Blue is about Julie, a woman whose family gets in a
car crash and she is the only one to survive. Her husband was a composer who
left behind an unfinished piece. She sells her house and everything in it
except a blue chandelier and destroys her husband’s unfinished piece. She moves
out to escape the painful memories of her deceased family. She tries to cut all
ties to the outside world and becomes somewhat emotionless. However she cannot
escape the new and old people in her life. She ends up having an affair
with an old friend of the family's who was her husband’s assistant and is
determined to finish his piece. He thinks that Julie is the real composer of
this piece and asks for her help but she declines. She also befriends a hooker
in her apartment and helps her out when she is in trouble and finds out that
the hooker’s father is in the audience. She also finds out that her husband was
having an affair. She meets the woman her husband was having an affair with and
finds out that the woman is pregnant with his baby. Julie ends up giving the
woman her old house so the baby can be raised in a good home. She decides, in
the end, to help finish her late husband’s score with the help of the family
friend. She realized that, no matter how hard she tried to cut herself off, she
could not escape the people that needed her.
The major theme in this movie is coping. She tries
to cope with her family's death by cutting herself off from everything and
everyone, but she realizes that she cannot cut herself off completely. In the
end, it is music, more specifically hers or her husbands music, that truly
helped her cope with her family’s death.
The movie was a little too dark and depressing for my liking. I didn't
like all of the darkness throughout the movie. The movie felt eerie and
uncomfortable. Watching the woman made me feel as depressed as she was acting. The
movie just felt awkward in some way. However, I did like the use of the color
blue throughout the movie. I don't like it when the title of the movie has
nothing to do with the movie itself.
