Why is this work an American Icon?:

'JAWS' is an American Icon. The novel is great but I say the film is more of icon than the book. 'JAWS' is the Moby Dick of films. A modern version of old sea tales. Filmed on location in Martha's Vinyard Massachusetts and the first film to start the summer blockbuster craze. Directed by an American original himself ...Steven Spielberg.

First name:

Shane
