- A composition of wildlife footage, archive material and elaborate re-enactments results in a brilliant reconstruction of the life of famed marine biologist and environmental pioneer Jacques Cousteau.
On the trail of the most famous oceanographer of the 20th Century, the team spent two years filming original locations on three different continents, in four different oceans. The film charts how Cousteau’s outlook on the environment changed throughout his many decades at sea around the globe. On his personal journey to enlightenment, he changed from a man who killed sharks in hate and thoughtlessly blew up coral reefs, to a radical environmentalist.
Born over 100 years ago, Cousteau's personality was shaped by his years at sea around the globe. The fact that there are more manatees than ever in Florida is directly due to Cousteau's film "Forgotten Mermaids", which raised awareness and triggered widespread research and conservation efforts for the endangered manatee. "Noah's heir", as the French press called him, publicized his expeditions in films and books. He won an Oscar as best documentary for "World without Sun". He made his first film, "The Silent World" with Louis Malle, which won a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Born 77 here. Watching this great man's shows on TV with my dad will always be a treasured memory. Thank you Jacques and RIP.
Me too, he inspired me to become a marine biologist with PhD, devoting my professional life protecting this precious ecosystem! Sad to see dynamite used for census of reef, which would never be used today.
In 1969 I was 9 and my grandfather would call my mom to tell her Cousteau was on tv, so I'd get excited for Sunday night show, I was in awe, growing up on the ocean I admired his interest and his knowledge of the worlds oceans, he was a hero of mine.

same here but in 1975 and let me tell you the living room floor was a vast ocean for me.
Did u ever become a diver ? That way u would experience it for your self it is an awe
@@FreddyNietzsche. it sure is a beautiful world down there I love it
He was one of my Heroes too . 🤠🖖
Jacques was my inspiration. As a kid my father would ask me what I wanted to be when I got older. I told him, "a Man". After the scolding I told him, " an underwater diver"
Years later, Pops is now gone and I have my advanced SCUBA certification. I have swam underwater in many countries. Simply amazing!
Loved growing up watching Jacques Cousteau it inspired me to become a marine biologist...
💙🐳💙
I grew up with cousteau films, plus the often forgotten Hans Haas. Started diving in 1990, have dived I think all of the sites in your film. Shaab El Rumi, Le Donateur, Port Cros, crystal river. Shaab el Rumi in the 1990s was intact, as when Cousteau was there as when you filmed. You don't need a plastic bottle to find the sharks you go to the point where there is strong current, they will find you. Port Cros there are some big groupers because they stopped the spear fishermen, but the rest is sterile blue water, polluted. There is one place in the mediteranien that you can see what Cousteau saw. Ustica, a reserve off a tiny island near Sicily. It is intact and not polluted. Crystal river, I dived once but since then prefer to snorkel. Manatees, and fish you do not chase, wait quietly they are curious they will sneak up behind you, bump you in the back and look for a caress. Propellers and +5mph speed should be banned in crystal river. We have water jet power systems for boats. But what can we expect from a country that lets adolescents buy AK47 assault rifles.
I loved to watch Cousteau when I was a child. He educated,entertained and celebrated planet earth's beautiful oceans and all the plants and animals who live in and around them. Rest In Peace Mr Jacques Cousteau.
Me too 😊 !!! He was amazing 🤩 !!
Thanks for doing this balanced thoughtful documentary on Jacques Cousteau my hero, who admittedly made huge mistakes along his journey but ultimately found his voice and did so much to call attention to our beautiful ocean environment. I became a marine biologist because of his inspiration to me.
My Dad insisted I suffer through episodes of Cousteau when I was a child. I didn't like it as a kid. Now, I'm an adult and love watching the same thing my Dad enjoyed.
I watched Jacques Cousteau as a child. I learned so much. I watched it in the 60’s.
I love nature documentary. I have respect for those who go through miles for capturing these beautiful moments. This footage deserves more view and recognition🙌
loved this until the closing remarks, to say his family enterprise fell apart or no one has not followed in his footsteps is an incredible understatement. Jean-Michel has done wonders towards education and his grandchildren still carry on the legacy. Pretty ill informed line in the script.
As long as it's under water u could count me in ,I never regret taking recreational diving as my occupation and enjoy commercial diving even more . U guys keeping my love burning 💯👍.
Being underwater for myself is like going to church for others. The peace, beauty and calm it produces in me makes it hard to return to the surface world. To have a carrier in that industry must be amazing 🤩
@@johnberry2877 yr man always peaceful calm , sometimes my divers would think I've fallen asleep down there.
I miss Mr. Cousteau, but I understand his children are continuing his work with the oceans.
Unbelievable beauty 😍
Thanks for your videos I'm from cambodia
17.6.2022.Very good and best.Thank you very much.
That was so nice. It brought back memories from my childhood.
Great video about the great man and very beautiful voice of the film!
Thank you very much! 😊
Every time I hear his name - I see Bill Murray dancing in a swim cap and speedo.😂 if you haven’t seen the movie about Jacques Cousteau, I recommend it
Loved Jacques Cousteau 🙏 and enjoy
Enjoyed all of his videos was a trailblazer family tradition RIP
Thank you.
Thank you learning from mistakes... is fantastic idea.
Thank you so mutch, Jaques Cousteau,wouw,memories!!!!🤿
🇮🇪 very good upload
Is there any way to replant the areas of the manatees that is safe to them an help conservation
please have English subtitle.
One day, when humans are gone and if we haven't destroyed this planet, manatees will walk this Earth and do a better job of looking after it.
8:21 what happened to the complex, that it was destroyed?
10:55 "i wonder which species of fish live here to see and count the differences"...proceeds to blows them all up and count the bodies
Loved his show! The real Aquaman!
Memories are always special. Sometimes we laugh by remembering the days we cried.and we cry by remembering the days we laughed.. That is life
anyone gonna mention, that all the men look exactly like Jaq, in his circle? did they take turns with that lady?
Could anyone tell me what does Vgnore mean?
Vnorry, vno.
There's a whole lot of kids just now finding out that the Spongebob narrator was a reference to some old nature show host.
Yep if there's one thing that's true it's that we the people of this planet sure know how to take care of it.
..borrowing from the mafia-style vernacular, of course.
I'd like to say I watched as a kid...but then... what might this say of my age?..... ouch.
The Man's adventures so many unknown
What he did was amaze and make Brave millions of children. Respect .
I didn't see any large fish, little alone sharks, in the Red Sea, no Barracuda, and so many others, and oddly zero lionfish, even though they have heavily invaded the Red sea and the Mediterranean. By the way, the other name for Manatees is Duogongs not "Sea Cows", unless of course this was shot in 1958, that is when the word dropped from common discourse.

Good, but I think lots of the sounds are artificial effects
7:54 the lady has a massive bruise on her arm, lol they were drinking socializing?
As lifetime professional diver since 1971 - military and commercial oilfield - I read his books at school and held the Captain in great esteem. However, he was a flawed man as most of us are. He's gone but I'm still a commercial diver.
😘👍

Simmer down sea cow. Went off on one there for a minute eh?
Propellers should be illegal, where manatees stay in the winter....I mean it's common sense...plus they should stop polluting these rivers.. I saw a lot of youtubers carry a lot of sun glasses, e-cigs, and trash out of these springs.
j,taime Cousteau
This film is a ridiculous and pompous exploitation of previous underwater scientific work.
Keep your FAITH in Jesus Christ and in yourself.
Just lost all respect for Cousteau, killing for nothing and wasting.
