Several films contain as many emblem scene as sea teeth. From the scene of her opening, where the young woman was attacked by an invisible creature, naked after her explosive final order, where police chief Martin Brod (Roy Shader) triumphs in a spectacular manner,Sea teeth Offers for 124 minutes a steady cinematic happiness – and parallel to the summer blockbuster.
And one of the most analyzed scenes in the film can also be the simplest. After 90 minutes after Karnak, chaos and discerning music, it is enough to take a bath in the ocean, Steven Spielberg decides to end the action to be the quietest and most powerful moment of the film: absolutely important for 4 minutes …
Quint’s monologue
During this dramatic break, Quint tells how it survived the sink of USS Indianapolis, an incident inspired by a real fact, and added a very real nightmare dimension to the last action of the film.
On this stage, Brod, Oceanographer Matthew Hooper (Richard Dreyfus) and Shark Hunter Sam Quint (Robert Show) exchanged anecdotes on their various scars. The Quint then began a monologue about the experience of USS Indianapolis, a vessel that sank during World War II. He tells us how he met him for five days, fought against hunger and frequent shark attacks before the plane was saved.
His speech, rich in detail, perfectly reflects the approach of simplicity Steven Spielberg : The sequence is terrible, though sharks are only verbally visible, not visually.
A terrible truth behind the quint’s history
USS Indianapolis was a real ship that flowed in July 1945, after the Sea of the Philippines Sea after the secret mission: its purpose was to supply uranium cargo, which was enriched in the island of Tinian, northwest of the Pacific, to facilitate the construction of a “little boy”, which is designed for several weeks. At the same time, two Japanese torpedo will be affected and flows in 12 minutes. Due to the absence of cancers and jackets of life, the survivors were forced to try their luck at the sea. The immediate results that left nearly 900 people have led to the greatest loss of human life due to shark attacks in human history.
Quint’s monologue receives the dark reality of the incident. Even if some details of its speech are romanticized for the dramatic effect, much of it is historically loyal, giving it a successful tribute to this real tragedy.
When history inspires fantasy: guaranteed cold weather
If the history of Indianapolis previously Sea teeth It was no secret, only after the publication of the film in 1975 the public learned about it. The origin of the speech comes from the Pulitzer Prize from the playwright winner Howard Saakler and is not the author of the credit scenario. Saakler wanted to explain the blind hatred of Quint for sharks and offered the idea of a disaster survival. Spielberg received his suggestion, but after Saacler provided him with only one page of the dialogue, it was the development of another incomprehensible scenario, John Millius. He obviously received this work very seriously, after Steven Spielberg Despite the admiration of his work: ”This is a movie in the movie“Said the director in the backpack. Finally, it was Robert Show, who received the last word, copying much of Millius’ contribution to the final version of the film.
Listen to Spielberg (and others) to talk below:
However, the character exaggerates the facts, but during his word: the most obvious example is his intuitive, according to which sharks were responsible after the ship’s ship. If many have stopped shark attacks (potentially up to 150), their numbers are relatively lower than the victim of exhibition or dehydration. But it was probably a deliberate mistake aimed at enhancing Quint’s motivation. Other details, for example, his assertion that the distress signal has not been sent, is not inaccurate, or its rescue date (June 29, and the real Indianapolis sinking a month later) – several names.
Everything says that Quint is not actual, but a few minutes on the screen, such a difficult event needs to be changed. And even with this demand, it is impressive to note how correct its content is.
As it may be, the scene is one of the most memorable for all these reasons, except in the way the quintess dominates the room with the attitude of a semi -buried human being under its demons, and the hoop silently fixing it with pure horrors: brilliant. From the angle of his true presenter, he is also a masterpiece in itself.
Currently sea teeth are considered on Mycanal.
