JAWS! A film that came out in 1975 is still being remembered to this day for completely changing the Hollywood scene. The film that started the whole shark genre, won numerous awards and brought a new perspective to the art of filmmaking. That is Jaws. It truly is inspiring to see a film with this much ambition behind it and come out perfectly executed.
Jaws follows the story of Brody, Hooper and Quint as they hunt down the great white shark that is terrorising the beaches. A story that's so simple but so effective at the same time.
Whilst watching the film you realise that Jaws wasn't just great because of the shark but it was great because of its characters. The characters of Brody, Quint and Hooper all played by the late Roy Scheider, the late Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss are so memorable. Their chemistry is perfect due to their conflicting personalities but in the end they work together as a team which is what makes this film feel so satisfying.
Despite the many problems Spielberg encountered during the production of Jaws, he perservered and created something really magical and groundbreaking. It is impressive the amount of work he put into this film considering this was his second feature film. And how can I forget about the revolutionary score by John Williams. That shark theme will NEVER get old.
Jaws is such a magnificent film. A film that millions of people have watched and still consistently view. A film that has influenced filmmakers around the globe. A film that can be rightfully deemed as a MASTERPIECE.
