Zissou Flag from the movie Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004

The Zissou flag is square shaped.  It is primarily composed of the colours white, blue, yellow, red, and light green.  In the movie it gets altered by Steve Zissou's long lost son who adds four symbols to the corners.

In the upper hoist side is a red letter E with a life preserver.  The E stands for Esteban du Plantier who was Steve's best friend who is attacked by the Jaguar Shark.  Esteban is played by Seymour Cassel.  In the upper fly side is a red letter K with a dolphin.  The K stands for Klas Daimler, the German second in command, who looks deeply up to Steve Zissou played by William Dafoe.  In the lower fly side is a red letter B with an anchor.   And finally in the lower hoist side is the letter N with a octopus.  The N stands for Ned, Steve's long lost son played by Owen Wilson.

Scuba Diver Pennant from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004

In the film Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004, starring Bill Murray, a diver pennant flag appears.  It is best seen during the hot air balloon scene.

Here Cate Blanchett sits opposite Bill Murray in a balloon connect to ship, on the sea, in the air, with a scuba diver flag in the on its end.

The blue and white scuba flag pennant with a white silhouette of a diver is probably the best type of scuba flag since persons unfamilar with the abstract diver flags of "Alpha" and white striped red flag can easily make sense that this flag is related to scuba diving.

Operation Hennessey Flag in Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004

The flag for Operation Hennessey appears in the cinematic draughmarkedymy (dramatic-artistic-comedy) Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004.  This film is a quiet visually appealing narration on life.  Part satire, part art house, part comedy, part action, part drama, part whatever, it is proverbially a buried treasure under the sea, that has gained a cult classic status.  It stands apart of the regular humdrum Hollywood action-hero-love drill-set, making fun of itself and leaves the audience guessing.  It also fits into the timeless class or cinematic classics as a retro movie set somewhere in the 1970s, as it was made in the 20-ohs. 

Of vexillological interest is the Operation Hennessy Flag that is composed of the colours black, white, and grey.

Yankee International Maritime Y-flag from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004

Buddhist Prayer Flags in Dolphin Tale 2011

 What is it about dolphins?  They just steal the show and glow with youthful excitement.  Of vexillological note are the appearance of Buddhist prayer flags.  Usually these flag can be found in abundance around Mt. Everest, Tibet, and Nepal.  The story about these flags is that they are supposed to carry positive well wishing hopes and peaceful vibes as the wind causes them to bend with a breeze. 

 They appear as decorative items on the crows nest in the Dolphin Tale movie.  There is also a reddish mast pennant giving this special spot some character. 

In contrast to the spiritual essence of the colourful prayer flags, fun and happy western colour pennant streamers play a similar role.  In this case they create a charming environment.
