      A tragedy caused by "leadership"

      The film basically copied the previous work in plot, and it is far less exciting than the previous work directed by Spielberg. Not recommended to watch, waste your time.

      Although the movie is not very good, some of the plots in the play let me not think about it: If the leader is a fool, what should the subordinates do?

      In the previous work, the small town leadership headed by the "mayor" was just lustful, but in this work, it was directly "blind" collectively. Faced with...

      "Great White Shark 2": Electric Grilled Great White Shark



      After one lap of Jaws 2 in 1978 , I continued to watch the series and finished watching the "Jaws" series.

      The story of this film continues to revolve around the first island. On this small island, the people on the island are still living as usual, but a great white shark appeared in the sea, and this great white shark is constantly attacking people. The managers on the island, like the first one, ignored the sheriff's warning and were keen on the development of...

      Disaster classic, do not expect a sequel

      When Roy Schneider leaned against his wife and said that he was tired, look at his face now, he was indeed too tired, and he brought us too many good movies. The whole tone is similar to that of 1, and the clues are arranged very well. When a line comes out of the seabed, I know very clearly that it is the submarine cable that has been hinted to everyone in 1. The struggle with sharks is still over and using from the mouth The way to blow it up is probably one of the best ways to make people...

      Since killing one, the sheriff became cautious. No, the homicide happened again. The operator still deceived himself and fired Brody for his own benefit. As a result, the sharks naturally opened their mouths and acted recklessly in the sea. Help the children not believe in evil, sail a boat out to play, thrilling scene after scene, so scared to lose their souls, even the harbor patrols are suffering, it seems that high-voltage electricity is a good...

      So the same group of people, in the same place, made the same mistake in the same way? This is not called a sequel, this is called a copy, not only the story, but also the photography, the music. For that group of children - the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, I just think they are...

    Background creation

    After "Jaws" broke the box office record in movie history, Universal Pictures was eager to launch a sequel. In October 1975, Steven Allan Spielberg said at the San Francisco Film Festival that all sequels were bad tricks and ignored the producer's invitation. Under the recommendation of screenwriter Howard Sackler , the producer chose the stage director John D. Hancock as the director of the film, and the producer invited Hancock's...

    Evaluation action

    One of the most commendable aspects of the film is that the whole film has a kind of deterrent. The director wanted to use the successful deterrence technique of the previous episode, but due to the limitation of props, he quickly abandoned this "implicit" technique and instead used the great white shark to open his mouth to scare the audience. Of course, this kind of direct scare technique can also receive a certain effect, but it is...
