#jaws 1975

[requinoesis]

This is a tribute to Peter Benchley, not the movie Jaws (1975)

The author of 'Jaws' dedicated the rest of his life to reversing the unexpected negative impact his book had on the image of sharks.

Not only were sharks supposedly killed to create props for the movie, but 'Jaws' ended up awakening a bloody sea of ignorance in people at the time, who, haunted by an irrational fear and lack of understanding about marine predators, felt motivated to take to their boats and kill thousands of great white sharks in the most feared ways.

Such as the promotion of great white shark hunting championships that targeted the biggest ones, which were mostly pregnant females who, after being displayed as a trophy, had their jaws ripped off and their bodies discarded in the garbage.

Fear spread widely to all shark species, creating a lack of sensitivity that made it convenient to exterminate entire shark populations around the world that for a long time remained invisible to people's perception.

And this has continued to resonate for a long time with the entertainment media perpetuating the portrayal of sharks as monsters, newspapers favoring sensationalism about shark incidents, governments promoting shark culls, the advance of the unregulated predatory fishing industry, scientists not being supported in their studies of marine predators, the destruction of their natural habitats and the pollution of the oceans.

For thousands of years, sharks have taken care of the health of our oceans, older than the dinosaurs or the first trees, they have gone through great mass extinctions, they have been worshipped and respected as gods and guardians by oceanic peoples and now we demonize them in our media and exterminate them by the millions every year, who is the real monster?

We are shark-eaters.

I hope you can also hear what Peter Benchley himself had to say about all this:

I finally finished this artwork! Hope you like it. At some point I will adapt it for my little Redbubble store.🛍️

do jaws fans these days even know that for about a half a year, the matt hooper wiki page referred to him as a “young homosexual oceanographer”. do jaws fans these days even know that i got banned temporarily from fandom wiki for “excessive vandalism” while trying to maintain this legacy. do you guys even know that “matthoopergay” is in reference to matt hooper being a young homosexual oceanographer. this is our history & we cannot allow it to disappear to the steady march of time.

Spielberg was 26 when he made Jaws. He should have been in the club, but thank god he wasn't.

I was inspired to sketch this, of course my civilized sharks have done their historical atonement by stereotyping humans in their pop culture hehe💀

I will finalize this at some point. But I have doubts.🦈

So glad Steven Spielberg finally released the thumbnail art for the original ending for Jaws, which they had to cut because sunsets don't occur in Massachusetts,

#in my mind they all ran off into the sunset holding hands #sorry these are really fun to make #just learning that #hmmmm does steveyboy get a main tag #i think so #steven spielberg #matt hooper #martin brody #captain quint #brody #hooper #quint #jaws #jaws 1975
