Nothing can top Jaws. Also the scariest movie of all time. It's the reason why most sharks are endangered now. You know why? Because people we're scared.

Good one, spielbergo

Anyone have the story about the guy who was in Nepal or Tibet and went into a roadside shop where the locals were watching Jaws in english and being scared by it even though they have never and will never see a real shark and didn't understand the words?

I wasn't around when Jaws came out, but did people really not fear sharks before that movie? I've still never seen it but you've gotta be next-level retarded to not be afraid of sharks

Most species of shark were not endangered before that movie. People shat themselves when Jaws came out back then.

Shark attacks were of course reported in the news but Jaws brought it into the public consciousness all at once.

Here it is straight from the AMA fellow redditor :^)

In 2007, I was traveling in Tibet and walked into a small teahouse in the middle of nowhere. The proprietor didn't speak Mandarin and neither did any of the patrons, so I ordered by gesturing.

Jaws was on TV, horribly subtitled in big white Chinese characters and dubbed in Mandarin. Everyone was watching. So I stuck around and watched, too.

Here's the crazy thing: the TV sucked, the image was obscured, the patrons couldn't understand the dialogue. And yet they were still scared of the shark. Tibet is a high-altitude desert, nowhere near the ocean. But man, there was one lady freaking out that the shark was going to eat Brody's kid.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but honestly, that viewing of Jaws is one of the most memorable experiences of my life. To this day, I refer to the "Tibet Test" when I think about filmmaking. Is this movie still comprehensible after bad dubbing, shitty subtitles, a crappy TV, and an audience who doesn't understand the context?

Jaws is a masterpiece of visual storytelling, and I can prove it because I saw some Tibetans scared of the shark.

Peter Benchley said he later regretted his portrayal of great white sharks and spent a lot of time speaking out about conservation.

I saw it in a Jaws thread here. Didn't even know where it came from. Thanks for informing me of it's origin.
