Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A quiet, brooding 2011 film set in post-WWII Britain, directed by Terence Davies and based on a 1952 play by Terence Rattigan. The Deep Blue Sea focuses on Hester (Rachel Weisz), the middle-aged wife of a British judge (Simon Russell Beale). Their marriage is affectionate, but lacks passion. Through scenes played out of order, we see Hester fall for Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a former RAF pilot who hasn't quite gotten over the war. As her marriage falls apart, Hester finds happiness living with Freddie. But her relationship with Freddie isn't perfect...Not to be confused with Deep Blue Sea, unless you're looking for predatory fish.

Adaptation Expansion: Opens out a great deal from the source material. Writer-director Terence Davies fills in the main characters' back stories through flashback and dream sequences, and also expands the roles of minor characters like Mrs. Elliot the landlady. Rattigan's play focuses only on the aftermath of Hester's suicide attempt.

Amicable Exes: Hester and William, though they're not technically divorced, since she just left to live with Freddie. When they meet again after a few months, William's not mad at her anymore and it's still obvious they care for each other. He even offers to give her a divorce if she still wants it and wants her to be happy, to which Hester is grateful.
