The Bravest Act in Jaws Came From a Character You Probably Forgot

One of the bravest acts in the original Jaws doesn't come from Chief Brody or Quint - it's the unnamed boater who tries to save Brody's son. There is little to say about this particular Steven Spielberg movie that hasn't already been said. It's a peerless exercise in suspense, it boasts amazing performances and became the first true summer blockbuster back in 1975; it also kicked off the Jaws movie franchise, which concluded with The Revenge. One element of the original that few pick up on is that it only has two acts, instead of the traditional three act structure.
