Movie with a soul

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2006)

When you watch some Oscar-winner movie with perfect acting and somebody-leaves-somebody screenplay you say: It's a nice movie." You see it again 20 years later and you say:  It's a nice movie." You see Le Grand Bleu and say: Amazing!". See it 20 years later and all you'll be able to say is: Amazing!". That makes all the difference.
For me Le Grand Bleu will always have a special meaning in my life. In fact, I realized that it is a reason (and there aren't many movies of that kind for me, perhaps just few) why I really love this art. I said reason because Le Grand Bleu is much more than a movie. You can consider it as a poetry in motion dedicated to the See, but it goes far beyond that.
Difference between this and other movies (even Besson's) is that director really put" himself into it, he made it personal (see dedication), right from the heart. Result is a movie with a soul. I have feeling this is just the movie he wanted to make, without anyone forcing him to change anything (I'm talking about 163min version longer and original French version).
Beautiful story about love, friendship, connection between man and a Nature (See) and something we seek for all our lives goes much deeper than the spoken or written words can say. Just look what reviews people wrote about it!
However, here is technical part: Luc Besson did excellent job, camera is incredible (notice usage of blue colour), actors fit their role perfectly and screenplay is great (some would say there isn't any  yes there is, but sometimes picture reveals something words never could). It would be a shame not to mention incredible music composed by Eric Serra  one of the best soundtracks ever follows movie perfectly (nothing can beat original ending with My Lady Blue).
Of course, I can tell you that Le Grand Bleu belongs to the top 3 movies I have ever seen and believe me, I have seen a lot (forget soulless", Oscar winners described above and top 100 classics people always talk about, this is something different) and that it is the most underrated movie on this site (it should be ranked over 9, at least 8.8), but when it comes to Le Grand Bleu, it really doesn't matter.
Without smallest hesitation, 10/10.
