But what stuck out with me the most was how oddly modern the costuming was. Check out one of our heroes, Richard Dreyfuss' Matt Hooper:
Look at him- wouldn't he look totally at home with any other hipster? (I was going to say "Williamsburg" but that might be extreme.) You'd have to see the movie to get a better look, but he walks around in slip on shoes, beaten jeans, a jean jacket and a sweatshirt. And that beard with the glasses! He's Indie Jesus!!!
And then Lorraine Gray playing Ellen Boyd, the wife of the sheriff, walked around the beach wearing this-
It's the slim cardigan from the Gap. I know that the Gap isn't really a signpost for what's particularly fashionable, but I think it's odd that a movie that was done almost thirty years ago is making the same fashion choices as a major corporation today. I wonder if Patrick Robinson was sitting around on a Saturday afternoon watching Jaws and thought, "Man, I bet that'd look good today."
