#the sharks are vessels that convey the powerlessness that the individual feels in the face of structural and societal violence

Time for my daily thoughts about how Jaws is rife with potential for an anti imperialist anti capitalist analysis
#TAGS RANT INCOMING:
#the 2 shark incidents which have the most emotional impact are: the main plot w Bruce n the Boys AND quint in the Indianapolis incident
#the sharks in these stories are secondary to the human conflict that propelled the story forward
#1: a mayor’s greed and desire for money and 2: a country’s greed and desire for domination.
#the sharks are vessels that convey the powerlessness that the individual feels in the face of structural and societal violence
#i think there’s also an interesting parallel there. shark attacks are incidental -
#they have no desire to eat humans but sometimes mistake them for a food source
#meanwhile the death of Alex kintner- which Mrs. kintner blames on Brody - was also not intentional
#and was caused by Brody initially mistaking the mayor and the medical examiner’s coercion as somewhat genuine/truthful
#humans and sharks both have the capacity to do harm
#but it’s the environment around them that should be examined when this harm is done
#don’t even get me started on quint’s ptsd and ‘I’ll never wear a life jacket again’ and perpetuating cycles of violence
#ummm teehee anyways
#jaws 1975
#I’m no deep analytic writer and I in fact struggle with themes and interpretation so this may all seem pretty surface level but anyways
#i just wanted to yap
