Jaws: Posting Stuff While I Watch

The first barrel

There's a great close up shot of the barrel and the clamp that is not clamped to any line. Shaw's reaction to that is great.

The special effect with the dart hitting the shark is pretty cool because not only does it hit the shark but it squirts blood too. Love that.

As the barrel sinks there's a cool shot of Quint on the bow plank thing. The sun sets behind him. He has a strangely calm look on his face. Classic Spielberg use of big sky and clouds.

Great sunset shot. If I was Spielberg, I would have came if I got that shot.

Inside the cabin comparing scars

The dialogue in this scene is great. Written very well. I've seen people do this all the time, trying to tell the other why their scar is the worst. I've been guilty of doing it.

Brody looking at his appendix scar is classic.

The USS Indianapolis monologue is one of the best things about this movie. The way Shaw delivers it is sad because of how calm and relatively unemotional he is about it. He makes it look effortless but in lesser hands the monologue could have fell flat.
