in the wee hours. It's sheer uniqueness, eccentricity and whimsy is very entertaining. This is actually the second time I've watched this movie. I like it and it's humor. My son who's also an artist wants to add this to his collection of movies.
It's like watching a cartoon but it's not. I like it for it's brilliant, psychedelic surrealism. Very artistic.
Oh and if you have not seen this movie, there's an element of surprise.... watch it and see for yourself. ;-)
Bill Murray stars as Steve Zissou, an eccentric oceanographer and head of "Team Zissou." The story follows them as Zissou sets out on an illegal mission to track down and kill a "jaguar shark" who ate his documentarian partner on a previous sea adventure. Zissou must also deal with a beautiful journalist (Cate Blanchett) who is working on a story about him and with a new member of the team who may actually be his long-lost son (Owen Wilson).
I also like this one particular guy (Seu Jorge) in the movie who always plays the guitar and sings
Brazilian songs. I love Brazilian music especially the bossas, sambas and Brazilian jazz. Some of the songs he sang in the movie where covers of David Bowie classics.Here's a clip of the movie....
Seu Jorge was born and raised in the favelas of Rio like the characters in Cidade de Deus.
His album "Samba Esporte Fino" became the 1999 album of the year in Brazil.
His musical talents adorn the soundtrack for "The Life Aquatic" with covers of David Bowie songs Rebel Rebel and Starman and many other innovative tracks.
Here's a nice video of Seu Jorge with a few actors in the movie having bit parts...
