Negative Positive
Title: Great movie. Lousy video presentation.
Review: I love the movie JAWS, and I agree with the AFI that it's one of the 100 greatest American films of all time. But this particular video presentation does not present the movie in it's original form. This DVD does not contain the original, oscar winning sound effects. Instead, this DVD contains a bunch of newly re-recorded sound effects. To me, this is the equivalent of re-writing Shakespear's plays, re-writing the novels of Dickens, or tearing up the Mona Lisa and painting a new one. Besides, the DVD format allows for up to 8 different audio track to be included, so even if they did record a new one, why not also include the old one? I guess George Orwell was right. History is indeed being re-written. What a shame. Hopefully someday they will issue a DVD that contains the origianl soundtrack to this movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
