To put it bluntly, this very grotesque and B-rated low-budget independent film is a near-perfect film. "Bluebells" uses a completely unknown person, but shows enough domineering, stylized photography and dim tones, adding countless compassion to the film. It is a bit dark humor, a bit cynical, and absurd with a hint of sympathy. It's a bit raw, but its frequent flashes on the visual composition really bombard your eyes.
The movie tells the story of a pair of good friends who modified their private cars in order to cope with the end of the world. When they were about to accept the World Judgment Day, a girl appeared to change their plans... The movie is very absurd, even a bit postmodern apocalypse. It feels that, under the arrangement of the director, "Bluebells" is full of all kinds of amazing thoughts. Even though the main line of its story is scattered and boneless, it promotes the development of the plot through those thoughts and a very shocking visual composition. Some reversals in the second half of the movie actually bring the clues together again. Even though the movie looks ridiculous, it is full of practical significance.
"Bluebells" spends most of its time sketching a love story. From the beginning to the end, director Evan Grodier scattered the clues idly and inserted crazy imagery, making the film extremely non-mainstream. The seemingly non-existent love between the male protagonist and the female protagonist ended because of the female protagonist's derailment. The director inserted a large number of narrative techniques of this stream of consciousness in the second half to highlight the characters very full. Maybe everyone in the film is a Loser, so the film's repressed sense of anger that cannot be vented makes the film itself fall into a state of anxiety.
The beauty of the film is that it pulls all the threads back together through the final crash. This climax setting not only has a sense of suspense, but also clearly expresses the thinking of the image. The confrontation between the absurd and the real makes the reversal of "Bluebells" full of drama, this highly satirical film, the final explosion is full, like the fire-breathing sedan - full of fire.
Maybe you will ignore this "Bluebells", but the director's ulterior motives make the weirdness full of realistic basis. It may not be regarded as a masterpiece, but it can be called a genius work.
