The Big Blue
film concert tour
begins this week in Nantes, Toulouse, Marseille, Montpellier...
We asked our Internet users what memories they have of this mythical music, which has topped French film soundtrack sales for over thirty years.
Most remember it as soothing, uplifting, pleasant and relaxing music.
The music of the
Big Blue
provokes memories much deeper than it seems.
Normal given the subject of Luc Besson's film that we will be able to rediscover and above all hear again in cine-concert, thanks to its composer Eric Serra, this week in Nantes, Toulouse, Marseille and Montpellier, before other dates on tour.
On the occasion of this event, we asked our readers to share their best stories with us.
Hovering like the sensations of snorkeling
Our Internet user Paco remembers the
Big Blue
well, which he saw "shortly after [his] wedding in 1988", while on vacation in La Baule: "What a pleasure to see this film on a beautiful screen with real cinema sound .
So thank you Mr. Serra!
“Caroline says that” the soundtrack of the
Grand Bleu
accompanied her during the birth of [her] daughter and this music [l] a lot soothed “.
Our Internet users have often noted the hovering nature of a sound sometimes described as “supporific”.
"At the same time, it's a music supposed to translate the sensations of snorkeling, I was not going to put hard rock anyway", defends Eric Serra.
Jordi, for his part, sees this music as an invitation for “a moment to oneself: we enter a bubble and abandon ourselves to the instruments of Eric Serra”.
All you need is “a sound, a flash that transports you for a few moments to a Sicilian landscape”.
It was his "first big film", "the first time that [he] experienced emotions through the screen".
This soundtrack is "imprinted on this panel of emotions experienced and listening to it from time to time is to take a free shot of these emotions".
More prosaically, Steph notes that "at the time, we also went to the cinema to roll our shovels and this bewitching music, these very beautiful but somewhat always the same images, this very simple story with few dialogues... left the in love all the time to kiss each other.
A bygone era?
It would be a shame to think so...
It would also be wrong to reduce the Big Blue to its music.
There is also its color, “this blue, exclaims Sofiane, a blue that makes you want to dive into it”.
Trilokgurtu recalls for his part the cult line of Jean "Enzo" Reno: "Roberto, mio palmo", which seems to mean "Roberto, my palms", but far from Italian and in a language known only to him, while 'Isabelle talks about the dented Fiat 500, “the other star of a film which turns out to be [her] favourite”.
Finally, Plopi proves that our Internet users have a sense of humor.
His answer to the question what do you remember from the music of the
Big Blue
?
: “His black shoe.
