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 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)

could you maybe just add a ‘Cast’ section to the drop down menus? all else is great! 2600:8804:84C1:EF00:D4D8:FE6C:F569:A054 (talk) 03:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Betty Logan (talk) 11:28, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Considering this article's status as one of the best on Wikipedia, shouldn't it rework the cast list to be coherent to the way it's usually done? I don't know if it's a guideline, but 99% of the film articles has it right under the plot section, rather than in a lateral box buried several pages down. Kumagoro-42 (talk) 11:37, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
The cast section is much better integrated in this article. Other articles should be taking their lead from this one IMO. Betty Logan (talk) 00:47, 3 August 2024 (UTC)A basic cast list in a "Cast" section is appropriate for most stub-class articles. When an article is more developed, information about the cast can be presented in other ways. A "Cast" section may be maintained but with more detailed bulleted entries (ensuring that these do not force any line breaks that reduce accessibility), or 'a table or infobox (grouping actors and their roles) may be placed in the plot summary or in the "Casting" subsection of a "Production" section.
