We've hunted seabirds, we've hunted whales, we've run countless drilling rigs. But, who can say that he really understands the ocean?
Jacques Behan set off with his camera. This national treasure of the French film industry, after completing "Microcosm", "Migrating Birds" and "Himalaya", aimed at this blue. However, this ocean is too esoteric, and it takes enough time and patience to decipher her. In today's era, perhaps only such an old man can calm down and put aside all impetuousness to accomplish this feat. Two years of preparation, four years of filming, and one year of post-editing, the old man took every shot with vitality by relying on the sea and the wind.
"For me, good emotions are the only thing that matters," said Jacques Behan. "We need peace with nature, because humans can't live alone on this earth."
Produced for the film The film cost over $70 million, but Jacques Behan didn't make it into a commercial. He is not only taking the camera deep into the ocean to record the wonderful underwater world, but also showing and analyzing the current situation of the ocean to human beings. crisis. In this well-crafted documentary, with shocking footage and a few voice-overs, Jacques Behan strongly expresses his awakening as a human being and his worries about the future destiny of mankind.
One of the directors of "Ocean", Jacques Crusoe said: "You imagine a perfect scene, and nature will give you a hundred times more perfect than it." I always felt that excessive virtuosity would make a documentary It became frivolous, but Jacques Behan finally reassured me with the camera. He did put a lot of effort into technology, but not in pursuit of technical perfection, but in pursuit of a new perspective. When we look at these animals with an eye we have never had before, we discover that we are so similar to them.
The uniqueness of "Ocean" is that every life in the lens is emotional, even intelligent. Jacques Behan did not regard animals as objects to be photographed objectively, but regarded them as people and roles, so the camera was always capturing the gaze and even the expressions of animals. You don't think they're just a fish, that's who you are. And I'm sure that this movie will move a lot of people.
For me, this movie is a gift of nature, and its only regret is that it has not been released in China. But now, it's coming. From August 12th, we will be able to witness the miracle from the sea. Before that, Jacques Behan will sit on the news network at 16:45 on August 11, and accept the exclusive online interview (live broadcast) of the "Quotations" column to reveal the details about this film in advance for us.
BesTV, the exclusive copyright of "Ocean" in mainland China, will join hands with Dalian Radio and Television Station to launch the IPTV "Ocean" premiere. The film will be launched on BesTV IPTV and other media platforms in September, so stay tuned.
