Destiny's Melancholy

The first acquaintance with Luc Besson came from Eric Serra, his official soundtrack. From the first movie soundtrack "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" that I found in Dakoudui, I started to follow the clues, and I saw "The Fifth Element" from "Subway", "Blue Sea Love", "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Luc won me over with his tenderness and delicacy, juxtaposed with Wim Wenders as my favorite.
Compared with the various Chinese translations of "Deep Blue", "Blue Ocean Love", "Blue Ocean Love", etc., I prefer the English title "The big blue", which always reminds me of Kokoska's "Storm". ", when the last syllable was spit out from the throat, the whole person sank in the dark blue, unwilling to extricate himself from the gentle exile!
Jacques grew up by the sea, his mother had left long ago, and his father died in an accident while diving. The silent Jacques does not like to talk, and is close friends with the world diving champion Enzo. In the icy world of Peru, he fell in love at first sight with Joanna, an insurer from New York. But Jack couldn't resist the call from the dolphins and the sea. The death of his friend Enzo strengthened his determination to be with the mermaid. Finally, on a dark night, I plunged into the deep sea...
Compared with the violent Hollywood blockbuster, "Blue Sea Love" seems too quiet and simple, but Luc Besson used a lot of moving underwater photography and Eric Ser The beautiful soundtrack of the three days of Laraoliang makes up for this lack, plus the clean and handsome face and pure and deep eyes of Jean-Marc Barr (Jacques), and the love of Jean Reno. (Jean Reno, who plays Enzo) The wild and confident comedy performance makes the sea-blue "Blue Sea Love" heartbreakingly beautiful.
For some, the calling of the soul comes from deep, unforgettable memories, those thick pieces that are like sacred beliefs that keep life bright and burning. The sea of ​​childhood is the holy land of Jacques' life. When the beloved woman opened her mouth, he said, "Shh, don't talk here...." For him, the throbbing of his heart came from the soft call of the blue ocean and dolphins, not Joanna's infatuation. So when she said to him, "I've never found a reason to stay, but now I've found it, that's you...", he could only return with a slight smile. You can play balloons with her, take her home, have sex with her. But the only ones who can sleep together are the dolphins in the deep blue.
In this film, Jacques' melancholy is fatally irresistible. Despite Enzo's hilarious verbal gestures and his mother's pasta, and the humorous details of the rotten vintage car dragging a battered cabinet, drinking champagne underwater, fitting sneakers in a suit, diving in the bathtub, and so on, the melancholy didn't make it work. Light release, and finally had to be buried in the deep sea with Jacques. After leaving the lover who is pregnant with his child, after saying "Go, my lover", weeping alone... Just such a desperate man, it is irresponsible that he can't be criticized by others. It's more of a heart-wrenching love, quietly aching in the audience's soul!
Luc Besson was born in Paris, France in 1959. "His father was a water sports player and his mother was a diving instructor. He spent almost all his childhood in the water." After becoming famous, he said in an interview: "Actually I always wanted to be a diver and take care of dolphins, but then there was an accident and I couldn't dive anymore. I was seventeen and I was thinking about what to do next. You know sometimes you're in The point is, you can be good, you can be bad, and you can do stupid things. I'm seventeen, so I want to focus on doing what I can do. So I take a piece of paper and write what I can do Everything, or every talent I had, and things I couldn't do, and then I found out that I love writing, I love imagining, I took a lot of pictures, and finally I thought, maybe movies are for me... ." So later, due to his love for the blue sky, blue sea and dolphins, he made this dreamy "Blue Sea and Deep Love". And, it is said that in order for Eric Serra to compose the soundtrack for the film, Luc forced him to go from a landlubber to a good diver. And Serra lived up to her expectations and helped Luc win eight nominations for the film at the 14th Caesar Awards and won two awards for "Best Sound" and "Best Music".
In the early years, Luc Besson made a statement to the outside world, claiming that he would only make ten films in his life. Now, the last work "Angel A" has also premiered in Paris. It is said that the film is all shot in black and white film, telling the story of a man who doesn't know love constantly looking for love. Looking forward to it!
