Dødens gab
While it would be one of, if not the biggest challenges, a modern filmmaker would ever likely face. Not because the bar that was set by Spielbergs masterpiece; but also with how beloved and how embedded into the popculture this film is. It's such an iconic piece of cinema.
From the very bone chilling and scary opening to the unforgettable climax. With all of the characters, performances, dialogue and the whole delivery & timing of the dialogue. To the whole atmosphere and John Williams iconic score. And with how the shark was utilised through "POV" shots, power of suggestion and using the score as a signal, to let us know its prescence. The fact that Bruce the mechanical shark wasn't working, for most of the making Jaws, proved to be the best happy accident in the history of film. Everything just came together intentionally & unintentionally through the malfunctioning of the mechanical shark.
Jaws was such a lightning 🌩🍾 in a bottle film.
The USS Indianopalis Speech is my personal favourite part of the entire film. It's such a powerful, memorable & iconic speech from Quint.
But here's the question: 👇
Could a modern filmmaker actually make a successful Jaws remake, or is it one of those films that should simply be left alone? 🦈
For those of you who think it can be remade. Please let me know who you think, would be the best choice to remake it as well. That would be very a very interesting topic to discuss.
