Instead, he knew it would do no good and provide no crumb of comfort to that poor lady grieving and that's something that this current generation could learn from. The blame game doesn't do anything in the end but rob the person at fault, the opportunity to seek out and attain redemption.

Brody is wrong. Of course, the mayor is really wrong. It is his idiotic greed even in the face of a nightmare killer lurking in the water there. Yet, Brody had a new job as the chief. Understandably, he felt he did not know the ropes how to deal with everything in a beach town well, yet. But he should have closed the beach. Of course. Most every single sheriff would. Whoever has the call to close the beach and sees a chewed up dead body on the surf and doesn't close the beach is very wrong until the shark is found or clearance after days is granted. Brody absolutely is very wrong, IMO. That girl was eaten alive causing her horrible, painful, horrifying death. And he agreed to keep the beaches open for people to swim in the ocean. I think it is unrealistic. What sherriff, what mayor would really do this? Great, great movie. Yet, I can't imagine a town on the shore ever not closing the beaches after a death in the water from a shark attack. No swimming there for a few days at least or until the shark is located and killed. And they have to notify the swimmers that a person was killed by a shark in this water. You can't just let it be like nothing happen. Not the first few days, definitely not. I don't even know if this is legal not to notify swimmers a person was killed by a shark. The mayor and sheriff would be ina lot of trouble, legally, I think. They did not even post signs on the beach or anything about the shark attack. They close their eyes pretending maybe a boat did it. In the middle of the night not far at all from the beach, in the ocean, a motor boat is out there in the dark of night. Yeah sure. They know that is a lie.

If you’ve lived near the beach you’d know they rarely ever come close to beaches. It’s extremely rare to spot one. And when they are seen, they don’t usually attack anyone because they come out mostly at dawn and dusk, when no one’s in the water. Even at day they’re more curious than vicious. But if there is a shark sighting, it’s the responsibility of lifeguards or cops to tell all beachgoers. So this is a silly comment

[@kgunitkeese17]

neonnights They didn’t really show them having any lifeguards on high podiums to keep a lookout. So almost everyone on the island is at fault for that. Even though it’s incredibly rare for a shark to come to Amity Island, they should still always be vigilant because sharks can be very unpredictable when it comes to travelling the ocean. Sharks will always find places in the ocean or food is plentiful and they’ll prefer to stay in that area until the season changes. They will come again every season of that time.

Especially if you are swimming far enough where your feet cant touch the sand. We’ve had incidents where small sharks bit off child’s arm. There is no amount of police awareness that will make a change, everyone neutraly agrees that the beach is the ocean and there is responsiblity to yourself to take caution.

She just died from covid 19

Pisses me off to this day that this woman slapped Brody. Brody was trying to do something about it. The Mayor deserved the blame.

Politician makes a call, some one else pays the price... Sounds about par for the course.

Roy Scheider stated in an interview that in the scene where Lee Fierro (Mrs. Kintner) smacks him in the face in "Jaws" (1975), she was actually hitting him. Apparently, the actress could not fake a slap and so the seventeen takes were some of the "most painful" of his acting career. Also, Fierro stated in several interviews that in one of the takes when she slapped Roy Scheider, his glasses fell off.

I’m teaching my son about the meaning of humility. Incidentally, Jaws is his favorite movie. This is a fine example of Humility, Integrity, and Subordination. He could have said, “Hey lady, that’s assault! I told the mayor I thought we had a shark problem! Slap him!”, and completely side-stepped all of the above. But he’s Martin Brody, he’s just the f’ckin man. And he didn’t disappoint.

Later in the film when the beaches open on the 4th of July the mayor says that a large predator “supposedly” injured some bathers. The way I see it he still feels no remorse, guilt let alone responsibility of the loss of one life.

[@danielhetue6968]

She should’ve slapped the mayor instead. Brody tried to close the beaches despite Vaghn refusing to let him do so.

That scene adds so much to the movie unsettling atmosphere

BRODY GOT SLAPPED IN THE KISSAHHH

[@davetrevor4561]

'really a classic great scene

[@sonja3659]

Captain America : Civil War scene when Stark and Mrs. Spencer was from this scene

[@user-gw1cw3yz6y]

Confirmed too

"Don't worry MRS. Kintner, the Amity POlice Dept. will gladly replace the rubber raft".

She should have been arrested for striking a police officer.

[@cameronturk4388]

I think Brody saying to the Mayor at the end of this scene “No She’s Not” was in his own way saying back to the Mayor No It’s You Who Is Wrong, Not Her! If you had let me close the beaches in the first place her son may still be alive kind of thing.

[@80steen44]

Nah, he's owning it. He know the Mayor is someone admitting that it was him (the mayor) who is to blame0 but Brody isn't even gonna let the mayor share the blame because Brody knows he could have done it anyway.

[@beckster5923]

Poor lady. I don't blame her. And how could he say she's wrong? That beach should have been closed when they found out about the shark.

[@texasrockshillcountry6574]

Beckster but mayor vaughn wouldn't do it. He threatened to fire the Chief if he didn't capitulate to his order. All these "heros" brag how they would have gone against the mayor. Yeah, and they would have just been fired and the beaches would have been open anyways. Nice try keyboard "heros"!

[@rooster8616]

Anyone here to pay their respects to Lee Fierro?

[@chiefscheider]

Anyone here begging for likes?

[@rooster8616]

@@chiefscheider I see the Heartless Buttholes are out good going.

[@chiefscheider]

I happened to love Lee. We did many takes of that scene.

That mom must have a super uterus!! She must be at least 62. The dad must be 100. He must stroke his salami with Omega 7 shark fin oil.
