## Description

Internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) and his crew - Team Zissou - set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly nonexistent Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou's partner during the documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline copilot (Owen Wilson); a pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett); and Zissou's estranged wife, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston). Wes Anderson (Rushmore) has assembled an all-star cast that also includes Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Gambon, Noah Taylor, Seu Jorge, and Bud Cort for this wildly original adventure comedy.

Review: What a Great Movie! Possible top 10. Interesting feel good. - The Life Aquatic is a great movie that focusing on a primary plot moving element which is ultimately to take revenge on an unknown sea shark doubly named the "Jaguar Shark", which ate the friend of protagonist Steve Zissou. The movie has many whimsical almost magical notes that allow the viewer to live in the world director, Wes Anderson, has created to suite his requirements of finding the shark and having several character sub plots for several characters we slowly start to know, understand, and finally connect with. Steve Zissou is the man we find ourselves rooting for especially. He is a man that has followed his passion his whole life and appears to be very well traveled, intelligent, and obsessed with creating the environment to document his every adventure with a full camera and sea faring crew including 6 unnamed interns. Positioning the movie as a documentary to find and kill this Jaguar Shark, Anderson allows the movie to be slightly poetic and having a need to make for a good movie. One of Zissou's crew members is a full time Soundboard expert for the documentary that plays David Bowie songs with his acoustic guitar, adding to the whimsical feel. The movie also strives to give the audience a good feeling. That Zissou, despite going through depression and older age, seems to be a constant driving force for the crew, but in his own way which includes a focus on very detailed oriented and well thought out plans essential to make his mission a complete success. For instance, a short break in the movie occurs for Zissou to explain his sea-faring ship to the new member of his crew, his son, which is slowly verified throughout the course of the film. As Zissou takes us through his ship he explains, that when he purchased the boat, and for how much; and a small fact about each room. The kitchen, he explains has the most technological instruments on the ship. By saying that piece of seemingly insignificant information actually tells the viewer that he takes high importance in the simple pleasures in life of having high quality food. However, you never see the crew eat, or is this fact ever mentioned again. This gives that reader a sliver of information that this crew eats well, and divulges what Zissou's priorities are or that he works hard to provide a meaningful and generally happy life. The movie also has many sub plot moving points and many insignificant plot points that are just fun to watch but upon further glance it's these scenes that give insight that could have only been narrated. One instance, is when Zissou accepts a gift of the multicolored miniature sea horse that was given to Zissou by the first mate's son. Through a course of events the bag, which held this marvelous creature, was punctured. The quick thinking Zissou grabs a champagne glass with seamless hesitation and fills the sea horse and it's water into the champagne glass and rising it above his head as he makes his exit through the busy room. The other insignificant scene/character includes the two albino dolphins which have been outfitted with video cameras to swim aside the ship giving some reconnaissance to the control room within the ship's hull. Zissou constantly doubts the effectiveness of these two dolphins claiming them to be worthless. Later in the film, however, these dolphins play in a minor part for a laugh in the movie giving the viewer the chance to see the dolphin find something, and Zissou not quite catching it. One more instance of the insignificant plot points are the glowing jellyfish that drifted onto the beach when the tide pulled back. Hundreds of glowing jellyfish illuminate the beach. Ned, Zissou's so-called son, holds that microphone boom for Zissou's documentary. The scene is used to allow Zissou to allow Ned to enter a scene in his documentary when Ned asked `why do the jellyfish glow'. The viewer gets more insight into Zissou's want to get to know his son. It becomes more relevant when we find out that Zissou knew he had a son since he was born, and never made an effort to find him earlier in his life. Which begs the question, why is Zissou trying to rekindle the relationship, and why is Ned continuing to accept the fact while he continues to be a member of the Zissou crew. The answer seems to be ideals and a sense of adventure for the complete unknown with well-developed story themes with a different almost child-like view on life while they prepare and hunt for the Jaguar Shark.
Review: A must watch!!! - Incredible, cult classic, iconic stunning film!
