What is so significant about Jaws?
- Jaws was so significant because it was released nationwide rather than in cinemas at different times, and it was the highest earning movie in history, before Star Wars, at $260,000,000, and it was also the first film to ever exceed $100,000,000. Unfortunately, it also changed the way people looked at sharks, and so a lot of people are now scared of them, and so whenever there is a shark attack, people hunt and kill them.
Outline the characteristics of a blockbuster.
- A blockbuster must have a simple storyline that will appeal to everyone, there must be simple characters with simple motivations. It must be marketed on their looks, rather than the dialogue and substance, and it must be marketed as a brand, franchising toys and clothes.
