NEW YORK — Fifty years after “Jaws” sunk its teeth into us, we’re still admiring the bite mark.
Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film, his second feature, left such a imprint on culture and Hollywood that barely any trip to the movies, let alone to the beach, has been the same since.
“It supercharged the language of cinema,” the filmmaker Robert Zemeckis says in the upcoming documentary “Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story,” premiering July 10 on National Geographic.
That documentary, with Spielberg’s participation, is just a small part of the festivities that have accompanied the movie’s anniversary. Martha’s Vineyard, where “Jaws” was shot, is hosting everything from concerts to “Jaws”-themed dog dress-ups. “Jaws,” itself, is streaming on Peacock through July 14
