Speaking of Jaws, I always think the first part of the film (after the awesome opening Jaws kill which I will eventually write about in the future) where Brody's usual day consists of a lot of active New England townsfolk needing favors and the general operations that accost him is often overlooked. How could your nerves not be frazzled by all these people constantly bombarding you. I hadn't really thought much about it in previous viewings, but Brody's life is just overwhelmed after the two shark attacks. All the amateur shark hunters loading boats, hoping to score a reward for the Jaws' capture. How do you manage these wannabe shark hunters, with their buckets of chum and sticks of dynamite?
I think Spielberg perfects the busy day-to-day of the locals and how important it is to keep Amity progressing. There is people all over the place, really. Conversations going on all around, people talking over each other, and just active dialogue because towns are like that. It isn't just about certain characters in a shot that we need to hear, but why not have us realize that all of these people are vividly realized individuals, most are fishermen hoping for the big score, some are just typical local townsfolk with nothing better to do that get involved in whatever is happening around the waters of Amity.
