The scene where they are showing their scars and when Hooper tells about his broken heart scar, followed by:
Chief Brody: [pointing at Quint's tattoo scar] What's that one?
Quint: Oh, that's a tattoo. I got that removed.
Hooper: No, Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Mother! [laughs]
Quint: To Hooper, that's the U.S.S. Indianapolis.
[Hooper's face drops]
And the way his face drops and how this rotates the atmosphere by a 180 degrees is just incredible. How it connects with their situation they're in.

(English is not my native language and it is hard to explain things like this, if it sounds silly, please excuse me.)

You have a better grasp of the English language than me and English is my primary language :lol:

I get what your saying Jaws is full of very powerful scenes just like that one.

I have just read this on IMBD (the forum section):
+++
The scene provides a terrifying edge to Quint's character, and it also clearly adds to Hooper and Sheriff Brody's growing sense of panic. They now see from this point onward that Quint is clearly as much of a danger to them as is the shark.

very true!

Just a section from an article about the 30th anniversary of Jaws

And the shark wasn’t the only problem. Veteran screen legend Robert Shaw apparently didn’t warm to Richard Dreyfuss all that much and so the atmosphere on set was often tense. Add to that the fact that many reports tell of Robert Shaw having a wee bit too much to drink on occasion and you can seen that Spielberg had his hands full. In fact, Shaw originally insisted on having his first stab at the famous ‘Indianapolis’ speech totally drunk. It was a shambles of course – he ended up rambling on about his family apparently – and had to be reshot in the morning, but apparently Shaw was very apologetic about it all the same.

Talking about the ‘Indianapolis’ speech, that was the one section of the script that caused real concern. Neither Bentley, the author of the novel, or Carl Gottlieb, the script-writer on the project could agree on the dialogue, which was a major cause for concern. Ironic it must have been, then, when Robert Shaw delivered his interpretation of the speech and it was exactly what everybody had wanted.

I had heard of Robert Shaws hard drinking so it makes his scenes even better that he could pull himself together to do such an amazing job.

I saw it at the cinema when it was first released!

Must admit, it bored me senseless!

I saw it on its first run - but luckily it was on a double bill with Gregory's Girl, which more than made up for the borefest that was Chariots of Fire. We only stuck it out because we wanted to see Gregory's Girl!

If you use google chrome for your browser it will detect a foreign language and ask if you would like it translated, it's not perfect but works fine for shopping, give it a try!

Slim pickings in CEX this morning, but I did manage to get 2 classics and 1 low budget piece of trash for £1 each, less than I was paying for a pint of Becks Vier in the pub last night!

Fine, I'll go and buy Jaws. All you idiots talking about it is making me want it.

I've never seen it before.
