Jaws-
A masterful film of suspense and sound. Thats the shortest way to sum up the movie “Jaws”. Almost 40yrs after the date of its release the score for the film is probably the most well-known within the states. When I was a kid I knew the theme for that shark before I was even allowed to see the movie. The suspense of this film is what really made it so great to begin with. As many know the shark they used in this film was mechanical, since its kind of hard to tame a real one after all, and one of the biggest problems they faced was figuring out how to make it look real and terrifying. Spielberg’s solution? Show as little of it as possible until the very end. “There is no greater fear than the fear of the unknown”. A quote that I feel is comparable to this film because for most of the film no one truly knows what they’re dealing with until its too late to escape.
