蓝色珍妮

从片名进入这部影片的，蓝色不知代表什么，深夜感觉静谧沉稳舒缓，果不其然镜头从蓝调开始，非常舒缓走进蓝色海洋一般，女主也很宁静，没有任何歇斯底里，对白轻柔带入故事。

没想到是典型les故事，到没有完全排斥，却让唯美剧情吸引。本来电影艺术就是生活的影像升华，导演细腻的镜头，把一个另类人性推至蓝色海洋。没有暴力，也没有夸张的爱情，就是普普通通女性生活，不去干扰别人，默默的追求自己理想生活，非常人性化，也是观影中很难看到的情节。

影片主题其实看完后，已经不太重要了，价值认同与理念差别，在对待师生关系上，是非常超越的升华。亚洲大多国度可能非认同，但影片的艺术就在这里，看似有悖常理的人性，却在导演处理上非常恰当，不重也不轻，认可与非好像没有什么可去争论的了。非常人性化的生活，发生在一个角落，在光天化日之下她们只是一个影子，同样需要生活工作学习和受人尊重。没有年龄差异，没有职业差别，更没有人格高低。

影片看完让人不免回忆起《断背山》，同样有着异曲同工的艺术效果。如果你电影看多了，如果你深夜想静下来…该片是最佳选择。因为如今网络大部分影片充满暴力恐怖，或是奇奇怪怪的烧脑影片，这些只会让你容易情绪失控，谈不上艺术，更多的是狂躁

《蓝色珍妮》是一部由英国女导演Georgia Oakley执导的电影，讲述了上世纪80年代英格兰东北部的一个特殊时期，当时英国政府推行了一项被称为“恐同法案”的法律，禁止当地政府和学校宣传同性恋，并阻止议会资助需要帮助的男女同性恋者。主角Jean是一名中学体育老师，白天她是Miss Jean，晚上则在同性恋酒吧里成为Baby Jean。然而学校里出现一名同性恋倾向的女生打破了她精心维持的平衡…

这部影片展现了Jean的矛盾和困境，以及她在保护自己的同时试图找到真正的自我身份的过程。影片获得了英国独立电影奖四项大奖，主角Rosy McEwen的表演也备受赞誉。

【[蓝色珍妮]在黑白颠倒的世界里 我们也能找到欢乐和希望 | 1980年代末颁布“恐同法案”的英国 [Blue Jean]-哔哩哔哩】

表面上是，女主太美了太美了太美了！金色短发加运动装的女体育老师，每一身衣服每一个表情举手投足都好好看好好看好好看！实际上是，她总是选择了我的选择，她的每一次不勇敢，勇不勇敢从来与年龄无关，与学历金钱地位关系不大，也很难通过后天习得，它像是刻在dna里的参数。我从来羡慕那些勇敢的人，可以活的自在不在乎别人的看法。同性恋叠加不勇敢，真的是double kill。开始有点儿get不到她的非主流女友，后面理解了Jean这么喜欢她的原因，如果我遇见Viv也会喜欢她，自在洒脱，三观很正（酒吧后面的对话），能理解你的局促小鹿，也会安慰你说你已经做的很好了不必苛责自己呀，情不知所起一往而深。两人再次见面的一幕太揪心了，Jean像个做错了事祈求原谅的小孩子一样双手耷拉肩膀抵在桌子上，Viv说的很对，过去的事过去了，但还会有新的事会发生，一个生性不勇敢的人无法适配一个生性自由洒脱的人啊。

另外，里面好像除了女主，其他的拉拉造型都很非主流，这算是一种刻板印象吧。现实中的拉拉不一定标配抽烟纹身奇异的发型装束皮衣机车等等，隔着五十米一眼就看出来是个拉子。如果同性恋都是这样的形象，那确实不是什么好的示范，也难怪担心教坏小孩子了。

导演很会拍，三场吻戏，你说导演和俩演员有一个是直的我都不信有这效果。

最后，女主演技真的很棒很棒很棒！

One thing makes it not that attract me is the really struggle things of Jean all from outside of her body, neither from inner self. It makes me feel like it hasn't to be a LGBT film rather any topic of it. Cause LGBT has more than that concern of self identification. What a pity! It is also another example of scenario lack of intimacy and details and makes motivation towards action. The night version ’s jane (private) and daytime Jean(public) shared same image of her identity interpretation. Feels like she’s resist for nothing but a LGBT label. Not very believable. Further, if the real confront is between she and society, why this society is represented by all females, but while she first and only time time chose to defeat it is by using a male as a shield, after that immediately turn around to sing the praises of another community of lesbian. 即使是少数群体的影像也仍然是残缺不全的，导演应该不是part of group吧

虽然有点感觉戛然而止，但我不明白为什么都在说它没有新意说它过时….至少生活在中国的人不能说它过时吧！即使是英国的八十年代但也是我们的现状啊。而且有很多同性恋性少数电影了是么？就那么一点点数量算什么反复说，异性恋爱情一样的套路说了一万遍也没人要求有新意吧，哦，也对，异性恋哪需要抗争呢，看几遍我们面对的挣扎就觉得厌烦了是吧！觉得我们祥林嫂了是吧？要拍啥才有新意？拍顺直人多么inclusive多么道德高尚接纳我们，甚至还被queer people bully就最好、最新。

我还继续过着每天被人assume是直的，还只能跟着打哈哈的日子，这么做只是单纯不想被别人“另眼相看”，女主装直是因为恐惧，这种恐惧和纠结我从小就需要承受，也曾经告诉自己这就是家常便饭甚至是手到擒来的本领了，看了这部电影我才想，为什么这么多年还是处于这样的状况下，我受够了，我不想过需要付出巨大勇气的“自由”生活，我也不想过不被看到、小心翼翼的“普通”生活。为什么我们没有更多的选择？

This film is largely about, I suppose, finding a group.

Of course, whatever related to minorities cannot escape from this topic, but in this film it stands out.

In Blue Jean the society is mainly revealed through TV shows, radio news and the chatty partygoers (Funny that Harringey gets to be mentioned). The party guys are totally unbearable - the arrogant speeches, frivolous conversations and repeated 'bad jokes', which serve as a microcosm of 1980s England. I like watching how Jean could initially be intact to such a society running around her. Though carrying a secret, she could be sitting alone during lunchtime and brush off a dinner invitation from a colleague without feeling awkwar, for she comfortably got her group as a shelter. It is after the quarrel with Viv that Jean's shelter started falling apart and the exterior material world was able to penetrate her previously safe haven. Actually, it's quite enviable that, instead of showing indifferent, quite a few people were actually carrying out heated discussion. Likewise, it seems to me that the UK's current LGBT-friendly climate has given directors the confidence and pride to continuously produce content on this theme without becoming tired.

The most touching moment to me is when Jean eventually took Lois to 'the group' where lesbians were talking about their stuffs using their 'discourse'. I relate to how thrilled it can be when you realise you find THE group of people - the deer who was in the headlight now walks into her herd. Being allowed to sit on the bench and observe is nice, but it's not what individuals are after. We all have a natural desire to find a group to which we can belong and with whom we can engage in conversation, even if it means starting with a simple 'What's...?'

Before admitting "I should have done something different", Jean once irritedly told Lois that, "I can't be what you expect me to do", despite that she must had been introduced to this group by (maybe Viv) someone and should know the significance of it. Yet without bravery and self-identity, she meant to not be that referral. Not becasue she didn't want to, but because she couldn't. Only when she gained the courage to say 'I'm a lesbian' aloud did she truly gain power and agency over her own identity.

storyline unfolds in a gentle, poetic manner that mirrors the organic rhythms of everyday life. Yet, sometimes things just don't flow as they should be - examples are those sleepless nights. You see, the soothing record can break and we are ultimately listen to ourselves' voice and be responsible for our own salvation.

Other thoughts:

It was shot on 16mm film - using this medium gives it a documentary-like quality to it.

I especially hate those guys who would lean over to 'help' wiping your absolutely clean mouth.

The Geordie accent is killer - downright captivating!!

There's something alluring about the way Jean smokes.

Last but not least, never underestimate how these dazzling young lads can turn out to be assholes : )
