and I couldn't understand him without subtitles, so it's a simplified, easy to understand longshoreman accent, Hollywood style, colored by a bit of his UK accent underneath.

      I'm from the Massachusetts shore and the movie was filmed on the island of Martha's Vineyard off of Cape Cod and the only people with correct accents are the local actors and, for some reason, Brody's oldest kid since the parents don't have one. Quint's accent is like none I ever heard more 18th century pirate than New England- maybe Canadian maritime.

After the Japanese soldiers were defeated, they escaped into the mangrove forest. 1000 soldiers went in. Only 20 came out alive. 980 soldiers were eaten by crocodiles. It went into the Guiness Book of World Records for the most numbers of humans eaten by crocodiles in one sitting

    One needs to have a little empathy for the mayor. He was in a tough position. In the ferry scene, he pointed out that the town was dependant on 'summer dollars.' Unfortunately money is needed to run anyplace, and the beaches were this place's major source of income.
    Like most major decisions, it often takes a tragedy of sorts to force actions to be taken.

      Exactly. And he was just the front man. The rest of the town council were complicit including the medical examiner and the newspaper editor. He is nervous during the town meeting when he has to tell all the local businesses people that the beaches will be closed. He's not acting on his own for his own benefit.

    Hi Amanda, the mayor is just thinking about his constituents. They are on a small island in the northeast where it gets very cold in winter. The only income they have is the summer in order to be able to heat their homes, pay their mortgage or rent. Pay their mortgage for their business. Feed their family. How many might die next winter? If they can't pay their bills. Shark attacks happen in real life and the beaches don't close.

    There is a good example of foreshadowing in this movie that everyone seems to miss: when Chief Brody is looking through books about sharks, researching the subject, while thumbing through the books, he comes across a photo of a giant shark with a compressed air tank from a diver in its mouth. Of course, this comes full circle at the end of the movie when Brody destroys the shark by shooting the compressed air tank in its jaws. I am always surprised that no one ever points that out; it seems like such an obvious oversight to me…

    The shark didn't attack the kid because he wasn't moving. The thing about people swimming and splashing around in the ocean is that this type of activity is very similar to what a shark would see from a prey animal in some type of distress. That is why sharks usually attack humans.

  • @ronfehr7899
    @ronfehr7899 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The demise of the shark could never really happen as depicted in the movies. The television show Mythbusters tested an air tank, and the worst that could happen would be pushing the shark backwards from the force of air escaping the tank where it was ruptured.
    The tanks are made fairly thick (I think about 2 inches), so as to prevent such an explosion.

    When Jaws came out in theaters, I was vacationing in Nantucket, a small island just a few miles away from Martha’s Vineyard where the Jaws was filmed. I was 11 years old and my parents were wise enough not to left me go the film. It was a big deal but all of the islanders thought it was ridiculous. On a sad note, for several summers, fishermen kept throwing baby sharks on the beach to let them die. It caused a big outrage by environmentalists.
