The introduction of the shark in jaws after not seeing it for so long in the movie is a very satisfying and the Williams score is fantastic.
I know this scene is over shared on social media but man does it get to me
If you haven't seen the movie, be sure to check it out. Also has a killer soundtrack.
This though OHHHH this is my favorite scene of any movie ever.
I don't think James Cameron will ever top this:
That movie seems to be forgotten but the whole thing was brilliant and that scene is just off the charts.
I saw it in theaters and it was so well done it all seemed real to me. I think I aged like 5 years when they were trying to revive her.
Her acting is insane in that scene. The drowning and even when she is dead.Same. I don't think I have ever been that anxious during any scene ever. It makes you realize how truly horrific drowning would be. The whole movie does an excellent job of making you feel claustrophobic watching it.
Such a classic movie.
"In this union will there be meetings?'
"Of course!"
"No Meetings"
What I particularly love about the movie is how quickly and smoothly it shifts tone and then decides to split the difference. It can be charmingly sly or even playful, suddenly take a dark turn and then quickly shift into violence that goes over-the-top into comedy the longer it progresses. "Thanks for the pen."
Her acting is insane in that scene. The drowning and even when she is dead.
That shit should have gotten her and Harris an Oscar nomination.
Apologies for the crummy capture, it's the only version of the full scene I could find.
The only setup you need here is that John Cusack's character is a professional killer. The back and forth between Cusack and Arkin through the scene, with the darkly humorous undertones, really drives home the tone for the whole movie and contains some great lines in a movie overflowing with them.
"I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork.... how have you been?"".... and I know where you live.""Recurring dreams of loss and pain for ten years featuring the same person.... yeah maybe it's bit... obsessive..."
