Cinematic perfection

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2016)

If someone where to ask me why I love films so much my response would simply be "Jaws". This film is one of the main reasons why Steven Spielberg is my favorite director as it truly shows his talents on full display here and at such a young age. The expert blend of suspense with genuine shock is proof that Spielberg is the second coming of Hitchock. The cast is top notch with the three leads fully emerging themselves and the audience in their characters, and their chemistry creates a film that would be interesting even without the man-eating shark. Jaws also helped me to get into my now favorite genre of film: the monster movie. And also holds the distinction of being my all time favorite horror film. Every aspect of Jaws works, from John Williams ingenious score to Exhilarating opening, Jaws will grab by the gut, throw you around and never let up and you will enjoy every second of it. My favorite aspect of Jaws, however, is that fact that a film with such a simple B movie premise managed to not only be good but be one of the greatest films ever made! That is why I love film.
