Review: 'Jaws @ 50' Tells Definitive 'Behind-the-Scenes' Story

MEXICO, JUL 3 – Jaws transformed shark perceptions, spurring both fear and curiosity, while Mexico faces ongoing challenges with shark fishing and conservation, catching 20,000 to 40,000 tons annually.

  • The 50th anniversary screening of the movie Jaws took place on July 18 at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, celebrating the film first released in 1975.
  • Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg, took 159 days to shoot instead of the planned 55, due to mechanical shark breakdowns and ocean challenges during production.
  • Three mechanical sharks were built for the movie, and the Orca boat from the film recently appeared at Martha's Vineyard to honor the 50th anniversary celebration.
  • Mike Sterling, a carpenter with a passion for "Jaws," mentioned a destroyed element that no longer remains and expressed hope that the film will inspire a brand-new audience.
  • Jaws changed the public's fear of sharks, contributing to a perception that humans should kill sharks, which caused a drastic shark population drop but also promoted lasting conservation awareness.
