What more is there to tell? Exactly as expected, spine tingling from start to end. A true classic from the year I was born.

No le pongo cinco estrellas por el detalle del diseño en la esquina superior derecha, pero no por el diseño en si, sino porque no se corresponde con la foto del producto. Aunque a mi realmente no me importa, y estaba advertido además por otro comentario de otro usuario de que podría llegarme así.La edición en sí es magnífica, con muy buena calidad de imagen y sonido, y los extras son estupendos también. Si no te molesta esa peculiaridad de la portada y quieres tener esta obra maestra como nunca pudimos hacerlo, en casa, sin duda la vas a disfrutar.

Ich kann mich noch gut erinnern wie ich diesen Film zum ersten Mal gesehen habe. Es war ein Sonntagnachmittag, wir waren zu Besuch bei Verwandten und mein Onkel legte eine "Raubkopie" vom "Weißen Hai" im Videorecorder ein. Wir Kinder saßen wie gebannt um den Bildschirm und verfolgten die Jagd nach dem Weißen Hai mit großen Augen und unter höchster Anspannung. Ich kann mich noch erinnern, dass mir immer ein Schauer über den Rücken jagte, wenn die Filmmusik einsetzte - ihr wisst schon welche ich meine!Der Film und die dazugehörige Musik dürften eigentlich jedem bekannt sein, auch heute noch dürfte STEVEN SPIELBERG'S Meisterwerk jedem geläufig sein. "Der weiße Hai" zählt bis heute zu den besten Thrillern und läutete einen richtigen Boom von "Tier-Horror" ein. Folglich mussten auch Alligatoren, Schlangen, Ameisen, Piranhas, Barrakudas oder sogar Bienen als Film-Bösewichte herhalten.Auch die Ära der Hollywood-Blockbuster wurde vom weißen Hai eingeleitet, in vielen Belangen war STEVEN SPIELBERG'S Thriller wegweisend. Den fast schon lächerlichen Produktionskosten von 7 Millionen $, steht ein Betrag von 470 Millionen $ gegenüber, den der Film an den Kinokassen einspielte.JOHN WILLIAMS bekam 1976 den Oscar für die beste Filmmusik, insgesamt wurde er dreimal ausgezeichnet, zusätzlich noch für den Ton und den Schnitt! "Beste Regie" und "Bester Film" ging damals an "Einer flog übers Kuckucksnest", auch keine ganz schlechte Wahl!Technisch war das im Jahr 1975 ein Meilenstein, in Sachen Dramaturgie gilt er bis heute als ein Meisterwerk und diente fortan als Blaupause für viele Hollywood-Blockbuster.Autor PETER BENCHLEY nahm eine Serie von Haifisch-Attacken als Grundlage für seinen Roman, die sich 1916 in New Jersey zugetragen hatte. Auch wenn es sich damals um verschiedene Haie handelte, war er fortan von der Idee eines ortstreuen und menschenmordenden Killerhais besessen. Als er dann in den 60ern ein Interview mit dem Hai-Jäger FRANK MUNDUS führte, der gerade einen zwei Tonnen schweren "Weißen Hai" mit seiner Harpune erlegte, nahm die Geschichte Form an.Die "Orca" aus dem Film, soll ein identischer Nachbau von MUNDUS' Boot "Crickett II" sein. 1970 fand BENCHLEY dann einen Verleger, der seinen Roman veröffentlichte.Der Film hält sich nicht immer an die Romanvorlage, so überlebt beispielsweise HOOPER (Richard Dreyfus) den Angriff im Unterwasserkäfig nicht, und QUINT (Robert Shaw) wird nicht vom Hai gefressen. Im Roman verheddert sich sein Bein und er wird über Bord gezogen und ertrinkt. Auch tötet BRODY (Roy Scheider) den Hai nicht, im Roman verendet das Tier wegen der Verletzungen durch die Harpunen, kurz bevor es BRODY fressen kann.Im Buch stammt BRODY aus AMITY, während seine Frau ELLEN (Lorraine Gary) aus einer reichen Familie vom Festland stammt. Die unterschiedliche Herkunft des Ehepaares BRODY sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Handlung des Buches. Auch hatte die Familie BRODY im Buch 3 Kinder, nicht zwei wie im Film.Im Buch kannte ELLEN den Ozeanographen HOOPER noch von früher, als sie mit dessen Bruder liiert war.Ich könnte jetzt so weiter machen, da wurde doch einiges abgeändert oder komplett weggelassen.Man kann also durchaus sagen, dass sich der Film nur entfernt am Originalroman orientiert, er wurde ordentlich zurecht gestutzt und kinogerecht aufbereitet. Am sensationellen Ergebnis ändert das allerdings nichts, vielleicht wurde der Film gerade deshalb ein so großer Erfolg, denn nicht immer können Romanvorlagen überzeugend in bewegte Bilder umgesetzt werden.Es würde sich daher eventuell anbieten den Originalroman von PETER BENCHLEY zu lesen - ist wirklich sehr interessant!Eigentlich muss man zum Inhalt nicht wirklich etwas schreiben, ich denke, dass jeder diesen Film schon einmal gesehen hat. Deshalb gehe ich auch nur kurz darauf ein, alles andere wäre wohl Zeitverschwendung.Im Badeort AMITY wird eine Schwimmerin durch einen Hai getötet, worauf Sheriff BRODY auf die Schließung des Strandes besteht. Die Stadtverwaltung ist aber dagegen, da sie befürchtet, dass eine Schließung der anstehende Badesaison schaden könnte.Als ein weiterer Junge getötet wird, veranstaltet dessen Mutter ein Medienspektakel und lobt eine Prämie von 3000 § für die Tötung des Hais aus. Darauf wird eine regelrechte Hetzjagd auf den Hai ausgelöst, kurz darauf wird der "angebliche Killer" von einem Jäger präsentiert.Der Ozeanograph HOOPER bezweifelt aber, dass es sich dabei um den gesuchten Menschenfresser handelt und deshalb schneiden er und BRODY den Kadaver auf um eventuell Leichenteile des Jungen zu finden.Als klar wird, dass es sich bei dem Tier nicht um den Killer-Hai handelt, engagiert der Stadtrat den Hai-Jäger QUINT um dem Spuk eine Ende zu machen. Gemeinsam mit HOOPER und BRODY begibt er sich auf die Jagd nach dem "Weißen Hai" ......Mein Fazit: "Der weiße Hai" zählt bis heute zu den spannendsten Filmen aller Zeiten. Gekonnt zieht STEVEN SPIELBERG alle Register um die Jagd nach einem Killer-Hai in nervenaufreibende Bilder zu verwandeln. Technisch war der Film 1975 einfach unglaublich, auch heute noch sieht der "Große Weiße" sehr real aus. Auch das Zusammenspiel zwischen der Musik und den Bildern ist einfach genial, ein Großteil der Spannung und des Nervenkitzels ist definitiv der Filmmusik von JOHN WILLIAMS zu verdanken - einfach großartig!Für Freunde von nervenaufreibenden Thrillern oder Tier-Horror ist dieser Film absolut zu empfehlen. Für mich ein Meilenstein der Filmgeschichte, einfach genial - den Film sollte man wirklich gesehen haben!

Clásico de los 70, quizás unas de las películas top 100 de la historia del cine. Y una de las mejores de su director.Imagen y sonido muy buenos para ser del año que es, con las dos versiones en las voces. La que se estrenó en cine y el doblaje nuevo en su remasterizado ( personalmente prefiero la antigua). Viene con bastante extras y documentales del como se hizo y todo los problemas que tuvieron durante el rodaje. Viene en castellano, aún siendo una carátula o versión en italiano. Recomendado al 100 x 100.

YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BETTER MEDIUM..., 2 Sep 2012JAWS THE BLU RAY"What we have here is a perfect movie, all it does is entertain, terrify adults and give little kids nightmares all night long..."Like most people from my generation, I have a strange but very personal history with this movie. When it first came out I was not able to see it, I think I was thought to be too young. (The Poster did after all warn that this movie might be a bit too intense for little kids). My older brother saw it when it first came out and being a kid who lived inside his own head most of the time; he was able to remember every single line in the movie.I come from the Bogside in Derry of Northern Ireland and I had absolutely no idea what a shark was, no concept at all - my brother Paddy, told me it was like a goldfish that was grey, that it was about the size of a bus and that it had rows of teeth the size of steak knives, oh yeah, and it also could bite a man clear in half below the waist - Yikes!.One Halloween's night, a very stormy night if I recall correctly, in a friend's house, we sat, three friends and I, (all of us thought too young to see the film), under the kitchen table in the dark with a candle, and line by line, doing incredibly accurate impersonations of all the characters, the sound effects, the music, the screams from the onlooking bathers as people were eaten alive, my bother created out of the darkness of our overactive imaginations the entire 2hour plus movie and we were rooted to the spot and terrified beyond belief for every minute of that tale. When the shark was about to attack my brother did the two note music and that just built the tension even more than his vivid depictions of the mayhem off Amity.When I finally saw the movie for the first time it was as a double bill with Jaws 2, - How lucky was I!!! - (which I think is still a pretty decent sequel but could have been better if Spielberg had a hand in it).Needless to say, Jaws blew me out of my seat and when I had my first glimpse of what a grey goldfish the size of a bus with knives for teeth looked like up close on the big screen I told myself never ever to set foot in the ocean.When Ben Gardener made his unexpected appearance from the jagged hole, I shot clear out of my seat as my heart jumped right out of my shrieking lungs; the timing, o boy, the timing of that appearance was sheer brilliance and from that moment on, whenever there was water on screen, even a slither of it, I was all bunched up in tension with my eyes darting all over just to make sure that monster was not about to suddenly pop from out of the screen to chomp on me.As a kid from a slum, when I first saw the Chief's car driving along the beach road at the beginning of the movie I turned to my friend watching with me and told him that one day I would get out of the ghetto and live in a place just like Amity Island and strangely enough, I happen to live now in the very place where the underwater shots of the real shark attacking the cage was shot - Port Lincoln South Australia - a place that looks quite a lot like ole Amity - Weird or what, right?I loved the movie and still consider it to be one of the most perfect movies ever made, great, mind blowing opening, and great pace, characters you care about, funny, frightening, and suspenseful with a great ending that makes you want to jump up and down on your chair and cheer.I later read the novel in school, the version without the steamy affair between Hooper and Ellen Brody, and I loved that too. I went on to read Jaws 2 by Hank Searle and that was even better than the sequel movie, (I recommend it).Over the years I have watched Jaws a number of times in different mediums, the last time being the DVD 2 Disc Edition and I have to say it is still one of my favourite films.I have ordered it on Blu Ray and although it has still to arrive, I know it will be money well spent because Spielberg has had a hand in the restoration and if there is anything evident about this man when it comes to movies it is he is a perfectionist so I know I am going to have my socks blown off when I finally get to see my favourite film in HD for the first time.I am already planning a Jaws fest with my eldest daughter, Storm, who also loves Jaws, she has yet to see Jaws 2, and so it is going to be great to watch the first one on Blu Ray and the second one on DVD. I have also ordered the Jaws Novels, 1 & 2, and the Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb; maybe I should try and get a poster too!I would like to say thank-you to all the people involved in the making of this movie and to those responsible for bringing it on to Blu Ray because even when we first watched it on video and DVD we all knew the makers were going to need a bigger boat to do this movie justice.There I got in the best line in the movie.Great novel, great story, great actors, Roy, Richard & Robert, great screenplay, great cinematography, and brilliant directing from a guy young enough not to know the difference between courage and stupidity.Can't wait to get back in the water...UPDATE...Just received the blu ray and watched it immediately and I suppose the question on everyone's lips is does this transfer deserve me updating from the 30th Anniversary 2 Disc DVD Edition and the answer is YES-INDEEDYDOODY, YOU CAN BET YOUR GRANDPA'S BACK MOLARS AND YOUR GRANDMA'S PRETTY GREY HAIR - That is if he still has them and she isn't as bald and wispy as a China Man's chin -The images are crisp on this baby now, I noticed things I had never noticed before and I loved that fact, the colours are glorious, the night time water shots are stunning, the blue skies oh so blue, the aqua waters crystal, the sheen of sweat on skin so clear you can see the pores on Chief Brody forehead, all of it wonderfully upgraded. This movie looks even better than it did when it first screened, and let's not forget, this is a 36 year old movie we are talking about. The underwater shots of the shark are especially good and one has to include the eeriness of the SS Indianapolis scene with the whales singing to each other in the background; which brings me to the sound, oh dear me, the sound, when that shark is on its way and the music tells you so, the sound in 7.1 is spine tingling, the hairs on your neck stand up, absolutely brilliant.And as for the extras, well, we still get all the extras from the 30th Anniversary Edition, including the great Making Of, which ran at 1 hour and 40 minutes and I thought when I first saw that that it was brilliant, I loved all the behind the scenes information; however, the Blu Ray goes even further with another feature length doco called The Shark is Still Working. I thought it would be just more rehash from The Making Of; but oh how wrong I was - this doco alone is worth the upgrade, we get to see a lot more behind the scenes as well as getting to hear some current directors talk about how much of an impact this movie made on them and their careers; wonderful stuff.So, as good as the DVD was; this Blu Ray treatment blows the DVD clear out of the water, it is most definitely worth the upgrade, it will be the best $20 you will ever spend on a movie and it is a movie that you can now introduce to the younger generation and do it some justice this time round.Buy it, buy it now, tell all your friends to buy it, if you haven't got the money, go rob a bank, take hostages at gunpoint, do whatever you must do to own this amazing movie in this format; even go tell that old git down the road none of us can stand to go out and buy himself a copy today."Show me the way to go home; I'm tired and I want to go to bed; well, I had a little drink about an hour ago and it's gone right to my head, no matter where I roam, through land or sea or foam; you will always hear me singing a song; show me the way to go home..."Jaws has just arrived.Finally, she's home!Shalom

I've broken a golden rule with myself as I vowed never to buy a Blu-ray at its full price if I'd already owned the film on a multitude of different formats before (VHS , Laserdisc , DVD) , but some films are just worth paying that extra for and I honestly couldn't wait for the price to drop as this is one of my all time favourite films.Its going to be hard not to quote lines from the film or make any corny puns writing this review , so will do my best not too.After the disappointing picture quality of Spielberg's Jurassic Park box set on Blu-ray , I was more than a little wary of this transfer , but I'm pleased to say that all is excellent with Jaws.The 7.1 remastering is just incredible through my AV receiver! It was like being sat in the middle of a 94 piece orchestra and has now topped the best sound on any of my Blu-rays.The scene where the shark attacks the guy in the estuary is a good example of a subtle change in sound. There's a nice deep bass thud through the subwoofer when he is pulled underwater from his upturned boat , and although its a tiny tweak to the sound , it really makes all the difference and now that scene appears more violent than it already was.The night time attack on the Orca has a similar effect of making a scene more potent , with more bass thudding punch to the sound coming from every direction around your front room when the shark repeatedly hits the boat , and by NO means is the new sound overpowering to these scenes , its just the right touch.The picture restoration is just fantastic , although I nearly spat my drink out at one point ! Not through being made to jump at a scene but at one stage , I thought Mr Lucas had broken into the editing lounge with his trusty laptop and tweaked about with Spielberg's masterpiece... Thankfully , I wasn't in for a world of hurt , pain and misery , and when I compared the DVD to this Blu-ray , it was more down to the new colour restoration and new clarity that I was unused to with this film. The scene in question is with the two shooting stars , which now appear to have more of a reddish hue making them look more vibrant , and not down to Mr Lucas's destroy, destroy , destroy mentality... PHEW !Some excellent documentaries with this Blu-ray which is around 4 hours worth , some of which have been transferred straight from the Laserdisc and DVD with a couple of new ones. Notably , The Shark is Still Working documentary , which is a brilliant addition to the extras , but all the features are worth watching again and again.It just doesn't matter how many times I see the deleted scene of Quint in the music shop , it cracks me up every time and its a shame that actually got cut from the film.There's also a short documentary on the restoration process , which Mr Lucas might find helpful as to what is appropriate and WHAT ISN'T ! Can't help but think that Spielberg is sending a subtle message to Mr Lucas in one of his interviews by saying that 'less is more' and if he had the technology of CGI back when he was filming Jaws , it wouldn't be as good !I do know some people who spend vast sums of money on the latest TV to ensure they're getting the best quality picture , but then still watch a film with the sound through their TV speakers , with the attitude of "so long as I can hear it , it doesn't matter" and just don't realise what a dramatic impact or difference a good sound setup can do to any film and can cost as little as £50 for a basic system.Anything is better than standard TV speakers and really are only getting half of the whole Blu-ray experience without a good home cinema system.For me , and this is a personal preference , sound is the most important element that I look for when upgrading a film to Blu-ray , picture quality a very close second and the amount of extras comes third.This Blu-ray ticks all the right boxes and more and with the new picture and sound it really feels like your watching this film for the very first time , which I know sounds a little cliché , but just can't recommend this Blu-ray highly enough.All in all I'm ecstatic with this upgrade and hope that the Blu-ray box set of Indiana Jones due out next month , is as good in quality as this JAWSome film... Sorry , couldn't resist.
