*Words cannot describe just how legendary the music for this movie is* And it still is in 2024 :)

No words at all it just is

One barrel chase is a banger bruh

[@ianeckhoff1992]

The music from the scene was playing in my head while I was taking my GED test.

[@CarolFremel-my4hs]

I saw a video of Spielberg talking with the composer about the music very interesting

[@SamuelBlack84]

The idea of being eaten alive is such a primal terror going right back to ancient times

[@jamesdrynan]

So the story goes...an Australian couple, Ron and Valerie Taylor, were working with an inexperienced diver named Carl Rizzo. The production team had sent a scaled down cage and Carl was a small man. This was done to make the 16 foot sharks look like the 25 foot long one in the film. Carl didn't want to go back in the water after having seen the Great White up close. He was just about to get in when a real shark got entangled in the cage. Carl would have died had he been in the cage. Spielberg used the footage of the shark thrashing about in the movie.

0:45 when the cellos really kick in, perfectly timed with the sharks awesome appearance. Hitchcock must have wept when he saw this.

[@robbillington1982]

Watched it again today in 4k with the mono it was fantastic. Please release this masterpiece with the mono for the 50th anniversary in cinemas. It’d still beat anything out today by a mile

[@Levan038]

I've seen the entire Jaws saga and needless to say, this is the best. Also, Bruce still looks like the biggest shark even though the ones in the sequels are said to be bigger.

[@AnthonyScarpa-er3sq]

Well the shark in Jaws 3 was definitely bigger / biggest 35 feet

[@robbillington1982]

He looks great here the 4k cleanup was fantastic too and I don’t think the producers were able to get a believable shark after Bruce he’s perfect

[@baphochrist]

The cage has barely just been lowered. Hooper hasn't even collected himself yet and the goddamned shark is IMMEDIATELY towards him. Just perfect. I'm honestly not the biggest Spielberg fan in the world but this movie is a top ten Horror classic still.

[@noppapulaowattanathaworn9839]

Fun fact: an actual shark attacked him, he was supposed to die there but the scene was too good so the writers had to re-write the story it to keep the legendary scene.

What did he consider it, a musical?

[@Huntflash2n]

0:37 very iconic shot of hooper as he realized he is fucked

[@Golgari213]

That part at 0:45 Man from a storytelling perspective that's the shot! That's the moment when Hooper finds out this shark isn't simply hunting anymore. It's out to get them, and won't stop until either he or them are dead. Who knew an fish would make for such an iconic antagonist. Spielberg and Benchly perfected their stories.

[@robbillington1982]

To this day I believe almost that they’ll make it back to shore and drown the shark but then blasted Quint breaks the engine in his fit of rage!! Great tale though

[@SamuelBlack84]

The ocean being absolutely d3voud of all sea life helps to create the sense of a standoff As though all other creatures are terrified of this ferocious beast that stalks the murky waters

[@Golgari213]

@@SamuelBlack84 well said!

[@Boxingbear]

Have to think about it from the shark's perspective too I guess. These guys have been harassing him, shooting him with spear tips attached to barrels. It must be like " Alright you puny things. .let's do it !! "

[@chadchadly3564]

The making of this scene was lightning in a bottle. A shark filming crew went to shoot the exterior shots of this scene with real sharks. They put a miniature dummy in a mini cage to make the shark(s) look way bigger than they really were. One of the sharks accidentally got caught in the mini cage and destroyed it trying to escape, this wasn’t in the script or planned. Spielberg saw the footage and rewrote the scene to include Jaws destroying the cage and having Hooper escape to the bottom of ocean. It looks so real because it is real. This movie is truly something special.

[@serviceadvisormaxbyservice916]

I know I will get flack for this but Jaws, in my opinion is the best movie ever made. Even over Wizard of Oz.

When the shark appears in the distance and the music hits, it reminds me of driving in my car out in the hood or in a rural area at night and then an animal darts out of nowhere.

[@leonardvicari2857]

The shark in the cage was filmed by Ron and Valerie Taylor the scene with Hooper investigating Ben Gardner's boat and the head falls out when hooper tries to remove a sharks tooth was a scary scene

[@marvinandrade8934]

That a huge great white shark!!!! 😮

[@robwalsh9843]

Jaws in many ways is a reimagining of Moby Dick. Human brain against beast brawn. Us humans are pretty amazing in terms of what we can build and how we can think, but on a physical level we are no match for the sheer power of a great white shark.

[@Dukesparrow1999]

The only question is: which will triumph, brain or brawn?

[@crymeariver9141]

In this movie the shark was both brawns and brains

[@podsmpsg1]

25 feet long for an adult male Great White Shark is rare.

[@casesoutherland4175]

Yeah. I think the largest great white ever recorded was 22 ft.

[@Zeruel3]

@@casesoutherland4175 There was a 23ft shark caught off Malta in 1987 but it was a female, inside her stomach was a 6ft blue shark she'd swallowed whole and an 8ft dolphin she'd eaten in three bites

[@harrycallahan9143]

2:07 Hooper helps make this scene with those underwater screams, dread to think how terrifying this would actually be with the cage breaking around you with that coming for ya.

[@mantabond]

First the set-up: the threat appears, then it goes away. Now, silence, and the spectator, now made aware of the danger, waits with pounding heart.

[@diegofavaratozfilms962]

That’s such an amazing way on how to build up suspense

[@mantabond]

[@robbillington1982]

I still reckon this movie is the best ever it perfected and honed what came before and was set to be a hallmark for what came after

[@Rattanalnwpory]

This is one of those classic scenes that was really great for. Sharks don't have to be big to be as powerful as a megalodon. No need to show off the yacht. No need to use excessive CGI effects. But again, he did it perfectly and more realistic than many stories in this era When the giant shark appeared in 0.46 At that moment, the great white shark seemed very awe-inspiring to me.

[@PoeDameron15]

I don’t care how fake that mechanical shark looks. I would not want to be in the middle of the ocean with a beast that massive. 🦈

[@wolfpredator155]

2:52. The exact scene tha make hooper survives in the movie. Originally Hooper was suppose to die, but Spielrberg want to keep this scene. Due to nobody was in the cage, Spierlberg make that change

[@robbillington1982]

Prefer the book for the final chapters

[@WoodenRailwayWonderland]

It make sense for the book hooper in that is an affair partner and much less kind so he dies because he is so unlike able. But he is not that in the movie so it makes sense for him to survive.

[@sultaa86]

1:12 the most terrifying Thing. Staring into the endless darkness of the Ocean and not knowing what's out there...

Best sequence in jaws also whenever hooper screams is hilarious

1:26 Jaws: “ Ya thought I was gone boi?”

[@biggeek2256]

I always love how the music builds as the shark approaches the cage and how it also fades when the shark makes its pass and seemingly disappears into the gloom of the water and then… silence, tricking us, the audience, into a false sense of security before it moves in for the attack

[@ianeckhoff1992]

If this scene were more realistic, then Hooper would have released a brown cloud underwater.

[@Howlingburd19]

It’s crazy to think this movie was expected to be a big flop! Of course, the opposite happened and it changed the world. You see, it’s production was a total disaster; the script had to be changed during the production, there were weather problems, it was tough to shoot scenes in the water, and the three animatronic sharks were extremely unreliable. Spielberg originally wanted the animatronic sharks to have more screen-time, but multiple problems forced him to have the animatronics appear less. All of this caused Spielberg to shoot many scenes of the shark hinting it was really there when it actually wasn’t. An example being the yellow barrels; they moved in a way so that the audience could believe the shark was really there. It was surely meant to be considering one of the movie’s greatest strengths is it’s suspense, and it wouldn’t have been the save had the shark appeared more!

Yea originally the shark breaks the cage and Hooper died but the shark that wiggled on top of the cage was a real shark and Spielberg liked it so much that he changed the script so hooper got to live.

The shots with the real shark were the first shots filmed for Jaws. Filmed February 1974 off South Australia. The shooting for Jaws with Spielberg did not begin until the May. The live footage of the shark fighting the cage was so incredibly spectacular (nothing like it had been filmed before) that they felt they couldn't leave it out.
