In the first few days of the new and exciting Hollywood blockbusters such as Harry Potter and Transformers, the danger of temporarily going to the cinema to buy tickets is that either the good shows are already sold out or there are only the first three rows left. So hurriedly rushed to watch "Ocean", which had just been released for 2 days. I was surprised when I entered the venue. Not only is this a small hall, but also the audience is very small. It is a huge irony against the popular blockbuster, and the audience in other countries. The performance is in sharp contrast. I have seen Wild Australia, which was taken by the BBC for 6 years, showing the colorful Australian marine world beautifully and amazingly. "Ocean" is a completely different film from Wild Australia. In fact, it is completely different from almost all other documentaries filming the world of animals and plants. The subject's scientific name, attributes, courtship, mating, production, life habits and other documentaries are different. The content of the narration is not mentioned, and there are no subtitles, only a few narrations that are actually unnecessary. The underwater world is not as colorful as other marine worlds, and is often black and white. But I was shocked and moved by this film. I feel that a large number of people, even some people I know very well, lack one of the most important things: a sense of awe for life. Live fearlessly and without scruples, overlooking and scorning other lives, even one's own life. And Jacques Behan embodies a very noble and deep awe of life in "Ocean". In fact, as early as in his "Migrating Birds", this sense of awe is fully expressed. In the film, we often feel that we are flying parallel to the birds, Jacques. Behan used a glider to shoot. The photographer was sitting in the small front seat. After the first photographer had experienced this kind of flying experience, Jacques asked him how he felt. He couldn't say a word and shed tears. He couldn't see the glider driver or the machine itself. The 50 birds migrating to the south were flying with him at an altitude of 3,000 meters. He felt warm and inconceivable. A large number of camera positions in "Ocean", except for the necessary top-down lens, are almost head-up or looking up. A large number of short focal length lenses are used. The distance between the subject and the camera is only 1 to 2 meters. A perfect squid or lion fish. A dolphin or even a whale shark looks at you innocently as if it is close at hand, and the silent dialogue of life can be heartbreaking. The difficulty of shooting each lens is unimaginable, and I can't think of how Jacques completed those lenses. In order to shoot a perfect sea storm, Jacques waited for three years. The danger of aerial photography in the stormy sea with a helicopter was very high. Many cameras even flew lower than the waves. Without sensationalism, evaluation, and explanation, Jacques presents a mysterious, fantasy and thrilling, powerful and fragile world of life. I was wondering, is it because we have lived in cities for a long time, and cities have separated us from nature for too long, and at the same time we have destroyed so many other lives in nature that we can’t feel the greatness and dignity of other biological lives. Think that mankind himself is the greatest. A beanie friend wrote this film review: "After watching it, I deeply hope that 2012 will come soon. Everyone will die in groups and the remaining creatures can live well."
