You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

To finish up the horror and suspense genre, we watched the old-time classic film Jaws. We all know the story of a killer great white killing innocent, unsuspecting swimmers off the coast of Amity Island. Three men, a shark hunter, a marine biologist, and the Amity Island sheriff set off to kill the monster and bring it's crimes to justice. The elements of the film continually keep you at the edge of your seat and guessing till the very end. Jaws itself set forth a stereotype of sharks that has terrified people for decades and keeps you from even dipping a toe in the water. Spielberg directed the film to portray sharks as ruthless man-eating machines and that their specific pray is in fact, humans. Not only that, the shark in the movie made the shark out to be smarter than anticipated from a marine animal, and rather stalking of its hunters. One scene in the movie that added to this picture of sharks being killers is the story Quint related to his fellow shipmates of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. About 11,000 men in the water and only a little over 300 came out, all due to sharks. The representation of sharks in Jaws should give everyone the right to be terrified of them.In perspective to other thriller movies, Jaws sets a category of it's own. Not only does it interpret fear emitted from an animal, but it takes an unusually unique perspective on hunter and the hunted. Halfway through the movie, the roles of predator and prey switch, with the ruthless shark pursuing it's hunters in comparison to the original roles in the beginning of the movie. In short, Jaws is and will always remain a classic, topping the lists of movie fanatics for decades to come.
