“Three Colors: Blue”

“Three Colors: Blue”

“Three Colors: Blue” was released in 1993. The film was directed by Krysztof Kieslowski. This movie is the first of a trilogy. The movie starts off explaining Julie’s situation. She had just lost her husband and daughter in an automobile accident. She was the only one that survived. When she was still in the hospital, she tried many times to commit suicide. When she got out of the hospital, she decided not to go back to where she used to live. Instead she decided to move to Paris without notifying any one. She starts to distance herself from her old life. She doesn’t want to be associated with the people she used to know. Even her friend Olivier. Julie and Olivier both want to find out that Julie’s husband’s mistress was. Julie’s goal is for Olivier to not find about the mistress. Julie finds the mistress and gives her husband’s house just because she was going to have baby. Olivier is forced not to interfere with all of this. In the final scene of the movie, the audience gets to see all of things that Julie has done. All of her actions and how she has affected the people around her. This is also when you get to see Julie actually cry in the film. It is the first time. Julie is a strong independent woman.

When the movie first started I was amazed by the blue color theme. It made the scenes look intense and important. The music in this movie was also amazing. This movie was confusing. It took me awhile to figure things out. I’m still confused about some parts but I like if I watch it couple more times, I should be fine. Julie seemed like a sweet lady, but she was totally crazy. She had such much going on in her head. Blue is supposed to stand for liberty. I’m guessing that she is trying to shed away all of these problems so she can be free again. Julie becomes such a cold hearted person, and I feel as if she doesn’t know how to be normal again. She lost everything had so fast. She lost her husband and child. Her recovery has taken time. I’m speechless. I was never really sure how the movie ended. It was confusing.
