Summary: besson's best!...
Review: this film is very special to me. the plot isn't that great but it's a film that looks and feels so good and the soundtrack is very effective especially the theme tune. even rosanna arquette isn't that annoying in it!the film belongs to jean-marc barr though.it's a shame his career has never really taken off cos he's quite good in this role.location shooting in greece,new york, the riviera and taormina,sicily add to the magic!...

Summary: slow but nice
Review: .
Director's cut editions arent always a good thing (lots of deleted scenes found their way back to the original "fast" editing),
but i enjoyed every minute of this flick. its Bason at his best (almost), a magical movie, with a killer sound track.
for home theater only!!!

Review: i was mesmerized by the movie. The music and the under water footage has a very calming effect on the viewer. The film explores new depths.

Summary: The Big Bore
Review: Already one of the most boring movies ever made, Luc Besson has added insult to injury by putting 50 more minutes of boredom into this agonizingly slow film. Rosanna Arquette's giggly performance is the cinematic equivalent of fingernails on slate. Jean-Marc Barr delivers no performance whatsoever, just mugs for the camera with a lost look on his face. And Jean Reno plays his usual gravel-throated self. Predictably enough, this film has been artificially elevated to classic cult status by dreary film snobs who think a slow pace equals a deep and meaningful story. In this case, only the ocean is deep. The brain behind this film is shallower than a tidal pool.

Summary: Mind Bent
Review: I've only seen the American version. I must say, It haunted me for two days. So utterly tragically beautifull.

Summary: Poetry in Blue
Review: This film is in 'the most beautiful' category of the films i've seen. It is not about a contest, a personal success or just dramatical story. It is about passion, poetry and deepest in ourselves. It is what a film should be: a sensual experience of that magic in our&other selves.
The characters, especially women, are said to be 'tin' in words; but they are what some of us really are. It is not necessary to agree with other people, in fact, it deprieves one of his/her self if attempted. For those that like watching likeable, developing, 'better man' characters in a film, this one won't do. It is like life of passion, not life of fitting in.

Summary: wonderful movie
Review: I am a big Luc Besson fan, and this film is one of the reasons why. Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr provide excellent performances in "The Big Blue," and this DVD provides a great presentation of the film. The film itself is just a wonderful - no other words for it - story of a man's enchantment with the sea. The score by Eric Serra complements the film perfectly. I don't think I can come up with enough effusive praise for this film, and would unhesitatingly recommend it to everyone. It truly is a great film.

Summary: A call from 'the other side'...
Review: This movie is inspiring in a way that few movies are. Usually, when 'inspiration' is involved, the hero or heroin achieves some hard to attain goal. Here Jacques, like a Buddhist monk, is no longer interested in the world. A better world awaits him in the Big Blue. The viewer is taken on a surprising journey. For all his extraordinary attunement to the sea and the dolphins, Jacques is like a naief child when it comes to communication with the world. At first he experiences this is a shortcoming. But when faced with the choice of wordly love and the 'other side', he comes to see the depth and fullness of his world below water. The movie has several spiritual metaphores, such as Jacques ability to slow his breath and concentrate all his energy in the brain - a feat also attained by mystics and yogis -, and the rope by which the competitors dive to the depths of the ocean - an 'upside down' symbolism of the spine. From this angle, the final scene is his release from all bondage. Lighting up the serious theme are some totally hilarious scenes, and a friendship that endures all. I love this movie. With Crouching Tiger and the Matrix it is in my top three.
