The Shark Is Still Working (2007)



A very well-done documentary recalling the well-known stories of the movie's production, touching on some of the lasting impact, and giving a strong impression of how influential the film was to future filmmakers, although the fact that M. Night Shyamalamadingdong is one of the directors they keep getting input from lessens both the documentary, and my opinion of Jaws overall. What a douche, I hate that guy.

Narrated by Roy Scheider, it's nice to hear ol' Brody again, even though it ends with an "in loving memory of" the man who just spent an hour and a half talking to you. Man, there sure are a lot of dead people who went into making that movie.

Not nearly as insightful and detailed as the Jaws Log, still a nicely put together broad-stroke review of the production and impact of the film. Three and a half stars!

It's true. For a while, the whole world was the scene with all the fisherman going out trying to dynamite sharks, with devastating effects. One can only hope that ultimately the resulting preservation efforts helped to undo some of the damage and bring greater knowledge and understanding.

I never much cared about sharks and I still don't, I just think it's a spectacular, almost perfect movie.
