Jaws

Okay, I completely understand it now. Seeing it in IMAX, with the proper cinema experience, I really understand exactly what is so great about this film. The camera work is absolutely gorgeous!! The entire time that’s all I could think is how gorgeous it is. That dolly shot is so perfect too. The music is of course iconic, but it’s so easy to call John Williams ‘Iconic’ that sometimes I think we overlook exactly WHY the music is iconic! It just works so perfectly. It’s tense. It’s haunting. It’s brutal and cold and takes its time. Just like a predator hunting its prey. Also as much as we talk about how this is a horror. It’s not nearly spoken about how funny this film is. Genuinely had me laughing out loud multiple times.
