This is my heart!

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2000)

The first time I saw this movie I was about fifteen years old and was blown away by the physical beauty of the film. I hadn't seen enough of the ocean to realize that it could be that way. Of course the physical beauty of Jean-Marc Barr helped too! This also helped me to realize what kind of person I wanted to love, and as I got older I was able to find and connect myself to someone who had that same wide-eyed wonder and passion as I did the first time I saw this incredible ethereal movie. Unfortunately he died. The next time I saw The Big Blue I was deep in mourning and it almost killed me to watch, but it was like being wrapped up in the arms of that wide-eyed passionate boy who I loved SO profoundly..
I have never been able to watch this movie without being reminded of that boy who I loved and lost, but it fills me with joy and hope and a sense that beauty and LOVE can be with me! I have the strength now to go on!
The story, the view, the music, the way Johanna feels when she sees Jacques for the first time... Its like dying and living and feeling everything you've ever felt all in one breath.
