Minute 7 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Utilizing prequel novel, The Book of Quint to pull out details and enhance our understanding of the characters in the film.

A continuation of the Spielberg fences theory for this part of Jaws. To get into the mindset of Steven Spielberg, we take a close look at Columbo: Murder By The Book (1971) and lock into Spielberg's direction vision when there are no effects and only dialogue. On-screen proof of fabricated fences to create a visual connection in these opening scenes.

A Wampanoag Tribe connection to Chrissie Watkins is revealed.

Minute 3 watching Jaws in the Expanded Jaws Universe (EJU). Using details provided by The Book of Quint and the visuals in the third minute to lock in a definitive date and time as the first calendar day in the Jaws timeline.

Chrissie continues to prove she was not just another summer girl, while director Spielberg channels his inner Hemingway and the Iceberg Theory to add a larger story beneath the surface of what we are seeing.

For the 50th anniversary of the film, we are watching Jaws again for the first time utilizing the prequel novel The Book of Quint. There is something else going on in Jaws, we just need to look at the details.

Minute 3 Recap:

- Chrissie isn't worried about coming back

- Wide map of Amity Island from the Book of Quint gives us some scale

- Temperature of the water off Amity

- Sunrise off Amity leads to a specific time we are watching

- Jaws Timeline Calendar and the significance of Friday June 27, 1974

- Spielberg's use of direction between Chrissie and Cassidy

- Hemingway's Iceberg Theory

- Spielberg's Iceberg Theory for film is key to Jaws.
