Throwback Thursday



JAWS



The classic we are revisiting today just happens to be a shark movie !!! If u guest shark boy and lava girl you are Wrong! The right answer would have been JAWS

Which is probably the best shark movie ever!! This piece of art was written by a man that gos by the name of Steve....n Spielberg. It won 1 Grammy, 1 golden globe, and 3 Oscars. If you haven't seen it yet then I highly recommend it. Nothing like watching a 20 foot shark tear peoples limbs off while people scream in terror. I mean c'mon whats not to like!


Here's the plot if you're wondering.The peaceful community of Amity island is being terrorised. There is something in the sea that is attacking swimmers. They can no longer enjoy the sea and the sun as they used to, and the spreading fear is affecting the numbers of tourists that are normally attracted to this island. After many attempts the great white shark won't go away and sheriff Brody, with friends Hooper and Quint decide to go after the shark and kill it.




Anyways here's some random facts..............


Steven Spielberg named the shark "Bruce" after his lawyer.

This was the first movie to reach the coveted $100 million mark in "theatrical rentals", which is about 45% of the "box office gross". It was the highest-grossing of all-time in the U.S. until Star Wars (1977).


The average summer tourist population of Martha's Vineyard before the film was released was approximately 5,000 people. After it came out, the population ballooned to 15,000.
