I am heartwarmed you worry about you. That is fine, but please don't ignore yourself.So Jaws was art and not a shock? Listen, you are entitled to your opinion.
There's character development? Maybe you should watch some better films to understand where the Jaw sits on the scale. You are not the one who loved the Gladiator? No?
Follow Ups:
I understand why people like Gladiator - I don't. I view oit more as an action movie and even there it wasn't particularly good.There are people out there who have reviewed tens of thousands of movies who have JAWS in their top 100. People who have seen EVERY notable foreign film on the planet who stoill have JAWS and possibly 4 -5 other Spielberg films in their top 100 and not some of those notable foreign films.
I don't give a rat's bottom whether you hate Jaws or not, or whether someone liked Gladiator or not. I think most people who liked Gladiator though would recognize that Jaws is a superior film.
Your idea of character development tell me isn't Guido...other than that he has no ideas left and is horny is there anything else you can tell me about him? no YOU CAN"T because there was nothing to tell. He was a miserable talentless horny prick - that sums him up.
You can't admit that film is subjective can you? You are desperately attempting to convince people that film is objective and you somehow have more insight on it than every other person on this planet. Now I know why you love 81/2 you have as gigantic an ego as Fellini.
Jaws wasn't a character analysis. They were realised characters based off what audiences would go in armed with as a knowledge base.Not every film must include self introspection and the discovery of the meaning of life. I'd really rather them not try as Socrates covered the ground.
