Jaws: Posting Stuff While I Watch - Page 8

Brody's wife is a hottie in her bathing suit.

Various shots of the townspeople in the water. All of this builds suspense to what's coming. Sean (Brody's younger son) warns his brother that he doesn't want him to go into the water.

"...injured some bathers." Man this actor must have gotten death threats back then.

There's a shot in here of Brody on the beach wit beach umbrellas behind him. It's another terrific shot that could be a postcard.

The shark fin scene.

We see the fin come sailing in on the left of the screen and from a distance. I remember people being freaked out when they saw it in the theatre. Oddly enough, and I could be wrong, it's the first time we see a dorsal fin in the movie. When Alex Kitner was eaten, we see the pectoral fins. So, we actually don't see the classic shark dorsal fin poking through the water until after the fake fin is pulled out of the water 1 hour into the movie.

Knowing now that the fin is fake, some of the reactions of the people in the water are absolutely hysterical.

"Oh. My. G-guurrrggglleee!" Classic.

It's amazing. I've been playing and pausing to write stuff. Almost everytime I've paused the movie, the picture onscreen could be a postcard. It's almost always composed extremely well.

I love the guy who throws the kids off of their inflatable raft and then grabs it for himself.

And then screaming lady who just stands there in three feet of water is pretty comical as well. Maybe not intentionally so but what a dinglecheese she is.

And we learn in this "Shark!" scene that if you're old, you're going to get trampled. Take that, elderly.

The kids are caught seemingly by Stormtroopers in boats. Listen to their voices, total Stormtroopers. Well, this came out before Star Wars so I guess the Stormtroopers in that movie were actually Coast Guard hippies.

"He made me do it."
More humor.

Hippie jeans with patches girl finally sees the real shark. We know this because now the music starts playing. Something I didn't realize is that during the whole previous panic scene, there is no score playing under the scene. No music. Like he did for the T-Rex attacking the SUV scene in the first Jurassic Park. Music not needed.

Shark in the pond. Right where the chief sent his son. Nicely, done, Chief.

Scary hippie dude hanging out in his own boat checking out boys in another boat gets eaten. "Hey boys what're you doing? You alright over there? Wanna come in my boat? Sit on my lap? Have some Jesus juice? Hey boys!"

The best things about this scene is the way the mechanical shark slowly sinks in the water and how real the fake leg looks. The leg jiggles when it hits the bottom. That's so righteous!

Michael's close call with the shark. It's another great shot.

Now it gets personal. Brody decides to go after the shark.

There's a terrific shot of Brody looking out to sea through the pier supports. So very cool.

Cute nurse/doctor whatever he is pushing Michael's gurney. He has a stethoscope...

Trivia:
What kind of ice cream does Michael ask for?
