Скачать или смотреть The movie JAWS almost became a disaster!

During filming the shark animatronic nicknamed Bruce, kept breaking down and simply refused to work in the ocean. Steven Spielberg originally planned to show the monster constantly but with the shark malfunctioning, sinking and failing over and over again he was forced to change everything.

So he decided to hide the shark, using point-of-view shots, John Williams’ iconic score, and the fear of what you don’t see. The result was a suffocating sense of suspense, where the danger felt even bigger precisely because it was rarely shown. A flaw turned into genius and the shark that didn’t work ended up creating one of the most tense films in cinema history.
