Movie that will change your LIFE!!!

+ perfect music tooo

[Zona57Bob]

It's impossible to post on this queue re/ the Bill Conti music theme for this movie, which is the best. For some reason (undetermined) the web-publisher seems to have license agreements with Luc Besson which, somehow, prevents submitters from commenting in a free press manner about the music theme for the American release of this film. I haven't a clue. It's some of the most beautiful music ever composed for a film.

LOVE to You all.

one of the best movies and best musical pieces ever. Eric Serra's is good too but this for me captures the essence of the big blue

. Thanks for posting. Its been a long time since i heard this music.

[zenbach1]

oh my god, thank you so much for uploading this. i've been looking for this piece of music for 20 years. i still hear it every time i look at the sea.

[ThinkumDinkum]

The Big Blue: Main Title.

[MrEvanFoss]

Is there anyway to get the full version from you? It's been many years since I've seen it.  Thanks for the post, it's great to hear it again

[wavywaterspark]

@MrEvanFoss I no longer have access to the full version. Perhaps you could shop around for a used one on ebay. It was sold only on VHS format.

[poohbearalta]

@wavywaterspark  yes i have the US version on VHS, and this is the only version I LOVE!!!!, i have the director's cut on DVD and I hate the soundtrack....

[ckeilah]

Where can we get an AC3/DTS version of the soundtrack with Conti's music?

[gavotte88]

he died 2001, so i dont think he was trying to tribute that since the movie was made in 1988..

[isenstrider]

The European version of The Big Blue doesnt have a sad ending. Terms like happy/unhappy are transcended.

[neoperseus]

I don't fault Americans for wanting or liking happy endings. There is an element of decadence to European films that insist on sad or sadistic endings just to seem relevant. I think there is a shortage of happiness in this world and I don't want people who are dead inside to inject their disease into my psyche. A happy ending, when it's called for, is no more or less artistic than a sad one. Ajiani poked out her own eyes at the end of Betty Blue . I found that nothing but a weak gimmic.

[Ronlv001]

An amazing master piece...A trimuph to the spirit of men kind.... My most favorite movie of ALL TIMES ....

[jenjen1126]

I don't believe either version intends to have you believe he lives. The American ending is more ambiguous because we sure do like our happy endings, but even when I was ten, I thought to myself "there's no way he can live at the end, it betrays the entire film" or something to that effect.

[wavywaterspark]

I agree with that because it would be totally absurd to believe that Jacques abandoned his love to simply play with a dolphin in the sea.

[6Agathe6]

The real Jacques Mayol commited suicide. The autor wanted to respect that

[Mulyanis77]

@6Agathe6

Wrong.

[neoperseus]

This movie is the only decent work by Besson. Besson was an absolute idiot to remove the American version from the market. The Bill Conti score is superb.

[wavywaterspark]

It's not fair to call Besson an idiot.. after all, he approved the American version to be made with Bill Conti's music. If it wasn't for Luc Besson we wouldn't even be discussing this right now.

[neoperseus]

You have a point and I retract my harsh comment about Besson. I just wish I could find the darn DVD of the American version. I would buy multiple copies to give as gifts.

[neoperseus]

@wavywaterspark Fair point. Thanks are due for Besson having made this movie in the first place.

[jefflogix1]

@neoperseus Yeah. You are right. Even if he did originally make a great movie, removing the best version from the market was idiotic. The European version sucks, mostly due to the stupid soundtrack which kills the effect of the movie.

[sseklof]

Thanks. I much prefer the Bill Conti music.

[sciottos]

"...there's just one more thing...find me the French man (church bell)...find me Jacques Mayol (lower pitch church bell)..." (Enzo Molinari, from 'The Big Blue')

[CityOfLewisville]

I have the VHS. I also bought the DVD. And on the DVD they have some other soundtrack, it's Jazz. But it's not this original soundtrack. Does anybody know why they did that? The soundtrack playing in this video is the original one, and SOOOO Much better.  Thanks so much for posting this version.

[wavywaterspark]

The original soundtrack is the jazz Eric Serra version that you are referring to. The Bill Conti soundtrack that you like was added afterwards to the movie for the American market and released as such, but flopped at the box office. Afterwards Luc Besson removed all American versions and replaced all movies with the Eric Serra version.

[mophautt]

I Love This Movie..

[gantic80]

yo wavywaterpark where did you get this clip

[rickyelliot]

I love it!!!

[Luis2899]

I don't like the USA ending, but the music is hands down one of the best I've heard.

[krishnalite]

How do the other versions differ?

[devilmanpadilla]

++this is the life i always loved this movie++

[seay812]

I always loved this movie and this song that is playing in the background......

From the KING!

[schillaci55]

Never did understand the ending,can anyone explain.Other than that great movie.

[OscarsOcean]

Basically, Jaque realizes that his place is neither with the dolhpins or humans, so he dies at the end, but you don't see him dying. He swims off with the dolphin, because jaque, along with most genuis's, are usually troubled.

[tonyfuckincallan]

Unless you watch the US version in which Jacques lives happily ever after

[signman3]

i would pay 50 bucs for this dvd anytime

[fvelezdevilla]

Rest in peace Jacques Mayol.................

[EPICichiban]

If you love water... and, if  you haven't seen the movie.

You Must.

[cajuboy]

Wow. I've been looking for this version of the Big Blue FOREVER! Thanks so much for posting it - the music is really fantasterrific.
