Deeply is a 2000 film directed by Sheri Elwood, starring Julia Brendler, Lynn Redgrave and Kirsten Dunst.
Claire McKay (Julia Brendler)—having suffered the death of her boyfriend—is brought by her mother to Ironbound Island in the hopes that time away from the city will allow her to recover emotionally. On the island where her mother was born, Claire meets an eccentric writer, Celia (Lynn Redgrave), who in flashbacks, relates her own story as a grief-stricken teenager in 1949. Celia—Silly (Kirsten Dunst) in the flashbacks—is the next chosen victim of a Viking curse which was placed on the island centuries ago when their longship sank in the bay.
The nature of the curse is such that a "chosen one" is born every fifty years, and they are destined to die at sea in order for the fish the island depends on to continue to return. During the flashbacks Silly discovers a list of past victims, and that she is the next. However, in the end Silly is not claimed by the sea, which instead takes her lover. The narrator says something to the effect of what better alternative to taking the chosen one than to take her lover instead, leaving her to bear the pain. As Celia tells her own story of love and loss, Claire eventually undergoes a catharsis and again plays the violin that she has not touched since her own loss. The final clips of the movie show a shoal of fish, which points to the fact that the fish do indeed return to the island.
Darling, I've gotta talk to you
About the things you've been putting me through
I've gotta talk to you
I've gotta be explained to
Feelings, they're really burning now
They're burning higher than they've ever done before
I need to talk to you, I need to feel it deeply
You're actions now, they're really driving me
Driving me into a deep bed of insanity
You need to talk to me
You need to feel it deeply
Don't be afraid to say it
Don't be afraid to say it
The words that you might tell me
Could never hurt me oh no
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
I've gotta feel it deeply, deeply now
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
And the words come tumbling from me
Feelings, they're really burning now
They're burning higher than they've ever done before
I need to talk to you, I need to feel it deeply
Sometime now you gotta come round
To the way that I been feeling about you now
I gotta talk to you, I gotta be explained to
Don't be afraid to say it
Don't be afraid to say it
The words that you might tell me
Could never hurt me oh no
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
I've gotta feel it deeply, deeply boy
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
And the words come tumbling from me
Don't be afraid to say it
Don't be afraid to say it
The words that you might tell me
Could never hurt me oh no
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
I've gotta feel it deeply, deeply now
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
