pure

Purity, the biggest feature of the film, is also the meaning.

The misfortune of his father's diving did not diminish Jack's love for the sea. The lingering memory of Italy, the frozen Peru, and the summery Sicily are full of his following for that piece of blue. Jack is sad because he is always lonely. No matter where he goes or where he dives, it is always difficult to see someone by his side. Even if everyone is sitting at a table and lying on a bed, what he communicates is trivial. . Except for Asher before his death, no one can understand him, because he does not belong to this world, and all he can depend on is the smiling dolphin forever.

However, Jack's grief is pure, it can be seen at a glance, and it is not supported by hatred. In the film, whether it is Jack as a child or as an adult, his clothes, words, and every move all show his calmness. The peculiar mentality after getting used to grief, everything in reality seems to be unable to make him disturbed. . In the season when everyone was shivering with their coats in their hands, they went deep into the water, and when they came up, they also joked with the surprised girl; when the world diving champions cheered for him, only the children on his face were praised by the adults with the same smile; when he was a girlfriend When asked angrily, he forgot the woman beside him as soon as he jumped into the sea. If he himself said "I want to know the all about the all." He purely knows nothing about the world, he purely can only see his attachment, the deep blue.

Opposite Jack is the old friend Asher. The most obvious characteristic of Asher is wildness and self-confidence. From the "king of water" in the hearts of children when he was a child to the 17th World Diving Championship as an adult, from his long body in casual clothes to unscrupulous words and behaviors, It's easy to see. The only thing inconsistent with this should be his embarrassment in the early part of the film, why did this scene appear, ironic? Asher himself is very casual, I got it wrong. Although both Asher and Jack are good divers and love them very much, the difference is still obvious. Asher regards diving as the support of his life and the affirmation of his own value, which makes the sea that envelops him too much involved with the world, and it also becomes complicated. For Jack, diving is the essence of his life. He was destined to melt into the blue from birth. The closeness to the sea is only necessary to survive, that is, people eat three meals a day.

His girlfriend's concerns about life and the importance of reality make Jack want to escape. For him, women are more difficult to get along with than dolphins, even stupid and pure.

The life that can be seen through at a glance, the all is the big blue.

The soundtrack of the film is like the ambiguity between Jack and the sea, allowing the audience to experience the infinite charm of the pure blue with their ears. After watching, we can easily think of a word, dream. Is The big blue the big dream in the director's mind? Faced with something we have abused, can we pay attention to it again? Money, status, reputation, etc., etc., this too complicated world has changed dreams, changed and changed. In the face of the initial hope, what have we insisted on?

The blue sea and blue sky, clinging to the original purity.



-Is diving painful?
--painful.
——Why do you still need to dive?
——The pain of diving is that when I’m on the bottom of the sea, I can’t find a reason to surface myself.

    Six stars. . . It's so beautiful. The moment Jack kissed her, and the moment she let go of the rope... "Go, go and see, my love."... This is really the most beautiful movie I have ever seen

    When I was very young, I saw a movie about two divers on TV. I was very moved. I only learned today that the movie is the famous "Blue Sea and Blue Sky". I remember that the name at that time seemed to be "Clear Water Love". I will revisit it again. once again
