'Jaws' changed everyones life in a kind of way, it changed the kind of films that a whole family could watch and children could even see the gory bits so in that aspect it was a first. Unfortunately the rest of the disaster movies like Orca the Killer Whale and Grizzly that followed didn't quite come up to scratch. It didn't change me going into the water though I was more afraid of coming into contact with jellyfish rather than a shark but it did make me want to know more information about sharks like the 'Great White' and I think the real thing looks more terrifying.
