History Film / BlueIsTheWarmestColor

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Adèle might have lost the love of her life but after her closure in the caf&eacute and finally accepting that she has to continue living without Emma, she is finally ready to accept that they weren't meant to be together, move on and find herself.]]

The plot is nearly identical to the comic.

* {{Irony}}:
** [[spoiler:Adèle and Emma are initially drawn together [[OppositesAttract because of their differences]] in personality and interests, which end up driving them apart in the end as Emma moves on to date someone who's more like her. As an extra layer of irony, Adèle turns down Thomas because she believes they have little in common.]]

* AdaptationalEndingChange: The film ignores the source material's reconciliation and eventual DownerEnding, leaving the leads broken up and Adèle going her own way.

* HarmonyVersusDiscipline: Adèle is content to accept things as they are, while Emma is constantly seeking new information. [[spoiler:While this creates balance for them at first, it quickly becomes clear that they intrinsically cannot understand each other, and Emma breaks up with Adèle to date someone more similar to her.]]

** [[spoiler:The differences between the two girls were the very things that drew them irresistibly together but ultimately became the wedge that severed their relationship. Emma was drawn to Adèle's humor and naivete and she was taken in by her seemingly simplistic approach to things but she realized that Adèle will remain uninterested in her artistic leanings just as she is not particularly interested in Adèle's profession. Adèle is completely in love with Emma and is utterly enamored by her independence and self-confidence but she realizes, albeit not openly (most of all to herself), that Emma is such a free spirit and refuses to have her life narrowed down by only a few creative pursuits and limited self-complexity that she became anxious when Emma becomes more focused on her art and emerging success and does not have as much time for her]].
** Adèle finds a potential lover in Thomas but she seeks a teacher, not a student. One of her reasons for breaking up with him is that they have little in common in terms of interests. [[spoiler: Emma at first enjoys educating Adèle and seduces her with her knowledge of philosophy and high art but she eventually chooses Lise with whom she may not have a passionate sexual relationship, but is her equal in conversation and a kindred spirit in her professional and creative passion]].

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Joachim is regarded by Emma as a genius and is the biggest gallery owner in Lille. He is also crucial to Emma's success as an artist. He condescendingly expounds on the mysticism of the female orgasm and is quite arrogant about intellectualizing them even in front of other female artists. Meanwhile, Adèle listens to the conversation without him knowing that she experiences the very thing which he painstakingly attempts to understand and wants to witness in art but will always be out of his reach.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Adèle and Emma have an immediate connection when they first see each other. [[spoiler:Deconstructed when both girls realize that passion isn't enough to keep a relationship together, especially when it becomes clear Adèle's feelings for Emma are strong than the reciprocation.]]
* LoveHurts:
** Oh, where to begin. [[spoiler: The second half of the movie could very well be entitled, ''Adèle, the [[TheWoobie Woobie'']] because of her loneliness even when she was still with Emma and the latter's growing emotional distance and the development of her personality due to her success and added priorities. It doesn't help that Adèle has no other life aside from her occupation and her domestic duties. This singular focus of Adèle worked against her in the sudden turn of events when one night, that she expects to be a quiet evening ends up in a devastating break up which left her from lonely to broken all in a space of a few minutes.]]
** From the moment she sees Emma in the street until she leaves the gallery, Adèle strongly vacillates between extreme emotions of ecstasy, euphoria, loneliness and grief during her relationship with Emma, [[spoiler:its end and beyond.]] It is apparent that from the very moment she sees her, Emma is all she thinks about which makes her presence strong in the film even when she is not there considering that the character is only present for a little over a half of the movie's duration at the very most.
** It is a strong possibility that Adèle has dreamed of the encounter with Emma in the café for years [[spoiler:and it appears that she was full of hope that she and Emma will get back together starting from her offer to pay Emma in "flesh and blood" as payment for a painting, until Emma gives in to her advances but ultimately chooses to be loyal to Lise and her daughter. Adèle asks if Emma will still see her again to which she tearfully replies "no" that breaks Adèle's heart into a million little pieces.]]
** [[spoiler:Adèle asks Emma if she still loves her, and she shakes her head in response. Emma is hurt and full of grief for herself due to the loss of the relationship as she felt that everything she felt for Adèle and with Adèle all came back in full force when she momentarily gave in to Adèle's passion. Emma is helpless in witnessing her despair but nevertheless reassures her that she feels an infinite tenderness for her that will last and she will continue to cherish for the rest of her life. Poor Adèle can only sob in response and tries to joke about being prone to crying as she tries to make light of her overwhelming feelings of hopelessness.]]

* MagicalMinorityPerson: Adèle's only friend at Emma's party, an Arab actor who's [[TypeCasting typecasted]] as Islamic terrorists because of his origins (and almost becomes the OnlySaneMan by his second appearance in the final scene).

* MeaningfulEcho: Adèle tells Valentin after losing her virginity to Thomas that she is not being true to herself when she found herself discontented afterwards expecting that she will learn to love him. She makes light of her conundrum between acknowledging her feelings for another woman and her expectations of what she is supposed to be by jokingly rehearsing her forthcoming confession to Thomas by saying that she will appear before him looking haggardly and hideous as she currently appears with her tears and snot all over. She tells Valentin that Thomas will probably be disgusted by her less than appealing appearance that he wouldn't love her anymore and will tell her "to get lost. Beat it." [[spoiler:Later in the café, Adèle realizes that everything is over between her and Emma that even if she is deeply in love with her, she respects Emma's decision to not get back with her and that she is no longer in love with her. Adèle tries to put together what she has left after the revelation that just about nearly breaks her by telling Emma that she can leave when she wants to and makes light of it by saying "go on, beat it," echoing what Thomas might have said when he actually cries silently about being rejected. Adèle imagines that the rejected might have been the recipient of the command given by the person to tell them to leave when it is actually the opposite. Adèle jokingly says that Thomas will say it since he's the one who will reject her when actually, she who is rejected says it to Emma although in jest as she indicates that she respects her decision.]]
* MeasuringTheMarigolds: Averted with Emma and played straight with Adèle. Emma is more intellectual and finds great delight in analyzing and critiquing the works of great artists while Adèle is more visceral, raw and more concerned with being in the moment. In one of the most beautiful scenes in the film, Adèle explains that she does not like it when a teacher dissects literature into pieces for study for it hampers her imagination and it prevents her from fully experiencing the intricacy of emotions that she gets from reading.
* TheMissusAndTheEx: [[spoiler:Lise is technically Emma's common law wife since they are raising a child together and plans to be with her indefinitely. At the gallery, Emma keeps looking at Adèle from time to time while entertaining her guest's questions but she was discomfited when she turned to look at Adèle at exactly the right moment when Lise approaches her to have a polite conversation.]]

* OhCrap: Happens twice in the movie. Adèle's "tell" when she's caught lying expresses itself when her jaw tenses. This has happened in both occasions
** [[spoiler:Adèle is totally afraid of the dire consequences that are to happen as Emma asks her who was the guy who dropped her off]]
** Adèle has been running out of options on how to dodge her bullying ''friends''' questions on what her relationship with the blue haired tomboy is after they saw them leave together without Adèle saying goodbye to them the day before.
* TheOner: The film is chock-full of this since Kechiche used it as a means to focus on Adèle's growth and story. One particular scene was when she left the bathroom in dejection after Beatrice turned down her kisses and affection right until Valentin catches up with her.

* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler:Although Adèle sleeps with men on different occasions, she did this out of loneliness and peer pressure but ultimately only has eyes for Emma. She is understandably devastated and depressed even after three years since they broke up.]]

* SlobsVersusSnobs: A crucial aspect of the movie, and of Kechiche's ''œuvre''.
** Adèle and Emma eating dinner with the former's parents while being served spaghetti bolognaise, a simple and affordable dish compared to the couple eating with Emma's parents at their home with the choice of having the finest white wine and fresh, expensive, and much coveted oysters from Triere.
** At Emma's party, Samir and Adèle are bonding over his fondness for Adèle's bolognaise and his wry comments of finding work as an actor with his Arabian heritage while Emma and friends are more interested in discussing Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Emma and Adèle respectively. Emma displays high creativity in her art but she is also particular about technique and styles that were used by her favorite artists and it is indicated that they have influenced her work and it serves her well. Adèle refuses to have things reduced to a template which is why she does not like to analyze literature for it confines her to a set of thinking process that strictly confines her creativity and prefers to search and find things on her own. In real life, Adèle Exarchopoulos said that her acting style is instinctive and she appears to be comfortable with Kechiche's "blank slate" school of acting while Lea Seydoux herself stated that she is more cerebral. Adèle recounted in an interview that she was anxious on the first day of filming when she realized that she is not as prepared as evidenced when Lea is very thorough in asking questions to Kechiche in order to understand her character better.
* TenderTears: Adèle wears her heart on her sleeve and is very passionate which makes her very emotional and cries at the slightest provocation whenever she's moved or feeling that she's being inauthentic.

* WomanScorned: [[spoiler:Emma is DEFINITELY not the forgiving type. She is frightening in her rage when she confronts Adèle after she sees her passionately kissing a male colleague]].

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The characters in the comic book are by no means unattractive and the love scenes are sweet however, not everyone is as strikingly attractive as Creator/LeaSeydoux and Creator/AdeleExarchopoulos . [[http://www.interviewmagazine.com/film/lea-seydoux-adele-exarchopoulos#slideshow_58105.5 Pictures from their interview with Zoe Wollf]] in ''Interview Magazine''.
* AdaptationExpansion: The movie explored a lot of complex and realistic issues that involve two people from their consummate passion in their courtship up to the complacency that comes along with being in a domestic partnership. While Emma's character wasn't given a backstory like in the comic book, she and Adele's characterization are more complex and more layered. Their conflicts are also more difficult, realistic, and multi-faceted.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Emma at the second part of the film where she has blonde hair and wears more sophisticated clothing that is expected of a well-respected artist. It also symbolizes the passage of time between the two chapters and how much her character has other priorities aside from her domestic life.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Adèle might have lost the love of her life but after her closure in the café and finally accepting that she has to continue living without Emma, she is finally ready to move on and to find herself even if it means seeking her identity all over again which made her just as unsatisfied at the beginning of the film. At least, whatever decision she makes would be her own from then on. First love is definitely significant but it may not be the right kind of love nor the best kind of love, at least for Adèle.]]
* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:Adèle repeatedly denying to Emma that the guy who dropped her off is having an affair with her]]

* {{Bookends}}: [[spoiler:The hangdrum music plays when Adèle sees Emma for the first time and it also does when she leaves the gallery which could possibly be the last time she'll ever see her]].

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Poor Adèle after the break-up and three years after at least until she leaves the gallery at the end of the film where she gets her closure]].

* CerebusCallback: The bench where the two lovers had their first serious and in-depth conversation and subsequently spent their passionate dates on plays a very important part in Adèle's fond memories. [[spoiler:This was referenced in Chapter 2 when she sleeps on it alone to remember and absorb of what remains of her relationship with Emma.]]

* TheCharmer:
** Emma begins to display her suave and confident aura from when she pointedly tells the woman that Adèle is her cousin in order to ward her off as she gets the message. She proceeds to talk to Adèle about high art while maintaining the girl's interest. Also, she uses her flirtatious charm as she moves closer and closer to her and she even gets Adèle to taste her strawberry milk while drinking from the same straw that Adèle used.
** Emma is a practiced seducer and certainly knows her moves that she uses her talent in drawing to create a portrait of Adèle. She gets to make Adèle pose for her and it's possible that she gets to keep a copy of the picture that she promises to give Adèle if she's finished with it. Smooth.

* ComfortFood: It is indicated that Adèle turns to candy bars and other sweets for comfort when she's depressed.

** The whole of Chapter 1 and all of Chapter 2

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Emma is the catalyst for setting the story in motion as it dawns on Adèle the answer to her teacher's question on how does one know if the heart is missing something.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Adèle has the look of someone who's struck by lightning upon locking eyes with Emma that she had to be honked twice by vehicles as she continues to cross the street.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Emma's change of hair color is indicative not only of the three years gap after the break-up with Adèle, but her own personal growth towards becoming a mature partner.

* [[spoiler:TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest]]
* FishOutOfWater: Adèle is full of trepidation and is very uncomfortable when she steps into a lesbian bar for the first time. The other patrons took notice of this and tried to take advantage of her naivete by flirting with her. Even Emma also notes that an underage, ostensibly straight, curious girl doesn't come to these places very often.

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: {{Averted}}. [[spoiler: Adèle cheats on Emma because she feels alone and the frigid Emma is emotionally distant. Though we sympathize with her, as she's the main character and is clearly feeling depressed, she gets zero slack from Emma even after she grovels to her and is thrown out of Emma's home. [[DidNotGetTheGirl And then they never get back together, either.]]]]

* HarmonyVersusDiscipline: Adèle and Emma respectively. Adèle is content to accept things as they are and is not as interested as Emma in finding out which came first, existence or essence which is the very thing that they discussed when Emma explains Existentialism to her. Meanwhile, Emma is very interested in philosophy, art theory and criticism. Adèle is contented to serve as a muse for Emma however, [[spoiler:Emma is not contented with passion as the sole basis for sustaining a relationship and eventually chooses to be with Lise with whom she can have spirited discussions with and has the same drive and ambition as her.]]

* OppositesAttract: {{Deconstructed}}. It just [[spoiler: doesn't work out in the long run. Emma and Adèle's relationship is based on strong physical attraction, but their different character traits and interests ultimately drive them apart.]]
* PastimesProvePersonality: Emma's snooty and snobbish friends find it no longer interesting to carry on a conversation with Adèle, after finding out that she's a school teacher whom they think may not be adequate enough to participate in their discussions about high art.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Abdellatif Kechiche completely diverged from the comic book and he extended this agenda to his actresses by encouraging them to diverge from his own script through improvisation. Kechiche made use of the advantages that film offered such as doing lingering shots of Adèle in every moment of her life to convey her emotions and passion in order to give her character more depth as well as using his techniques to draw out realistic performances from his actresses to give them more complexities. He wanted his actresses to react and not to act so as to give the film a raw effect and for it to have a huge emotional impact on the audience. He also took advantage of leaving the camera running in order to give the audience the feeling that they are witnessing and experiencing Adèle's important moments with her.

* RedOniBlueOni: Adèle is passionate, emotional and instinctive while Emma is more cerebral, intellectual, and self-possessed.
* RomanticismVersusEnlightenment: Adèle prefers not to have everything that she reads be explained to her thoroughly even if the symbolism and scenes may go way over her head. She reads in order to provide her with more avenues for possibilities and to expand her imagination. Emma is a very good artist but is also cerebral and intellectual that while her profession requires instinct and intuition, she also prefers the very qualities that make a great artist's work noteworthy and exceptional. She also analyzes the very reasons why she's taken by a painter's work and admires the precision that theory and criticism provides.

* SecretRelationship: Adèle introduces Emma to her parents as her philosophy tutor and her mother even thanks her for helping Adèle improve her grades. Emma was a little hurt by this to judge from her facial expression but later appears to brush it off after they have sex later in Adèle's room and jokingly asks her if she's enjoying her philosophy lessons.

* ShakingHerHairLoose: Adèle does this several times.

* TalkingInBed: In the first chapter, Emma and Adèle share sweet moments talking together after sex and falling in love. This is contrasted with the same act in the second chapter, where their flame is beginning to die out and Emma instead

* AdaptationalModesty: Averted. Some say this aspect of the movie is too [[{{Fanservice}} fanservicey]]; others argue that the all-consuming passion provides a contrast to the powerful emotions that will transpire later in the confrontation between the two lovers.

* DoesNotLikeSpam: Adèle will continue to eat anything even if she's already full but you can never make her eat shellfish in any occasion. Subverted later though when she tries one with Emma's guidance and ends up liking it.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Adèle eating bolognese with abandon while licking even the knife clean of its sauce is representative of her voraciousness and hunger to fully experiencing everything that she has a passion for.

** Adèle was initially full of hope when Béatrice kisses her that she was smiling during dinner that her parents even took notice of it considering the confusion and loneliness she felt in the past scenes. One can't help but feel bad for her when Beatrice turns her down when she kisses her again and says that it didn't mean anything.
** [[spoiler: For those who haven't read the reviews and/or watched the film with a blank slate, the café scene was more heartbreaking when Emma accepted Adèle's advances with powerful ardor but was ultimately turned down. It is even more devastating because of the investment that the audience has on the relationship of the characters especially when they are cheering for them to get back together. One truly feels for Adèle when she realizes that no matter how attracted Emma is to her, there is no chance that they will ever be reunited]].

* ImmodestOrgasm: {{Invoked}} by Emma and averted with Adèle after she had her orgasm when they had sex in the latter's room. They are both relieved when Adèle managed to be as quiet as possible and Emma is grateful and finds it adorable that she did all that she could so as not to be heard by her parents.

* TheMissusAndTheEx: [[spoiler:Lise is technically Emma's common law wife since they are raising a child together and plans to be with her indefinitely. At the gallery, Emma keeps looking at Adèle from time to time while entertaining her guest's questions but she was discomfited when she turned to look at Adèle at exactly the right moment when Lise approaches her to have a polite conversation]]

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Adèle.
* StealthInsult: Emma gives a back handed compliment to Adèle's father saying that his bolognese is "simple" but sumptuous.
* StepfordSmiler: It is heartbreaking to see Adèle smiling and doing her best not to break down into tears during the folk dance with her students. It is only when they all left the classroom for the summer that she breaks down entirely.

* TalkingInBed:
** The most romantic and sweetest scene happens when Adèle and Emma talk after having sex in the former's room as Emma whispers ''Mon, Amour'' to Adèle while she tethers her from her powerful orgasm and is shown to be the height of their honeymoon phase. It is also quite funny that Adèle and Emma can share a beautiful conversation where they talk about random things considering that they have spent most of their scenes basking in each other's passionate sexual energy. This is particularly noteworthy since the viewers have noticed that there is no formal declaration of love between the two but it is positively endearing when we are entreated to one that can qualify as such.
** Their conversation after Emma's party where the two lay in bed together can serve as a contrast for the aforementioned scene. [[spoiler: This is also a hint of what appears to be irreconcilable differences between the couple as Emma attempts to encourage Adèle to find other creative outlets aside from teaching. This also gives an indication of the complexity of the characters as the audience is shown to their divergent attitudes towards career and future plans. Emma is shown to have Adèle's best interests in mind but was made aware that she doesn't think highly of Adèle's career although she does have a point. Adèle is shown to be absolutely devoted to Emma and it is true that her work is a valid creative outlet yet Emma is correct in this regard that she shouldn't exhaust her efforts in only a few aspects of her life for this wouldn't be sufficient to bring her self-confidence. It would also lead her to think of herself as more than worthy that she would not only base her self worth on how much she is needed by those that she loves and cares for.]]

* BookDumb: Thomas can be easily seen as intellectually inferior to Adèle since he's not much of a reader but is actually good in Math. He is also reasonably talented in music and decided to learn on his own because he didn't like his music classes. He learned to play various musical instruments by listening and watching videos.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Adèle is complimented by Beatrice, a female friend as one of the prettiest girls in their grade. This trope applies to both the actresses as well in real life.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Emma's change of hair color is indicative of the three years gap after the break-up with Adèle.

* InelegantBlubbering: [[spoiler:Adèle's feral cries of desperation were all the more heartbreaking when her tears and snot mix as she feels that her world is falling apart after Emma throws her out of the house. Also in the café scene where her heartbreak is totally sympathetic and gut-wrenching upon hearing Emma say that she no longer loves her.]] Emma points out to Adèle gently that she usually cries for no reason to make light of their overwhelming emotions as she does her best to console Adèle.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Adèle and Emma when they first saw each other. [[spoiler:At the second half of the film though, Emma is becoming aware that it's sex that's keeping them together whereas Adèle is consummate in her love for Emma]].

%%* MaleFrontalNudity: We do see a glimpse of Thomas' soldier.
%%* MaleGaze: The sex scenes suffers from this, and Julie Maroh herself complained about it, calling it "ridiculous".

* PrideParade

* RedOniBlueOni: Adèle is passionate, emotional and instinctive while Emma is more cerebral, intellectual, and self-possessed. In real life also since Adèle Exarchopoulos is more spontaneous and gregarious in interviews while Léa Seydoux is seen as more reserved and shy. Though frequently in their interviews together, Seydoux is caught up by her co-star's self-confidence that she reveals a very goofy sense of humor which makes these absolutely priceless. For example, this interview with David Poland which became the second most popular video in his [[http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHotButton Youtube Channel]] in just under four months, and is an absolute delight. Two instances of these are in 15:49-17:56 when Adèle describes the sex scene and at 11:30-12:21 where Léa explains the confrontation between Emma and Adèle. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGKlgZQwVAM You shit on me!]]

* BrickJoke: Emma explains Sartre's existentialism by saying that existence precedes essence earlier in the film. In the third sex scene when Emma jokingly asks Adèle on how she finds her philosophy lessons, she laughs and said that it was enriching, deep, intense, and that [[CrowningMomentOfFunny orgasm precedes essence.]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Emma:''' [[TearJerker I have infinite tenderness for you. I always will. All my life.]]]]

* MaleFrontalNudity: We do see a glimpse of Thomas' soldier.
* MaleGaze: The sex scenes suffers from this, and Julie Maroh herself complained about it, calling it "ridiculous".

* MaleGaze: The sex scenes suffered from this, and Julie Maroh herself complained about it, calling it "ridiculous".

* MaleGaze: The sex scenes are accused of suffering from this, and Julie Maroh herself complained about i, calling it "ridiculous"..

* MaleGaze: The sex scenes are accused of suffering from this, though others have pointed out that the scenes appeal to lesbians as well and even with the male gaze it's nevertheless good to see a portrayal of a healthy, passionate woman-on-woman sex scene.

''Blue Is the Warmest Color'' (''La Vie d'Adèle – Chapitres 1 & 2'', 2013) is the adaptation by Abdellatif Kechiche of the comic [[ComicBook/BlueIsTheWarmestColor of the same name]], starring Adèle Exarchopoulos as Adèle and Léa Seydoux as Emma.

* AdaptationalModesty: Averted. However, the sex scenes are absolutely necessary for the film in spite of what the naysayers may believe since the all-consuming passion provide a contrast to the powerful emotions that will transpire later in the confrontation between the two lovers.

** The film in Emma's party that serves as a backdrop is ''Film/PandorasBox'' by G. W. Pabst starring Louise Brooks. The latter's facial expressions in that scene mirrors [[spoiler: Adèle's own insecurities regarding Emma's growing closeness with Lise.]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Emma:''' [[TearJerkerBut I have infinite tenderness for you. I always will. All my life.]]]]
