Description of this Jaws Movie Poster
Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the 1974 novel of the same name by Peter Benchley. In the film, a man-eating great white shark attacks bathers at a beach resort, prompting police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) to hunt it with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw). Murray Hamilton plays the mayor, and Lorraine Gary plays Brody’s wife. The screenplay is credited to Benchley, who wrote the initial drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography.
Filmed largely on location in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Jaws was the first major motion picture to be set on the ocean, and its production was therefore difficult, exceeding budget and schedule. Because the art department’s mechanical sharks frequently malfunctioned, Spielberg decided to suggest the shark’s presence, using an ominous, minimalist theme created by composer John Williams to indicate its imminent appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures gave the film what was then an exceptionally wide release for a major studio film, on over 450 screens, accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign emphasizing television spots and merchandise.
Jaws is the prototype of the summer blockbuster, considered a turning point in cinematic history, and it won several awards for its music and editing. It won several awards for its music and editing. It was the highest-grossing film until the release of Star Wars in 1977. Both films were instrumental in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which aims to generate high revenues with simple-concept action-adventure films released during the summer in thousands of theaters and heavily advertised. Jaws was followed by three sequels (without the participation of Spielberg or Benchley) and numerous imitated thrillers. In 2001, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as a “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” film.
