Jaws

It's a type of horror, similar to Lovecraftian horror. Akin to 'unimaginable cosmic terror', the theme is about humans, an apex predator in one domain, being outclassed in a different domain, by a apex predator more powerful by orders of magnitude.

This theme is highlightened by Quint's story of the delivery of the atomic bomb: Humans had just killed more humans than everybefore in one blow, but when placed in the sea those same humans from the Indianapolis were killed by sharks, without any mercy.

no i Don't, sorry for Calling you a "dummy" then.

there is a good new thread

do you considere predator as a slasher ?

The Book it's based on is actually about political power, passion, and Martin brody literally being a cukolde and letting matt hooper fuck his wife.

The shark is just a background character that allows all of the other characters to gather at amity island and fuck Brody's wife.

t./lit/erally better than you, because i read the book.

You're right but it doesn't feature a human attacker and there's no knife or other blunt instrument used on the victims so I don't think it really counts, especially with how the antagonist is an oversized shark.
No, I don't think that would ever work in anyway whatsoever, Jaws is too incompatable with other movie killers. The main sort of theme with Jaws is that if you're in the water and the shark gets to you you're fucked and there's no escape whilst with serial killer characters on land in other horror franchises there's still often a chance for the victim to escape since it has plenty of places to run and escape to but in Jaws the ocean is the shark's habitat and the people are out of their element there.

Favorite movie when I was a child, in elementary school I wanted to be a marine biologist, not that I understood what that job actually was. I wish we could get more quasi credible monster movies like Jaws or Jurassic Park that were well written and crafted.

They should make a movie about the Indianapolis, there's a great Hardcore History episode on it: youtube.com/watch?v=Jqu7mM0kheE&list=PLDQodNReFza3nYpTZlXv-Eg78ommifora&index=7&t=0s

Honestly the best shark movie other than Jaws is probably Open Water. I haven't seen it in like fifteen years but I remember it getting a lot of hate, but I remember feeling like it successfully captured a deeply desperate and unsettling feeling. Not that there's much competition honestly.

Don't know if this is real or not but regardless, it scares the shit out of me: youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=-m3N_BnVdOI&feature=emb_title

I was so pissed when I read that chapter.

Nah the predator in this movie is more of a biter.

I always shout this when I'm at the beach

People can fall for this as real? I thought it was intentinally fake?

>What's your favourite aspect of the Jaws franchise

That swimsuit really says "1974"

no one post IT
*that* scene
the scariest scene in the entire film
don't

>Not Robert Shaw

It was a good good year
The kids were alright,
"Highway to Hell" beat up "Stayin' Alive",
The Clash was on the radio
And mum and dad were still in love,
In 1974
It was a good, good year

It's obviously fake but pretty cool nonetheless.

Giant shark aside, why was Jaws so.... real? The townsfolk, the beach, the dialogue, the small details, etc made the movie look like a documentary at times and the chemistry between the characters is unbelievable. I feel like directors don't care much about these things anymore.

>"Highway to Hell" beat up "Stayin' Alive",
The Clash was on the radio

These didn't happen until years later. Highway to Hell came out like 3 years after Stayin Alive too.

3 had a neat soundtrack though. It felt nothing like Jaws though.

Mr Spaghetti Eye

Well, now, that doesn't look like an erect penis at all

well the opening scene was basically a rape

Jesus christ user, slow down on the porn for fucks sake.

kek

Wtf he said it DIDN’T look like one

This. Just don’t.

My favorite aspect of it is how masterful it is in every conceivable way. This is actual art. Outside of this, I think maybe 47 Meters Down has my second-favorite shark scene. It’s the flashlight scene.

Yeah, I actually own a copy of 47 Metres Down still in the plastuc unopened that I bought like teo years ago and still haven't watched. Is it any good, is it really eorth me watching?

how simple a life
if I were a shark i don't think i'd manage that last part though

I haven't seen the film yet bit I've seen the clip of that scene. She's in the sharkcage before it falls to the ocean floor and she drops ger flashlight out into the pitch black ocean beneath her with the light still turned on and a great white shark swims past where the light is pointing and it looks somewhat creepy.

I liked Open Water well enough thought the catalyst of them being lost annoyed me to no end. For a similar film that skews in between Jaws and Open Water, I recommend The Reef:

Dumbasses, there are at least 19 films in the Jaws franchise.

The Meg was a decent modern Jaws spin off

I like that it scared gullible Americans so much that they started hunting and killing sharks

Kek desu

Jaws is a perfect movie, there's nothing I would change in it, well, the shark could be better in a few scenes but it's not their fault the tech and expertise to make it work wasn't quite there yet.

>Max Spielberg
SAD!

At least 3 was fun, unlike Jaws: The Revenge. For such a notorious movie, it's surprisingly dull for the most part.

The music is top tier, really elevates the parts that create tension.

UUGH MY HAT IS LIKE A SHARKS FIN

What's the name of the movie where the chicks stuck on a booey close to shore with the great white circling?

The Shallows?

>The Meg was a decent modern Jaws
The Meg is a Kaju movie
