The film is brought to life by young director Steven Spielberg, who is previously noted best for films such as: "The Sugarland Express" and "Duel", In which both films came out in the same decade as "Jaws", only a few years apart from one another.
The performances seen in the film are absolutely marvelous, with zealous perfection. As this is a horror film, the leading cast: Roy Schneider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss are without a doubt dramatic, in which this is another reason this cast is phenomenal.
Steven Spielberg's version of Peter Benchleys classic novel is triumphant, dramatic, and ghastly obscene. Viewers will find the film frightening, especially with composer John Williams' title theme for the film with is instrumented brilliantly, with dark and haunting qualities. But also viewers will find "Jaws" humorous and sarcastic.
Costume design and facial features with a pre dominantly male cast is somber and prehistoric. And if the other principal actors had followed what Roy Schnieder did for the film, not shaving their face was a personal preference, probably because they wanted to look as-tough-as hell destroying the S.O.B "Great White Shark".

One of cinemas most highest grossing films of the 20th century, "Jaws" has gone on to prove to be an icon for the cinema for many years to come.
