JAWS is a 1975 thriller film starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw and Lorraine Gary, directed by Stephen Spielberg. A giant, man eating, great white shark arrives at a small beach community in New England and wreaks havoc. They never say whether the shark is a male or a female, but, it has big, white deadly teeth and a thirst for blood. After a woman is murdered by the shark and the body washes up on the beach, covered with crabs and a boy is killed by the monster, the Mayor refuses to close the beaches because he is interested in the money brought in by tourists, especially for The Fourth of July Holiday. The same goes for the small beach community and its business owners who depend on tourist dollars to survive. The Mayor convinces the small beach community that a Tiger shark has been killed and then we we see a ship load of people arriving for the Fourth of July Celebration at the small beach community. We see people having fun and children building sand castles. Brody and Hooper head out to sea to find the shark, but, instead find the wreckage of a boat with a sizable shark's tooth protruding from the damaged hull. Hooper discovers the head of the fisherman of that vessel. The Mayor still refuses to close the beaches. Quint is hired to kill the shark. So, Body, the sheriff, Hooper, the rich marine biologist and Quint head out to find the man eating shark, estimated at 25 feet long. Sadly, Quint in a disturbing and bloody scene gets eaten in half by the shark after it jumps onto their boat and continues to eat Quint while he s screaming. This is an eery thriller and we get a glimpse into the shark's point of view, that it is an eating machine and interesting in swimming around, eating and making baby sharks. It is always good to take precautions when swimming, you never know when the next Great White Shark will arrive again on shore.
