Jaws (1975) - Scars Scene (6/10) | Movieclips

[@maxfrankow1238]

It is here that Quint and Hooper realize, despite their vast differences socially, they are both men of the sea and they have the scars to prove it. Just a great scene.

[@missagente8100]

Probably the only time they ever really got along.

[@roquefortfiles]

I think this is the point where Jaws fans fall in love with this film. The three guys have all become friends. You kind of go... Ahhhhh. How can that not win your heart over.

[@Vanilladye]

Definitely. I also always noticed how Hooper's response to Brody about the Thresher shark("it's a shark") was almost irritated, realizing in that moment that he had more in common with Quint and was annoyed that Brody couldn't keep up with them. A little subtle moment but I always thought that was genius.

+SidJustice1 I know. He was.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

+Bobby Papoutsis That all depends. At least when you drown you're unconscious so even if it takes a while you'd have a better chance at living because the animals would think you're playing dead and since CPR is relatively new in the 70s you's have a better chance at someone picking you up and reviving you. Whereas Quint in the movie, he got bit in half with the teeth sunk in on the stomach. So whether the shark eats him or just lets him go floating around in the water he won't live long because if loss of his legs in water without treatment don't kill him, then the acid in his stomach mixed with his own blood would eat him alive from the inside.

He was so authentic. The real deal. He balanced out the film. And he wasn;t their first choice. Sometimes things really happen for the best.

IMO opinion Robert Shaw and Dreyfuss were so missed in the sequels. Dreyfuss to me was also integral to the success of the original Jaws.

[@darthkahn45]

I never knew Shaw wasn't their first choice, who was?

[@bkavanaugh863]

darthkahn45 Not sure how much they were first choices but it was offered to Lee Marvin and Sterling Hayden and they turned down the role. Robert Shaw was the only choice. I believe he was recommended after other work he had done including The Sting in 1973. Hard to imagine anyone else in the role of Quint. He lived a long life. Was sorry when he passed away.

During these few onscreen moments, we get a nice breather. This comes just before one of the most chilling monologues ever written and put on film. Just for a few minutes, Jaws feels almost like a buddy picture... with the fellows sitting down to dinner and telling stories.

[@MrTribalsun]

J. Rossi you're so right man.We truly admire this movie.We feel proud we were here to watch it born or not at the time. i wasn't but i watch it later This movie is just like good old wines that just got better with age and can claim legendary movie title.This decompression part before entering the monologue part is essential to make the audience feel easy going and then to capture people's goosebumps on the monologue part just like a nail on the wood. Amazing.No words to describe.A lot has been said by a lot of comments. No special effects like modern times movies but just like someone said in the comments , in terms of acting,of editing,etc,you can hardly remember a movie that even match this one.Even i would say nowadays movies.Some of them are crap compared to JAWS.

And then after the uss indianopollis war talk,Bruce coms back and tries to ram into the boat,which led to the engine getting destroyed,he really wasn’t playing games anymore with the trio.

[@JediPhoenix1976]

I've read the original book, and trust me, just about all the characters are NOWHERE NEAR this likable. Spielberg himself said that he was just about rooting for the shark itself when he read the book. Smartest thing the man did was change the personalities of the characters - the fact that we end up caring about them is what helps makes this movie so damn good.

[@Howlingburd19]

For those who don't understand the bull shark scar. Shark skin is very rough, rougher than sandpaper and is covered in denticles. These denticles are very streamlined and sharp, which helps a shark move in the water more efficiently. A scrape from shark skin could severely cut your arm, poor Hooper :( And this movie is still legendary in 2023!

[@Shadywolf09]

I like the setting in this scene. Hooper and Quint are together under the light, sharing stories about scars. Brody is in the dark, away from them because he doesn't have the life they do. The stories about scars also alienates Brody because while Quint and Hooper are bonding over stories about injuries from marine animals, Brody silently looks at his scar, a scar that can't help him be a part of the conversation. The isolation as well as the togetherness of the characters is so subtle, but so obvious at the same time just by how the characters are placed and the lighting.

[@phillymathguy8142]

No swearing, no bullets flying, no fighting. Just two drunks comparing body scars. You have to pinch yourself to realize they're ACTING! That's talent.

Epitome of "don't tell, show" rule of film making. And life. But it's also funny how this scene breaks that rule. They are basically telling awesome stories from their past. And we, the viewers, are left with our imagination to paint those scenes. Fantastic character development technique.

The clip ended early. If you're curious, the USS Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine in WW2. The survivors were all (except one) killed by the largest known shark attack in history. He talks about it later. I've read a little bit about the book. The captain of the battleship was put on trial for negligence. Interestingly, the captain of the submarine that sank it spoke in his defense. The public anger from families of the sailors was too much and the captain committed suicide. He was exonerated sometime during the CLINTON administration!

[@shasta4501]

This is a moment in the movie where the action grinds to a halt so the audience can process what had just happened in the previous scene. It's a time for both the characters and the audience to take a break from the action so the film is enjoyable, not tiring. You could get up, go to the bathroom, get some more popcorn, get a refill on your Coke, come back, and not miss anything absolutely essential for the story. If you decide to stay, you get a little bit of bonus character development with these guys exchanging stories. Win-win. The Japanese have a name for moments like this. They call it "ma." The fact that so few modern films have any kind of ma really makes me think that Hollywood really needs to start slowing down the pacing and letting the characters lead the way, instead of the plot.

It is legendary that the making of JAWS was a nightmare for all involved, with budgets and shooting days going overboard.

How fitting that it was the scene when Quint and Hooper finally find common ground after butting heads for most of the journey.
