the big blue - deep sadness

Luc Besson has that magic.
Whether it's the classic killer Leon that perfectly combines business and art, the fifth element of a purely commercial sci-fi film, or this extremely personal film with blue sea and blue sky, I'm always deeply intoxicated in the first few seconds of watching the movie .
I actually fell in love with the fifth element of the commercial film that was denounced by many as completely Hollywood-style. Imaginative imagination is the first element, it is lively and relaxed, and the eyes are very comfortable. The beautiful future world is just like I yearn for. The car is flying, people live in an apartment that is high into the sky, and an old man is shaking his own. Grocery spaceships peddling breakfast. I don't have big ambitions to save the world, to be an airborne grocery boss, that's enough. After all, Lao Lu has his charm. I have watched this film several times, and I laugh every time I see it.
The English name of the blue sea and the blue sky is called the big blue. If it is translated literally, it is really difficult. Is it called Da Lan? It makes people feel unbelievable. blue means melancholy in English, and this film is too sad, deeply sad. At the beginning of the film, as soon as the black and white Sicilian coast came out, I was already intoxicated by the light and shadow. As for blue, I was looking for it anxiously. I remember the indescribable blue in the movie posters I saw in the night. But everything is black and white, the sea, the sky, the buildings, the people, just like the old photos, which are far away and evoke the heartfelt feelings of the people.
But I can see the sun, the sea of ​​Sicily in the sun. The gentle smile of the priest on the coast, the silver coins reflecting the sunlight in the shallow sea. There are also two children, one confident and proud, the other sensitive and silent. They are the spirits of the sea.
As the child grows up, the colors become richer. It turns out that the black and white section at the beginning of the film is indeed a distant memory. The blue of the ocean began to spread little by little by the golden beach, and my heart began to warm up. With a beard on his face, Renault drove his classic car to fly in the dust, and the story began with vividness and humor. Love everything that Luc uses in the film. Like the road along the coast, I love it. Like that little poor old car, I love it.
Another hero, Jacques, the once sensitive and silent child, has grown up too. He has a pure face, and there is a mixture of boyish and manly beauty in him. He was laughing, but he didn't seem to be in this world. He stares at you, but it feels ethereal and unreal. Only later did I know that he was really not a child in the world. This sea spirit was born in the sea, grew up with the sea, and will eventually sleep in the sea. The sea is his mother, his home, and his lover.
I was disturbed by the chirping of dolphins. The cry of this sea creature sounds so heartwarming. It seemed like a call from heaven, making me uneasy and flustered on such a night. Does the sound of dolphins really have such a peculiar physiological effect, which can arouse an unexpected emotion in the heart of the human being? I think it is like a kind of lust, but it is not real. As soon as I heard their call, the dark tide in my heart surged.
Before, I only thought that looking at the sea in the sun should be very beautiful. And below the sea, surging uneasy, but mysterious and fearful. Today I finally found out that in the depths of the ocean, where the sun can't shine, it is still wide, still distant, still magical, still beautiful, and it has a kind of magic power. No matter Jacques or Enzo, when they sank deep into the sea, when the color of the sea changed from light blue to dark blue, and then to pitch black, I seemed to fall into that strange space with them, there was no time, There is no place, only tolerance, only serenity, and limbs and imaginations that can be expanded indefinitely.
As Jacques said, every time I dive into the bottom of the sea, I am afraid. Fear is because I can't find a reason to let myself resurface. And his love story is so sad. I don't want to blame Jacques for his decision, but I still mourn for the woman's infatuation. She fell in love with him, but he always loved the sea more. That blue, irresistible deep blue.
lonely and free...
