Recently rewatched Jaws, which used to be one of my favorites. I still like it, but it's not as good as I remembered it being. But god help me, for all the flaws, Quint is easily one of my favorite movie characters of all time.
DAMN IT WHY DID QUINT HAVE TO DIE! WHY NOT BRODY! THAT WAY WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THOSE CRAPPY SEQUELS THAT NEVER LIVED UP THE ORIGINAL. no I am not trying be a troll.
@mbrk6827 that's the 70s for ya. Alot of people looked gay back then. Back then being gay wasn't as full blown as it is now. It wasn't until the 80s when AIDS started to pop in when being Gay caught alot of flak. You could actually hug another man and not be seen as gay back then. You could look a man dead in the eyes and not be gay. You look a man in the face and smile and not be gay. that all changed by the late 80s.
what i love about this little sea chanty is the way John Williams has fun with it at Quints expense later in the film. When the three are dead in the water and out of options and Quint goes to see how badly flooded they are. Williams very cheekily does "farewell and adieu" as Quint stares at all the watered life jackets. Much to say.. "Bye bye now!!" Brilliant!! There are movies, then there is Jaws.
there used to be a hit on "farewell and adieu" on U-tube and that vid showed a guy going on a fishingtrip and doing the farewellsong....now it's gone....anyone got a mirror?
you can download a converter from youtube to ipod, where some programs will let you do the video and audio, where others just lets you do the audio. The program i am using right now is called ImTOO. hope that helps you out!
classic movie with many line's quoted to this day, much like airplane....we had a football player in our class who was huge,and when ever we seen him we use to say.."20footer--25 3 ton's of him" hilarious if you seen him,he never thought it was funny mind{lol}
To think Peter Benchley's first three choices to play the lead characters were:
Paul Newman (Brody); Steve McQueen (Quint) Robert Redford (Hooper). Spielberg's 3 choices: Charlton Heston (Brody) Sterling Hayden or Lee Marvin (Quint) Jeff Bridges (Hooper) I'm glad none of them were chosen, because you can't create the chemistry that Scheider/Shaw/Dreyfuss had on JAWS.
Saw it 8 times when it first came out in the 70`s now my kids have it on DVD (clasic box office smash hit!)always will be a highly rated great movie through all generations!!
imaStonesGirl your not wrong !!! i was born a year after the film was made and must have watched it un-told times and still love it today, talk about generations i tell you what ? you proper spoil your kids ! jaws is legendary !!!!!!!!!!!
I love how the camera lingers on Hooper's face, so we see his response to Quint. It's humor that comes from CHARACTER, which Spielberg was good at portraying earlier in his career.
that is a captain i would not mind serving under.

a classic scene , brought to life by quint.

Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we've received orders for to sail for old England,
But we hope in a short time to see you again.
but it was ' americanized ' for the film.

Americanized for the film, or simply a traditional American variation on a very old song?

@captainbadd A very old BRITISH song. No, it was Americanized.

@captainbadd
That's more likely, I reckon
After all - any cute Mexican would fit the description of a "fair Spanish lady".
Good songs will always get adapted.
Even "God Save the Queen" got new words and turned into a patriotic American song.

This film should be rubbish!
It has a rubber shark that terrorises a town!
But - a superb cast, iconic music (every time someone hears even one repeat of two low notes a semitone apart - THAT'S JAWS)
Classic.
