I would just add that it is often mentioned that the high casualties are the result of the "secret operation", but that's BS. The nuke was delivered to Tinian, yes, that was secret, but from then Indianapolis moved to Guam and there it received orders to move to Philippines. On this path it was sunk and this move was no more secret than any other deployment of any other ship. The cause of so many deaths was simply a negligence on various levels of the US navy commands.

I grew up in this area on Cape Cod, and my parents took me to see this as a kid, and it forever wrecked the ocean for me. I slowly started to overcome my fear as my in-laws have a cabin on the ocean in Maine, where we spent a good portion of our summer. I was able to enjoy swimming on the beach swimming from the dock in front of the cabin kayaking, paddle, boarding, surfing, I even got swept out in a rip current during some Big Sur without my board for about 15-20 minutes and was able to not freak out too bad only to have a woman get attack by a great white in 2020 in eyeshot of our cabin. It was terrible. She was swimming with her granddaughter. I don’t swim off the dock anymore, even though my wife does. Great reaction If you haven’t checked out the “Fargo” movie and even more impressive, the Fargo anthology series with the series called “Legion” made by the same creator, the great Noah Hawley. You’ll learn quite a bit about filmmaking writing editing from Noah’s hawley work, he’s a master! Cheers

There’s a reason they didn’t show the shark earlier in the movie. The shark kept breaking down, they playfully nicknamed the shark Bruce. Apparently the salt water kept short circuiting the mechanical parts which actually was a blessing in disguise because it made the audience use their imagination to build the up the suspense. Not to mention the academy award winning music also helped. They had the same problem with Jaws 2 but not as bad. You actually see more of the shark in that one. Not quite as good as this one but still a very worthy sequel. It has some great attack sequences.

A bit of Jaws trivia: Spielberg originally intended to use footage of live sharks for much of the film and sent out an underwater camera crew to get some test footage. One of their first attempts at capturing footage was using a shark cage. During filming, the cage was attacked by a huge Great White, and the cameraman inside barely escaped with his life. It was quickly decided that filming live sharks was simply too dangerous. However, footage from the incident was used during the attack on Hooper in the cage and was blended with scenes using Bruce (the mechanical shark). Great reaction, and it's nice to see that the greatest jump-scare in movie history never fails even after all these years! 😊

1. Jaws was the first summer blockbuster. 2. Boy Scouts don't need to do the mile swim to get their merit badge. It's an accomplishment all its own. 3. Lee Fierro/Mrs. Kentner actually slapped Roy Scheider. It took 17 takes. Once was so hard it knocked his glasses off. 4. The jump scare at Ben Gardner's boat was put in on purpose by Spielberg because they were having problems with the shark "Bruce" and his appearance was delayed, and the movie needed something earlier. Works every time. 5. IRL Dreyfuss and Shaw didn't get along, so Spielberg used the animosity to fuel their feud onscreen. 6. The boy that said, "He made me do it' is now the Police Chief of the town where this movie was filmed. 7. Hooper was wrong. The fish that hit the line was a "our fish". 8. "You're gonna' need a bigger boat" is one of the greatest adlibs in history. It was the first time Roy actually saw Bruce. It was an ongoing trope within the filming due to budgetary problems. 9. Goof: An animal that large couldn't hit the side of the boat as rapidly as it did UNDER WATER. (movie magic) 10. I suspect Quint's story about the Indianapolis gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the story. It became personal. 11. I was in the Navy, and we were instructed to go for the eyes when confronting any attacking animal. 12. Aside from the pool used in the Ben Gardner boat scenes, all of the shipboard scenes were filmed entirely at sea, 13. In the book not only does Hooper die but he was also having an affair with Mrs. Brody. 14. JAWS II is the only other one worth watching. It revolves around the Brody kids and their friends. Including the mayor's son. 15 Scheider didn't want to do the second movie but was under contract, so he had to. He read the script for the third one was so bad he took the financial hit. It was so bad he said NO.

Yes, in the movie they specifically included the detail of the Brody family moving to Amity Island from New York because of Roy Scheider's very noticeable New Jersey accent, which most people (probably including Steven Spielberg, a Phoenix, Arizona boy) can't tell from a New York accent. In the novel Chief Brody was an Amity Island native, while his wife hailed from a rich family in Hyannisport, famous for being a very affluent area where the Kennedys keep their family compound -- Martin and Ellen first met when she was a university student holidaying on the island and he ticketed her for speeding, they fell in love, and her family ultimately disowned her for marrying a lowly small-town cop. When the shark attacks brought Matt Hooper to the island, it turned out he and Ellen knew each other, as Hooper also came from Hyannisport money, she used to babysit him when he was a kid, and he'd grown up with a huge crush on her. This is what led to them having an affair, as Hooper reminded Ellen of the privileged life she'd walked away from so long ago, though you should keep in mind that the book version of Matt Hooper wasn't short, lovably scruffy Richard Dreyfus, he was more of a blond, buff, handsome surfer boy type. So when Hooper is killed by the shark later in the story, the author presents it as a kind of divine justice for his transgression.

Sorry for commenting so much lately, but I just now found y’all’s channel. My mom’s step dad was in the navy, he was on the USS Indianapolis. Until the day he was gone, he couldn’t talk about what happened there. He spent his years after the war in north Alabama far away from any the ocean. He couldn’t even go near a river or lake.

There are between 60 and 70 attacks each year (WORLD WIDE) and with the average happening in Australia only. On average there are 2.8 billion beach goers each year around the world, so the 60-70 attacks don't even make up 0.02% of all beach goers. There are more Dog Attacks (est 12000) each year world wide.

Great reaction to a classic timeless movie. Well done. ✌️❤️ I would love you two to react to my favorite movie, Apocalypse Now(1979) by Francis Ford Coppola featuring Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duval, Harisson Ford, Denis Hopper & Laurence Fishburn Based on the book Heart of Darkness. The cinematography is off the charts. Every single line in the movie and the narration is purposely done. It would help if you Google searched the relation between the Green Berets and the montagnards beforehand.

I remember watching this as a kid in the UK, it was on TV not even really very late, like early evening i was like 7 or 8 yrs old. the scene with the kid or the lido scarred me for life - all that blood! Anyway we go on holiday to the seaside, this is in England and I'm swimming in the sea and all I can think of is a shark swimming underneath me, I refused to go swimming for the rest of the holiday and my mum and dad couldn't understand why not. This is in the UK, the sea is pretty damn cold even at the height of summer, maybe 12-15 degrees at most - no shark is going to be in water that cold! but my little kid brain wasn't listening to that.

A lot of this was filmed on Martha's Vinyard. Island off the coast of Massachusetts. The ferry in the beginning picks up vacationers from woods hole on Cape Cod Massachusetts. Supposedly during the filming a real large Great White was filmed on location. I remember when this came out in the thearters. Everyone was petrified of going into the ocean. It freaked out a lot of people.

It wasn't planned to make the shark appear so late, and one may wonder if it would be so good and scary if it would have been produced as planned. The reason you don't see the shark that often and that early was because the animatronic sharks they had built wouldn't work. Fixing them did take so long that Spielberg had to think about what to film, so they came up with all those attack scenes (the pier-with-potroast and the whole barrel hunting scheme, for instance) -- to show the shark without showing it.

At the start when the two 18/19/20ish-olds go swimming, the girl gets killed by the shark. Following that at 7:12 the guy says casually "she must have drowned" as if he was saying "she must have got the bus". It still strikes me as completely off-kilter. I've no idea whether he's supposed to come across as completely casual/cold like that or whether it's poor writing/direction but it still stands out to me as a weird note.

Jaws is based on actual events. It wasn't Amityville it was the Jersey Shore. The attacks started in Atlantic City and worked north. The little boy getting eaten is correct. Him and 3 friends were swimming in an inlet and the shark got one of them. It was in like the 1930's. Saw it when I was 10. Scared the SH!T out of me

I was a staff writer for The Galveston Daily News when this film came out. I interviewed a local shark fisherman who held a couple of state records. He loaned me a photo of him landing a huge bull shark while wade fishing. The day after the story and photo were published, there was a fishing contest on the Texas City Dike. One of our writer/photographers got up on a ladder and photographed a line of gaping shark jaws. We got a note from our publisher that he didn't want any more stories and photos of sharks. The Chamber of Commerce was pissed.
