Dun Dun. Dun Dun. (Get it, its music!)

How do you review a movie that has gone down in history as possibly the greatest horror-animal movies. Jaws is a suspenseful action ride directed by Steven Spielberg himself. I saw this movie as a kid and when the opportunity came to watch it again and write a review for it came, I found myself nearly jumping at the chance. The movie started and I was instantly as excited as I was the first time I watched all the action unfold. The start of the movie begins with the legendary shark itself attacking a woman while she takes a late swim. I think what happens next is pretty self-explanatory. Immediately after this the police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) tries to close the beach because of the attack, but of course this does not work. It takes another attack before a bounty is put on the shark and we are introduced to the famous shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw) as he decides to interrupt the towns meeting with a polite offer of his services, just as long as its to the tune of $10,000 dollars. Around this same time we are introduced to a marine biologist that is brought in by the police chief, he goes by the name of Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss). In an attempt to not spoil a movie which I'm sure a large percentage of the planet has already seen, I'll sum up the rest of the movie by saying these 3 men team up to take down the undersea beast. While watching this movie I was trying to focus a lot on the lighting and camera usage of the scenes. There was a lot of techniques used for this film but one stood out for me, it was during the attack scenes. There was of course, the famous music change that Jaws has become famous for, but there was also a change before Jaws attacks the shots become longer then usual and the camera zooms to an extreme close up of the body part Jaws is attacking, this is repeated throughout the entire movie. There was a great use of props in the water as well as visual effects from Spielberg. The acting is right on and there is not much sign of overacting, even with a large fake shark swimming around the actors they managed to show the real fear well. I definitely recommend the movie to everyone, it is one of the few movies that while being good 'for its time' is still good today as well.
