If the real issue is love; genders are just a small detail

Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013)

Taglines: Blazingly emotional and explosively sexy.

Blue is the Warmest Color movie review. There is usually a woman and a man. A man meets the woman. Sometimes someone loves the other; sometimes they both love each other insanely. By the day, everything that seems to them to be extraordinary begins to become normal. Some minor problems grow. A curtain is knitted between them; They are disengaged; they need to leave. Then they cannot bear the pain of this.

Sometimes they come together, sometimes they can’t. As we said at the beginning, there is a woman and a man in the beginning of many things. Because all ordinary expectations are coded over these two genders. Abdellatif Kechiche’s movie, when it comes to love, believes that these practical practices are details. This time there is a woman. There is another woman. They fall in love with each other. This is quite usual… who has an objection?

Adele is the main woman of Blue is the Warmest Color. We are involved in her life as she tries to catch up on a bus. This first second, the feeling of being in the cinema becomes obscure from this sublime moment; The audience suddenly falls into another life, flowing with all its reality and ordinaryness. We go to school together with Adele, eat coffee, walk around the streets. In some moments, we even feel as if we are partnering with his choices. We feel witnessed by feeling guilty because we see their enthusiasm, disappointment, happiness and loneliness almost so closely. One day Adele meets Emma and we walk from the street they meet at that very moment.

Abdellatif Kechiche prefers to present the reality that is already present, rather than creating a reality while building the “Life of Adele”. As if there is no camera in the movie we watch; there is only the eye. This eye, following Adele, x-rayed her eating spaghetti, walking on the street and making love to a woman. Kechiche’s eyes are demolishing the soul walls of third parties who are accustomed to look ‘outside’ and ‘distant’. Just as you cannot escape from your own identity and self, you cannot escape from Adele in a three-hour period and you have to be ‘be it’. Abdellatif Kechiche extracts the illusory bones of the cinema one by one, leaving only an ordinary life, without any intervention, bee and natural state.

The aforementioned reality is such a consistency that each of the political, sociological and gender readings is actually rather insignificant. Because there is only one life in the middle, with its sin… With or without liking, it is unwarranted and unpretentious to call a life “not to live like this” or “to live like this”. The two women live as they feel and how they want to live. Antique conditioning between the sexes is obviously very weak in the face of love. Passions and love cannot be disputed, just as tastes and colors are not discussed. Blue is the Warmest Color, a film that can shake the antithesis about itself only by reference to a living life.

With only these realities, there is no place to reduce Adele to the actors, the director, the script and to determine the technical texts of the cinema. Everything you see about the truth in this movie is a step further. Let’s just say that you haven’t seen anything so shocking, persuasive, emotional and full of life for a long time. It may take time to come to yourself or you may not want to come to yourself.
