I wish to share my amazement for this
blockbuster, within the next several pages of this web site. It’s an honor
to have personally met the majority of the cast and crew, seen
firsthand the filming locations, and taken part as a “Jaws Junkie”
fanatic, the lore and history that is the film “JAWS”. From the
phenomenal books by Carl Gottlieb and Judith Blake that recounted
long before any internet the filming of the movie, to the
E-Entertainment “E True Hollywood Story” and Laurent Bouzereau’s
unbelievable collection and documentation of how the movie was made,
to Erik Hollander’s full 30+ year summery of the legacy and impact
of the story that is “JAWS”, the film continues to grow bigger than
it ever has been. Steven Spielberg ensured the believability still
to this day by virtue of his guts and determination while such a
young director, but it was the magic of Mr. Peter Benchley that
first brought us to Amity. I have lived this film, and this film
truly lives in me. I love watching it, talking like it, visiting it,
chatting about it, and as you will soon see over the next few pages,
being a fan of it.
Indeed, here’s the head and the tail,
and the whole damn tribute through my eyes. As a kid of 11 years old
back in 1975, and as a kid still today. Please enjoy my tribute on
this website. It’s not the biggest or the best (you can visit my
links page to find those), but what I do share equally with those
other very amazing sites, is the passion and love for everything
that took place back on Amity Island so long ago and still lives on
today. “Where we going?” “Swimming……”
