That scene in Jaws where the Captain speaks about it was one of the most powerful dialogues in movie history.

Yep.

THIS ONE

Shaw made the final edits personally. I get chills every time I watch this.

RE Robert Shaw’s monologue:

I know what you mean about the chills. “Powerful” is stating it mildly.

It truly WAS the very first time I ever heard of the USS Indianapolis. I was 14 when “Jaws” came out. I remember hearing that speech, and then actually going to the library to look up information about that ship.

All those good men, God rest their souls... but by delivering that bomb to Tinian, they helped speed the end of the war, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.
