All Time Classic
A classic, one of Spielberg's finest if not his finest work.
A movie I've watched many times in the past on TV or worn out old videotape. This was the first time I've watched it on DVD and can I just say it brought the film back to me the way it should be, with all the chills and thrills. The amazing John Williams score rattling around the Surround Sound, the crystal clear picture, the blues of the water, the crimson red of another Shark Attack. The scene towards the end that has a shot of the boat at night with a Shooting Star rattling across the sky is one of my all time fave moments in movies, the calm before the storm if you will. Then there is the classic opening scene, one of the best in movie history in my opinion for grabbing an audience. Truly superb. This movie is flawless, the acting from Dreyfuss, Schieder and Shaw - the scars scene is a classic and the "head popping out of the boat" moment actually made me jump this time around. So much fun and getting to see that lovely documentary on the making of it, so many amusing stories about the trouble they had whilst making this movie. If there hadn't been the problems with the Shark would the movie have been so damn effective? Things we will never know. Anyway I just love this movie, I rate it 10 out of 10 every time. |
