The Deepest Breath

Jun 28, 2024 8:20 PM

A free diver trains to break a world record with the help of an expert safety diver. This film follows the paths they took to meet at the pinnacle of the free diving world, documenting the rewards and risks of chasing a dream through ocean depths.

I watched this documentary knowing nothing about freedom or the story, and it immediately caught my attention from the opening, which made me angry Another thing that surprised me about the structure of the story was how they captured the idea.

As a serious sport, but how dangerous it actually is to try. It shows you the desires of the players and how long they work for it, making you question the depth of satisfaction beyond passion, knowing that their lives are at stake.

Actually,I often find myself fascinated by people’s interests, but sometimes the thought that holding on to your passion could be the end of it terrifies me. What is it really like to pursue your passion? How often are you willing to do that?

The photos are stunning, great archive footage! It takes you on a diver's beautiful and sometimes terrifying journey from space to underwater.

The interviews are candid and informative enough to give you insight into air sports, while also conveying useful and thought-provoking thoughts about events and how their stories are linked to destiny.

In a Nutshell,its a documentary that tells the story of Saints, Alessia Zecchini and Stephen Keenan, discussing their goals, their lives, their achievements and challenges throughout their careers, the scenery and some beautiful photographs. Director Laura McGann does a great job of capturing Zerchini's work and maintaining the voice without any negative emotions.

Photos of underwater shots are absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. I've always loved documentaries about marine life for their amazing production and shot composition, and "Breathe" has some great underwater scenes. There are very funny and touching, beautiful and emotional scenes throughout. The participants' discussions were understandable, but frankly some of the discussions felt a little strange.

It's amazing to see that real people are there to know every minute of what's going on on the trip, through pictures, recordings and audio recordings. I love how quickly the timeline of this story moves forward. This isn't boring, and it doesn't seem like a big deal. It tells a beautiful story,in a nutshell.

This might be one of the saddest movies I've seen in a long time! I know I'm not the only one crying. I don't think I've ever cried over a documentary before, but I can say that this is a first. 

If you have Netflix subscription, Just Go The damn, watch it.
