I don't particularly see a reason for why a table is necessary for a casting list, when the prose is there, but it shouldn't have the deprecated infobox
class applied. @
Betty Logan, do you reject changing the class to wikitable floatright
?

Does the film ever specifically indicate that it takes place in New England? I thought the film, like the book, was set in New York's Long Island, even though it wasn't shot there. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:28, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
The themes section does not go into the main point of the film, which is, glaringly, the critique of capitalism - the money-grabbing mayor, the townspeople who don't bat an eye after three people are killed, the idiot press. I think it should be included up front in the themes section. 1 2 [1] Anna ( talk) 20:29, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
I sincerely doubt the film was created as a critique of Capitalism. I'm sure you can find some college tenured professor who wrote a book or a paper claiming it's an allegory to the Mona Lisa or Robert E Lee or something. It's not difficult, which is why the 'scholarly criticism' section is so obtuse and ridiculous. Unless you can find Spieldberg or some of the script writers stating as such, it's like that episode of South Park where Butters writes a book about feces and the intellectuals are reading into it things that he never intended. 2601:147:C101:D320:7D5E:52D7:27C2:8D38 ( talk) 10:11, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks Doniago for reversion of my edit. However, since I am a beginner, I would love to know the reason for reversion. It would help me not to make edits which are unnecessary/not allowed etc. Thanks. Neotaruntius ( talk) 03:57, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

In the final paragraph of the Legacy section, it says that Jaws 4 is considered one of the worst films ever made, despite being nowhere on the list. Could someone please remove the link to the page List of films considered the worst? 2600:1006:B01A:6C81:45DA:DC57:D5CB:FA07 ( talk) 17:26, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
