Perplexing...

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2003)

I literally just finished watching this film. Throughout it, I was trying to gain meaning from the images I was seeing. But, I'm coming to the realization that this film was pointless. What was it trying to say? It has no plot, which can be great, but if a film is not telling a story, than it has to be showing something deeper. BLUE has incredible scenes of human emotion, but also has scenes that are utterly pointless. The film was never going toward something.
It was beautifully filmed and wonderfully acted, but those virtues don't make up for the above problems. I was watching it, knowing I was supposed to like it. As an intelligent filmgoer I read the rave reviews from both critics and movie buffs, but I just didn't get the point of it all.
The film is perplexing to me because I don't understand why people love it so much.
