128 - That Jaws Still Holds Up
from The Art of Noticing · host Johnny B. Truant
Today I noticed that the 1978 movie Jaws, totally holds up despite being 45 years old. It’s still fresh and gripping today, and for the most part hasn’t become dated (or lost its intensity) over time.The creative lesson I took from this Noticing is that truly iconic creative works are timeless. Stories that tap into primal human experiences like fear, courage and nature's power have resonance that keeps them engaging for new audiences across generations.WANT MORE?Members at johnnybtruant.substack.com get extra episodes of the podcast, behind-the-scenes peeks, and access to my members-only One-Drink Book Club podcast (listen to a sample episode here) … all for the price of a fancy coffee.
