Blue

Blue is one of the tree color movies. It was the first of all three. It was directed by Krzysztof Kielslowski's in 1993. This movie is about Julia who was married to a famous music producer. In the begging of the movie she gets in a car accident and she loses her husband and her daughter. She was the only one in her family to survive. After being released from the hospital, Julie closes up the house she lived in with her family and takes an apartment in Paris without telling anyone, or keeping any clothing or objects from her old life, except for a chandelier of blue beads that presumably belonged to her daughter. When the movie goes on the lonely wife and mother Julie disassociates herself from all past memories and distances herself from former friendships. Also before Julie’s husband, he wrote the best music piece, but he wrote it in some type of secret langue him and his wife were the only ones who were able to read it. Julie went to her husband office to destroy the score for her late husband's last commissioned. But her assistance made copies of those papers and she spends them to Oliver who happened to be a musician.   
Julie reluctantly befriends an exotic dancer who is having an affair with one of the neighbors and helps her when she needs moral support. Despite her desire to live anonymously and alone, life in Paris forces Julie to confront elements of her past that she would rather not face, including Olivier, a friend of the couple, also a composer and former assistant of Patrice's at the conservatory, who is in love with her, and the fact that she is suspected to be the true author of her late husband's music. Olivier appears in a TV interview announcing that he shall try to complete Patrice's commission, and Julie also discovers that her late husband was having an affair.
While both trying to stop Olivier from completing the score and finding out that her husband's mistress was, she becomes more engaged despite her own efforts not to be. She tracks down Sandrine, Patrice's mistress, and finds out that she is carrying his child; Julie arranges for her to have her husband's house and recognition of his paternity for the child. This provokes her to begin a relationship with Olivier, and to resurrect her late husband's last composition, which has been changing according to her notes on Olivier's work. Olivier decides not to incorporate the changes suggested by Julie, stating that this piece is now his music and has ceased to be Patrice's. He says that she must either accept his composition with all its roughness or she must allow people to know the truth about her composition. She agrees on the grounds that the truth about her husband's music would not be revealed as her own work.
For me I really liked the movie. Also I felt it’s something that everyone can be related to which can help us to face our fears and make the most out of the thing we don’t like. Music plays an intricate element of the plot in that it illustrates Julie's efforts to be isolated from everything but cannot do it.
