Yes, it's amazing what an impact Debussy, Ravel and others of that era have had on film composers to this day. Even film directors and scriptwriters themselves have surely been inspired by this music.

I agree; when I closed my eyes listening to the piece, I could see a movie with a sailor on a voyage on the sea; the movie feels are in the music, or rather today's film composers take inspiration from these great composers

8:00 For me it is the moment when the sun rises and the first rays shimmer in the sea. It seems to me of an unparalleled ingenuity on the part of Debussy to think of the harp and an irregular rhythm to represent the flashes of light in the water, the suspended plates for the foam on the sand and the chorus of horns in modal harmony to make us see the majesty of the Sun just as it appears after the uncertainty of dawn. pure magic

The initial idea that the piece sprang from, and began to form in Debussy's head, was not when by the sea, but by the side of a large field of wheat that surrounded the very small village he was living in at the time when completely down on his uppers. For details go to the podcast or i-player at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09qdlw3 where Leslie Caron tells the story at about 15-20 minutes into the Programme. I just forget the name of the small village, but if you do listen, you'll hear her describe it and the occasion.

the beauty of how this song was written is just as impressive as the orchestra playing the song. The transition into different parts, such as the smooth change from heavy orchestral tones, to a sudden calmness, then a slow rise into another climax of the piece, and going into a slow melodic tone right after, giving a sense of both dread due to a symbolization of the raging sea that just passed, before giving a sequence of melodies symbolizing the escape from the storm of the sea ending the first song of La Mer. This is absolutely Debussys masterpiece, of course right next to claire de lune.
