The film doesn't use much music, and most of the character descriptions use super close-up shots, which is like a documentary-like narrative. The wonderful thing is that this way of portraying doesn't make people feel bored or dizzy, but makes the film very substituting, quietly leading the audience into Adele's miniature life.
Adele's character
Adele has a very strong personality traits neutral (neutral character refers to the firmness and flexibility, rather than masculine), not only from the details of her behavior (such as eating with, sleeping with people The way of talking, the performance in the parade, etc.). In this regard, I think she is sexually uncertain, that is, whoever meets and falls in love with is whoever.
Adele likes blue. From the beginning of the movie, she explained that in her small space, from bedding to wallpaper, and her school bag are blue, floating in the blue sea looking up at the light blue sky. Including the last scene, she dressed up in a blue dress to bid farewell to this love. And the person she fell in love with at a glance had bright blue hair and blue eyes, that was her favorite color, and that person's body exuded blue warmth all the time.
Sex
This film also has a very positive and meaningful effect, that is, the 10-minute close-up description of the sex process of les can be called the popularization of sex knowledge for those patriarchs. Because they often disdain sex between women, and don't know that for women, sex is where love comes. The form of water and milk is ever-changing, and two soft bodies touch each other and melt into each other's skin. Looking at the 10-minute sex scene in the movie theater, I felt very touched. Women could see their own needs and desires in the body of each other, reflecting each other's understanding and communication.
love
But just like all forms of love, the so-called rightful couple is the long-term guarantee of love. What I mean by rightful pairing does not refer to family status, but to the values and outlook on life of both parties. A lover is a lifelong companion, and only the smoothness of spiritual communication is the cornerstone of the everlasting love. Adele's ignorance of art and her growth environment prevented her from entering the world of emma (I am deeply touched by this, and I always feel like an outsider when attending artist circles). The director said that the breakdown of this relationship stems from class differences. This is inevitable. Adele cannot share the worries for emma. Except for cooking, he is unable to play the role of the hostess, and the communication with emma cannot be in-depth. Although she loves emma, she can't walk into emma's heart. Interpreted from the existentialist perspective of love, it is nothing more than mutual needs and dependence. Adele and emma together let her learn about sex, philosophy, and art. She is making progress and expanding her cognitive field, which is growth for Adele. For emma, Adele is just a young lover who makes him passionate. Therefore, in this relationship, Adele is obviously at a disadvantage, and the unbalanced relationship will be broken one day, but sooner or later.
Adele's derailment was only because he sensed that Emma's feelings for him diminished and he was looking for self-comfort, but he still loved Emma so deeply in his heart. But the derailment is only the fuse of the breakup, and emma has long been distracted. (Thanks to the director's sense of substitution, I can fully feel Adele's heart) For an artist, love is a raging fire and an inspiration for creation. If you change to someone else, you may forgive Adele and continue to maintain the relationship, but emma won’t. She needs pure love. It's a toast to love), she loves desperately, and turns away when she doesn't love.
I really like the name of the original comic: blue is a warm color. Why not? The Smurf who suddenly appeared in his life and brought passion and love made Adele experience the warmth of love. There is a turning point in the movie. Emma's hair suddenly dyed back to golden brown. In fact, that was a sign that Adele's dream would wake up. From the beginning of the emma in Adele's spring dream, to several scenes of Adele sleeping later, all alluding to this beautiful dream of first love. The blue emma is a warm dream.
