Blue

Blue is the first part of Krzysztof Kieslowski's triology. It followed with White and Red. In Blue, it tells a story of a French woman whose husband and daughter have passed away in a car accident. She cannot accept horrible truth and try to throw all her grief belongings in order to forget her previous life with her dearest family. The main character Julie features by famous French actress Juliette Binoche. The main theme is about liberty which the color of blue represents. The color has been displayed a number of times.

Julie tried to end her life by having tons of pills in the hospital. But  she failed. After that she decided to get rid of the life and all belongings of the past and start a new life in somewhere knowing nobody. However, his dead husband, the famous composer, left an incomplete piece of symphonic music in manuscript that has been shrouded her life in darkness. She cannot even do anything with the music playing in her head all the time. She suffers every day and find difficult to renew her life alone. Finally, Julie’s late husband’s assistant at work who has fell in love with her takes great efforts to persuade Julie to work with him to complete this music. They did it. And the master piece made by three of them has been shown in public.

Blue is a beautiful movie. Krzysztof combined great shots and great background music. I like the way this movie changes from a tale about a loss of lifestyle to an affirmations to lifestyle. I like the way that little elements like rats in the house loom big in the imagined of our major personality, where as what others consider essential such as completing her spouse's concert seem very modest.
