				Dad's Full (Spoiler) Review 
				and Deep Dive of Jaws  
				"Well, this is not a 
		boating accident! It wasn't any propeller, it wasn't any coral reef, and 
		it wasn't 
				Jack the Ripper! It was a shark." – Matt Hooper after 
		examining the remains of Chrissie Watkins 
				Why watch this? 
				It's Dad's top film, numero uno. It's ignited the love of film 
				within a curious 10-year-old. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Chief Martin Brody, new to the small island community of Amity, 
				faces a terrifying challenge when a massive great white shark 
				begins attacking beachgoers during the peak summer tourist 
				season. Despite Brody’s efforts to close the beaches, the town's 
				mayor, fearing economic repercussions, prioritizes tourism over 
				safety. As the attacks escalate, Brody teams up with an expert 
				marine biologist and a seasoned shark hunter to track and kill 
				the formidable creature. Dad's Preview: 
				Jaws was the first major film from a young director named 
				Steven Spielberg. It is adapted from Peter Benchley's 
				bestselling book about a hungry great white shark dining on 
				bathers off the New England coast. There is suspense at every 
				turn thanks to deft direction and an 
				incredible Oscar-winning, John Williams soundtrack. There's 
				drama, dread, and some of the best 
				jump-scares on film. The film perfectly captured the novel's 
				mood, and added its own levels of character development, humor 
				and bloody terror. 
				After this movie, which stayed in theaters for OVER A YEAR, 
				folks 
				would start using the term "Summer Blockbuster".
