@@hansolowe19 I guess? 🤷♀️ I'm not American and maybe I'm weird for it or whatever, but if someone pronounces their name a certain way I will do my best to do the same, ask to repeat if needed. it doesn't matter how that name would be pronounced in my language/accent, it's THEIR name and I'll do my best not to butcher it I mean, we are all people but those 2 names came LITERALLY within seconds of each other on the video 🤦♀️
This was awesome! It's wonderful to see the Cousteau family continuing their legacy to protect and advocate for the ocean and it's precious marine life.
At least the CGI was... well, it had CGI. I saw the first two Piranha films and the way they showed a school of them darting toward a victim was to pull a sheet of glass with fish painted on it past an underwater camera.
Wow you guys cut the video just as he was about to follow up on punching a shark "angering the animal". That sounded like he was about to tell you what you should ACTUALLY do during a shark attack
Fabien Cousteau is an awesome guy great to see him in this type of video however the edit spent way too little time on way too many movies. I'd suggest halving the number of movies he talks about so that we can get a bit more in depth since he was clearly talking about them for longer. Or make this a 45 minute video full more commentary on every movie which would be the best 😁
Agreed. Once he started talking about it making sharks more aggressive, I wanted to hear what he had to say what you should do in a scenario like that.
@@nickllama5296 That was my thought exactly! I’ve heard that you should poke them in the eye, if possible in an attack, but have no clue if that’s correct or not.
This man is incredibly knowledgeable but the choice of movies/show and the editing did him no favors. Unlike others in the series we got no discussion just simple, we'll know statements. Everything else was cut off. Stopped half way through
Mythbusters did the Pirates of the Caribbean rowboat. In short, if the boat were heavy enough to counteract the buoyancy of being filled with air to allow two people to hold it underwater like that, there's zero chance they'd be able to move the boat on shore.
Despite my phobia of deep water, I love this guy's approach. I am also in love with the ocean, though I doubt I'll go deep down in my life. Much respect for the marine life as well. 😊
Years ago there was an african Fischerman who survived 3 days in a airpocket on a sunken ship. The Diver's who went in for getting the dead body's out, where scared bc they thought nobody survived. You can see the rescue here on YT. His name is Harrison Okene what a legend .
Lucky for you, thats exactly what he does, he makes ocean docmumentaries just like his father. his grandfather was the one who basically invented ocean exploration as we know it today.
The moment I heard the name Cousteau, I sat up and listened. I grew up watching the TV shows of Jacques many years ago. By the way the liquid breathing in The Abyss was shown for real in one film scene. The pet rat that they put under the liquid was really breathing the oxywater for the camera. The two American divers that were “left behind”? That was murder/suicide. They found their undamaged vests washed up in the north of my state, and the police found diary entries by Irene saying that her husband was acting strangely and was depressed, and even “talked of ending it all somewhere like a diving trip”. Whoa. It’s no mystery anymore.
For the second one there’s no proof it was a murder suicide and even if you personally think it was that doesn’t excuse the gross negligence on the company’s part
Given that the film is not set in the past, though, it does represent a shark that is posited to exist now - ergo, it's a fair point to make, on his part, in highlighting the unreality of it.
I agree having spent a good deal ofmy life on the ocean as a sailor for over 2 decades, the Ocean is beautiful, and captivating however you MUST respect it because it can be violent at times and it has no mercy.
i got to meet this guy when i worked at a sea life museum exhibit years ago. he was super interesting and was the total highlight of my time at that job.
Yes this is what I came here to say too. The liquid may not be used for deep sea diving. And they didn’t use the liquid on Ed Harris in the movie, he just held his breath. But the rat was actually put in oxygenated liquid because it does exist.
I’m very fascinated by the ocean and life underwater. Ever since I learned that we’ve documented more about Space than the Earth’s oceans, I knew the sea would be far more incredible. I’d even take going in a submersible more than a space shuttle. I hope I can do some form of underwater exploration in the future.
imagine introducing the grandson of jaques cousteau as "Ocean Explorer" wtf.... just say it: "absolute legend and son of a legend breaking down ocean scenes"
I remember reading a sci-fi book written in 1960 but set in 2013 called "Secret Under the Sea" set in an undersea lab where the characters had small "atom powered" mouthpieces that functioned as gills and allowed someone to stay underwater indefinitely, which the author predicted were-would-be? invented in the 80's. I'm still waiting.
They had a battery version about 10 years ago as a GoFundMe or Kickstarter. Got trashed pretty bad because of the sheer physics of it. The flow needed to get enough oxygen to breathe out of the sea water would either shove the device down your throat or rip it off your body along with your face of strapped on. And enough battery power to run a couple of seconds.
The Titanic representation isnt "a fairly accurate visual", it's literally real footage of the Titanic wreckage. James Cameron is obsessed with sea exploration, he spent months on months with many dives to the wreckage recording video for the film.
I don't know whether or not he knows that, but he's not saying that its a fairly accurate representation of titanic. He continues to say it's fairly accurate lighting for what it would look like, depending on the light that day and the wreckage, which is still a valid point considering how much Hollywood movies do in post production.
I kind of wish that they showed him Underwater. It's a popcorn movie like the Meg, but I think it's a lot more grounded. Also, more people should watch it. Its basically a happy medium between Alien and Aliens, except, well, underwater. And Kristin Stewart is pretty good as the Ripley-like character.
He's spot on about the scuba tank in Jaws. Mythbusters covered it. On the upside down boat he was right to worry about the buoyancy and the weight of the boat. Mythbusters covered that too, and it would take an enormous amount of weight to keep the boat at the bottom. Great scene, but not something you can do practically.
Mythbusters tried SO HARD TO BLOW UP A SHARK by shooting an air tank and it just can't be done, even with a .50 cal sniper rifle, the Mythbusters had to resort to C4 to blow up a shark like in Jaws. I'm not complaining though, as Jamie said, "when in doubt, C4"
@@cleverusername9369 They couldn't blow it up, but once shot, the air tank did shoot through the model shark like a rocket and destroy it. Presumably it would have also rocketed through a real shark's body and killed it. So it wouldn't have happened exactly like in the movie, but it would have killed Jaws.
Giant Squid Encounter Note: In one of the expeditions where a crew first filmed an alive giant squid, the squid actually did wrap its tentacles around a probe and tug. It did not cause any harm, but it has already shown to be curious and display behavior similar to folklore.
It's been a while since I read up on it, but my understanding is that you can breath it, but it puts a lot of stress on your system and also gives you cancer. So... depends on your definition of "success" I guess.
Grandchild of OG subrarine explorer Jaques Cousteau, no better presenter for this kind of break down. But how could you get the name wrong when he says it right in the first line.
I think that's on the interviewers, it seems like they don't give clear context to all clips when they show them, which means the interviewees sometimes say things that are silly if you know the whole movie.
@@goodgame3374 You'd think however given his job he'd know of the existence of megs and he even says the movie's title which is literally "the meg". 2 and 2, ya know?
I think at 11:54 - the reason we are so amazed and awed at things like the giant squid is because even as we have done lots of things to get farther in space- we still have yet to explore an even greater amount of the ocean.
Hello!! I am an advanced open water diver!! And I freaking loved every moment of this some of his reactions were just stellar! what an awesome man I’m sure his (grandfather (rip) is absolutely stunningly proud!
This seems like it's trying to cram in as many clips as possible and is really poorly edited to the point where all of his sentences ending each clip are left hanging
I had the pleasure of meeting Jean-Michel Cousteau when I was 17 while aboard The Paul Gauguin in Tahiti. He gave me some good life advice, at the time I didn’t really appreciate the experience for what it was. Now that I’m older and wiser (the ripe age of 28) I can see how amazing that chance meeting was!
Nice one, only clip that bothered me a little was about Titanic "Could be real, looks like what you could expect.".. The Titanic was all real submersible robot footage, they had to have 3 submersibles to have two to cast light on the wreck while the third filmed.
seeing yellow submarine made me think of the parody i heard a kid in my fourth grade class sing that went "we all live in a yellow submarine, bubblegum machine, ripped tangerine." that was the only version i had heard for YEARS and now listening to the actual words feels unnatural.
1:20 I would've liked if he would've mentioned that an important part of that underwater breathing is the fact, that the air bubble in the boat is actually pressurized by the water, otherwise your lungs would not be capable of expanding against the water pressure. Like going there and breath withj through a hose to the surface you would not be able to breath in, just because the water pressure on your lungs is way to strong.
Liked his critiques **sooooo much**--complimentary when it was merited, humorous & sarcastic when some scenes were just, well--ridiculous ("Oh boy", "Siiigh--"what to say about this clip??", "They look like a bunch of yahoo divers", "secondly--sharks don't yawn like this underwater") Glad that he didn't make a big to-do about being the grandson of Jacques Cousteau..
If Atlantis really did exist. I personally think it did. The event that caused it to sink coupled with the sinking itself would've left completely unrecognizable as anything but inconclusive ruins that vaguely resemble something human made.
