Jacques-Yves Cousteau was one of the 20th century\u2019s great explorers, a filmmaker and beloved<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>adventurer who documented the exotic wonders below the ocean with pioneering equipment that<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>yielded a Cannes Film Festival-winning film, two Academy Awards , and a pair of iconic and long-running<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>television shows, \u201cThe Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau\u201d and \u201cThe Cousteau Odyssey.\u201d His work became synonymous with life on the sea and on his famous boat, the Calypso. He authored over 50 books on his aquatic life and invented the Aqua-Lung, advancing the boundaries of scuba diving. Yet, it was as an environmentalist that Cousteau would have his most lasting impacts, alerting the world about the warming oceans decades before the climate crisis made headlines. Instrumental in protecting Antarctica and taking part in the first Earth Summit, Cousteau\u2019s insight into what needs to be done for the planet continues to inspire generations.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In <b>BECOMING COUSTEAU<\/b>, from National Geographic Documentary Films, two-time Academy Award- nominated filmmaker LIZ GARBUS (\u201cAll In: The Fight for Democracy,\u201d \u201cWhat Happened, Miss Simone?\u201d) poured through 550 hours of archival material and rarely-seen footage to let Cousteau\u2019s films, words and recollections tell his own story. <b>BECOMING COUSTEAU <\/b>shines a spotlight on the man many of us grew up worshipping yet knew very little about while introducing him to a new generation. After prospecting for oil companies to support his globe-trotting adventuring, he had a late-in-life awakening and became the first great advocate for ocean preservation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cousteau led a somewhat fractured family life, checkered with great loss, but he remained true to his one great love \u2014 the sea. Over 100 hours of audio journal entries, interviews and observations from collaborators and crew members add to this inside look at Cousteau. The documentary also chronicles his first wife and collaborator Simone Melchior (known aboard the Calypso as \u201cThe Shepherdess\u201d), his family experiences, his second wife Francine Triplet, the creation of The Cousteau Society and the crucial work they do, and his evolution into one of the most important environmental voices of the 20th century, whose words and images are more vital today than ever.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4841\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Becoming-cousteau1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"714\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Becoming-cousteau1.png 714w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Becoming-cousteau1-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Becoming-cousteau1-696x926.png 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Becoming-cousteau1-316x420.png 316w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>CRUSADING FOR THE PLANET<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Since early in his career, Cousteau sounded alarm bells for world leaders and humanity as a whole to address the planetary crisis he saw on the horizon, and he and Philippe often noted how warning signs were all around them in the water. In November 1971, Cousteau published an op-ed in The New York Times headlined \u201cOur Oceans are Dying.\u201d That same year he went to Washington, D.C., to testify about the sea in distress, saying, \u201cIn the past 30 years, I have been disturbed to find the original fauna of the continental shelf has been destroyed. We are facing the destruction of the ocean.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In his 1975 film \u201cVoyage to the Edge of the World,\u201d chronicling The Cousteau Society\u2019s four-month expedition to Antarctica in 1972, Cousteau described gaps in the ice and the sound of glaciers breaking from warm temperatures. \u201cCousteau was a huge part of the creation of the environmental movement of the 1960s and \u201870s,\u201d says Garbus. \u201cThe myth of Cassandra is one we evoked many times as we made the film. Jacques-Yves and Philippe literally felt the waters in the Antarctic being hotter from when they were there previously. They could feel it on their bodies before anyone used the term global warming. They truly were the canary in the coal mine, telling the world, \u2018We are not properly addressing this problem.\u2019 That became such a large part of the work of The Cousteau Society, and what Jacques-Yves dedicated the rest of his life to.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tragically, Philippe Cousteau wouldn\u2019t be part of that. In 1979, at age 38, Philippe was killed when a plane he was piloting crashed in the Tagus River near Lisbon, Portugal. As young boys, Philippe and his older brother, Jean-Michel, learned to dive, and Philippe studied to be a cinematographer like his father. Grief over his younger son spurred Jacques-Yves Cousteau to champion even more for environmental causes, which were so important to Philippe.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI think Philippe\u2019s death recentered that message for Cousteau,\u201d says Garbus. \u201cPhilippe was very passionate about environmental protection, as was his father. But the loss of a child will, of course, change anyone profoundly, and you can see it in Jacques-Yves\u2019 work and how devoted he became to this mission, pouring all of his heart into The Cousteau Society and its work.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cousteau also had to come to terms at that time with the way diving expeditions were funded in the 1950s and early \u201860s \u2014 including by British Petroleum, which used expeditions to seek locations to drill for oil on the seafloor \u2014 and the way his crew, at times, dealt with the natural world.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIn some of the early films, the cavalier attitude with which the Calypso sailors approached the undersea life and architecture haunted Cousteau later on,\u201d says Garbus. \u201cIn <b>BECOMING COUSTEAU<\/b>, we have a clip of him speaking about watching a scene in \u2018The Silent World\u2019 in which the crew quite brutally kill a shark that had been attacking a pod of dolphins, and regretting how areas of the Red Sea were blown up to see what kinds of sea life would rise to the surface. He wouldn\u2019t re-edit the film because it was a testament to the time, but he wanted to get the message across that he now deeply regretted those scenes.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cCousteau opened up this wonderful world to us, but paradoxically it became a Pandora\u2019s box of exploration and exploitation,\u201d continues Garbus. \u201cIn the 1950s, there just wasn\u2019t a full understanding of environmental sciences the way there is in 2021, and there certainly wasn\u2019t the same understanding of the effects of drilling on the ocean floor. But Cousteau did realize at a certain point that he had to stop taking that money, which is when he focused on getting money from TV to fund his explorations.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The film also details how late in life Cousteau addressed personal issues, including Simone\u2019s death from cancer at age 71 in 1990, and his second marriage to Francine Triplet, shortly afterward, in 1991. (Prior to getting married, Cousteau and Francine had two children, Diane and Pierre-Yves. Francine has continued to guide The Cousteau Society.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Most affectingly, Cousteau wrestled with growing pessimism about humanity\u2019s ability to act in time to save the environment, which existed in tandem with his hopefulness. \u201cFrom the accounts of several of his friends, co-authors and crew members, there was definitely a sense of despair in Cousteau about not enough being done, but he was also encouraged because an environmental movement was born \u2014 the beginning of a climate consciousness \u2014 and he was a huge part of it,\u201d says Garbus. \u201cWhat he hoped for most was that the next generation would pick up the baton.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In 1991, Cousteau\u2019s tireless efforts to preserve the Antarctic resulted in a historic agreement by the United States and 26 other nations to leave that continent untouched for 50 years and prohibit mineral resource activities. In Rio de Janeiro in 1992, Cousteau and The Cousteau Society helped make possible the first United Nations Conference on Environment and Development \u2014 also known as the Earth Summit \u2014 which brought together 170 nations6 and was called \u201cThe most important conference ever on the environment.\u201d In the official photograph from that event, seen in <b>BECOMING COUSTEAU<\/b>, the indefatigable explorer is the only person in the picture who was not a head of state.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cJacques Cousteau was, at the time of the first Earth Summit, one of the most recognizable faces on the planet \u2014 the person Americans said they would most want to meet besides the President \u2014 and because of his influence and celebrity, he was able to bring world leaders together,\u201d says Garbus. \u201cAn explorer who <i>wasn\u2019t <\/i>also a TV star could not have made that happen. And Cousteau was quite aware of that; he\u2019d get pushback for not being a \u2018proper scientist.\u2019 But he would say, \u2018I\u2019m not a \u2018proper scientist\u2019 \u2014 I\u2019m a filmmaker, a storyteller and an innovator.\u2019 His celebrity and popularity enabled a growing global awareness of the preciousness and precariousness of the undersea world.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At the time of his death, on June 25, 1997, at age 87 at his home in Paris, Cousteau occupied a rare spot in the world\u2019s consciousness. The Cousteau Society continues his mission to save aquatic life, to fight for the planet, and endeavor to protect the oceans that Cousteau loved and which he inspired others to love.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4835\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Liz-Garbus.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Liz-Garbus.png 510w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Liz-Garbus-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Liz-Garbus-282x420.png 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Liz Garbus, Director, Producer<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Two-time Academy Award\u00ae nominee (\u201cThe Farm: Angola, USA,\u201d \u201cWhat Happened, Miss Simone?\u201d), two-time Emmy\u00ae winner (Directing, Drama Series, and Directing, Nonfiction Programming), Peabody winner (\u201cA Dangerous Son\u201d<i>)<\/i>, GRAMMY\u00ae nominee (\u201cWhat Happened, Miss Simone?\u201d), DGA nominee (\u201cWhat Happened, Miss Simone?\u201d) and BAFTA- nominated (\u201cReporting Trump\u2019s First Year: The Fourth Estate\u201d), director Liz Garbus is one of America\u2019s most celebrated filmmakers, renowned for her documentary work and also for her breakthrough scripted debut.
