Time for my daily thoughts about how Jaws is rife with potential for an anti imperialist anti capitalist analysis
#TAGS RANT INCOMING:
#the 2 shark incidents which have the most emotional impact are: the main plot w Bruce n the Boys AND quint in the Indianapolis incident
#the sharks in these stories are secondary to the human conflict that propelled the story forward
#1: a mayor’s greed and desire for money and 2: a country’s greed and desire for domination.
#the sharks are vessels that convey the powerlessness that the individual feels in the face of structural and societal violence
#i think there’s also an interesting parallel there. shark attacks are incidental -
#they have no desire to eat humans but sometimes mistake them for a food source
#meanwhile the death of Alex kintner- which Mrs. kintner blames on Brody - was also not intentional
#and was caused by Brody initially mistaking the mayor and the medical examiner’s coercion as somewhat genuine/truthful
#humans and sharks both have the capacity to do harm
#but it’s the environment around them that should be examined when this harm is done
#don’t even get me started on quint’s ptsd and ‘I’ll never wear a life jacket again’ and perpetuating cycles of violence
#ummm teehee anyways
#jaws 1975
#I’m no deep analytic writer and I in fact struggle with themes and interpretation so this may all seem pretty surface level but anyways
#i just wanted to yap
