JULIE:
"Ama is a silent film. It tells a story everyone can interpret in their own way, based on their own experience. There is no imposition, only suggestions.
I wanted to share my biggest pain in this life with this film. For this is not too crude, I covered it with grace. To make it not too heavy, I plunged it into the water.
I dedicate this film to all the women of the world."
Julie
JULIE:
"Ama est un film sans parole qui raconte une histoire que chacun peut interpréter à sa manière, selon son propre vécu, tout est suggéré, rien n’est imposé.
J’ai voulu mettre dans ce film ma plus grande douleur en ce monde. Pour qu’elle ne soit pas trop crue je l’ai enrobée de grâce. Pour qu’elle ne soit pas trop lourde je l’ai plongée dans l’eau.
Je dédie ce film à toutes les femmes du monde."

I love how she ascending and stops just below the surface where the reflection is and exhales. As if she’s not sure she wants to move on. That’s what it reminds me of. That moment when your finally ready to move on from grief but you take one last look back afraid if you let go of it, your completely letting go of someone or some dream with it

Interpretation aside this performance is/was amazing. As a professional diver I can and will say is that what this woman did in 20 feet of water is incredibly difficult. How she maintained neutral buoyancy through out the performance is beyond me and my 40 years of diving.

@rfwillett2424 4 года назад

That's what has me puzzled.

@ryangenereaux1922 4 года назад

Maybe she was weighted a little. The only way I could maintain that rate of sinking would be to have my lungs half-filled with air, which would require me to take breaths more frequently.

@zanedavid1 4 года назад

@@rfwillett2424 It has most of us very puzzled. Very puzzled indeed...spent some quality bar time swilling beer disguising the possibilities with my work mates. Still, it was a breathtaking performance - pun intended. It is one of two of the great dive films made to date - the other was the girl with the shark .

Nearly five years ago I used to dance underwater, too. This indescribable feeling of freedom of movement, emotion flowing through every fibre of your being... I had one big fear left, and it was opening my eyes underwater, but I overcame it, and it added such depth to the whole... Then after I spent two months in shock, followed by recovery from severe psychological trauma, up to this day I hate the touch of water, even showering became a challenge to overcome. I don't even have a bathing suit of any kind, and I just stopped going into any water. Sometimes I force myself into a bath, but it's like torture, and so far nothing I tried helped... And now I land on this channel, and see this, after the "Longest Breath" and I remember the whales, too. Their energy... The vast unknowns of Planet Ocean! The beauty a n d the sadness. And it feels like soul retrieval of sorts. I'm actually crying, and I haven't been able to do that in a long time as well. I apologize for this long comment... But mefeels that knowing how you moved your audience, moved their very soul, through the depth of your own... is worthy of sharing. Thank you Julie! Thank you Guillaume! I have new things to think about...

I’m surprised not many people understood the meaning behind the video, Julie said this video was a personal project about dealing with pain. At the start of the video she’s cradling her stomach, at the end of the video it says in dedication to her tiniest daughter. She mostly likely lost a child and this video is her expressing the loss.

@susie3120 5 лет назад

that was my thought also.

@laefe91 5 лет назад

There was some cradling in the coreography as well

@AliZhao 5 лет назад

From the video description: "everyone can interpret in their own way, based on their own experience. There is no imposition, only suggestions." Loss of a child might've been her pain, but I think it's choreographed in a way that it can be relatable to all women. There's a lot going on in the choreography, more than just cradling. Some of the movements can be interpreted as dealing with depression or recovery from an illness. The overall story of the video seems to be overcoming obstacles in general, whatever they may be. With each jump, she jumped higher and with more confidence. I especially liked the end. It could be interpreted as someone who felt like they were suffocating or who was holding their breath out of fear or who has been under a lot of stress being able to breathe again.

My interpretation of the video: The rain symbolize tears. When you are in the rain no tears are visible. Heavy rain means a lot of tears. When she is in the water it is like she is having a hard time. Why she is in the water? Because when you are having a hard time in life you often feel like you cannot breathe. In the water you also cannot breathe. She is dancing in the water slowly, she is scared, but she dances gracefully. She is making art out of pain. She's not complaining about circumstances, she takes advantage of them. The rain stops. She falls to the bottom of the pool but then she looks up and is slowly going up. To the surface. She suffered for long. She needs to breathe again. Buy she doesn't reach the top completely. You don't get rid of the pain completely. There will be times when you are going to be in pain again. The rain will come back again. But it's okay. Because even the bad thing can be good for something. You can make something amazing out of your pain. Just don't forget to take a moment to breathe, because of not you could drown in a water of pain. 😀 well I just wrote what came to my mind while watching this. Also I am fascinated by this video. Amazing work. 💙

@dalethebelldiver7740 5 лет назад

This is not easy to do even in short takes. It takes a lot of practice to put breathing on the back burner while performing or doing any task unless you are super focused on that task and not breathing. The risk is building up too much PPCO2 and blacking out. I know the effects of that one; first hand. It would be interesting to watch the action on the surface and her pool support and this looks like the NASA tank.

Having gone through a miscarriage myself, I have a much better understanding of the choice in movements. She captures both the grief, and the beautiful short life of a human growing in the womb. Each leap higher and higher, the baby becoming more and more beautiful with each passing moment, until around 4:40 there is a violent end to a fight for life. Then there is the mom in between these sequences trying to move forward in life, while the mind is still living in the past by moving backwards. I lost my composure at 4:53. And then when the lifeless makes its way out by rising towards the surface. But never got a chance to take their first breath. both heart wrenching and hauntingly beautiful. Thank you, Julie and the rest of the production team.

My God, what beauty, what artistry, what feeling.... mesmerising.... I cannot think of a word that can even do it justice. I imagine she went down several times (when there were scene shifts), though when she rose the amount of air that was expelled from her lungs was staggering. I cannot imagine how she maintained neutral buoyancy. What a mighty work this is. Everyone in the world should see this and have the opportunity to be moved by it.

@toothpullerboy 3 месяца назад

When it comes to neutral buoyancy, the depth is the secret. You couldn’t do this in shallow water without weights- too much volume in your lungs. However, the deeper you go (without scuba gear) the more your chest gets squeezed by the pressure. Eventually the volume of your chest get small enough that you you get to neutral buoyancy, or even start to sink.

Julie Gautier's video is simply amazing! "AMA" stands for "Japanese free divers" and it shows diver Julie Gautier gracefully dancing underwater, without scuba gear, just holding her breath. She performs elegant and fluid movements while holding her breath, creating a visually stunning experience. The video is a tribute to the tradition of Japanese female divers, known as "Ama", who collect pearls and seafood from the seabed. The music and cinematography are also breathtaking.

@livelaughhowdy 2 года назад

Put the artistry and the beauty of this aside for a second, i just want to say i have immense respect for this woman. She danced i don't know how many meters under water, where you can easily get light headed and stressed out. Even if they had an oxygen mask (or whatever that's called) ready underwater, it is still stressful to dance, shoot, be underwater and constantly have a break to literally breathe. Besides all that she was also telling a story, about herself, which obviously must be very emotional for her. And she was showing her biggest pain in her life as a form of art and dance underwater. That must be so hard, to tell your story underwater (where you're already stressed and under physical pressure) because telling that story must have immense meaning for her and it probably made her really emotional and brought back not so pretty memories. Imagine experiencing that amount of emotion underwater, where you have to dance and focus on holding your breath and balancing the pressure. Wow

@Demobius Год назад

Yes, the dance was a technical and physical tour de force. She must have had weights stitched into her dress to achieve the negative buoyancy necessary to do those moves. Where did they find that tank? Achieving such clarity of water is not easy, and then there is the challenge of lighting. Either she waited for the bubbles to clear or she collected her breath so it didn't enter the water. She had shed the weights for the ascent at the end, then exhaled enough air to reach neutral buoyancy before she reached the surface. She is a true artist, opening our eyes to the meaning of life.

The subtleness, the kindness, the expression of deepest feelings, the inner pain, the utmost love, the final submission to our fate as mortals, all flourishing from the slow dance, the water hindering your desire to fly high, to jump to the heavens. How touching, how overwhelming this project is! Kindly excuse the awkward term "project", this is Art, Creation, Heart, Soul. I loved you. Your tiniest daughter (as well as the rest of your children) must be feeling very proud, very privileged to have such a mother. I would be honored to see more of you, if available.

Des moments yang qui incitent les guerriers morts à se revivifier éternellement à la source, par petites gorgées, en douceurs tellement attendues - et il y a des moments non révélés, à peine suggérés, des moments sombres comme le sud des rivières et l’eau des torrents de la Montagne, des moments où le froid des nuages provoque la pluie, la féminité, l’ombre des sous-bois et suggère en pastilles colorées la lumière tapie, il y a des moments en soi, internels, si forts de réceptivité intense que seule la grue blanche peut témoigner du calme absolu, de la pureté et de la loyauté qui se dégagent de la grâce employée à créer par l’artiste la tendresse des eaux, le souffle des sirènes, l’eau des remous silencieux dans l’onde comme des tempêtes non advenues.

@evisceron -- are you lying? -or merely misinformed? Either way, you couldn't be more wrong; it's *not* alcohol; it's water. Clearly, you have no idea of what being submerged in a pool of alcohol would do to a human body. Hint: one of the first things it would do is to destroy anyone's open eyes within a few moments. Nor do you have any idea how much liquid the Y-40 Pool holds. In fact, it's 4,300 cubic meters of water; that's 4,300,000 liters of liquid, or 1.36 million gallons. I doubt that much clear alcohol is produced in the entire world in a year. And a pool filled with clear alcohol would be constantly evaporating, which would not only require constant re-filling, but the fumes as it evaporated would be caustic to anyone at the surface, not to mention flammable. TL;DR: stop bullshitting.

Hauntingly beautiful and powerful...i have been reading on the Ama pearl drivers in Japan when i came across this video. I dont even know how to express what i felt when i watched it. All this time, ive wanted to know what its like to be immersed fully in the water and also in sync with it. This video is the answer. The story, the movements, everything is alot of work and i really really respect her for this video and performance. God bless her.

I hope this isn’t the case for Julie, but as someone who identifies with some of the insinuations this looks like how I felt when I lost my pregnancies. Holding an empty womb, feeling heavy and alone cause even though both partners suffered a loss only your body lingers with the physical Pain fighting to heal.....but at some point finally feeling able to breathe in finding acceptance. Well this is what my story looked like anyway.

Everything about it works together so beautifully, and though I don't claim to understand the meaning, I feel the pain and I'm touched by it.

Кристальная поэзия. Такая, какую может передать лишь танец - никаких слов, лишь их живой смысл. Эмоции, тонко выверенные в движениях, история, которую они рассказывают и музыка сливаются воедино в безвоздушном пространстве, сотворяя нечто удивительное. И прекрасное, бесконечно прекрасное. Это пример искусства таким, каким я его вижу: внимательным, хрупким и невероятным, и лишь на ничтожное мгновение существенным. Но это мгновение можно сохранить навсегда

@KeithOlson Год назад

Oof. This hit deep. This is the story of *SO* many addicts, fighting to dance under a tremendous weight pushing at them from all directions that others can't even see that makes it exhausting to even *move.* Then, in recovery, they are shown that they don't have to drown beneath the suffocating hopelessness that envelopes them, so they start to fight to rise above it. ...and, for some, the fight to escape comes too late; they are overwhelmed almost within reach of freedom.

@naturalphenomenon1402 2 года назад

So deep and meaningful. Thank you for making this. I imagine the the aquatic environment to represent the womb. The woman begins to move as the child life as a fetus begins. Growth, development, beautifully woven together. The intensity increases with the onset of labor. There is a struggle. The child is lost as the woman lies down again and the music fades. But her soul awakes as she swims up towards the light. While her physical body remains below the surface between the physical and spiritual realm, her breath, her spirit, rises and breaches the surface. She lives in the realm beyond our own. So beautiful. So sad. And so full of love ❤.

@barryhottel8078 Год назад

You got this spot on

@lulunannan2006 Год назад

I agree with most of your interpretations. However, I want to stress that the dancer represents both the baby and the mother, the dance represents both the fetus' gestation and the mother's labor, and the final ascension represents both birth and death. The aquatic environment also suggests a Christian subtext; it is the medium that forms a New Trinity, one of the mother, the daughter, and the spirit. The dancer's posture in the final ascension--an enactment of transcendence and redemption--seems to invoke a feminine version of the image of Jesus in crucifixion.

@Diamore9 Год назад

I agree. Some smaller details... The neckholder of the swimsuit that she has on forms an 'X' in the back. The color black stands for mourning. At the beginning there's two circles on the wall, towards the end three circles in total.

@ceciliagincho6806 Год назад

This is so amazing... there are no enough adjectives to express the performance and feelings behind it - the feelings of Julie as much as the feelings of the expectators. It touches something deep in me as deep is the water itself. Water absorbs and carries feelings, and I wonder... what that water in the video assimilated through this performance. There's something sacred in there and the water is the temple that holds - and solves - giving way to absolution as she rises swiftly to the surface. When I look at these scenes, what I perceive is a story of struggle, suffering and effort - but not devoid of grace. Grace and love are there in each motion of body and soul. Grace and love are there towards the path to ascension. 💚💦🌌

В этом есть скрытый смысл. Жизнь, борьба со страстями в одиночестве, в условиях недостатка живительного воздуха. Отделение души в движении к Небу. И ожидание своей участи... Это проповедь.
