《大白鲨》不仅是北美第一部票房过亿美元的影片，还获得多项奥斯卡奖。然而在当时，这部影片的诞 生之路并不顺利，包括斯皮尔伯格在内的主创团队也没有意识到，这部"海滨度假区遭遇鲨鱼威胁"的惊 悚类型片会成为跨时代的经典。由于预算紧张，《大白鲨》最初只被当作一部低成本娱乐片来制作，当 时斯皮尔伯格还不到30岁，作为导演资历不深、经验不足，光是影片的关键道具就已经让影片拍摄周期 延迟了数月，预算超支两倍多。而正是由于缺乏明星、机械特效不靠谱，反而让斯皮尔伯格有机会发挥 自己在铺设悬念、构造惊悚方面的天赋，通过水中漂浮的血迹、人类惊恐的表情等侧面描写，营造出大 白鲨来袭的恐惧感，这类手法也被《大白鲨》三部续集（非斯皮尔伯格执导）和《异形》等后来的恐怖 片所借鉴和效仿。 《大白鲨》中的音乐也发挥了重要作用，配乐大师约翰·威廉姆斯通过简单、重复的音节，渲染出怪物 逼近的紧迫感，这种配乐手法也影响了其他惊悚片。片中人与自然的对抗性、怪兽背后的社会隐喻和环 保主题，也都是《大白鲨》留给好莱坞的遗产。在商业开发层面，《大白鲨》当年首次尝试将电影周边 衍生品与电影上映同步推广，相当于IP系列开发的雏形。《华尔街日报》专栏作者凯尔·史 ...
