Customer Reviews of The Big Blue (Le Grand Bleu)

Man seeks truth and knowledge in the big blue.
The cinematography is stunning. The movie envelops you in breathtaking diving sequences in Sicily and the Greek Islands to name a couple of locations. The movie also will encourage you to travel to the Island of Sicily and eat linguine vongole. The eating sequence filmed off the coast of Sicily will make you hungry. The movie also addresses the issue of world class athletes pushing themselves to the limit and risking their lives in the process. Staring mortality in the face, does man recognize the limit of his boundary at the end of a free fall dive and safely ascend to the surface to breathe oxygen or does man dare to venture forth beyond the boundaries of life with the eternal descent into the big blue? Perhaps only the dolphin can answer this question. The acting in the movie is first rate and so is the direction. I wish America saw more of Jean-Marc Barr. I have been a fan of Jean Reno since this film. Rosanna Arquette is a good actress. This film is highly entertaining. Where is the extended widescreen version transfer of the film to DVD?

Truly emotionally captivating, beautifully done
The Big Blue is truly is my favorite movie and I have been looking for a copy for ages. I even tried to find it when I was in Paris to no avail but did find the movie poster. Some movies despite the critics just touch your heart and I made a deep connection to this movie. I loved the cinemaphotography, shot in Greece in black and white and turns to color in the present. "Z little Frenchman", Jacque Mayal, portrays a sense if innocence and I especially loved his connection with the dolphins as his "family", as he had no real family of his own. Despite Rosanna Arquette's best efforts to to create marriage material, Jaque is drawn to the ocean, where his father died and his only family, the dolphins, reside. Jean Reno is hillarious and their frienship is one of admiration. Yet they are so competitive that this eventually is the tragedy in the movie. My husband and I still do not agree on the ending. It is very sureal and it leaves the audience to conclude its own interpretation, which I thought was done brilliantly. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Universal Truth: Review from Power vs. Force by D.R. Hawkins
[Refers to original theatrical release.] "We've made [kinesiological] calibrations of various kinds of records of athletic achievement, including movies. Of all the movies about sports studied, the French film 'The Big Blue' produced the highest calibration. This is the story of Jacques Mayol, the Frenchman who held the world record for deep-sea diving for many years (until very recently). The movie calibrates at the extraordinary level of 700 (universal truth), and has the capacity to put viewers in a high state of consciousness -- the manager of one movie theater that showed it described audiences wandering out lost in silence or crying with joy they couldn't describe." David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D, from "Power vs. Force", page 173
