Yeah. Each is shooting for different goals or emotions. It's why it's such a bitch to talk about Alien v. Aliens.

Not really movie related, but... boat foundLeisher wrote:TheCatt wrote:
This is only a part of the scene, but it includes the best part. All three actors are brilliant and it's beautifully directed. Understand going in that Quint (Robert Shaw) is an old sea man and he makes his living on the water. He doesn't like Hooper (Dreyfuss) because he's a young man using technology on fish and he makes Quint feel outdated. Thus, he's been giving him a hell of a time. Meanwhile, Hooper finds Quint to be an annoying old man the world has past yet he's desperately seeking his approval. Meanwhile, there's Sheriff Brody (Roy Scheider) who is a city boy out of place here and who can't swim. Notice how out of place he feels during the scar comparisons.

I rewatched it this weekend, my wife had never seen it. Its still a solid movie, but I still don't love the pacing. Spielberg got better over time. A few transitions in the movie are just weird, etc.
Does it seem odd to anyone that the privileged kid young shark expert knew about the Indianapolis, but not the cop?

The shark expert wouldn't know about the recent event in which hundreds of men got eaten by sharks?
Cop was from NYC. They're all ignorant there of anything that happens outside of NYC.

He might know about recent events, but something 30 years ago (the USS Indianapolis)? Something where the sharks were secondary to what really happened (the drowning, the insanity, etc). I guess they overplayed the shark angle in the movie.

I presume 30 years ago was within his lifetime, if just barely. Feels like that makes it recent, relatively.
Well, when we first met Quint we saw his place was literally full of shark jaws. It's a nice set piece, but it's a huge hint that he was obsessed with killing each and every shark he came across. Having him tell his story was the payoff of that.... and having Hooper recognize it, and his reaction of horror right ahead of it, sets us, the audience, into just the correct headspace to hear the story.
Jaws is a perfect movie.

Well, I just remembered something. There's a bad audio edit during the autopsy scene... "and this is what happens" seems out of place. But it's like a wart on the corner of Cindy Crawford's mouth... a tiny imperfection to make you realize the package is perfect.
But maybe that single flaw doesn't make the movie according-to-Hoyle-perfect.

I don't find fault with this statement.
