As for the meaning of "Blue is the warmest color", it is also worth investigating. In addition to being the name of the comics, blue also represents a spirit, a symbol, and an identity in the movie, which is between subculture and popular culture. between. For Adele, blue is for love. Wandering between cool and warm colors, cold and warm. No matter what the name of the film is, it does not detract from its artistic value. From the careful arrangement of the text to the description of the chaotic girlish feelings and the tangled boundaries of gender, what we see is the exact growth. Growth is often weightless, curious, and like a deer ramming around, and there will be problems behind no matter how many emotions. To love someone does not necessarily have to be possessed, but it is enough to seek it in the moment.
The three-hour movie spanned six years in the light and shadow time, like a small epic, and the emotions could not endure the itch for seven years. Or the outside world will inevitably have a little curiosity and imagination about this movie, thinking that this is a movie of two girls falling in love, and it will be characterized as a gay movie. Director Abdel Kechiche stated in advance that this is not a gay movie, but a love story. And some clues also let us see that this is not a gay movie at all, Adele in the film just happened to fall in love with a masculine girl, Emma. In fact, she also loves boys, compared to bisexual arguments. Adele's identity is more like pansexual, she doesn't restrict who she should fall in love with. When it comes to the topic of sexual orientation, it may be too complicated, but after all, it directly tells the audience to love if they should love it, no matter what gender it is, and it does not need to regulate too many things, and does not need to follow its own heart without relying on traditional values.
Part of the film is about existentialism. Friendships between same-sex and opposite-sex exist. At the same time, we also need to accept and tolerate the values of different people. The text arrangement of the film has ulterior motives, and I know a little bit about the literature quoted in the film, from the initial torture of what is meant by "missing a corner of the heart", then to the composition of tragedy, and then to the "unimportant" in children's literature. ". The role of literature in the film is fueling the flames, it is also the testimony of this relationship, and it is also the question of the protagonist Adele. Because of love, don't let yourself regret it, but this kind of love was announced early in the morning and ended in tragedy. At the same time, the film is also quite philosophical and artistic, art is talked about in the circle, and some theories are also mentioned in the dialogue. It shows that the French people's intellectual and literary attitudes are reflected in their lives, and they also build personal independence and autonomy in addition to their sentiments.
When a literary woman meets an artistic woman, one has ideals, the other loves freedom, the other is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. One out of the closet and one in the closet. One loyal, one erratic. One family is conservative, the other is open. Both of them are independent individuals, but what about love, one mistake is enough to prove eternal hatred. Love is not possession, it is enough to see the other person happy. I used to be crazy, love is easy, but it is difficult to maintain. There is an important element in youth movies. Those young people have counter-revolutionary genes and are unwilling to compromise. And both of them have this factor, walking on the street and shouting, wanting to have a better future. This kind of girl's feelings seem familiar, but also so ignorant and stupid, especially the green onion exuding from Adele's body, the explosion of hormones, the desire for the body, and the love for her lover.
As for sex, it is also very important in the movie, not to satisfy the imagination of same-sex sex, but to show the aesthetic side of women. It's not about porn, it's about natural beauty. It doesn't need to be too much about whether it is true or false, but it adds a sense of beauty to the film and allows us to see the transformation of the relationship. The relationship between the two heroines is also like a pair of lovers, and their gestures and behaviors make people indulge in this relationship. The young and vigorous girl was washed away by lead, and tried the bitter fruit of cruel youth.
The first part of the movie is more amiable. Even though there are girls who are confused, ignorant and ignorant, Adele is an amiable and lovely girl. Love at first sight not only happens inside the movie, but also outside the movie. It is locked from the beginning. eyeball. The second half is miserable, no matter how hard you beg, but you get no return, you go from heaven to hell. A simple love, mixed with intellectual and easily felt emotions. Regardless of gender, you will feel it. Perhaps it is such a feature film that does not have a cold scene, hooks the audience's soul, and gets a Palme d'Or along the way.
In terms of the language of the film, it is not difficult to find that Emma's blue suit is very eye-catching in the first half, and the color also changes in the latter part, just like her style of painting. Narratively, this transformation has created a distinct look and feel for the film. Nothing is eternal, and like feelings, it doesn't last forever. The film is also thoughtfully arranged in it, using details to express changes.
If "your name is my last name", then "Emma is Adele's life". She can affect her emotions anytime and anywhere, and it is because of this emotion that she truly feels pain. In and out of the play, the blood is boiling, as if I have experienced it once. In the film, a large number of close-up shots are also used to enlarge the face of the heroine. It presents a provocative, seductive, sexy, youthful, beautiful, and lovely side, and also shows some details of this relationship. A look is enough to kill people's tenderness, and it can also explain people's complexity, sometimes for the sake of Telling some white lies to protect yourself.
It really doesn't matter if you fall in love with a man or a woman. Movies let us see true love, and also let us see the virtuality and reality of the emotional world. I feel the sublimation of love from it, and experience an ordinary but so important love.
