Beautiful ocean, unbearable harm

Jacques Behan’s "Ocean" was filmed for seven years. In order to shoot this documentary, it cost a total of 75 million US dollars. Even the director himself does not believe that the cost can be recovered. However, it came to China only two years after the film was released. In the few movie theaters in China, it must be a tragedy at the box office.



A good movie is less popular, and this is the fate of the masterpiece "Ocean". Fortunately, the film has a very good reputation, so that the film has not been released yet, and it has been slightly revived. According to word of mouth, more people went to the big screen of the movie theater to enjoy it. This is a good thing. I believe that the people who go to see it are the people who really like it. Unlike me, I watched this movie by accident. In the all-night show at UME Huaxing in Beijing, the first two movies in the same night show were "Transformers 3" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ( Next)", and the last one is "Ocean". On that day, with the end of "Change 3" and "Ha 7", a large number of people huffed and left. The few who stayed, and most of them were slumbering, even if it was me, I couldn't bear the harassment of sleepiness, and couldn't help taking a couple of naps. Fortunately, I basically persevered and didn't miss most of the excitement. However, at the box office, those who left, their ticket prices were obviously calculated. No matter how big this number is, it represents some moisture. All the people who enter the theater because of word of mouth, actually deserve some applause.



Too much irrelevant words are said. For "Ocean", it is really a masterpiece, I believe anyone who reads it will sigh sincerely. This must be a tribute to the director Jacques Behan. As an actor who has won the actor of Venice, he has appeared in the popular "Paradise Cinema", and also participated in such as "The Spring of the Cowboys". excellent work. But acting and you are leading, his work has become a documentary, and the first answer is "Migrating Birds" such a shocking work, this time "Ocean" directly inherits "Migrating Birds", It was shocking again. And as a producer, he has also produced excellent documentaries such as "Micro World" and "Himalaya", as well as feature films such as "Beijiao 1936". His travels in different types of movies, as well as the record of a good movie in the water, are impressive. And "Ocean" directly inherited this spirit.



On the earth we live on, water occupies more than 3/4 of the entire surface of the earth, and the ocean is the absolute protagonist. The human beings living on land have been exploring life, and the advancement of science and technology has reached unprecedented heights. However, we still don't know much about the ocean, and it is still harming the ecology of the ocean. Following in the footsteps of Jacques Behan and taking a serious look at the ocean world, we will be shocked by our previous ignorance. Because of ignorance, all we can do when facing a beautiful blue field is to open up our own research, and at the right time, open our mouths of awe, accompanied by a sound or two. Exclaimed. From huge whales to small and weak jellyfishes, the documentary "Ocean" is always showing people an amazingly beautiful picture. Of course, this is not an ocean story full of details like "Finding Nemo", nor does it have the erratic plot like "Shark Gang". The ocean is showing as he should, and Jacques Behan is just right. The correct chapter was selected and presented. Therefore, to show the ocean in the form of a documentary is really an appropriate form of film.



Of course, because of the existence of human beings, no matter how much we know about the ocean, the human impact on the ocean has already existed objectively, and the harm caused by such an impact is also direct and equally shocking. The most direct harm is the indiscriminate hunting and hunting of fish, which directly cut off the existence of the marine life chain. Indirect damage comes from pollution. The various harmful substances dumped by humans from land to ocean have profoundly changed the ocean's own circulation mode. Just because of the huge ocean, this kind of damage does not seem to be so obvious to ordinary humans. But as long as you use satellites and other scientific tools to measure it, you will immediately get shocking data and images.



Not to mention, the oil spills that have occurred from time to time in recent years have already shocked people. The oil spill in the United States last year caused the entire United States to panic, and the North Sea oil field in the United Kingdom also had such a scandal. The Chinese people themselves are most able to perceive the oil spill in the Bohai Oilfield in China Sea, which is jumping into the eyes of news readers in a short time, and the processing by the relevant departments has so far been concealed and disappointing. .



The beauty and wounds of the ocean are closely related to human beings. But in any case, we should first understand it. Only in this way can we influence the next step of human behavior. The good works brought by Jacques Behan with the breath of art are just a small window into the ocean. Through it, not only to understand the ocean, but also to experience the surrounding of art in the process of understanding. Matter, why not do it.
