"Do you know how to meet a mermaid?
Down to the bottom of the ocean. There, the water is not even blue anymore. The blue is only a memory.
In the silence you float and stay. Make up your mind that you want to be there for them. Die. Only then will they come out. They will come out to see you and judge how much you love them. If love is true, love is pure. They will be with you forever. Take you away forever. "

Pure. pure sea. Pure blue. Pure love, pure freedom.
This is a fairy tale, and it's how I felt after watching "Blue Sea and Blue Sky". The word pure is the indiscriminate evaluation of this film by many fans, and I am no exception. Luc Besson's 1988 film has been heard for a long time, but I have only seen it today. The plot of the movie is very slow, and there are no exciting and exciting scenes. It just feels very peaceful, especially when the blue sea appears on the screen, and the gray-white dolphins jump out of the blue sea, which is really a better place. world. It seems that no one can really photograph the sea as beautiful as Luc Besson, hundreds of times more beautiful than I have ever seen.
When Joanna saw Jacques for the first time, Jacques' childlike smile, innocent eyes, and handsome face made her fall in love at first sight. Looking at Jacques' eyes, how can one not be moved without the dust of the world? Jacques said, I have seen you. In fact, Joanna is very like Jacques, Joanna loves Jacques, just like Jacques loves the sea, just as pure.
Jacques' friend Enzo has been pursuing the title of diving champion in reality, but he has the same affection for the sea as Jacques. In fact, he doesn't have the freedom he wants in the real world. His mother doesn't allow him to eat macaroni. There are too many "no's". This is not the freedom he wants, and what is freedom? When he was injured in an accident in a diving competition, he finally knew where his freedom was, and he told Jacques not to save him and put him back in the sea. With tears streaming down his face, Jacques let go.
Jacques is lonely, this real world does not belong to him, his world is in the sea, and his family is dolphins. Jacques didn't know how to love Joanna, and he was Joanna's world. Both are lonely because they are in different worlds. The diving world championship is not what Jacques wants. When he saw his best friend Enzo died in the diving competition and returned to the embrace of the sea, Jacques knew that he no longer needed this real world.
Joanna is helpless. She was pregnant with Jacques's child and hoped that Jacques could come back to her and give her a warm hug. But Jacques did not speak, and was silent for a long time, and then handed the diving rope to Joanna, and asked Joanna, who loved him deeply, to let him go into the sea. Jacques told Joanna to let go. Letting go is also a form of love. Letting go is a painful decision. Joanna couldn't stop crying, let go of the rope in her hand, and watched her lover sink into the sea. She knew she couldn't have him, couldn't go to his world, lost him forever. This pain is heart-wrenching.
Lonely beauty, no one applauds. Looking at the intoxicating blue sea will make people very quiet, and where is your world?
After watching this fairytale movie, it reminded me of the documentary Grizzly Man. Many people don't understand Treadwell, who likes grizzly bears. He doesn't like human society and is obsessed with the world of grizzly bears, even though it's dangerous. No one understood him and he ended up being eaten to death with his girlfriend after being attacked by a bear, but he still loved them. He blends in with nature, but nature is always cruel, this is the world he chooses. And how can others understand his happiness?
Blue is romantic, quiet and melancholy. Everyone has another blue world, with their own blue sea and blue sky, but how many people can live as pure as Jacques and Treadwell brush away the mundane dust?
