Analyzing the Symbolism in “Jaws”
For
this week’s assignment, students were supposed to analyze the hidden symbolisms
in the classic movie “Jaws”, directed by Steven Spielberg. Interestingly, I
haven’t watched that movie before, as I usually avoid watching scary movies. My
husband always complains that we never watch the type of move he likes (bloody,
scary, and overall unpleasant, if I might say), so I figured this would be a
perfect opportunity to complete the assignment and make my husband happy at the
same time.
I
must say that I did not like the movie. I was tense and anxious the whole time,
just waiting to be scared. However, since I was watching the movie for the sole
purpose of finding hidden symbols and understand the true meaning of some
elements, I watched it with different eyes that I would use to watch a movie
for leisure purposes.
Although
I initially thought the movie was about a killing shark, I found enough
material explaining that the movie can be compared to the World War II.
Watching the movie already expecting such comparison allowed me to easily find
it. The movie treats the shark as an enemy that attacks a nation on its own
land, which can be compared to the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese.
Another comparison is regarding the enemy that attacks from the water, like the
shark or the Japanese submarines. In other words, although the shark in the
movie can signify only a man-eating beast, it also signifies a cruel enemy that
will attack without fear of consequences. In the end, as the shark is blown to
pieces, it’s inevitable to compare the scene to the explosion of the nuclear
bomb in Hiroshima.
Turning “Jaws” into a Theatrical Staging
If
I was to develop a theatrical staging of Jaws, it would definitely be a drama.
In fact, I would add as many WWII references as possible, without being as
subtle as the movie. My play would have no fish at all, and the shark would just
be a symbolism referring to the enemy, which would be a Japan during the war.
The scenario would be a small coastal town in the United States during the
Second World War. The plot of the play would be about the struggles of a small
town as the population tries to stay hopeful while a vicious enemy attacks.
ReplyDeleteThe history of finger biometry was initiated in the late nineteenth century by scientist Francis Galton. Since then, it has grown tremendously thanks to a large team of geneticists and biologists. In 1880, Henry Faulds made the argument for the amount of fingerprint RC (Ridge Count) to assess the degree of fingerprint dependence on the genes.
The scientists claim that fingerprints are formed under the influence of the genetic system of the fetus inherited and the impact of the environment through the vascular system and the nervous system located between the dermis and the expression the cover. Some of these effects are oxygen supply, nerve formation, the distribution of sweat glands, the development of epithelial cells. Interestingly, although there is a common genetic system Hereditary but fingerprints on the ten fingers of each individual individual. In 1868 the scholar Roberts pointed out that each finger had a different micro-growth environment; In addition, the thumb and index finger suffers from some additional environmental effects. So fingerprints on the top ten fingers of a different individual. The twin brothers (sisters) with fingerprint eggs are quite similar but still can distinguish fingerprints of each person. This is because although they have the same genetic system and share the same developmental environment in the womb, but because of their different position in the womb, their micro environment is different and therefore has different fingerprints. together.
