How do you interpret the recurrence of water motifs in his films?

I interpret it as Mann liking water.

Water is mans most basic need for survival...which is interesting because Mann usually shoots salt water...which would kill you.
I think it's less about the water and more about the horizon, think the scene in Heat where Deniro looks longingly out his window at the ocean.

There's a transcendent, almost metaphysical quality to water in his films, like the characters are longing for a purity and freedom they could never find on land. It's both calming and worrying, as if they're contemplating their own inevitable doom and are at peace with it.
Even in a 100% urban film like Collateral, Max relaxes by thinking of the sea, it's what drives him forward.

why does he continue with digital /tv/? when will he return to his old ways and write good characters?
