Summary

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their revisit of 1975's JAWS with Part 2 of their breakdown and analysis of this modern classic in honor of its 50th anniversary. Steve and John did an episode on this film years ago, but are continuing 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	I just found out that a girl got killed here last week.
0:07.0	And you knew it.
0:10.0	You knew there was a shark out there.
0:14.0	You knew it was dangerous.
0:18.0	You knew all those things. But still my boy is dead now. There's nothing you can do
0:26.3	about it.
0:34.4	Hello and welcome once again to the cinephiles, where we are continuing our epic, deep dive into Steven Spielberg's Jaws.
0:41.4	My name is Steve Morris. I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California.
0:45.6	Uh, hello, this is John Roke. I'm a writer-producer and host and voiceover artist down here in San Diego, California, near the water, near the beaches.

1:04.8	We could just go in at any time and start watching it and be perfectly happy.

1:14.1	middle part of the movie and there's so much great dialogue and there's so much great
1:19.3	acting and direction and cinematography and pacing in this movie, man.
1:24.2	It really is a film that you can learn to appreciate more and more as you get
1:28.7	older. And as you become more aware of film technique and film analysis, it's a film that
1:35.3	really holds up when you're looking back on it or watching it again. And so it's such a pleasure
1:41.8	to watch the film every single time now.
1:50.8	And, of course, we couldn't do this kind of extensive deep dive without our supporters on patreon.com slash the Cinefiles.
