At the end, the black priest Charlie pushed open the door of the church, the quiet piano, the pure female voice, the wind whistling from time to time, the blue powder falling from the sky, I no longer pay attention to the fate of the characters in the film, everything has been Submerged, everything is silent, they have their own destination, death or rebirth. However, the director explained everyone's ending, in which Jack and grandson Billy fly kites by the sea, enjoying family fun and giving people warm solace, even if they are in heaven.
I didn't deliberately want to watch this film, just because of the word Blue, I have always had a soft spot for melancholy blue, and I felt unwilling to let it go when I saw something related to blue. After watching the film for more than 20 minutes, all the characters in the film appeared, the scenes were rotated, and the stories of each person were not closely related, but they were all dark and beautiful pictures, which reminded me of the film Crash.

The only dog ​​that accompanied her disappeared again. She posted a dog-seeking notice nearby like crazy. With a withdrawn personality, without friends, and playing with puppets, Doolittle, who inherited his father's nearly bankrupt funeral company, bruised the dog.

He made a coffin and asked Doolittle to kill him, but failed again, at a restaurant, a widow who had been divorced for many years had an interest in her and sent her home, but nothing happened.
Jack, from a gangster background, is terminally ill and will die at any time. He was separated from his lover 25 years ago, looking for his daughter everywhere, and finally found his daughter-Scarlet in the velvet club. The person who came to the club to see her was her father, and at the moment she knew, she was emotional, crying and daring to accept the truth, Jack was beaten up by the club thugs and fell into the cold rain before Christmas .

The next morning, Scarlet left without saying goodbye. When Father Charlie was washing his car, his car was stolen. Through the sequins of his clothes, he found the transgender who stole the car at the club. He still asked the transgender to kill him, but in the end, the transgender who was emotional and abandoned by his lover committed suicide. In despair, the priest went to the church to talk to God. Doolittle also found Scarlett at the club, after which they had a good time, lying on the ground and laughing very happily. At the same time, Jack found the hospital where Scarlett's son was. At this time, his son was dying and the rescue failed. The doctor failed to contact Scarlett because her only phone number was the club number, and at this time she and Doolittle were on the In bed, Jack runs to the club to find Scarlet, but the door is locked, and he has a terminal illness and collapses against the wall. Father Charlie went to sleep on the floor of the church at night, had a dream, dreamed of his lover, there was a warm dialogue, and finally the nun woke him up, he walked to the door of the church, and when he opened the door, the sky was full of blue sky. color powder. Jack froze to death on the street, Scarlet was about to leave the city, Doolittle performed a puppet show for the children, and finally they hugged on the street, Jack and his grandson flew kites in heaven.
Compared with Crash, the plot is not very compact, but the structure and presentation are somewhat similar. The theme of this film is love and loneliness, everyone is tortured by love, tired of love, Scarlett to son, Charlie to dead lover, transgender love, Jack to dead lover - Scarlet's mother, to Scarlet love, but they are all lonely, the departure of their lover makes them lonely, movies are often abstracted from life, compared to real life, people living in a concrete forest, people in a materialistic world, people whose dreams are torn apart ... all need love, and yet we are all alone. In addition to the thought-provoking theme of this film, it has beautiful and dark images and the music complements each other, especially when Scarlet dances the striptease. Later, I checked it was Imogen Heap - Blanket, downloaded it, and wrote this something while listening.

    Literary film, identification completed. The plot is so depressing, the whole film is gray, and it looks so depressing. The plot development is much better than "The Wacky Factor". I have to say that this film is reminiscent of American drama films in the 1960s and 1970s under the very gentle soundtrack. Occasionally, people can be so moved by Wen Qing. Timothy doesn't make movies, he makes loneliness. A story of lonely city and about city loneliness.

Powder Blue quotes

  • Rose Johnny: I love you, sweet pea.

  • Velvet Larry: But on Christmas Eve, I'm gonna have a lot of very lonely people out of my club. Some even thinking about killing themselves. And they come here looking for companionship. They're looking for a little bit of love. They are looking for a little bit of hope.
