Summary

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha revisit 1975's JAWS in honor of its 50th anniversary this year. Steve and John did an episode on this film years ago, but are ready to give it the FULL Cine-Files treatment here. Directed by legendary director Steven Spielberg, the film stars Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw, Lorraine Gray, and Murray Hamilton. Scheider stars as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a New England summer resort town. Nominated for four Oscars, it won for Best Original Score, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound. It lost Best Picture to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene to break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and more.

0:00.0	It's all psychological. You yell barracuda.
0:05.0	Everybody says, huh? What?
0:07.0	You yell shark.
0:10.0	We've got a panic on our hands on the 4th of July.
0:14.0	Hello and welcome once again to the Cinefiles,
0:23.9	where this week we are returning to the world of Amity Island and Jaws.
0:28.5	My name is Steve Morris.
0:29.4	I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California.
0:32.5	Hello, everyone.
0:33.0	My name is John Roke.
0:33.9	I'm a writer, producer, host, and voiceover artist in San Diego, California, and very
0:39.1	excited to be reopening the doors to an old episode of ours to reassess Jaws and start from the
0:47.5	beginning and talk about all the great stuff, Steve, because it is the 50th anniversary, which is
0:52.9	kind of mind-blowing to consider right now.
0:56.0	Well, and I think you and I have agonized a fair amount over this choice because our first time we did Jaws.
1:02.4	It wasn't one of the short ones at the very beginning of the show.
1:05.2	It was a two-hour episode with our great guest, Eric Rogers, and we're proud of that episode, and I like that
1:11.3	episode. And we, you and I both have so much more to say about this film. And finally, it was a
1:15.9	conversation with our advisory board on patreon.com slash the cinefiles. And they all universally
1:22.7	said that you guys should do it again. And we're so grateful to them, A, for their advice and support, but also to the support to everyone on Patreon, as well as Apple Podcasts. We literally couldn't make the Cinefiles without you. Absolutely. Yeah. Thank you all so much. And that advisory board meeting was very illuminating to see how many people were so in support of us doing Jaws. And another way you can support us here on the Cinephases, we have these wonderful sponsors that sponsor us here on the show, Washington Red Raspberrys, True Diagnostic, quite a few of them, hymns who support us on the show. So if you hear, when you're listening to the show, if you hear an ad that you like or a product that you're interested in, we would so encourage you to use our code so you can get some money off of this product as you try it out, but also let the sponsors know
2:06.5	that supporting us is something they should continue to do. So that's another way you can
2:10.4	support us here on the show. So I would like to offer a formal statement before we begin the general discourse. I'm, first of all, I'm really glad we're doing this movie. And we've often said this thing on the podcast, where as you come back to films at a different time in your life, you'll see different things. And man, is that true on this one? Oh, yeah. In particular, I feel like I just went through film school again
