>stars in two famous films directed by Spielberg
Funny how that happens. Also, during the first act when they're checking out the shark and the wreck, just the two of them, the Dreyfuss character admits to the chief of police (portrayed as a reasonable fellow who won't blab to the local idiot goyim) that he's wealthy, that he comes from money, something that he tries to keep as quiet as possible. In other words, he's living his idealized, best life as a rich coastal jew, on assignment on a shark case in a local pleb boob goyim town. The character is portrayed as a flawed but very competent scientist/sailor. His contempt for the townspeople is total, as when he informs the chief that once he leaves, the chief will be the only sane (intelligent) man left on the island, and later against Quint, who hurls "working class hero crap", who he would like to institutionalize using the jewish legal/medical practice of psychiatry to strip Quint of his rights, thus neutralizing him. He doesn't need to: the story conveniently gets rid of Quint in another way.
Befriending brand-new local law enforcement as a jew and looking down on the townspeople as a visitor also compares very closely with Blazing Saddles, released just one year earlier. In the latter, the jew informs the new sheriff that the locals are "the common clay of the American West. You know... morons."
