The Big Blue

One of my favourite films that have affected my love for films is ‘Le Grand Bleu’ (1988) Directed by Luc Besson. This beautifully well written ,acted, photographed and directed movie carries the audience into an extraordinary world of passion towards the sea and diving, that evolves around the characters of Jacques Mayol and Enzo Molinari and their fierce rivalry. Besson’s way of capturing realism in this film shows a woman sacrificing her happiness for love, taking the audience on a contemplative journey as the characters emotions allow the audience to connect to them. The sea which is this films subject hypnotizes you and rocks you into their world with the lush scenery; highlighting this films greatest message which is freedom. This film inspired me to look deeply within the messages and values of films that I watch and also challenge myself to stimulate my work to have a great meaning that would one day inspire my viewers.
