"Great White Shark" was the original summer blockbuster in the United States, and it was the standard by which people later measured summer blockbusters. This is the Michael Jordan of the movie. This movie has profoundly changed the way movies are made and marketed.
According to Peter Bunchley's best-selling book "Great White Shark", "Great White Shark" centers on the fictional North Atlantic resort of Amity Island, where people are terrified by a giant great white shark. Our hero is Martin Brody (Martin Brody). He was originally a New York police officer. After taking over the post of Amity PD, he and his family came to the city and found himself trapped in the city. An unprecedented crisis, which he has never experienced before.
The remains of the young Christine Watkins were found on the beach, apparently the victim of a shark attack (Chrissy Watkins’ death scene at the beginning of the movie is one of the most legendary scenes in movie history. one). Sheriff Brody wanted to close the beach, but the mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) and the shop owners refused their request. They were worried that the shark attacking Emiti Island would threaten the summer. Tourism, this city depends on tourism for its survival. The mayor and his laziness convinced Sergeant Brody that such incidents are always isolated, and because of his lack of experience on these issues, he reluctantly agreed to remain silent.
However, the sharks were hunted again and again, and Sheriff Brody finally found himself facing his own sense of moral guilt, because he agreed to conceal the first shark attack, and at the same time faced a huge human and social disaster. It seems to be his responsibility. Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) is a marine biologist who was sent to Amity Island. When they caught a shark, the mayor thought it was done, but Hooper resolutely told them that this was not the murderous giant shark, because it was too small. Hooper and Brody fought in vain with Mayor Vaughan. Vaughan is convinced that for the city's economy (and his own real estate business), it pays to keep the beach open. Soon after the opening of the seashore, two more people were attacked by sharks.
Finally, Brody and Hooper and the mysterious, vicious and vicious Quint (Robert Shaw), the most feared and respected shark hunter on Emitte Island, in order to find and kill sharks and save the town Freedom from financial disasters. What follows is an epic, the pursuit of man and beast, which will make Herman Melville and Joseph Campbell proud. Facts have proved that our sharks are much larger than average-sized sharks, are amazingly fast, powerful, and surprisingly smart. Scientist Hooper is in awe of encountering Bigfoot; Quint, the cunning fisherman, feels he has withstood the ultimate test of sharks; Quint is a cunning fisherman with a serious shark impact on his shoulder Fragments. Brody has poor swimming ability and is afraid of water. In order to stay calm, he must overcome extreme fear and disorientation.
Robert Shaw's "Quint" is one of the greatest anti-heroes the movie has ever seen. He was both funny and terrifying. He recalled the tragic sinking of the Indianapolis--at least 900 U.S. Navy personnel died from shark attacks during the week awaiting rescue--the most chilling and painful in history. One of the unforgettable movies.
"Jaws" is the best film of Steven Spielberg's career and one of his best films. But because of his blockbuster success, it is easy for us to forget that he is a director who can skillfully and ingeniously confuse horror and comedy. He grasped the timing very well and got wonderful performances from his actors. His love of special effects has never exceeded his understanding of the importance of stories and characters.
Having said that, the most exciting aspect of "Jaws" is an accidental accident.
The special effects team has not completely ruled out "Bruce"'s mechanical shark when filming begins. Under strict budget constraints and huge studio pressure, Spielberg had no choice but to keep working hard, but his crew was in vain to let the sharks work in the cold and corrosive North Atlantic waters. In order to make up for the existence of non-functional fake sharks, Spielberg created the illusion of the existence of sharks in the early scenes from the perspective of sharks and John Williams' famous two note themes. Fortunately, the staff was able to get Bruce into operation in time to film this showdown, some of which were filled with live shark footage taken by Australian underwater video pioneers Ron and Valerie Taylor. Therefore, the audience’s fear is magnified by the fact that in most of the movie, they can’t see sharks, and the suspenseful climax people and beasts are on Kunt’s fishing boat.
"Great White Shark" has achieved success at almost every level. If the shark looks a bit fake, remember that when "Great White Shark" was released, "Space Invaders" was at the forefront of computer graphic design, and there was no such thing as "Discovery Channel Shark Week"). Roy Shide's "Brody" is a typical ordinary person, an ordinary person plagued by fear and guilt. He finds himself in a special environment and rises up. Dreyfus’ "Hooper" is reckless, not as brave as a nerd or self-righteous, and his friendship with Brody became the backbone of the film (Spielberg and screenwriter Carl Gottlieb wisely Deviated from the role of Hooper in the novel, Hooper was originally Brody's enemy). Robert Shaw's "Quint" is the modern Captain Ahab, and a respectable enemy of this vicious shark. The suspense is powerful and the action is stimulating, but the development of humor, emotion and character makes this movie far more than any summer blockbuster at the time.
