      let us all live together

      After watching the ocean last night, my whole heart turned dark blue, like being frozen by ice, like being submerged by the sea. I have never seen so many beautiful sea creatures, such emotional eyes, such heartbreaking tweets.
            Life, what is life, what life will move you and me. Is man life, yes, and fish is life, too. Then who should break into whose world to destroy whose life? Should not.
             We explored space, and the loud rumbling sound scared the little seal resting on...

      To those who have left us

      It was the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, and the school cinema showed this film. It has always been concerned with heroic films, but I went to the school with a pity attitude that it is cheap and not cheap.
          The biggest sadness of watching a movie with a group of little kids is that the movie theater instantly turns into a kindergarten. After taking a seat, I chose a seat far away from them, silently and my younger sister sighed...

      I always wanted to see the blue sea

      I wanted to watch "Ocean", it started about the summer vacation after the middle school entrance examination, but I pushed left and right, and I didn't get to see it until the May 1st holiday. Since I was a child, I have been very interested in things in nature, not to mention the bluest and most mysterious ocean.
          "Ocean" is a documentary. It is the work of the famous French documentary master - Jacques Behan, which took a lot of manpower and material resources and lasted four and a...

      I also took a biology class, and I feel sad when I think of it

      When I made up my mind to watch "Ocean", I would be offline one day later. First, the seniors and the younger sisters said they were good, and P also strongly recommended it; secondly, there was nothing to do at home, so it would be good to go back to school and then go out to see the hometown; thirdly, this film was unpopular, and I liked it the most. Small crowd. So I went to the street to watch a movie.

            How small is "Ocean" in China? Few cinemas will be in the theater line,...

      Flightless birds fly in the ocean.

      The whole process is very moving, ordinary and shocking.
      There is a sense of happiness in watching the film, an understanding of order and regularity, as it should be.
      The strong and the weak, the good and the bad...all that makes sense.
      Every creature has a reason for its existence.
      All in all, great, breath-taking beauty.
      like very much.
      Are we, who are the strongest in the biological world, worthy of being nurtured by nature?
      I am afraid not, at least for...

      Nature breeds life and spreads death. You have seen its magnificent beauty, and you will also see its roaring waves. But it has always given you hope and told you the praise of life. Just like when there is a sunset, there will be a sunrise. The only little turtle that has escaped predation represents the joy of life, and it will still move forward bravely. The shark whose fins were cut off and died in despair represents the cruelty of human beings, which transcends the limits of life and...

    Movie plot

    "Oceans" focuses on the "blue territory" covering three-quarters of the earth's surface, exploring this deep and rich mysterious world in depth, and fully presenting the magnificence and vastness of Oceans. The adventure of the real animal world is far more exciting than the story in the cartoon. The next screen will unfold a huge group of jellyfish, right whales, great white sharks, and penguins, and they will not hesitate to show...

    Creative background

    Jacques Perrin hopes that the film will enable people to face the problem of economic and resource coordination, and make people understand that it is not too late to protect Oceans. The creators fully demonstrated the food chain in the movie, telling people how the entire Oceans ecosystem works, and predicting the serious consequences if the food chain breaks. Everyone and animals in the film are closely related to Oceans, and what...

    Underwater shooting

    Jacques Perrin reorganized the creative team for the film. Most of the members of this underwater photography team are members of the French Oceans explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s team. They know very well that the camera is 50 meters underwater. How the place should be filmed. The crew also got help from the explorer Bertrand Picard and his father Jacques Picard who had been to the depths of 10,000 meters. Due to the fickleness of...

    Movie quotes

    • Narrator: Human indifference, without a doubt, is the ocean's greatest threat.

    • Narrator: Every breath we take, and every drop we drink, depends on a healthy ocean. Now, their life depends on us.

    • [last lines]

      Narrator: So instead of asking, 'What, exactly, is the ocean?' maybe we should be asking, 'Who, exactly, are we?'
