and $100 million dollars within its first two months at the box office.4 That was a significant relief, as upon the end of production, Jaws had doubled its original budget and went from a planned 55 days of filming to 4 "Jaws (1975) - Box Office Mojo." Jaws (1975) - Box Office Mojo. IMDB, n.d. Web. 13 Dec. 2016. 159. Although these numbers today are paltry. However, in the mid 70’s, these were huge sums, largely unheard of before. This film started a trend of movie studios releasing their highest projected grossing films in the summer time. The storyline of Jaws may be simple.

But Spielberg and his team transformed the simplistic idea into a true masterpiece that did what it aimed to do—scare its viewers, and convince them that the fear its subjects felt was completely validated, and that the viewers should feel it too. This could not have been achieved without the team of editors who cut scenes to actually remove the titular character, who was not always functional due to substandard equipment and water. These were replaced with shots from non traditional angles, and more so to music that so perfectly fit the mood of the film that it has since taken on a life of its own in every media since. Whatever the true reason for its success, Jaws will be remembered in history as one of the first true blockbusters, a semi low budget film whose box office sales were immensely more than anyone expected,…

and I couldn't object; how could I? I was out on a double date with the coolest guy in school! He had chosen me- the dorky little 7th grader who they called George the Giant- there was no room for error. "Would he get popcorn? Maybe a Coca-Cola that we would share just like in the commercials" The answer was no, as he approached the clerk he purchased one box of Swedish fish and one movie ticket. A little confused, I paid my own way; however I was pretty sure that was his job since he asked me…

traumas. The beauty of “The Thing” is that it exemplifies how rich and enticing knowing very little can be to the benefit of the story. It’s a film in which you learn a lot with the characters through theorizing and contextualizing without the necessity of exposition or long-winded explanations that draw you away from the emotional impact it hits you with.
