Three Colors: Blue
You know that one joke about how English teachers are lame for asking what the significance of a clue curtain is? I was thinking about that the whole time I was watching this.
Probably one of my favorite movies about grief ever. In short, it's about how grief is important when dealing with loss and you can't disconnect yourself from human connection. Seems pretty simple, but the way it's executed is more than perfect.
Blue is used as a way to convey multiple things but grief is the biggest one. One of my favorite scenes is when she's in the pool and after agreeing to go to the strip club you see a group of girls jump in. It symbolizes her finally letting people in.
I also love how music is used, the sound design in this movie is top notch. I'll be real this might be one of the best directed and shot movies I've seen. It's crazy how mostly everything important shown in the movie isn't told through dialog, but shown to you in either music, color, or any other way visually.
I'm excited to watch the rest of the trilogy, this dude is becoming one of my favorite directors.
