In the first part of the big collection — the movies that set the fashion and generated a wave of imitations.

I first watched this Steven Spielberg masterpiece in my early childhood and it made a very strong impression on me. By itself, it is not very scary, but it carries a huge charge of pure anxiety, which does not let go until the very end. Of course, the world fame of the director begins with this picture, and already here you can feel his working style, which has become native to every film lover in any country of the world!

The film Jaws does not have a large budget, but Spielberg's talent allowed him to make the most of what was and make just the same masterpiece, which gave rise to a whole genre of similar films. And what is interesting is that the sinister shark is not shown in the Jaws all the time, but stealthily: that camera will look out of the water with the shark's gaze, then the water will suddenly turn red, etc. Of course, it is more interesting not to constantly look at the monster, because it will become familiar and completely not repulsive, but to give us horror crumbs in order to bring us to the final to the point of concentrated horror! And interestingly, this whole shooting style turned out only because of technical problems with the famous layout of the great white shark. In our case, it happened fortunately and the Jaws were removed as they are!

I also note the amazing acting of Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfus in the role of the townspeople, who, by the will of fate and duty of service, must protect the resort town from horror. And, of course, the soundtrack of Spielberg's constant composer, John Williams, heats up the atmosphere of eerie obscurity just to the limit. The melody from Jaws is one of the simplest but most memorable in the world of cinema, and in the thriller genre!

After the first Jaws, a lot of films and TV series about sinister sharks were shot, but none of them managed to even come close to the level of Steven Spielberg's Jaws. This is a truly iconic movie and every fan of a good movie is obliged to watch this masterpiece!

For some reason, I've often heard that the shark here is kind of stupid, but no, it's done quite well, as it seems to me. Or I haven't seen many sharks (fortunately). The film seemed quite disturbing, even horror in places. Excellent, in general.

When I was a kid, watching it seemed like a horror. And now, after so many years, it doesn't seem so scary when viewed. The special effects are very lame at the highest level for that time.
Recommended for viewing.
