The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), Directed by Wes Anderson.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film, it was so inspiring to see the underwater shots, the set design blew my mind, the way that it was all set on board a ship. Whilst I was watching the film, I kept questioning whether this mythical shark even existed, we only see it at the end when everyone is reunited inside a model. As a wildlife cameraman, I was able to relate to the life of the oceanographer, the adventure and the locations re-enhanced the theme of life under the sea. The music links back to the 70's, we have classic David Bowie tracks that are played through the film but they are in Portugues right up until the end when we hear the original track from Bowie himself. The film itself cost around 25 million for production but they only made 35million for the film so they didn't make much profit. The key element that I loved about this film was the fact that it was a film about a crew of filmmakers making a film, in the style of a documentary.
