CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Quint (Robert Shaw) reveals to Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and Brody (Roy Scheider) the chilling shark-infested nightmare of his past.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on Peter Benchley's best-selling novel, Steven Spielberg's 1975 shark saga set the standard for the New Hollywood popcorn blockbuster while frightening millions of moviegoers out of the water. One early summer night on fictional Atlantic resort Amity Island, Chrissie decides to take a moonlight skinny dip while her friends party on the beach. Yanked suddenly below the ocean surface, she never returns. When pieces of her wash ashore, Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) suspects the worst, but Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton), mindful of the lucrative tourist trade and the approaching July 4th holiday, refuses to put the island on a business-killing shark alert. After the shark dines on a few more victims, the Mayor orders the local fishermen to catch the culprit. Satisfied with the shark they find, the greedy Mayor reopens the beaches, despite the warning from visiting ichthyologist Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) that the attacks were probably caused by a far more formidable Great White. One more fatality later, Brody and Hooper join forces with flinty old salt Quint (Robert Shaw), the only local fisherman willing to take on a Great White--especially since the price is right. The three ride off on Quint's boat "The Orca," soon coming face to teeth with the enemy.

Check out the final scene where Fonda as Joad delivers his stunning "speech" to Ma Joad. It will move you to tears. 3. Zelda Rubinstein as psychic Tangina in 'Poltergeist.' Check out the scene where Rubinstein as Tangina explains to the grief stricken parents where their missing daughter is, how she got there and-most chilling of all- exactly WHO is keeping her a captive. It will chill you to the bone.

Did Marlon Brando and Robert Shaw ever appear on the screen in the same scene? That would be amazing. I would bet they would probably hate each other and Shaw would try to upstage Brando, like Steve McQueen did with Yul Brenner in "The Magnificanr Seven". But all four were professionals when "Action!" was called.

My thoughts 1000%. At no time should ANYONE who's seen this performance not believe the man lived it. I've seen a f**k ton of movies in 59 years, and I've NEVER been so enthralled. The fact that Shaw wasn't even nominated for the Oscar is the very same reason that Scott thumbed his nose at the award. George called it "a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense, for economic reasons." Robert Shaw should have a 40-foot statue in Hollywood as far as I'm concerned.

@Sound Logic Spielberg learned this even while he was shooting. The mechanical shark never worked right, so Spielberg decided a completely different approach. He never let the audience see the shark, but only implied its presence. Spielberg said, "The LESS you see, the MORE you get. I had to be more like Alfred Hitchcock, less like Ray Harryhausen." Interestingly, Harryhausen could have done an excellent job with a fake shark, but it wouldn't be nearly as frightening.

Nobody would believe in it now with the obstacles production and filming were facing, much less any producer. I absolutely do not believe this movie could be made today and be as authentic as the original is. Like, they shot the thing on the ocean. Bruce was practical effects. These days this would’ve shot in a pool and the shark would be CGI. Disgusting. Lightning in a bottle, man.

"Telling" is things like narration or text or characters calling other characters "sister" or "father" to convey information to the audience in a ham-fisted way. This monologue came off natural and flowed cohesively from the banter that preceded it. "Telling" would be Quint saying to the men, "I hunt sharks because I had a traumatic experience with sharks back when I was in the war". This is showing Quint demonstrating that. The script demonstrated rather than explicated. The audience infers that he hunts sharks because of that experience rather than the audience being told that outright. So the rules of "show, don't tell" were not broken here.

During the story he doesn't ruin the talk it's a cold retelling of what happened.

Not entirely. They could do an "Indianapolis" movie realistically, in the same vein as "Dunkirk" or "The Darkest Hour". Spielberg would have added his unique touches, including the shooting star and the horror elements of the sharks. Give him an original John Williams score, and it would become another classic.

@merrylderrickson3147 22 күн бұрын

stroke of genius the way this was shot. Many directors would do a slow zoom front and center, straight on as if Quint were speaking to us, but he goes with thirds, with Quint at 45 degrees and uses the other third with Hopper in frame just out of focus; and it's his intensity (no doubt awe struck of Shaw's talent) and his slow heavy breathing that give this sequence that much more weight and intensity.

This was the beginning of his truly great period.. he rewrote the language of film music for the next quarter century and beyond with his work in the mid to late 70's. If it wasn't for his success in rebooting the old fashioned "romantic" school of film scoring with orchestra in Star Wars, film soundtracks as we know them would have evolved on a completely different trajectory. Most influential of the last 50 years by a mile.

@ka74 9 ай бұрын

So very many layers in this scene. On the one side you have the vengeance aspect having gone thru what he did with the Indy. In parallel you have the redemption angle with being responsible for delivering the bomb. Then you have the survivor guilt for being one of the few who made it when so many perished in horrible circumstances. Shaw's performance is so amazing in my reading of the take because you can sense there is a great turmoil in his soul because of these issues (and maybe others), and he becomes both strong and frail in his humanity as he tries to make sense of what he has done and suffered. An amazing scene and take ;and one I come back to often as it is truly a masterpiece of character and acting.
