hello,
isn't it strange sometimes how TV schedules work out. ITV's Sunday night film Jaws is bissected by Evening News with coverage of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. floating bodies, grief, survivors... introducing part 2 of Jaws after the news-break, the continuity announcer actually uses the phrase "troubled waters"... it just seems uncanny somehow.
i don't know much about the flim, having never watched it properly - Hollywood-dream victory-over-the-great-submerged-evil macho fantasy trash, a police hero and supporting cast of repressed, hostile men (as i type they are on a boat comparing wounds and war stories), the struggle to maintain 'law and order'? 'mastery' of natural forces / a monster from the unconscious / predatory 'other'? on- and off-screen space, implied horror just outside the frame... what is (not) being said? just wondering and half-watching.
