Steven Spielberg crafted a masterclass in non-verbal character development during the tense boat trip. To establish dominance, the hardened, working-class fisherman Quint stares down Hooper and crushes a thick Narragansett tin beer can with a single hand. In response, the wealthy, educated oceanographer Hooper tries to match his macho energy but can only pathetically crush a fragile styrofoam coffee cup. It perfectly summarizes the vast class and physical differences between the two men.
