Brigitte Mira

biography:
Brigitte Mira (20 April 1910 – 8 March 2005) was a German actress. She worked in both theater and film, often with Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Brigitte Mira's mother was German and her father was Jewish Russian. During the Nazi dictatorship, Mira took part in the propaganda series Liese und Miese. She played Miese (germ. bad one)--the bad role model according to Nazi ideology that listened to enemy radio stations and stockpiled rationed food. But her acting skills turned the "bad" character she portrayed into a likeable one. The series was soon cancelled for being counter productive. The propaganda directors did not know that Mira was half-Jewish. Even though she insisted on her naivete as a young woman and the fact she had to hide her identity, she was criticized later by some for taking part in these ads at all.

Even if Mira was born in Hamburg she early on moved to Berlin and through her TV work came to embody the typical Berlin sense of humor.

Notable performances include Emmi Kurowski in Fear Eats the Soul (1974), a role for which she won a German Film Award. In the 1980s Mira achieved another big success with the television series Drei Damen vom Grill.

Brigitte Mira

biography:
Brigitte Mira (* 20. April 1910 in Hamburg als Elisabeth Wally Stramm; † 8. März 2005 in Berlin) war eine deutsche Volksschauspielerin, Kabarettistin sowie Chanson- und Operettensängerin, die sowohl am Theater als auch beim Film arbeitete, mehrfach mit Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Miras Mutter war Deutsche, ihr Vater ein russisch-jüdischer Einwanderer. Während der Nazizeit wirkte Mira in der Propagandaserie Liese und Miese mit. Sie spielte Miese (dt.: die Böse): das schlechte Vorbild der Nazi-Ideologie, das feindliche Radiosender hörte und Lebensmittelrationen hortete. Ihre schauspielerischen Fähigkeiten machten aus der „bösen“ Figur, die sie darstellte, jedoch eine sympathische. Die Serie wurde wegen Kontraproduktivität abgesetzt. Die Propagandaregisseure wussten nicht, dass Mira Halbjüdin war, da sie falsche Papiere besaß.

Zu ihren herausragenden Rollen gehört die Rolle der Emmi Kurowski in Angst essen Seele auf (1974), für die sie mit dem Deutschen Filmpreis ausgezeichnet wurde. In den 1980er Jahren feierte Mira einen weiteren großen Erfolg mit der Fernsehserie Drei Damen vom Grill. 1991 trat sie in der Bühnenproduktion von Stephen Sondheims Follies in Berlin auf.

Strangely enough, the only work he can find is to distribute candy on children, dressed up as clown. When a bunch of kiddies, including his own son who doesn't recognize the father due to the masquerade, plays a nasty trick to him, things turn really ugly...

title: Like a Bird on a Wire

overview: A pseudo variety show about the Aufbau-Era, the time of the German 'economic miracle'. Brigitte Mira recounts her four husbands through song and joke, on a series of artificial sets.

title: 1 Berlin-Harlem

overview: An African-American GI retires from the US Army in West Berlin to live with his white girlfriend, who already has a baby with another black man. After an argument with her family, she deserts him as well. Despite finding a job and a new place to live, he keeps running into racism, which also manifests itself in sexual intimidation.

title: Blue Note - A Story of Modern Jazz

overview: "It must schwing!" was the motto of Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, two German Jewish immigrants who in 1939 set up Blue Note Records, the jazz label that was home to such greats as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon and Sonny Rollins. Blue Note, the most successful movie ever made about jazz, is a testimony to the passion and vision of these two men and certainly swings like the propulsive sounds that made their label so famous.

Jacques Mayol

biography:
Jacques Mayol, born April 1, 1927, in Shanghai, China, and died December 22, 2001, in Capoliveri, on the island of Elba, Italy, was a French freediver whose story inspired the film The Big Blue (1988).

Jacques Mayol grew up in Shanghai, in the French Concession, where his father was an architect. In the summer, the family would often travel to Karatsu, Japan, via the Shanghai-Nagasaki shipping line. It was there that he learned to dive at the age of six. He was fascinated by the "ama," Japanese freedivers who dived for shellfish. It was also in the Nanatsugama caves that he encountered his first dolphin when he was ten years old. In the late 1930s, Japanese militarism drove Westerners away. Jacques Mayol would not return to Karatsu until 1971.

In 1939, he settled with his family in Marseille, where he was stranded due to World War II. With his brother, Pierre Mayol, he often went diving, using masks fashioned from truck inner tubes and a homemade speargun to catch a few fish. At seventeen, he decided to join the air force in Morocco but returned to Marseille in 1945. He then spent his time in the Calanques of Marseille with Albert Falco, who later became the captain of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's Calypso. Drawn to Sweden, Jacques Mayol moved there in 1948, where he married a Danish woman, Vibeke Boje Wadsholt (or Vicky), a few years later. They had a daughter (Dottie) and a son (Jean-Jacques/Pedro), and divorced in 1957.

The family then settled in Miami (USA), where in 1955 Mayol was hired as a diver to clean the aquariums at a local water park, the Seaquarium. He spent a lot of time with a female dolphin named Clown, the mother of Flipper, the star of the famous 1960s television series. Observing her like a student observes a teacher, he managed to improve his freediving skills. In 1966, he met the Italian Enzo Maiorca in the Bahamas, breaking his personal best with a dive to 60 meters. He became the first diver in the world to reach a depth of 100 meters on a single breath, in November 1976, in the waters off the island of Elba, and then reached 105 meters in 1983, a feat that would remain iconic for many years. He was interested in the physiology of diving, practiced gymnastics, yoga, and meditation, seeking to better understand how the human body adapts to immersion. When he dived, Mayol surprised scientists because his heart rate could drop from 70 to 20 beats per minute; this bradycardia should have caused him to faint.

Jacques Mayol, who paved the way for many freedivers, conceived of diving not as a simple sport, but as a physical and spiritual experience.

In 1983, he met Luc Besson, who presented him with his film project, The Big Blue. The fictionalized character of Jacques Mayol was portrayed by Jean-Marc Barr. His rivalry with Enzo Maiorca (named Enzo Molinari in the film and played by Jean Reno) is a recurring theme.

According to Umberto Pelizzari, he was consumed by loneliness and had been depressed for several months. He took his own life on December 22, 2001, at his home in Calone on the island of Elba, where he had lived for over thirty years. His ashes were scattered off the coast of Tuscany.

biography:
Jacques Mayol, né le 1er avril 1927 à Shanghai, en Chine, et mort le 22 décembre 2001 à Capoliveri, sur île d'Elbe, en Italie, est un plongeur apnéiste français dont  l'histoire inspira le film Le Grand Bleu (1988).

Jacques Mayol grandit à Shanghai, à la concession française, où son père est architecte. L'été, la famille a l'habitude de se rendre à Karatsu, au Japon via la ligne maritime Shanghai-Nagasaki. C'est là qu'il apprend à plonger à l'âge de 6 ans. Il est fasciné par les «amas», des plongeuses apnéistes japonaises qui pêchent des coquillages. C'est aussi dans les grottes de Nanatsugama qu'il rencontre son premier dauphin l'année de ses 10 ans. À la fin des années 1930, le militarisme japonais fait fuir les Occidentaux. Jacques Mayol ne reviendra pas à Karatsu avant 1971.

En 1939, il s'installe avec sa famille à Marseille où il se retrouve bloqué à cause de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Avec son frère Pierre Mayol, il plonge souvent avec des masques taillés dans des chambres à air de camion et une arbalète artisanale pour pêcher un peu de poisson. À dix-sept ans, il décide de s'engager dans l'aviation au Maroc mais revient à Marseille en 1945. Il passe alors son temps dans les calanques de Marseille avec Albert Falco qui devient le capitaine de la Calypso de Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Attiré par la Suède, Jacques Mayol part en 1948 pour ce pays où il se marie quelques années plus tard avec une Danoise, Vibeke Boje Wadsholt (ou Vicky), dont il a une fille (Dottie) et un garçon (Jean-Jacques/Pedro), ils divorceront en  1957.

La famille s'installe ensuite à Miami (États-Unis) où Mayol est engagé en 1955 comme plongeur pour nettoyer les aquariums d'un parc aquatique local, le Seaquarium. Il passe alors beaucoup de temps avec une femelle dauphin nommée Clown, mère de Flipper, la vedette du célèbre feuilleton télévisé des années 1960, en l'observant comme un élève observe le maître, il parvient à améliorer son apnée. Il fait la rencontre de l'italien Enzo Maiorca en 1966 aux Bahamas en battant son record de profondeur par une plongée à 60 m. Il sera le premier plongeur au monde à descendre à une profondeur de 100 m en apnée, en novembre 1976, dans les eaux de l'île d'Elbe, puis atteint 105 mètres en 1983, performance qui restera longtemps emblématique. Il s’intéresse à la physiologie de la plongée, pratique la gymnastique, le yoga et la méditation, cherchant à mieux comprendre l’adaptation du corps humain à l’immersion. Quand il plongeait, Mayol surprenait les scientifiques, car son rythme cardiaque pouvait passer de 70 à 20 pulsations par minute; cette bradycardie aurait dû provoquer une syncope.

Jacques Mayol qui a ouvert la voie à de nombreux plongeurs libres, conçoit la plongée, non comme un simple sport, mais comme une expérience physique et spirituelle.

En 1983 fait la connaissance de Luc Besson qui lui présente son projet de film intitulé Le Grand Bleu. Le personnage de Jacques Mayol, romancé, est interprété par Jean-Marc Barr. On retrouve notamment sa rivalité avec Enzo Maiorca (nommé Enzo Molinari dans le film et interprété par Jean Reno).

Rongé par la solitude et déprimé depuis plusieurs mois selon Umberto Pelizzari, met sfin à ses jours le 22 décembre 2001 à son domicile de Calone sur l'île d'Elbe, où il vivait depuis plus de trente ans. Ses cendres sont dispersées au large de la Toscane.

雅克·马约尔

biography:
雅克·马约尔（Jacques Mayol），1927年4月1日出生於中國上海，2001年12月22日逝世於義大利厄爾巴島卡波利韋裡，是一位法國自由潛水員，他的故事啟發了電影《碧海藍天》（1988）。

雅克·馬約爾在上海法租界長大，他的父親是一位建築師。夏天，他們一家人常搭乘上海至長崎的輪船前往日本唐津。六歲時，他在那裡學會了潛水。他被日本自由潛水員「海女」（ama）深深吸引，這些潛水員潛入海底捕撈貝類。十歲那年，他在七釜洞第一次見到了海豚。 1930年代末，日本軍國主義迫使西方人離開。雅克·馬約爾直到1971年才回到唐津。

1939年，他隨家人定居馬賽，因二戰戰亂滯留於此。他和哥哥皮耶·馬約爾經常潛水，用卡車內胎自製的潛水面罩和自製魚槍捕魚。 17歲時，他決定加入駐摩洛哥空軍，但於1945年返回馬賽。之後，他與阿爾伯特·法爾科（後來成為雅克-伊夫·庫斯托“卡利普索號”的船長）在馬賽峽灣度過了一段時間。 1948年，雅克·馬約爾被瑞典的魅力所吸引，移居瑞典，並在幾年後與丹麥女子維貝克·博耶·瓦德肖爾特（暱稱維姬）結婚。他們育有一女（多蒂）和一子（讓-雅克/佩德羅），並於1957年離婚。

之後，一家人定居於美國邁阿密。 1955年，馬約爾受僱於當地一家水上樂園－海洋館，擔任潛水員，負責清潔水族箱。他與一隻名叫「小丑」的雌性海豚相處了很長時間，這隻海豚是20世紀60年代著名電視劇《海豚弗利珀》中弗利珀的母親。他像學生觀察老師一樣觀察著“小丑”，並因此提高了自己的自由潛水技巧。 1966年，他在巴哈馬群島遇到了義大利人恩佐·馬約爾卡，並以60公尺的潛水深度打破了自己的個人紀錄。 1976年11月，他在厄爾巴島附近海域成為世界上第一個單次呼吸下潛至100公尺深度的潛水員。 1983年，他又下潛至105米，這項壯舉在之後的多年裡一直被奉為經典。他對潛水的生理機制很感興趣，練習體操、瑜珈和冥想，力求更了解人體如何適應水下環境。當馬約爾潛水時，心率會從每分鐘70次驟降至20次，這令科學家們感到驚訝；這種心跳過慢本應使他昏厥。這種生理適應能力對於在30米以上的深度潛水時承受水壓而不受傷至關重要，它存在於海豹和海獅等海洋哺乳動物身上，但人們此前並不知道人類也具備這種能力，即使程度較輕。

雅克·馬約爾為許多自由潛水員鋪平了道路，他認為潛水不僅僅是一項運動，更是一種身心體驗。據翁貝托·佩利扎里所述，馬約爾因孤獨和憂鬱而痛苦不堪，最終於2001年12月22日在位於厄爾巴島卡洛內的家中結束了自己的生命。他已在那裡生活了三十多年。他的骨灰被撒在了托斯卡納海岸附近。

Jacques Mayol creció en Shanghái, en la Concesión Francesa, donde su padre era arquitecto. En verano, la familia viajaba con frecuencia a Karatsu, Japón, a través de la línea marítima Shanghái-Nagasaki. Fue allí donde aprendió a bucear a los seis años. Le fascinaban las "ama", apneístas japonesas que se sumergían para recolectar mariscos. También fue en las cuevas de Nanatsugama donde vio su primer delfín a los diez años. A finales de la década de 1930, el militarismo japonés provocó la huida de los occidentales. Jacques Mayol no regresaría a Karatsu hasta 1971.

En 1939, se estableció con su familia en Marsella, donde quedó varado debido a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Junto a su hermano Pierre Mayol, solía bucear, utilizando máscaras hechas con cámaras de camión y un arpón casero para pescar.

Estaba interesado en la fisiología del buceo, practicaba gimnasia, yoga y meditación, buscando comprender mejor cómo el cuerpo humano se adapta a la inmersión. Cuando buceaba, Mayol sorprendía a los científicos porque su ritmo cardíaco podía bajar de 70 a 20 latidos por minuto; esta bradicardia debería haberle provocado un desmayo.

Jacques Mayol, pionero del buceo libre, concibió el buceo no como un simple deporte, sino como una experiencia física y espiritual.

Жак Майоль

biography:
Жак Майоль, родившийся 1 апреля 1927 года в Шанхае, Китай, и умерший 22 декабря 2001 года в Каполивери, на острове Эльба, Италия, был французским фридайвером, чья история легла в основу фильма «Большая голубая бездна» (1988).

Жак Майоль вырос в Шанхае, во Французской концессии, где его отец был архитектором. Летом семья часто ездила в Карацу, Япония, по судоходной линии Шанхай-Нагасаки. Именно там он научился нырять в возрасте шести лет. Его очаровали «ама» — японские фридайверы, которые ныряли за моллюсками. Также в пещерах Нанацугама он в десять лет впервые увидел дельфина. В конце 1930-х годов японский милитаризм отпугнул западных туристов. Жак Майоль вернулся в Каратсу только в 1971 году.

В 1939 году он поселился со своей семьей в Марселе, куда попал из-за Второй мировой войны. Вместе со своим братом Пьером Майолем он часто занимался дайвингом, используя маски, сделанные из автомобильных камер, и самодельное подводное ружье, чтобы поймать немного рыбы. В семнадцать лет он решил поступить на службу в военно-воздушные силы в Марокко, но вернулся в Марсель в 1945 году. Затем он провел время в Марсельских Каланках с Альбертом Фалько, который позже стал капитаном «Калипсо» Жака-Ива Кусто. Увлеченный Швецией, Жак Майоль переехал туда в 1948 году, где несколько лет спустя женился на датчанке Вибеке Бойе Вадсхольт (или Вики). У них родилась дочь (Дотти) и сын (Жан-Жак/Педро), и они развелись в 1957 году.

Затем семья поселилась в Майами (США), где в 1955 году Майоль был нанят водолазом для чистки аквариумов в местном аквапарке «Сиквариум». Он много времени проводил с самкой дельфина по кличке Клоун, матерью Флиппера, звезды знаменитого телесериала 1960-х годов. Наблюдая за ней, как ученик наблюдает за учителем, он сумел улучшить свои навыки фридайвинга. В 1966 году он встретил итальянца Энцо Майорку на Багамах, побив его личный рекорд, совершив погружение на 60 метров. В ноябре 1976 года он стал первым в мире водолазом, достигшим глубины 100 метров на одном дыхании в водах у острова Эльба, а затем в 1983 году достиг 105 метров — достижение, которое останется культовым на долгие годы. Он интересовался физиологией дайвинга, занимался гимнастикой, йогой и медитацией, стремясь лучше понять, как человеческий организм адаптируется к погружению. Во время погружений Майоль удивлял ученых тем, что его пульс мог падать с 70 до 20 ударов в минуту; эта брадикардия должна была привести к обмороку.

Жак Майоль, проложивший путь многим фридайверам, рассматривал дайвинг не как простой спорт, а как физический и духовный опыт.

В 1983 году он познакомился с Люком Бессоном, который представил ему свой кинопроект «Большая голубая бездна». Вымышленного персонажа Жака Майоля сыграл Жан-Марк Барр. Его соперничество с Энцо Майоркой (в фильме его зовут Энцо Молинари, а играет Жан Рено) является повторяющейся темой.

По словам Умберто Пелиццари, он был поглощен одиночеством и несколько месяцев находился в депрессии. Он покончил с собой 22 декабря 2001 года в своем доме в Калоне на острове Эльба, где прожил более тридцати лет. Его прах был развеян у побережья Тосканы.

ジャック・マイヨール

biography:
ジャック・マイヨールは、1927年4月1日に中国・上海で生まれ、2001年12月22日にイタリア・エルバ島のカポリヴェリで亡くなったフランス人フリーダイバーで、その物語は映画『グラン・ブルー』（1988年）のインスピレーションとなった。

ジャック・マイヨールは、建築家だった父のもと、上海のフランス租界で育った。夏になると、一家は上海・長崎航路を利用して日本の唐津へよく旅行した。そこで彼は6歳でダイビングを覚えた。貝を採る日本の海女たちに魅了された。また、10歳の時には七津釜の洞窟で初めてイルカに出会った。1930年代後半、日本の軍国主義の台頭により、西洋人は上海から遠ざかっていった。ジャック・マイヨールが唐津に戻るのは1971年のことだった。

1939年、彼は家族とともにマルセイユに定住したが、第二次世界大戦の影響でそこに足止めされた。兄のピエール・マイヨールとよく潜水に出かけ、トラックのタイヤチューブで作ったマスクと自作の水中銃を使って魚を捕っていた。17歳でモロッコの空軍に入隊したが、1945年にマルセイユに戻った。その後、マルセイユのカランクでアルベール・ファルコと過ごした。ファルコは後にジャック＝イヴ・クストーのカリプソ号の船長となる。スウェーデンに惹かれたジャック・マイヨールは1948年にスウェーデンに移住し、数年後、デンマーク人女性のヴィベケ・ボイエ・ワドショルト（通称ヴィッキー）と結婚した。夫妻には娘（ドッティ）と息子（ジャン＝ジャック／ペドロ）がおり、1957年に離婚した。

その後、一家はアメリカのマイアミに移住し、1955年、マヨールは地元のウォーターパーク「シーアクアリウム」の水族館清掃ダイバーとして雇われた。彼は、1960年代の人気テレビシリーズ「フリッパー」のスター、クラウンの母親であるメスのイルカと多くの時間を過ごした。生徒が師を観察するようにクラウンを観察することで、彼はフリーダイビングの技術を磨いていった。1966年、バハマでイタリア人のエンツォ・マイオルカと出会い、60メートル潜水で自己ベストを更新した。1976年11月、エルバ島沖で、世界で初めて一回の呼吸で水深100メートルに到達したダイバーとなり、さらに1983年には105メートルに到達した。この偉業は、その後長年にわたり語り継がれることになる。彼は潜水の生理学に興味を持ち、体操、ヨガ、瞑想を実践し、人体が水没にどのように適応するかをより深く理解しようと努めた。潜水時、マヨールの心拍数は毎分70拍から20拍まで低下することがあり、科学者たちを驚かせた。この徐脈は本来なら失神を引き起こすはずだった。

多くのフリーダイバーの道を切り開いたジャック・マヨールは、潜水を単なるスポーツではなく、肉体的かつ精神的な体験として捉えていた。

1983年、彼はリュック・ベッソンと出会い、ベッソンから映画『グラン・ブルー』の企画を持ちかけられた。ジャック・マヨールをモデルにした架空の人物は、ジャン＝マルク・バールが演じた。エンツォ・マイオルカ（映画ではエンツォ・モリナーリという名前で、ジャン・レノが演じた）とのライバル関係は、繰り返し描かれるテーマとなっている。

ウンベルト・ペリッツァーリによると、彼は孤独に苛まれ、数ヶ月間うつ状態に陥っていたという。彼は2001年12月22日、30年以上暮らしていたエルバ島のカローネにある自宅で自ら命を絶った。彼の遺灰はトスカーナ沖に撒かれた。

جاك مايول

biography:
جاك مايول، المولود في الأول من أبريل عام ١٩٢٧ في شنغهاي، الصين، والمتوفى في الثاني والعشرين من ديسمبر عام ٢٠٠١ في كابوليفيري، بجزيرة إلبا، إيطاليا، كان غواصًا حرًا فرنسيًا ألهمت قصته فيلم "الأزرق الكبير" (١٩٨٨).

نشأ جاك مايول في شنغهاي، في منطقة الامتياز الفرنسي، حيث كان والده مهندسًا معماريًا. في الصيف، كانت العائلة تسافر غالبًا إلى كاراتسو، اليابان، عبر خط ملاحي بين شنغهاي وناغازاكي. هناك تعلم الغوص في سن السادسة. كان مفتونًا بـ"الأما"، وهم غواصون أحرار يابانيون يغوصون بحثًا عن المحار. وفي كهوف ناناتسوغاما، التقى بأول دولفين له عندما كان في العاشرة من عمره. في أواخر ثلاثينيات القرن العشرين، دفعت النزعة العسكرية اليابانية الغربيين إلى مغادرة البلاد. لم يعد جاك مايول إلى كاراتسو حتى عام ١٩٧١.

في عام ١٩٣٩، استقر مع عائلته في مرسيليا، حيث تقطعت به السبل بسبب الحرب العالمية الثانية. كان يمارس الغوص مع شقيقه، بيير مايول، مستخدمًا أقنعة مصنوعة من أنابيب داخلية للشاحنات وبندقية صيد أسماك بدائية الصنع. في سن السابعة عشرة، قرر الانضمام إلى القوات الجوية في المغرب، لكنه عاد إلى مرسيليا عام ١٩٤٥. ثم أمضى وقته في خلجان مرسيليا مع ألبرت فالكو، الذي أصبح لاحقًا قبطان سفينة كاليبسو التابعة لجاك إيف كوستو. انجذب جاك مايول إلى السويد، فانتقل إليها عام ١٩٤٨، حيث تزوج من الدنماركية فيبيكي بوي وادشولت (أو فيكي) بعد بضع سنوات. أنجبا ابنة (دوتي) وابنًا (جان جاك/بيدرو)، وانفصلا عام ١٩٥٧.

استقرت العائلة بعد ذلك في ميامي (الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية)، حيث عُيّن مايول عام ١٩٥٥ غواصًا لتنظيف أحواض الأسماك في منتزه سي أكواريوم المائي المحلي. أمضى وقتًا طويلًا مع أنثى دولفين تُدعى كلاون، والدة فليبر، نجم المسلسل التلفزيوني الشهير في ستينيات القرن الماضي. وبمراقبتها كما يراقب الطالب معلمه، تمكن من تحسين مهاراته في الغوص الحر. في عام ١٩٦٦، التقى بالإيطالي إنزو مايوركا في جزر البهاما، وحطم رقمه القياسي الشخصي بالغوص إلى عمق ٦٠ مترًا. أصبح أول غواص في العالم يصل إلى عمق ١٠٠ متر بنَفَس واحد، في نوفمبر ١٩٧٦، في مياه جزيرة إلبا، ثم وصل إلى ١٠٥ أمتار عام ١٩٨٣، وهو إنجاز سيظل أيقونيًا لسنوات عديدة. كان مهتمًا بفسيولوجيا الغوص، ومارس الجمباز واليوغا والتأمل، ساعيًا لفهم كيفية تكيف جسم الإنسان مع الغمر. أدهش مايول العلماء أثناء غوصه، إذ انخفض معدل ضربات قلبه من 70 إلى 20 نبضة في الدقيقة؛ وكان من المفترض أن يُفقده هذا التباطؤ في ضربات القلب وعيه.

جاك مايول، الذي مهد الطريق للعديد من الغواصين الأحرار، لم ينظر إلى الغوص كرياضة بسيطة، بل كتجربة جسدية وروحية.

في عام 1983، التقى بلوك بيسون، الذي عرض عليه مشروعه السينمائي "الأزرق الكبير". جسّد جان مارك بار شخصية جاك مايول الخيالية. وتُعدّ منافسته مع إنزو مايوركا (المسمى إنزو موليناري في الفيلم، والذي جسّده جان رينو) موضوعًا متكررًا.

بحسب أومبرتو بيليزاري، كان مايول يعاني من الوحدة والاكتئاب لعدة أشهر. انتحر في 22 ديسمبر 2001، في منزله في كالوني بجزيرة إلبا، حيث عاش لأكثر من ثلاثين عاماً. ونُثر رماده قبالة سواحل توسكانا.

biography:
Jacques Mayol, nascido a 1 de abril de 1927 em Xangai, na China, e falecido a 22 de dezembro de 2001 em Capoliveri, na ilha de Elba, Itália, foi um mergulhador livre francês cuja história inspirou o filme O Grande Azul (1988).

Jacques Mayol cresceu em Xangai, na Concessão Francesa, onde o seu pai era arquiteto. No verão, a família costumava viajar para Karatsu, no Japão, através da linha de navegação Xangai-Nagasaki. Foi aí que aprendeu a mergulhar aos seis anos de idade. Era fascinado pelos "ama", mergulhadores livres japoneses que mergulhavam em busca de marisco. Foi também nas grutas de Nanatsugama que encontrou o seu primeiro golfinho aos dez anos de idade. No final da década de 1930, o militarismo japonês expulsou os ocidentais. Jacques Mayol só regressaria a Karatsu em 1971.

Em 1939, instalou-se com a sua família em Marselha, onde ficou retido devido à Segunda Guerra Mundial. Com o irmão, Pierre Mayol, costumava mergulhar, usando máscaras improvisadas com câmaras de ar de camião e um arpão caseiro para pescar alguns peixes. Aos dezassete anos, decidiu alistar-se na Força Aérea em Marrocos, mas regressou a Marselha em 1945. Passou depois algum tempo nas Calanques de Marselha com Albert Falco, que viria a ser capitão do Calypso de Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Atraído pela Suécia, Jacques Mayol mudou-se para lá em 1948, onde se casou com uma dinamarquesa, Vibeke Boje Wadsholt (ou Vicky), alguns anos mais tarde. Tiveram uma filha (Dottie) e um filho (Jean-Jacques/Pedro) e divorciaram-se em 1957.

A família instalou-se então em Miami (EUA), onde em 1955 Mayol foi contratado como mergulhador para limpar os aquários de um parque aquático local, o Seaquarium. Passou muito tempo com uma fêmea de golfinho chamada Clown, mãe de Flipper, a estrela da famosa série televisiva dos anos 60. Ao observá-la como um aluno observa um professor, conseguiu melhorar as suas capacidades em mergulho livre. Em 1966, conheceu o italiano Enzo Maiorca nas Bahamas, batendo o seu recorde pessoal com um mergulho a 60 metros. Tornou-se o primeiro mergulhador do mundo a atingir a profundidade de 100 metros com uma única respiração, em novembro de 1976, nas águas da ilha de Elba, e depois alcançou 105 metros em 1983, um feito que permaneceria icónico durante muitos anos. Interessava-se pela fisiologia do mergulho, praticava ginástica, ioga e meditação, procurando compreender melhor como o corpo humano se adapta à imersão. Quando mergulhava, Mayol surpreendia os cientistas, pois a sua frequência cardíaca podia descer de 70 para 20 batimentos por minuto; esta bradicardia deveria tê-lo feito desmaiar.

Jacques Mayol, pioneiro no mergulho livre, concebia o mergulho não como um simples desporto, mas como uma experiência física e espiritual.

Em 1983, conheceu Luc Besson, que lhe apresentou o seu projeto cinematográfico, O Grande Azul. A personagem fictícia de Jacques Mayol foi interpretada por Jean-Marc Barr. A sua rivalidade com Enzo Maiorca (chamado Enzo Molinari no filme e interpretado por Jean Reno) é um tema recorrente.

Segundo Umberto Pelizzari, estava consumido pela solidão e sofria de depressão há vários meses. Tirou a própria vida a 22 de dezembro de 2001, na sua casa em Calone, na ilha de Elba, onde vivia há mais de trinta anos. As suas cinzas foram espalhadas na costa da Toscânia.

title: Dolphin Man

overview: As well as providing the subject for Luc Besson’s The Big Blue, Jacques Mayol did more than anyone to establish the sport of free diving to enormous depths without an oxygen supply. Using breathing techniques derived from yoga, he went to 50, 60, and even 100 meters—depths no one had considered to be within the bounds of human possibility. Mayol was a sportsman, a mystic, a vagabond, but above all, a man who believed in testing the limits of experience. This visually stunning tribute shows a man’s quest to be at one with the vastness of the ocean and to have no fear of the abyss within, where lurks serenity, freedom and finally, death.

overview: "Droit de Réponse" (Right of Reply) is a French debate program broadcast between December 12, 1981 and September 19, 1987 on the TF1 channel, presented by Michel Polac and produced by Maurice Dugowson. Broadcast live on a weekly basis, on Saturdays from 8.30 p.m., the right of reply has been the source of many controversies, due to the various speakers who have come to present their point of view on the show (which leads to famous scandals , remained in the memory of viewers), but also for the variety and relevance of the topics covered, which ensured the success of the program on the air for several years. On French television, this program is considered by some observers as a “pioneer program in terms of controversy-show or clash, in modern language”.
