"Jaws" is one of those films that has a fate for it. The film became so successful, influential and loved that It is impossible to imagine a world without it. When it comes to the "jaws", it feels like in a way, somehow, the film always had to be done. What is ironic is that, 51 years ago, this was not an opinion that almost anyone involved in making "jaws", including director Steven Spielberg himself. To begin with, the prospect of making a big movie image from Peter Bankley's original novel seemed frightening to people even before the cameras rolled out, as numerous directors went to the project before Spielberg was hired. Some left for reasons for creative differences, but others noted how logistically it was difficult to record the story of the film book. After all, how the audience was supposed to be convinced of the truth of the story of three men chasing a giant murderer a great white shark, because with the conventional wisdom of Hollywood in 1974, or the shark would end up looking too funny (because the use of real sharks were out of the question).
Spielberg, hot shooting Richard Mattson's "duel" entirely on real desert roads, assumed he could pull the shooting of the "jaws" on the open ocean with a mechanical shark. Surely, the ambition of the young director turned to Hubris, and the "jaws" became shooting infamous about being sold out with production problems. While those problems are well documentedThe question of how production could overcome these difficulties is less discussed. As part of this year's 50th anniversary of the film celebrations, the Academy Museum will open "Jaws: Exhibition" on September 14th in Los Angeles, and Mr. Spielberg was available on a special day to inspect the press to inaugurate the exhibition. During his speech, Spielberg revealed that the "jaws" did so in theaters for a simple reason: "No one wanted to stop." It may sound obvious, but in making movies - or any task in life, really - it's a mixture of passion and perseverance that really makes the whole difference.
The "jaws" were under threat of seemingly insurmountable elements during the shooting
Among the numerous articles, interviews, documentaries and more to make "jaws", most people know that filmmaking, Especially the third act placed on the Orca Board in the middle of the ocean was not a picnic. However, while many members of the cast and crew - especially Spielberg - talked about how exhausting the experience was, less discussed how production was extremely close to closing and abolishing good as a result. As Spielberg recalls during the press event, the film had all the reasons to be closed, but it was not only because everyone refused to give up, including himself. "I wasn't really ready to withstand the amount of obstacles that were thrown on our way," he said. "Starting with mother nature ... My Hubris was (that) we could get a Hollywood team, go out to 12 miles in the Atlantic Ocean and shoot a whole movie with a mechanical shark." Spielberg continued: "I thought he was going to swim. And I really had no idea that the second one was tempting mother nature and temptation of fate, everything began to advocate against you and us." And he didn't stop there. As he explained:
"And that was what you read and what the exhibition suggested: This was a real exercise in Hubris and vain. But (done) because we all never wanted to withdraw, and that was the whole reason we finished the movie.
As Spielberg continued, he explained how the aspects are simple as well as keeping unwanted items and changing the position of the camera to catch the invasive elements have become an absolute chort of ocean shooting. While filming "jaws", there were often gliders who entered the frame, causing debate on whether it would be better to wait to spend, or save time by changing the size of the camera lens to get a stricter blow (which would endanger the selected movie), or to bring it to the movie. When one reviews all the different logistics involved in making "jaws", it is a miracle that she once ended up, never bothered the defective shark.
Everyone got seawater making "jaws" except Spielberg
One major obstacle faced by the "jaws" is something that US landlords consider to be granted: stability. Indeed, the movement of the ocean that the crew and the crew had to withstand hours during the clock on the schedule that only increased, meaning that almost everyone in the production received seawater. As Spielberg explained, this had less to do with simply being out of the middle of the ocean and more to do with the long periods of interruption, production suffered when the recording conditions were weak:
"So, most of the time we were just waiting. People were playing cards, many people vomited because it was the ocean. I've never seen so much vomiting in my life. I am not. In six months until the sea, I've never seen so many people get sick. For some reason, I never got seawater.
Spielberg's anxiety was not only for himself, his film or the pressure on the studio, nor to his team's life and well -being. As he explained, the by -product of the endless (and endlessly heavy) shoots have never been sure when it ends:
"One of the biggest questions that the crew was constantly asking me, and every week I would have five or six people to say to me," I have kids. I have a dependent. I haven't seen them, I haven't seen my family. I've been here for five months. Just give me an incentive to continue working on your movie. Give me a date, a guarantee of when you deal when you handle when you handle when you deal with when you finish when you are done when you are done. And I didn't know when to wrap up for two weeks before we wrapped in Martha's vineyard.
In Laurent Buzero's "Making Jaws" documentary, Starvala Richard Drayfus reports a story of how Spielberg deliberately did not stay in Martha's vineyard for fear of his team throwing into the ocean, after finishing, and the above -mentioned memory helps to explain the experience. However, shortly thereafter, and of course all these years later, Spielberg admitted that something extraordinary happened between him and his team to finish:
"The crash that happens when you are trying to survive something. It has approached us all. I've never been closer to the crew or the cast until many years later. But this was the ultimate example that when you work as a team, you can actually get the ball through the finish.
Jaws is one of the purest Chinese expressions of human persistence and ecstasy of survival and is no coincidence. In a way, people who made "jaws" had to live through it, and their experience was permanent forever to share them.
