Shaw should’ve gotten the Academy Award for his performance in Jaws.

[@UmbilicaLashed]

Right! He didn't even get nominated!

[@knicks_yanks]

Criminal that he didn’t.

[@vhscopyofseinfeld]

Absolutely. One of the greatest performances of all time.

[@chrissinclair4442]

@@UmbilicaLashed I assume there were geo politics at play. I don't know if it was because he was sympathetic to the IRA, or if he wasn't. He owned a home in Ireland, but may just being a foreigner or didn't mix right.

[@Salamander676]

I feel like most people don’t get academy awards when they’re gruesomely devoured at the end of their performance. It has something to do with politics, favored people and a specific formula in a film involving a specific actor. The academy awards is a joke. Some the best movies I’ve seen are never nominated

[@nymike06]

Robert stole the show in Jaws. Should of been nominated for an Oscar. One of the best ever on screen performances.

His monologue about the Indianapolis was simply one of the greatest in film history. And not only was he drunk when he did it, but he wrote it, too. Incredible.

[@jamescurran6277]

John Milius wrote it.

[@tiffsaver]

@@jamescurran6277 It's true that Milius dictated the general lay of the scene over the telephone, but Shaw dramatically edited it down to the final scene you see today. Either way, magnificent work on behalf of both.

[@Kinesiology411]

​@@jamescurran6277it was Howard Sackler's concept, which Milius overwrote as a 10 page monologue and Shaw edited it down by about half.

[@etkreeves]

If you read Robert Shaw's novel The Flag published in the early 60s there is a very similar monologue @@Kinesiology411

[@Plathismo]

I believe he was drunk when he first attempted it but couldn't pull it off to anyone's satisfaction. He came back sober the next day and nailed it.

[@octocreepy]

Mr. Shaw's portrayal of Quint gave the movie the character it needed.

[@billkramer2994]

All parts worked! The haunting music, the sheriff who ckd not swim and egghd Dregus the opposite of raw Quint. And the Indianapolis scene below decks brought the theater to the silence of a grave site!

[@octocreepy]

@@billkramer2994I Agree with all you have said. What I meant was that without Quint they would have been fighting the shark from the shore the whole time and closing the beaches. Even though the shark killed Quint, he knew to end the problem you have to go kill the shark.

[@billkramer2994]

@@octocreepy Don't thnk so. The city ist put out a bounty and we saw all the amateur numbnuts go out on the water. It was a wily pro like Quint that knew what had to be done. Like hiring the right gunfighter after amateurs all failed in the old west. One great western "the professionals" says exactly that. Want a mind twister find "Memento" Guy Pearce one of today's grt sleeper actors fr Eng.

The storytelling of the U.S.S Indianapolis by Shaw was one of the greatest scenes in movie history.

I took my girlfriend now my wife out to a Saturday night movie. We went to see the great Waldo Pepper with Robert Redford. But if you showed up at the 7 o’clock hour, you would be the test audience for a new movie. We went. we had no idea what this movie was about, no pictures, no one has seen it before. The movie started with the nighttime beach, bonfire, where the girl and the guy went off and the girl went into the water swimming. The man in front of us with his wife had to be in his 80s. He was probably there to see the great Waldo Pepper, which was a movie about old airplanes with radial engines, and 2 wings… early days of air flight that poor man could have had a heart attack the way he was reacting to the test movie. He was standing up halfway out of his seat at times. The whole audience was not moving from their seats to go to the refreshment stand or even to the bathroom. The movie was Jaws. That was in 1975 when my wife and I were dating. that evening the way we were ambushed by this movie, we were not prejudiced by anyone else’s opinion, no clue ..that was the most entertaining movie I have still ever seen in my life ever.. Nothing has topped it.

[@lyndoncmp5751]
