Quint gets a bird's eye view in his "nest"




A visitor...be careful what you wish for.



All because action takes place on a small boat (the Orca, in the case of Jaws (’75)), doesn’t mean a director of considerable talent can’t present it all in a larger than life fashion through some nicely composed photographic choices. Case in point, above.


Then, of course, dumping all that bloody chum in the water is bound to finally appeal to a bloodthirsty Great White. I always love how this plays out. It comes unexpected. The Great White emerges while Brody’s face is turned away. This boring, monotony becomes a jarring realization that Jaws is closer than they (or us) thought.
