Jaws<\/em><\/a>, you likely know that the mechanical shark that was used in the movie is nicknamed Bruce. Apparently, it was named after Spielberg\u2019s lawyer, and the name just stuck.<\/p>\nWell, like everything else I\u2019ve mentioned so far, I never really found Bruce scary. I will say that the best moments of the film were always the ones where you didn\u2019t<\/em> see him, as just imagining him was scary enough. When he did eventually emerge from the ocean, he certainly made his presence felt.<\/p>\nThat said, Bruce was always the weakest aspect of the film whenever I watched Jaws<\/em> on TV. That scene toward the end, where Bruce is literally on top of The Orca, and everybody is sliding toward his mouth, was always just ridiculous to me. That moment (Despite the tragic death of Quint) is still<\/em> the weakest moment of the film for me, big screen notwithstanding.<\/p>\nHowever, all the other moments that I never really loved with Bruce I liked a lot more when seeing it in the theater. Like when Hooper is in the shark cage, and Bruce is coming right for him. That scene is horrifying<\/em> on the big screen! Or when they\u2019re trying to attach the barrels to Bruce, and his enormous fin is dragging them along. All of these moments are more terrifying on the big screen.<\/p>\nIn fact, the best thing about the movie might have just been seeing it with a crowd of people, as I\u2019ve never done that before. It really was something else. So, here\u2019s to another 50 years!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
