So-so, unremarkable

For me who is tolerant of thrillers, this so-called "classic" disaster film "Jaws" is lackluster. Watching "JAWS" was out of my plan. The subject of shark hunting was not my thing, but I realized that this early work of Spielberg actually set a box office record, so I just watched it and I can only say that Spielberg This kind of master director can't escape the limitations of that era, so you can watch it casually. The 1970s was the era of mass production of Hollywood thrillers. "Jaws" was able to achieve a landmark box office success. I guess it is probably because Americans really value the sun, beach, bikinis and surfing... The trick of thriller movies is "fear." From the unknown", the underwater bottom is suddenly far and near, and the unpredictable cold-blooded killer is creepy. As soon as the clumsy props of this great white shark surfaced, the sense of fear suddenly disappeared, and the captain was brought to life. When the orgasm was eating, I was expressionless. This kind of contrast is quite interesting. Some old movies have become more new over time, and they have become more and more brilliant in the long river of time. Some successful commercial movies are not at all classic when they are released today... As for the excavation of human nature, The trauma of the soldiers after the Second World War, the anti-war thinking goes so far, please, just take a little bit of the water and stop. . .

    The rating of jaws is so low, the nightmare of childhood, I had a lot of terrible dreams.

    The start was fascinating, and the story and several main characters were slowly brought out. It is Spielberg's consistent style, telling the protagonist's own story through the chat of several characters. The big white shark in the movie didn't show his first face until 1 hour and 20 minutes later in the movie. That scene really scared me, it's really big! Despite the age, the action scenes in the film are still pretty good-looking.
