Jaws, a film directed by Steven Spielberg was a
mega- hit movie that helped established Spielberg as one of most iconic film
directors of all time. The movie is about an East Coast resort, Amity Island,
been plagued by attacks on swimmers by a large white shark. If played now
probably it would seem as an ordinary subject, but after further analysis, one
could say that Spielberg was one of the many that started contemporary American
Cinema.
Despite the fact of being a successful box office movie,
there are some attributes that make this a great movie to watch. It tapped into
the idea of the universal fear of what might be in the sea; the idea of something unknown coming to terrify our world . Further the iconic music that creates a sense
of fear, suspense, and intrigue into not knowing when the shark is going to
come out is masterfully played. From the beginning to the end Spielberg get us
hook into the story all the way to the climax when we actually see the shark
and all the way in the end when the heroes win such a great battle,
where man beats nature.
In a way you can say that this was a project of a
new director, not everything worked out for Spielberg in this movie. This was
an experimental process for him and you can somehow see it in the movie; a
young director trying to do his first major movie and a man in the story trying to protect his town against nature. This
movie has all the great elements of a great entertaining film, put together in
one piece for any type of movie goer that enjoys a great time at the theater.
