JAWS (1975) : Why It Still Terrifies Us

In Episode 2 of Daska Discusses, I dive into Steven Spielberg’s Jaws — the film that turned the ocean from a place of freedom into a place of fear. I reflect on my own memory of watching it for the first time, break down some of its most iconic scenes — from the opening beach attack to Quint’s haunting monologue — and explore why the film still works decades later. More than just a shark movie, Jaws remains a masterclass in suspense, character, and cinematic storytelling.
