The Big Blue (released in some countries under the French title Le Grand Bleu) is a 1988 English-language film in the French Cinéma du look visual style, made by French director Luc Besson. The film is a heavily fictionalized and dramatized story of the friendship and sporting rivalry between two leading contemporary champion free divers in the 20th century: Jacques Mayol (played by Jean-Marc Barr) and Enzo Maiorca (renamed to "Enzo Molinari" and played by Jean Reno), and Mayol's fictionalized relationship with his girlfriend Johana Baker (played by Rosanna Arquette).
The film, which covers their childhood in 1960s Greece to their deaths in a 1980s Sicilian diving competition, is a cult-classic in the diving fraternity, and became one of France's most commercially successful films (although an adaptation for US release was a commercial failure in that country). President of France, Jacques Chirac, referred to the film in describing Mayol, after his death in 2001, as having been an enduring symbol for the "Big Blue" generation.
The Big Blue, also known as The City Derby, is a match in Australia's premier soccer competition, the A-League. It is contested between rivals Sydney FC!Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory!Melbourne Victory. While the main colour of both teams are shades of the colour blue, in Australian English the word "blue" can also mean "a fight, brawl or heated argument".
History
Regional rivals
Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory FC were destined to become major rivals at the inception of the A-League due to the historic regional rivalry between the cities that each represent. At the time, the A-League operated under the "one-team, one-city" model, so the rivalry was almost instantaneous. The cities of Sydney and Melbourne have had a long-standing rivalry that dates back to pre-Federation Australia. Such was the rivalry, that neither city was chosen as the capital of Australia when federation occurred in 1901. Instead Melbourne served as a temporary capital until the permanent capital of Canberra, that was to be created closer to Sydney, was established. To this day, the two cities are generally competing for bragging rights to be Australia's premier city. Both believe they lay claim to this right as Sydney has been named world's best city by Condé Nast Traveler and Melbourne has been named world's most liveable city by The Economist.The Big Blue generally attracts some of the largest crowds and TV audiences of the regular season. Sydney and Melbourne are the two largest cities in Australia, with Sydney FC and Victory two of the league's most supported clubs and the rivalry was sparked by a number of highly competitive meetings between the two teams in early seasons.
The Big Blue charts the competition and friendship between Jacques and Enzo first in their youth, and then when they meet again at the World Free Diving Championships in Sicily years later. A dreamy adolescent, Jacques (Jean-Marc Barr, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark) has grown into a solitary man, caught between the solidity of the real world and the spiritual beckoning of "the big blue"—and in particular the dolphins swimming below. He possesses a unique connection to the sea, the ability to slow his heartbeat and circulation on deep dives, a phenomenon previously only observed in whales and dolphins. Enzo (Jean Reno, Leon: The Professional, Ronin), however, has become the World Champion at his sport with a very different approach. Their rivalry reignited, the pair spur each other...

Big Blue Tractor - Harvest Assembly Song
Say hello to the Big Blue Tractor and sing along as you spend some time on the farm harvesting all sorts of fun vegetables and, with all the words on screen, it’s easy to imagine playing in those muddy fields.
In the UK, harvest season is still the time when many crops are gathered from the fields, berries collected from the bushes, and food is at its most plentiful before the leaner times of late autumn and winter.

The Big Blue charts the competition and friendship between Jacques and Enzo first in their youth, and then when they meet again at the World Free Diving Championships in Sicily years later. A dreamy adolescent, Jacques (Jean-Marc Barr, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark) has grown into a solitary man, caught between the solidity of the real world and the spiritual beckoning of "the big blue"—and in particular the dolphins swimming below. He possesses a unique connection to the sea, the ability to slow his heartbeat and circulation on deep dives, a phenomenon previously only observed in whales and dolphins. Enzo (Jean Reno, Leon: The Professional, Ronin), however, has become the World Champion at his sport with a very different approach. Their rivalry reignited, the pair spur each other on to deeper and deadlier dives. Besson’s first English language production is a story of extremes; of love and solitude, friendship and rivalry, life and death.

The Big Blue (released in some countries under the French title Le Grand Bleu) is a 1988 English-language film in the French Cinéma du look visual style, made by French director Luc Besson. The film is a heavily fictionalized and dramatized story of the friendship and sporting rivalry between two leading contemporary champion free divers in the 20th century: Jacques Mayol (played by Jean-Marc Barr) and Enzo Maiorca (renamed to "Enzo Molinari" and played by Jean Reno), and Mayol's fictionalized relationship with his girlfriend Johana Baker (played by Rosanna Arquette).

President of France, Jacques Chirac, referred to the film in describing Mayol, after his death in 2001, as having been an enduring symbol for the "Big Blue" generation.
So now let us sing of what remains There shall be stillness in our hearts There shall be a sweetness in our lives, bye and bye. There's a beach I know at the edge of the world, mist rising up from the breaking waves towards the cliffs, as green as god. We'll be flying for the sake of flying, singing for the sake of singing, looking back down on the lonely world - dive, dive, diving down Into the big blue we shall lose ourselves, gone are the doubts and the fear of falling - hate is a curse lifted from our shoulders, we never meant it in the way they thought. If we hold our nerve, they will travel right over us; they'll be going so fast they will never even notice us. We'll be flying for the sake of flying - singing for the sake of singing, looking back down on the lonely world - dive, dive, dive Into the big blue we shall lose ourselves, gone are the doubts and the fear of falling - hate is a curse lifted from our shoulders, we never meant it in the way they thought. Time to die, and die, and die again; doors closing in empty houses; time to roll, and roll, and roll again - and all I hear is the diesel roaring. Just like a people put to flight, all blown out in the endless dust storms, into the West and the rolling hills, to dive, dive, dive again and Into the big blue we shall lose ourselves
