Spielberg is remorseful because of the sharks
The famous American director Steven Spielberg expressed his remorse for the devastating impact of his Oscar-winning film "Jaws", especially after its release in the United States of America.
Spielberg told BBC Radio 4 that he feared the sharks were "angry" with him "because of the post-1975 mad fishermen's rampage".
After the broadcast of his famous movie.
The film was blamed for harming the image of great white sharks and sparking a hunting fever in the United States.
When asked how he feels about the sea around his desert island now surrounded by sharks, Spielberg told the program, "It's one of the things I'm still afraid of."
But he also explained that the negative impact his shark films had on him was something that "I feel really sorry for to this day."
The 1975 movie Jaws tells the story of a great white shark that attacks a coastal city in the United States, leaving many victims until an enterprising fisherman finally catches and kills it.
Later research indicated that the number of large sharks declined significantly along the east coast of North America in the years following the release of the film and its various sequels.
Spielberg has spoken generally of being a filmmaker and said he did not see his role as "manipulating" audiences, although he did admit to doing so in Jaws and in the 1982 supernatural horror film Poltergeist.
The 75-year-old American is famous for many Hollywood movies including
(ET), (Schindler's List) and (Jurassic Park).
