Ocean Explorer Breaks Down 24 Ocean Scenes From Movies & TV | WIRED - Розваги
he: "my name is fah-bYEn cousteau"
she: "fEY-bien"
like why 😭
Murica?
@@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 🤦♀️
Was just about to say. So bad.
😂That grated on my nerves instantly! I almost clicked out haha
Yeah that was so jarring lmao. Like, it's a voiceover. He just said it. Say his name right.
this guy is literally Jacques Cousteau's grandchild. it was in his destiny to be on this show.
they not even going to mention it?
I audibly gasped when I heard Cousteau
@@robertblask6815 I mean, if you knew who Jacques Cousteau was, you can probably guess this gentleman is related.
Which one of the Jacques cousteau's children is he the child of?
@Robert Blask he alluded to it, kinda.
“Underwater explosions have the potential to be quite devastating.” A polite way of saying you’re dead. Such a gentleman.
That is an immaculate sweater. A+. Oh, and his commentary was top-notch, too. :D
Absolutely true! On all accounts
Bonus points for being able to say "safety sausage" with a straight face. 😏
@Little Timmy He's just riding the coat tails of his famous grandfather.
😄😎😃
@@deej9367 Someone sounds salty.
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
You pray that the shark does not have a lot of resolve.
You point your .44 Magnum at it and tell it to to desist and leave the swimming area, now.
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.
Are you some love watching Jacques Cousteau, my daughter in school did a dedication to him for science project because of him she became one of them
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.
Please make an extended uncut I would watch four hours of this.
sounds like they cut him off in the edit literally in the middle of sentences!! i could've listened to him longer too.
I feel like it should be a crime to make Fabien Cousteau, the literal grandson of Jacques Cousteau sit through Piranha 3D.
I mean, it really feels cruel. 🤭
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.
If it's good enough for Stanley Kubrick it's good enough for a B movie about killer fish.
7:30 YES! so tired of the shark stigma, poor creatures
Even his grandfather used to butcher them sadly.
Watched "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" on TV as a kid. They were amazing, narrated with his fabulous French accent.
And the calipso
Me too. Learnt diving because of him
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
agreed. what a waste of time and opportunity
Seriously tho! I was wondering what he was going to say about the yellow submarine clip
He is the grandson of Jacques Cousteau, the legend in ocean exploration
I was thinking the same thing! So many bizarre choices. Yellow Submarine... why!?
Insultingñ
I like his sweater
This guy is great, love his narration and humour. Wired, you really know how to pick them!
Fabien: My name is [fah-bjɛ̃ kus-to]
Wired: wazzup [fey-byen cow-stow]
I could listen to hours of the unedited versions of these. The information given is fascinating!
I've never heard someone say 'The Blue Veneer' but it's one of the most beautiful ways I've heard the ocean described!!
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. 😊
He looks like an older version of the accent expert. I liked his subtle personality. Bring him back!
I could listen to this guy for hours, I’d love a ocean documentary with him!
It's a shame it was so badly edited, way too rushed, too many clips without enough explanation
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 ones that haven't seen that movie you forgot to say "spoiler alert"
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
I used to love watching his Grandfather's documentaries growing up! What an amazing legacy to be part of. I hope his children continue that legacy.
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.
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.
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.
I'd love to see him react to Subnautica 👍
Definitely. That would be great because of the horror aspect
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 .
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.
6:50 There's no shark of that size in existence today. - while talking about The Meg, a movie about an extinct shark
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.
guest: my name is Fah-bee-ahn Cousteau
narrator: FAY-BEEYEN!
12:17 The way he pronounces cephalopods is exactly how Ted Mosby would say it lol
This is one of the best of these "expert critique" videos I've seen. What a great speaker.
That was great - imagine growing up like he did. What an experience.
“My name is Fabian”
Narrator instantly butchering the name “Fei-bien”
Loved his commentary, he's one of my favorite experts you've had on so far!
The grandson of a legend.
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.
This was super cool and informative. Hope he comes back.
The big blue is such an underrated film, one of my Dad and I's favourites, I've watched it since I was little, highly recommend
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.
This guy is literally astronaut in the Ocean
Hence the term "Aquanaut."
The Abyss is one of my favorite movies ever. Watched it when I was a kid and holy crap did it hit hard. This was interesting to watch.
i remember reading his grandfather's books as a child. especially the pictures of the deep sea
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 guess they never told him that part
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.
A similar video with a different guy who was a shipwreck expert said that most of that was real but some shots were recreations.
I love this guys explanations and his humility!!
Wait this guy’s related to Jacques Cousteau
He's his grandson.
I believe Jacques Cousteau is his grandfather.
@@shinmedoko correct
I find it a little suspicious that the Steve Zissou segment is so short….
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.
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"
The Big Blue Soundtrack is a slept on banger
"Let's dive in" 😂👍
That crazy scene in The Abyss where a mouse was submerged and forced to breathe liquid oxygen was actually real. No CGI.
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.
The shot of the Titanic isnt merely "what you'd get" down there, James Cameron literally dove down to the Titanic and filmed there.
Lol I know
Thank you!!! I was looking for this comment. Like... that IS the down there 🤣
Might be why he didn't feel it needed further commentary
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.
"Aquanaute", love that word!
Very interesting, would like to see more of that with Mr Cousteau.
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.
My 11 year old ocean fanatic loved this ❤️
Reflexively paused the video when he introduced himself... had to figure it out. He automatically has my full respect. LOVE that he's doing this with his life and keeping his family name in the science!
The Titanic one isn't what you would see it is what you would see. They actually went down to film these scenes so that part is 100% real.
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!
Now I want to see an accurate ending to Jaws, where the shark becomes a rocket.
Like a baloon letting out the air?
Bring him back for part two!
“It’s Pandora’s box of mysteries waiting to be uncovered” my dude Pandora’s box was filled with plagues and misery for humanity
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.
How do you get his name wrong when he literally pronounces it for you? Such disregard.
So he spoke his name like a French citizen but clearly he’s not. They said his name like an American. I can’t stand people who act like him, and you
Literally exactly what I said after his name was said by someone else.
I was also thinking, "you didn't even try!"
I haven’t looked at the rest but that made me laugh. And I think it was like when you want Siri to pronounce it ha
I thought it was a text to speech
Cousteau here is the most interesting man in the ocean.
The way this man talks about the ocean is so passionate, makes me want to go diving.
How did they not have him react to Bioshock? That would have been interesting to hear his impressions on aspects of the city design
Could be the fact that it is neither a film or TV show...
Did you know that despite being at the bottom of the ocean the Titanic’s pool is still filled. Truly a marvel of engineering
Did the Titanic ever had a pool? Sure, it does now but what about when it was still sailing.
@@KillRei yeah it did, pretty sizeable
@@texasred4339 Good to know. Thanks...
I wish he had more time to talk about various things, amazing knowledge & explanations
Fabian, is Fantastic , no over Dramatic scenario’s, and of course an Expert!👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Nicely done :)
A Cousteau commenting on The Life Aquatic makes me so happy.
I love how much this guy clearly loves the ocean. I have a new favorite person
The great thing about Titanic is that much of the underwater footage is the real deal
the editing done a brilliant job 🤣
5:00 Proteus???
No, no, no; that's all wrong! It should be called Sealab 2022!
Would you put your brain in a robot body?
Very cool! Now when can we get The Abyss on bluray? 😄
I liked the Abyss. I can watch it over and over.
WOW THIS WAS AMAZING
cool guy, one of my favourite videos bc I'm a big marine biology fan and go fishing myself as often as I can. love it!
Loved this
The best Wired video so far.
His grandfather was one of the most important people that contributed to my love of science, and it's great to see him carrying on that love.
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.
To be fear the all scene is not possible, search mythbusters on youtube, they explained why this scene in not doable with out SGI effects
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!
And what was that advice?
He’s wonderfully interesting and I hope he visits again!
I was actually under the impression that liquid breathing had been successfully tried as a concept. The more you learn.
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.
@@Rystefn Yeah you could say technically it works, but it is not suggested.
This guy is awesome. A great speaker!
Loved into the blue!
I wish I could hear his full answers!
I love that I'm starting to be able to guess the experts!
Would have loved to see his take on Sphere.
This is the first time I heard the word 'Aquanaut'
Love his knowledge and experience
I remember watching your Grandfather when I was a kid all the time and was fascinated with the discoveries and the ship, I actually built the model as well.
when i was in the military i would go scuba diving the ocean is a whole nother world and its heaven
Idk why but I cracked tf up when he said safety sausage
Aquanaut…oooh. Never heard of that before.
I love the way they straight up butchered his name immediately after he said it
He LITERALLY just told you how his name was pronounced.
Total poker face while watching the clip...then the reaction
