《碧海蓝天》影评

“你知道该怎么样才能见到美人鱼吗？

下到海底。在那，海水甚至已不是蓝色。蓝色也仅成为回忆。 在寂静中你漂浮其中，呆着。要下定决心愿为她们而死。只有这样她们才会出来。她们才会出来见你，判断你对她们的爱有多深。如果爱为真，爱为纯。她们就会永远和你在一起。带你永远离去。”

纯粹。纯粹的海。纯粹的蓝。纯粹的爱，纯粹的自由。 这是一部童话，是我看完《碧海蓝天》的感觉。纯粹这个词，我想肯定是众多看过本片的对这部片大部分的评价，我也没能例外。吕克.贝松19xx年的这部片耳闻已久，时至今日才看到。电影的情节很缓慢，也没什么扣人心弦的刺激场面，只觉得很宁静，特别是画面上出现当碧蓝色的大海，一望无边的，灰白色的海豚从蓝色的海面跳跃出来，那真的一个更美好的世界。似乎真的没有人能象吕克.贝松那样把大海拍得这么美，比我所见过的美上百倍。

当乔安娜第一次看见雅克的时候，雅克孩子般天真的笑容，纯真的眼神，英俊的脸庞，让她一见钟情。看着雅克的眼睛，没有世间的尘埃，怎能不让人心动？雅克说，我见过你。其实乔安娜很像雅克，

乔安娜爱雅克，就像雅克爱大海，一样的纯粹。

雅克的朋友恩佐一直在现实中追求潜水冠军的头衔，但他和雅克一样对大海怀有深情，其实他在现实世界里也没有他想要的自由，妈妈不准他吃通心粉，工作的时候有太多的“不准”。这不是他想要的自由，而自由又是什么？当他在潜水大赛出事受伤的时候，他终于知道了他的自由在何处，他让雅克不要救他，把他放回大海。雅克泪流满面，他放手了。

雅克很孤独，这个现实世界不属于他，他的世界在大海，他的家人就是海豚。雅克不知道该怎么去爱乔安娜，而他就是乔安娜的世界。两个人都很孤独，因为他们在不同的世界。潜水世界冠军并不是雅克所要的，当看见最好的朋友恩佐在潜水大赛里死去回到大海的怀抱，雅克知道自己已经不需要这个现实世界了。

乔安娜很无助。她怀了雅克的孩子，希望雅克能回到她身边，给她温暖的拥抱。可雅克没有说话，沉默了很久，然后把潜水的绳索交给乔安娜，让深爱他的乔安娜放他下海。雅克让乔安娜放手。放手也是一种爱。放手是一个痛苦的抉择。乔安娜不住的哭泣，松开手中的绳索，看着爱人沉入海底。她知道她无法拥有他，无法去他的世界里，永远失去了他。这种痛，痛彻心扉。

孤独的美，无人喝彩。看着那让人沉醉的蓝色大海，会让人安静无比，而你的世界又是在哪里呢？

看完这部童话般的电影，让我想起皮特布拉德出演的那部唯美而又忧伤的《燃情岁月》。有些人能够清楚听到内心深处的声音，并

以此行事，这些人要么变成了疯子，要么变成了传奇。很多人不理解崔斯汀，他不喜欢政府和社会的约束，他迷恋大自然的世界，尽管这很危险。没有人理解他，亲眼看着弟弟在一战中死去内心的愧疚和悲伤，以及对苏珊的爱情死亡和妻子伊莎贝尔遭仇敌杀害的痛苦， 在这些不幸背后，他的内心深处始终在寻找那个属于他的自然。但大自然总是残酷的，这是他选择的世界，没人能懂。有些人的内心就像石头里的结了冰的水，石头终究要破但这与水无关。

蓝色是浪漫的，是安静的，是忧郁的。每个人都有着另一个蓝色世界，有着自己的碧海蓝天，可又有多少人能像雅克和崔德威尔拂去世俗的尘埃，活得那样纯粹？

GREEK ISLAND - SUNSETCREDIT SEQUENCE:The image is in black and white.The sun disappears behind arid cliffs which cast giantshadows on the sea.A little boy around 8 years old -- tanned from head to toe-- sprints along the cliffs, scrambles from one rock toanother with amazing agility.In one hand, he carries a transparent plastic bag. In theother, a net bag containing flippers, mask, pants andsweater.The only thing that slows him down is his bathing suit --obvious hand-me-downs -- way too big. He tugs on them ashe goes, holding them up... Until they slide again... ashe leaps again... and pulls them up...The little boy is JACQUES MAYOL.End credits.EXT. GREEK ISLAND - SUNSETJACQUES reaches a ledge jutting out over a deserted cove.He spits in his mask... expertly spreads the spit with afinger... locks his feet into the flippers... and dives.He surfaces a long way out... adjusts his mask... andswims away from shore.IN OPEN SEAThe boy stops swimming -- starts to gulp air -- sucks itin -- oxygenating his blood in a series of deep rapidbreaths -- almost hyperventilating, almost alarming ifwe've never seen this before.His gaze is glued to the ocean floor. Clear clear water.40 feet deep. And intensely blue.Suddenly, he catches his breath and dives -- into theblue.UNDERWATERJACQUES touches bottom. Clamps his legs around a rock tohold himself down. Unhurried, thoroughly at home, 40 feetunder... he opens the plastic bag. A huge speckled morayeel appears in a hole in the rock, slithers toward him.The carnivore's jaws are bigger than the boy's head.The boy smiles at him. Pulls a piece of raw meat out ofhis bag and holds it out. The eel takes the morseldelicately -- and slithers back into his hole.Gravely, JACQUES takes another morsel out of the bag.EXT.

I'll get itfor you, Father!PRIESTIt'll be for the poor.JACQUES, intent on the coin's glimmer, quickly slips onhis fins, prepares his mask. He swims in the water like afish, goes directly to the coin.

The onlookerscheer, help him out of the water, slapping him on theback.ENZO tosses the jack and his flippers to ROBERTO.Impassive and silent, he slips his arms into the prizefighter's robe that ROBERTO holds out for him, walkssolemnly back to his car.ROBERTO takes the check and walks over to the car. ENZObends down into the car and opens the roof.SUPERVISOR(through the openroof smiling)Thanks, thanks a lot. I mean thattoo... You extortionist bastard!The car rushes off.
