《海。人。魚》導演最新力作,小琉球、澎湖絕美壯闊海景,探索大海的聲音
「三金影帝」吳朋奉 X 實力派女神鍾瑤 X 新生代潛力演員柯鑑育、鄭凱 共同發現海洋之美
三百多年前,傳說中的海盜船長顏思齊在蔚藍的大海中埋藏了大量的寶藏,身為其後代的顏賢軍(吳朋奉 飾)深信著這個傳說,並且用一生的時間希望能夠證明這段歷史,他不只身體力行,更將自己的兩個兒子顏東經(柯鑑育 飾)與顏北緯(鄭凱 飾)自幼就訓練成默契絕佳的潛水夥伴,一同開啟「尋寶」的人生。
原本感情極好的父子三人,卻隨著成長而逐漸發生變化,對於「寶藏」的定義產生嚴重分歧,東經更在一次意外之後憤而離家,父親口中所謂的「寶藏」究竟是什麼?曾經連結這對兄弟感情的大海是否又能讓東經北緯再次的交集。
《東經北緯》導演袁緒虎長年關注海洋生態,在首次執導的電視電影《海。人。魚》獲得金鐘獎最佳攝影的肯定後,他決定籌畫一部能透過大海的廣闊來療癒社會的電影。雖然曾為多部電影擔任水中攝影指導,但拍攝《東經北緯》時仍遇到不少困難,袁緒虎說:「即便出海時天氣晴朗,但潮汐、海流、風向、海水流速與水質的清晰與透明度都會直接影響拍攝的成果,只要長時間身處其中,就能明顯感受大海的瞬息萬變。」但他就是想呈現出這些地圖上不曾出現的風景,那也是他心中最接近夢想的座標,更希望透過《東經北緯》這部電影,重新尋回大海留給人類的無價寶藏,讓觀眾看見最美的台灣。
