Blue Is The Warmest Colour

You know, since the film is called Blue is The Warmest Color, I thought blue is a symbolic color of Emma and the warmness of Adele's relationship. But NOPE not in this adaptation. Instead Adele is being used as a typical teenage girl who went through sexual depravity while being used a sexual object throughout the film. Oct 24, 2013 Blue Is the Warmest Color has been mired in controversy from the beginning. Even before winning the Palme d’Or, the three-hour French lesbian love story was Cannes’ most buzzed-about film. Blue is the warmest colour. To celebrate National Mother's Day on Aug 12, executive pastry chef Pablo Gicquel has designed a 'My Heart Belongs To You' cake featuring blueberries, vanilla ganache.

  The heavy criticisms of this film against its straight male gaze are clearly justified. While there are surely women who enjoy those scenes as well, the context certainly reveals that these scenes were made with the prurient desires of cishet men in mind. The improbability of some of the scenes shows who this is for. And that detracts heavily from the film, but the truth is, it's more than just the sex scenes.

  This is the lesbian Call Me By Your Name.

  An underage girl--that the film makes sure we know is underage--begins a relationship with an older woman, and in the end, she's crushed by it. It's melancholy and supposedly sweet and about maturation and love and.. blah. Knowing…

• i didn't want to watch this when i was younger because i thought it was going to turn me into a lesbian and now i'm watching it because I AM a lesbian! i love this character development

  with that being said, i fucking hated it. my main problem was the unnecessary sex scenes. i mean, they do nothing for the plot. that's when you know it was directed by a straight man for straight men.
  abdellatif was recently accused of sexual assault, by the way. the guy who made lea seydoux feel like a prostitute??? the man who made both lea and adele humiliated??? who would've thought!

  this is not the representation we deserve.

• The story of a young girl named Adèle who's rolling in the deep of love. Fuckin' class. Thomas is no Brad Pitt. Yummy bolognese! Autobus chit-chat. Gypsy music is the shit. Blue-hair-stare.

• this movie kills me. it literally breaks me. there is no film about love better than this. nothing. i'm so sad.
  
  'But I have infinite tenderness for you. I always will. My whole life.'

• the fact that this film is rated so high tells us EXACTLY what we need to know about lgbt representation in mainstream media because i cannot find one good thing to say about this film

• That wasn't a film, that was an experience, that was a slice of life.
  A big, brutal, honest and sincere slice of life.

• This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  We usually associate love with the color red (thanks to Wong Kar Wai, maybe). But for Adele, love came to her as short blue hair. Since then, almost everywhere she looked, she saw blue. Flowers stood out more, jeans were highlighted, the sky devoured her vision. So if she considers blue as the warmest color, who are we to correct her? The film invites us to see the world through Adele's eyes, and feel the infinite tenderness that she received from Emma. Whenever there's an emotional gap between the couple, the color fades. When they touch, the entire city seems to be painted over. It's evident that Emma's influence on Adele is absolute, now imagine that influence being forcefully ripped…

• i have infinite tenderness for you

  goddamn they both ate each other’s ass like they was fucking starving 😳

• this is exactly the kind of movie 'feminist men' would watch as an excuse to see two girls having sex without being porn, and call it art
  i hate how they portray lesbians and i feel like i've wasted three hours of my life that i can never recover

  also, can you PLEASE eat with your mouth shut???

• Blue Is the Warmest Color is an outstanding film about a girl who is trying to find herself. It's a coming of age film that is like nothing I've ever seen. This is truly a beautiful movie. I almost can't even call this a film because it seemed so real. Honestly, I felt like I was standing right on the side seeing everything unfold in person. These two women give the most sincere and honest performances that I have ever seen. Adele Exarchopoulos gives the BEST female performance of 2013. Install macos mojave unsupported mac. She was seriously beyond great. Lea Seydoux was outstanding as well.

  Everything looked amazing; the camerawork and shots were something else. It added so much to the movie. The way…

• sorry only lesbians can wear blue now i don't make the rules

• I, I FOLLOW 😔 I FOLLOW YOU 😥 DEEP SEA BABY 😩 I FOLLOW YOU 😭

Blue Is the Warmest Color (Le bleu est une couleur chaude, originally announced as Blue Angel) is a French graphic novel by Jul Maroh, published by Glénat in March 2010.^[1] The English-language edition was published by Arsenal Pulp Press in 2013. The novel tells a love story between two young women in France at the end of the 1990s. Abdelatif Kechiche directed a film adaptation in 2013, titled Blue Is the Warmest Colour, which was awarded the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

Summary[edit]

The story takes place in France between the years of 1994 and 2008. After the death of her partner Clémentine, Emma goes to the home of Clémentine's parents, Daniel and Fabienne, in accordance with Clémentine's will, to request access to Clémentine's personal diary. Emma must face the hostility of Clémentine's father—somewhat off-set by Clémentine's welcoming mother. The story then follows Emma as she reads Clémentine's diary, which tells the whole story of the relationship between the two young women from Clémentine's teenage years and her first meeting with Emma to her untimely death.

In the beginning, Clémentine meets a boy, Thomas, who is a student in Terminale (final year of lycée, the French equivalent of senior high school or sixth-form college); they like each other, but soon afterwards, Clémentine becomes intrigued by a chance meeting with a blue-haired young woman on the arm of another woman named Sabine Decocq. For Clémentine, it is love at first sight. Unable to forget this encounter she starts to have doubts about her sexuality—but decides to date Thomas because she wants to feel normal. Six months later, however, Clémentine is unable to have sex with Thomas and breaks up with him. Feeling depressed, she is helped by one of her male friends, Valentin, to whom she confesses everything; Valentin tells her that he has already dated a boy, which Clémentine finds quite comforting.

One evening shortly thereafter, Valentin takes Clémentine to some gay bars. Clémentine sees the blue-haired young woman again with Sabine at a lesbian bar. The blue-haired girl comes to talk to Clémentine and introduces herself as Emma. The two keep in touch and become friends, while Clémentine secretly falls in love with Emma. Clémentine then has to face the gossip and homophobic taunts from some of her schoolmates when they hear that she and Emma were in a gay bar together. Some time later, while the relationship between Emma and Sabine has somewhat stalled (mainly because Sabine is often cheating on her), Clémentine eventually confides her feelings to Emma, who, in turn, says she is in love with her. The girls have sex and start an affair. Emma eventually finds the strength to break up with Sabine and starts living with Clémentine. One night, when the two young women spend the evening together at Clémentine's place, Emma walks into the kitchen completely naked to get a glass of milk and Clémentine's mother catches her. Clémentine's parents then find both of them nude in the bedroom and their reaction is violently hostile: Clémentine is thrown out of her home, along with Emma.

Clémentine then starts living at Emma's parents' place; the two women subsequently get a home of their own and live there happily for several years. Emma becomes an artist, while Clémentine becomes a teacher in high school. Emma starts to become politically involved and takes part in LGBT activism, while Clémentine prefers to keep her sexuality private. One day, Emma discovers that Clémentine cheated on her with a male colleague; she angrily breaks up with her and forcibly makes her leave. Clémentine, who has taken refuge at Valentin's place, becomes depressed and addicted to pills. Valentin ends up organising a meeting and leaves both women alone on a beach. Still in love with each other, they reconcile, but Clémentine is undone by her addiction to certain pills. Clémentine's addiction results in a seizure and she ends up at the hospital, where Emma discovers that she is not allowed access to her at first. Clémentine's parents and Emma eventually learn that it is too late to save her; the damage from her drug-taking is too great. Clémentine writes the final pages of her diary at the hospital, and then dies. As Emma reads the conclusion of the diary, she remembers that Clémentine urged her to continue living her life as she knows it.

Blue Is The Warmest Colour Online

While the first two thirds of the film are similar (albeit with Clémentine renamed 'Adèle'), the ending is different from the book, in which Adèle is still alive, and the two lovers split up due to what is strongly hinted to be irreconcilable differences between them.
