love does not sink

Love is not just about being together, it is not just a skin-to-skin kiss, but at the moment when you touch the highest point of life, you want to share the most real feelings with each other.

When you feel hopeless when surrounded by darkness, live tenaciously by your longing for love. Whether in the seaside resort with blue sky and white clouds, or in the "battlefield" of Somalia with swirling yellow sand, these pictures not only show the beautiful scenery, but also reflect the contrast between "the greatness of heaven and earth" and "the insignificance of man". Extreme.

And this sense of picture is also resonating with the poetic lines of the protagonists. In James's mouth, no man is a lonely island - a phrase from Jooso Donne's poem.

In a group, the power of the individual is fragile and small. In front of nature, people are even more insignificant. And this is why we need love to find our own comfort and support in the boundless world. Even in the most desperate moments, we will not be overwhelmed by complete loneliness and powerlessness.

Submergence quotes

  • James More: I think you're following me.

    Danielle Flinders: Or you're following me in advance.

  • James More: Death. It gets very real when you're watching somebody die in front of you. You're thinking, is this all I am? Is this all I added up to? And all the clichés are true. You're thinking, why now? Why did it have to be... this happen, before I realize what life truly is? It's direct, it's immediate, and it's their whole life exposed to you.

    Danielle Flinders: Did you think about your own death a lot?

    James More: I did, and I do.

    Danielle Flinders: I've heard people telling me that they've had those exact same thoughts when they fell in love.

    James More: No, you don't die when you fall in love.
