Title: 'Jaws'
Release Year: 1975
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton.
Plot: After the continuous attacks of a lethal shark awake terror in a little coastal town, police chief Martin Brody decides to hunt the creature down.
Review: If you must know something about Spielberg's early movies is that he's a genius in not showing things. In Jaws that's the key of the movie.
That and, of course, the wonderful score created by John Williams (that was played everytime the shark was going to attack, increasing the tension as the audience knew what was going to happen), made of the film (that could really be considered a cheap sunday afternoon TV movie without those characteristics) a major success and a tense cult film.
Although being the most prepared one for the mission, Quint is devoured in the mortiferous jaws of the man-eater shark
Apart from the score and its key role in the origins of Blockbuster movies, Jaws also features an actually built shark. The fact that it's not a digital addition contributes to a major realism, like when Quint is killed, when the jaws of the animal seem to really penetrate in his body for a bloody and realistic scene. The ending, with the famous line 'Smile, you son of a...', it's a glorious finale in which all the tension explodes and you end up breathing fast with a strange feeling of relief.
"Smile, you son of a..."
