After Jason strays from the group, his mother Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong'o) begins frantically looking around the beach, out at the ocean, and through the crowd in search of her son, before getting up and actually sprinting through the sand and screaming his name in an attempt to find him. For anyone who has seen Steven Spielberg's 1975 film about a certain bloodthirsty shark, the beats in this scene should feel eerily familiar.
As Adelaide combs the beach with her eyes, she tries in vain to ignore the ramblings of her friend, Kitty (Elisabeth Moss), who is obliviously chattering away beside her. It's an extremely similar set up to the scene in Jaws when Sheriff Brody (Roy Scheider) is scanning the water in search of a shark as a busybody from town complains about people parking in front of his house.
