OVER BLACK SCENE CARD

Amity Makes Proof Fight the Economy

Jaws (1975) · Beach/town pressure before open-water hunt

The shark works before it is seen because the town is built to disbelieve danger. Beach geography and tourism economics make proof politically expensive.

Why it works

The beach/town sequences make civic geography dramatic: Amity’s shore, mayoral pressure, tourist season, and public visibility turn proof into an economic threat.
