Jaws Will Probably Keep You Out of the Water for a While

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2017)

This is one of the first movies that brought Spileberg into the hall of fame of Hollywood and, by now it's still a classic and a masterpiece.
It tells us the story of Chief Brody who has to deal with the problem of a giant great white shark attacking the people in the city he works on. the story is very good and at any moments you feel it boring or nonsense. The characters are very good and the actors involved in here provided very goof performances that really help you feel this fear and panic at the appearance of the shark. if I have only one thing to complain about it's that the characters were a bit predictable and despite the three main characters, the rest did nothing important.
Well, in fact the shark does not appears until the last half an hour or so, until then you only have tension. Many underwater takes, as it were taken from the shark's point of view, swimming between the legs of all the people on the sea and the two-note motif created by Williams and that's even more effective than the appearance of the shark itself. And that's why it's so impressive when you finally see it, trying to destroy the ship of the captain Quill and each time you see a barrel floating out of the water you can feel the tension again.
That's one of the best things of this movie. It really gets you in tension even if by now you can see that the shark was an animatronic, because it was so well created that it will surely frighten you. And as I said above, you have the score by John Williams, who collaborated here for the first time with Spileberg, and created a magnificent, frighten and grandiose score, that marked the quality of their future collaborations.
A highly recommended movie, specially if you are a real fan of Spielebrg, John Williams and fan of the great cinema classics.
