CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After witnessing a shark attack firsthand, Brody ("Roy Scheider":) is left helpless during the ensuing panic.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on Peter Benchley's best-selling novel, Steven Spielberg's 1975 shark saga set the standard for the New Hollywood popcorn blockbuster while frightening millions of moviegoers out of the water. One early summer night on fictional Atlantic resort Amity Island, Chrissie decides to take a moonlight skinny dip while her friends party on the beach. Yanked suddenly below the ocean surface, she never returns. When pieces of her wash ashore, Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) suspects the worst, but Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton), mindful of the lucrative tourist trade and the approaching July 4th holiday, refuses to put the island on a business-killing shark alert. After the shark dines on a few more victims, the Mayor orders the local fishermen to catch the culprit. Satisfied with the shark they find, the greedy Mayor reopens the beaches, despite the warning from visiting ichthyologist Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) that the attacks were probably caused by a far more formidable Great White. One more fatality later, Brody and Hooper join forces with flinty old salt Quint (Robert Shaw), the only local fisherman willing to take on a Great White--especially since the price is right. The three ride off on Quint's boat "The Orca," soon coming face to teeth with the enemy.

2:10 Notice how even with what just happened and the complete pure chaos going on, Brody still won't set foot in the water. He runs until he touches it, then he kind of looks down, takes a couple of steps back and just runs back and forth at the water's edge. THAT'S a great actor that completely embodies his part.

[@Guamparrapo83]

because of his fear of water, you say? But that's something we can understand afterwards in his house, when they talk about that

[@lionelhutz5137]

I also believe in the novel, if I'm not mistaken, reveals that Chief Brody witnesses a drowning when he was a kid and is the main source of his fear of the water.

[@andresjulio7073]

Really? Because in the film he was the one who drowned

Misty OjaiGirl Still, it's not fair because Brody did what he could to prevent more attacks but the arrogant mayor and all those other fools stopped him, they deserved the slap in the face, not the chief.

[@MOG007]

Firemarioflower I agree with you I just appreciate it when the actors with smaller roles pull out a top notch performance and you might never see those actors again but you will always remember their one moment. Its kind of sad but acting in general and actors don't make much money unless they hit a certain marketability. I know some fine actors and they struggle to make ends meet despite their small but great contributions.

[@Firemarioflower]

Misty OjaiGirl Oh, like Chrissy at the start. Yes, i can agree with that. Good point. There's a lot of actors out there, where you'd love to see more of. But when they do only 1 or a couple of films, it's pretty unique, making it more special and memorable.

[@roquefortfiles]

+Misty OjaiGirl I got to watch this very scene with the lady who played Mrs Kintner. Lee Fierro. At Jaws fest in 2012. She sat a few rows away from me. When her scenes came up the entire audience gave her a standing ovation. She had to stand up and bow. It was a very special moment for Jaws fans. And Lee was very gracious about it. Having fun and laughing. This movie is legend.

Fun Fact: To film the shot where the boy is being killed by the shark, a diver was in the water pulling the boy down under, and pushing him above the water to give the effect that he was really being dragged around by the shark and to represent the shark as extremely powerful.

This tells you so much about the character. He's in a position where he's so conflicted, with his fear of the water and his duty to protect those who aren't. This shows you how far Brody grows internally from this scene to the last scene when he's swimming back to shore.

Lee gave an important supporting role that grounded and brought "soul" to JAWS. She will live on for many generations to come who will continue to enjoy her touching performance.

I was just listening to the audiobook and this scene was described very viscerally. Then when I saw the scene here from 1:58 to 2:00 and hear the kid gurgle, it is just nauseating imagining the kid being chewed and crushed alive. The novel described that the Shark chews him up after it clumps on the kid in one bite and then proceeds to chew him up...like when one takes some fries and some are hanging out and we chew then into our mouth. The kid somehow mercifully only had one conscious thought on the initial attack feeling as if he was punched in the stomach...JAWS and ALIEN are two gems from the 70s

So raw and violent how he got eaten.😢

[@EternalRoman]

@@SharkFemme Believe it or not, the novel is more centered on the People rather than on the Shark itself. The way it reminds me is much like Stephen King's writing when he describes the small towns and the people's mentality. The Shark in a way is a catalyst to steer up the community's psychological aspects, but whenever the Shark is present we get views from it and the views of the would be victims. The focus shifts from one person to the next and to the Shark as well. Perhaps the only thing that it does extend is in Brody's wife, but I won't go into details. Just know that many things were changed from the book maybe to keep the focus on the Shark and the threat it posed. In the Novel the Shark is more of a looming unseen threat and then when it attacks it is felt.
