Question:
Wouldn't the mother of "Quint" be entitled to deliver a "Chief Brody Slap" to the face of the mother who slapped Brody?
I mean, if she hadn't so vehemently insisted through her actions that something should have been done about that shark then Quint would have never been sent out and hence would never have become that shark's meal.
That said, however, isn't the slapping mother really Bush in this scenario when you think about it? She demanded action. She wanted that shark killed. She believed someone should have put their life on the line to preserve the freedom and frolicking of the Amity island swimmers. Brody twiddled his thumbs like the U.N. Security Council...
This mother believed in preemptive action to thwart a potentially imminent threat.
So that's what we have come to. . deconstructing Jaws. I sense a college graduate seminar on this subject: "Slap Happy: Examining the roots of structural functionalism in an analysis of Cindy Sheehan v. Chief Brody."
