Close encounters
My Blueberry Nights
so, i know everyone liked the international posters better and the reviews of the film itself haven’t been that able but my reaction to both was the same: “pretty!” fooling, i love this poster, but it’s whatev. at any merit, the flick picture show itself is an interesting little iota. i haven’t seen any of the director’s other movies so maybe my expectations weren’t as high but i enjoyed it quite a bit.the snapshots of elizabeth (norah jones) as she travels annoyed power spliced with cuts back to jude law (who is more appetizing than any blueberry pie (i’m hardly sayin’…)) and the way we get so involved in the stories of the people she encounters all give it a very impressionistic feel. elizabeth is undoubtedly the lead of this flick picture show but the cinema seldom seems be about her. as soon as she becomes convoluted with new people the movie feels congenial their storyline until she continues on her journey and leaves them behind completely. it’s a style that works really well because it helps elizabeth escape being too melodramatic. this is a story alongside a woman “finding herself” and certain negatives come with that tract, melodrama being one of them. my blueberry nights astutely avoids this pitfall by refusing to facilitate a make up for it all. about. elizabeth. we’re as a last resort interested in her because we can tell she’s interested in more than herself. when jones arrives underwrite at the diner at the movie’s close she’s much more confident than when she left because she’s seen what happens when people aren’t mindful of what’s important to them. a lesson take pleasure in that is easy to dismiss because we’ve heard it so many times ahead of but my blueberry nights makes us interested in the person knowledge the class and by doing so renews our interest in a deceptively simple message.
