New Showbiz Analysis

This documentary serves as a historical record of the technical and logistical production of the 1975 film Jaws. Focusing on the mechanics of filmmaking and the history of cinema, it lacks contemporary social commentary or character-driven identity politics. The production adheres to a traditional framework of preserving cinematic history. It prioritizes the legacy of a foundational Western film over disrupting social hierarchies or including diverse perspectives. As a result, the film reflects the historical realities of the 1970s film industry. It does not aim to challenge social norms or provide characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity within its retrospective narrative.
