The Great White Shark is a landmark work, with both word-of-mouth and box office gains, bringing the shark unprecedentedly to the screen as the protagonist. This epoch-making work comes from a now-famous name Steve Spielberg.
He was only 27 years old when this movie was made. Before that, he had only one unknown debut, and he had no right to speak in Hollywood. It must be said that being able to shoot such a work is a perfect presentation of talent and hard work. There was no script when he took over the great white shark, and without the shark props, Spielberg personally produced it and found several screenwriters to adapt it. Under the strong pressure of doubling the budget and four times the budget, he finished filming this "Jaws" and was a huge success, winning his position in Hollywood.
The second work established the status, which was never thought of by all crew members and company executives, including Spielberg himself. It is almost unforgivable to seriously exceed the budget. At that time, no one was optimistic about this movie. Spielberg completed this work under the pressure of being fired every day. At the premiere, Spielberg was next to the screen and was ready to withdraw from the scene at any time after hearing the audience curse. He couldn't accept the failed work. The first audience left, and Spielberg followed out. I thought he couldn't stand the movie, but he didn't expect the audience to throw up in the center of the movie hall. He realized that he had succeeded. The great white shark continues to break records and continues to create miracles. Universal has decided to simultaneously release the movie nationwide without any precedent in history, and the great white shark becomes the annual box office champion.
The great white shark brought not only Spielberg’s glory, but also led almost everyone on the crew to star and become a celebrity. At the time, he was President of Universal and Spielberg’s mentor. He was re-elected as President of Universal for 35 years. Photographer Audio The division and others have all risen to a level, and the shark has become a national hot-selling product, the Great White Shark, which paved the way for many shark-themed movies in the later period.
In addition to the excitement of the film itself, I think the environment at that time also contributed to the success of Jaws. 1975 was still during the Cold War, and the United States as a whole should be nervous. As for the adventurous theme of the great white shark, the fighting spirit of mankind to defeat the shark is meaningless and difficult to defeat the opponent is exactly what the American people need. The American people see the difficulty of winning and the joy of winning in the great white shark. The Soviet Union is the giant great white shark. The ship similar in size to the shark symbolizes the three American warriors, which symbolizes the freedom and courage of the American warriors. It is true and what the American people need. This phenomenon is actually more obvious in China's Operation Wolf Warriors Red Sea. This is the power of the movie to give people the power to break through.
