Today, we\u2019re watching a video about what makes Steven Spielberg\u2019s Jaws a horror film<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/><strong>Steven Spielberg<\/strong>\u2018s <em><strong>Jaws<\/strong> <\/em>is one of those films that exists at the intersection of a couple of different genres. According to IMDb, it\u2019s a thriller. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, it\u2019s an action-adventure film. And according to a good group of folks with a healthy fear of the sea, it\u2019s a horror film. <\/p>\n<p>I am, like the creator of today\u2019s video essay, not all that interested in sussing out any given film\u2019s absolute, unequivocal genre. Films can play in lots of different sandboxes. And setting aside petty semantic squabbling allows for far more interesting questions. So, instead of the very boring and subjective \u201c<em>is <\/em>this a horror film?\u201d, we get the far richer and intriguing \u201c<em>why <\/em>is this a horror film?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And when you get down to it, what makes <em>Jaws <\/em>horrifying is deliciously uncanny. Is the shark terrifying because it is plausible or because it eeks over into exaggeration? Is the shark scary because, per Spielberg, it has no agenda other than \u201ceat everything\u201d? Or do its obsessively discussed allegorical rumblings give away its debt to genre film? <\/p>\n<p>And then, perhaps the crunchiest question of all: if <em>Jaws <\/em>is indeed a creature feature, how do we reconcile the fact that this film is famous for actually <em>not <\/em>showing us the shark? That this, perhaps, is what elevates <em>Jaws <\/em>from a shark movie to a monster movie: that by evading our gaze and staying out of sight, what lurks under the waves becomes our worst nightmare. <\/p>\n<p>The video essay below tackles all of these questions and then some, with the express purpose of fleshing out what it is, exactly, that makes people think of <em>Jaws <\/em>as a horror film. It is a thoughtful and nuanced <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to a subject that often inspires division: that <em>Jaws<\/em>\u2018 horror status persists not in spite, but in tandem, to its more optimistic qualities.<\/p>\n<p id=\"block-b5ac606c-b74a-4cab-a663-701ec85c7024\">Watch \u201c<strong>Jaws: When Seeing Isn\u2019t Believing<\/strong>\u201c:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jaws: When Seeing isn&#039;t Believing\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tWnLq4UOxuE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"block-da44f2c0-01e5-442d-b111-649cfba1b5a9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This video is by <strong>Grace Lee<\/strong>.
