Analysis Of The Movie Jaws
In the movie Jaws they got a new sheriff Martin Brody, he was sheriff that watched over the beach. He noticed that one day there washed remains of a shark victim. He immediately wanted to shut the beach down. Right there when he wanted to shut the beach down was the best thing he could have done because he was looking out for everyone on the beach. The movie is rated at a PG but I think it should be rated higher because of what the shark did to the victims it killed. The thing that was different was that in some scenes of the movie the shark looked so fake you could tell it was animated but then in the other scenes the shark looks like a real one does in the ocean today. I would recommend this movie to people older than 13 or so because

    Seabiscuit Film Analysis

    Due to unfortunate circumstances, I will be lecturing you solely from Gary Ross' Seabiscuit with Randy Newman composing the soundtrack. For a brief overview, the movie starts with a wealthy man, Charles Howard, losing his son and looking for some way to grieve. He begins to race horses and meets Tom Smith, an old-time horse trainer. Together, they spot the unconventional Seabiscuit who Smith sees potential that no one else does. Smith convinces Howard to buy the horse and they find Red Pollard to ride the horse. All of the key parts of this movie are unconventional: Red is too big to be a jockey, Seabiscuit is too small to be a prized horse and Smith is well past his time but somehow they make it work. Seabiscuit gains popularity in a time where Americans needed to be distracted from the Depression Era. The movie continues by Howard wanting Seabiscuit to go up against the "greatest" horse, War Admiral. War Admiral's owner wants no part to do with it. Eventually, they agree to race but not before Pollard seriously injures himself. Seabiscuit is ridden by the greatest jockey of all time and beats the War Admiral. In the next race, Seabiscuit also injures himself. The rest of the movie is Seabiscuit and Red recovering together and later winning the last race shown in…

Using sugar cane knives stolen from cargo aboard the ship, the Africans defeated the gun-wielding Spaniards. With ambitions of returning to West Africa, they eventually ended up off the coast of Long Island instead of the initial destination, a Cuban port.

    My favorite part of jaws was when Roy Scheider a.k.a Chief Martin Brody was talking to his wife Ellen Brody outside and was yelling to his son to get out of the boat that was docked. Ellen thought that Martin was over reacting and just stressed after the recent shark attack. She tried to argue his wishes. After Ellen saw the book Martin was reading with a shark attacking a boat she panic and was rasher than Chief Brody. I loved this part of the movie because it reminded me of something my mother would do.…

    My overall impression of the events is that I think what all the crew members and captains had to go through was really hard and miserable. They had to go through times when they could have gotten eaten up by a big shark or died of thirst and hunger. The way how Hunter Scott used the movie Jaws when Captain Quint tells the story of the sinking of the Indianapolis was just a cool way to learn about the sinking. Hunter Scott had a good imagination when he wanted to start the project and the interviews. Captain Mcvay’s life after the sinking was really hard and not necessary for him to get hate messages in the mail about how it was his fault that a lot of the crew members died.…

    Analysis of the film Jaws

    • 2872 Words

    The beginning of the film Jaws starts of with the first attack. This scares the viewer from the very start and excites them, wanting to know what happens next and who else will be victims. The first victim, a girl, is attacked at night, so this would mean it would have been dark. This is done for two reasons, one the dark is scary to everyone as no one can see what is coming for them, or what it out there, and that links into the second reason, so we don’t see the shark, leaving a sense of mystery. The camera shot changes from being at eye level with the girl to the point of view of the shark. Being at eye level with the girl makes the person watching feel as if they are in the film itself, and can make the person feel more fear as they also know that there is something fast approaching because the shot keeps changing to the point of view of the shark, looking up at the girl swimming. When the shark attacks the girl it keeps the shot at eye level with the girl making the viewer feel as if it could be them. Then the girl is dragged under the water right in front of the camera, making it feel as if it is close to the viewer but also confirming that the girl defiantly has gone under the water. Then in the next part of the movie where they find the body one the beach, the viewer is the last to see the body. This holds suspense and makes the viewer want to see it more as they see everyone else see the body of the girl and reel back in horror, but also makes them not want to see it, as they can see it will be gruesome. When the report is being filled out for the death there is a close up shot of ‘shark attack’ being typed, this is the first time there is some confirmation that it was a shark that killed the girl, and also it makes the viewer look out for a shark in all the other scenes to come.…

    At first sight Salt of the Earth and On the Waterfront seem two structurally independent and unrelated movies that only share some basic theme elements in their plot. However, analyzing both, side by side and frame by frame, can give us a more profound understanding of the American film industry, Hollywood in particular, and its relation to the McCarthyism in 1950s, a dark chapter in the US history.…
