So-so, unremarkable

For me who is tolerant of thrillers, this so-called "classic" disaster film "Jaws" is lackluster. Watching "JAWS" was out of my plan. The subject of shark hunting was not my thing, but I realized that this early work of Spielberg actually set a box office record, so I just watched it and I can only say that Spielberg This kind of master director can't escape the limitations of that era, so you can watch it casually. The 1970s was the era of mass production of Hollywood thrillers. "Jaws" was able to achieve a landmark box office success. I guess it is probably because Americans really value the sun, beach, bikinis and surfing... The trick of thriller movies is "fear." From the unknown", the underwater bottom is suddenly far and near, and the unpredictable cold-blooded killer is creepy. As soon as the clumsy props of this great white shark surfaced, the sense of fear suddenly disappeared, and the captain was brought to life. When the orgasm was eating, I was expressionless. This kind of contrast is quite interesting. Some old movies have become more new over time, and they have become more and more brilliant in the long river of time. Some successful commercial movies are not at all classic when they are released today... As for the excavation of human nature, The trauma of the soldiers after the Second World War, the anti-war thinking goes so far, please, just take a little bit of the water and stop. . .

    From today's perspective, "Jaws" is a very good film. From the perspective of 30 years ago, "Jaws" is definitely a classic. After 30 years, how can it be done if it is not a classic? In this film, Spielberg also showed his outstanding director talent. Whether it is the structure of the arrangement or the ease of retraction, the film always narrates in a smooth way, and it also helps him to continue directing "Zhu Zhu" in the future. "Luo Ji Park" and other sci-fi giants laid a solid foundation. That year, Spielberg was 29 years old.

    This is a film that I seem to have seen or haven't seen, anyway, I am still fascinated by the atmosphere it creates.
