Summary: the best movie ever made

Summary: Big Blue us version vs european version
Comment: I first watched this movie in 1992 in America and loved it. The calmness of Jacques was so ethereal and gave Jean Reno a chance to shine so comically. I became an instant fan and started watching more Luc Besson movies. However, on returning to the UK and purchasing it for a friend, I was mortified by the Eric Sierra score which jarred with the story. To add insult to injury, I purchased 2 soundtrack cd's hoping for the Goldsmith music. So what I'm trying to say is, watch the US version which is a completely different experience.

Summary: a magical film for us waterbabies
Comment: This is a beautiful film in all ways, music, locations, scenery, a good story which i can relate to, somebody mentioned a good film for escapism, that comment captures it perfectly in my opinion,truly one of my favourite films, i do think you have to be in love with the sea to really appreciate this film though, i can only assume anybody who is not touched by the beauty of this film has never truly felt the magic of the ocean lapping at their feet but has merely stepped in some salt water!!! Give it a go people its very much worth it x

Summary: Blue Genius
Comment: This is a well kept secret, and like a great deal of films made without mainstream American actors it suffered at the box office. The European cast and locations are truly magnificent in themselves. The Big Blue has so much atmosphere, that it almost captures the residual wave motion we can feel before sleeping. The most striking thing I remember about the The Big Blue is the respect and friendship developed by the two main characters. Enzo has a brilliant presence in the film the character almost steals the the limelight from the lead character Jacque. Free diving may well be the most extreme sports on the planet, the real life hero's Jacques Mayol and Enzo Molinari (Jean Reno before he became an international superstar) must have been at the height of their talent and in amazing physical condition. Anyone who loves the ocean should see this film, I am sure this will stand the test of time. : )

Summary: as beautiful as a film can get
Comment: i decided to write something about big blue as it is one of my top 20 films of all time and i cant understand people who give it one star.. they really dont understand cinema do they ????
it really is an amazing film, dreamy is the right word, one of bessons best together with nikita and leon (especially leon, great but not as unique). music and cinematography are oscar worthy, acting is sublime, photography breathtaking.. story maybe slightly frivolous but touching at same time. a drama with a few drops of comedy here and there, on a subject that was never touched before or after this film came out.
if u generally love the sea and never seen this film just go buy it, u will be enthralled..& if u are indifferent on the sea subject, but u think u can still appreciate a stunningly beautiful film then still go buy it. 6 stars ........
