Co-written, produced, and directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski, Blue is the first in the Three Colors trilogy, followed by White and Red.
In one scene, children dressed in white bathing suits with red floaters jump into the blue swimming pool while in another, Julie is seen accidentally entering a courtroom where the main Polish character of White is pleading his innocence.
Like the other films in the trilogy, Blue makes frequent visual allusions to its title: in addition to blue filters and blue lighting, many small, inconspicuous objects are blue.

According to legend, George Washington interpreted the elements of the flag this way: the stars were taken from the sky, the red from the British colors, and the white stripes signified the secession from the home country.
However, in 1782, the Congress of the Confederation chose these same colors for the Great Seal of the United States and listed their meaning as follows: white to mean purity and innocence, red for valor and hardiness, and blue for vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
House numbers on her street between the years 1785 and 1857 were registered using three different numbering systems, making the determination very tricky.

The Czechoslovak State Flag is a white-red field with the red colour in the bottom, which is in fact the Czech Flag and a blue threeangle, which had been added as the Slovak part of the complete flag.
The choice of blue meant that the colors of the flag were now red-white-blue, which in the nineteenth century were considered "traditional Slavic" colors and had been adopted by most pan-Slavic oriented movements (including the Czech Sokol movement) during that time.
The first Czechoslovakian flag (1918-1920) was identical to the Polish one as these are the colors of Bohemia.

 Demystifying Three Colors: Red
"Blue" may have been about the false goal of liberty "White" may have been about the false goal of equality, but if all three films are examined as a whole, the common unifying element is love.
It is the warmest of all three films, and indeed this also stems from the main theme of the colour red of the French flag-- fraternity (or friendship).
"Red" is the triumphant conclusion to Kieslowski's "Three Colours Trilogy", a point of convergence for the three sets of characters in the series.

This forward referencing is a technique that broadens the scope of White, and similarly, furthers connections in the “Three Colors” as references between the films are made with the same sporadic quality.
For example, in White ’s opening scene the action is interrupted as a woman enters the courtroom from the rear and is promptly escorted out.
Though the films employ concepts that are collectively understood as emblematic of appreciated human ambitions, the films treat these concepts arbitrarily, if not ironically.

*You'll get the best red color from red cornmeal, but if you can't find it (it's the toughest to locate), color a batch of white cornbread with annatto powder or achiote paste.
To have all three colors, you will have to make three batches, each with a different color cornmeal.
If you want your cornbread to be a little more vibrant, try adding 6 or 7 drops of red or blue food coloring.

 Review: Three Colors: Blue
Blue, the first of Krzysztof Kieslowski's "colors" trilogy( White and Red have recently been completed, marking the director's farewell to the industry, as he has announced his retirement), is a powerful motion picture - both in terms of its dramatic impact and in its method of presentation.
In addition to blue filters and blue lighting, any number of objects are blue- a foil balloon, a tinted window, awnings, a folder, the walls of a room, coats, skirts, scarves, blouses, jeans, shirts, trash bags, crystals, a lollypop and its wrapper, binders, graffiti, a pool, a van, and a pen.
Kieslowski uses light and shadow like a painter uses his pallet, and even some of the most simple images - such as a sugar cube absorbing coffee - are memorable.

 Amazon.com: DVD: Blue (Three Colors Trilogy) (1994)
And as Kieslowski does in "White" and "Red," this film is sprinkled with color and symbolism.
The first installment of the late Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's trilogy on Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, the three colors of the French flag.
Of course, the color blue appears throughout the screen at various times and in several clever ways, but the real gem of the film in keeping in true "Kubrick-esque" style is the score.

 DVDFILE.COM: Three Colors review
Ever fond of working with grand themes (his Dekalog was a series of short films based on the 10 Commandments), Kieslowski's titles for the three movies (Blue, White, and Red) are meant to stand for the three colors of the French flag, representing Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.
As great a supporter of foreign, independent, and art-house cinema as I am, and as much as I have praised (perhaps even overpraised) in the past movies that many viewers might label "pretentious," I have always found Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's famed Three Colors Trilogy to be an overrated, self-indulgent bore.
Miramax is releasing Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy either individually, at an MSRP of $19.99 each, or packaged together in a box set for the reduced price of $39.99.

 THREE COLORS: RED
The director's newest film, Red, the culmination of his Three Colors trilogy which also includes Blue and White, they insist, is overblown claptrap, substituting notions of Fate and Destiny for credible filmmaking.
The culmination of his masterful Three Colors trilogy suggests there is Something Larger than Kieslowski's characters.
The concluding scenes of Red, which may represent the conclusion of the director's career, tie the three films of the trilogy together so perfectly and unexpectedly that their themes resonate in a viewer's head for days afterward.

 Review: Three Colors: Red
Through one brief-but-important scene, this movie adds closure to both Blue and White, tying both to each other and to Red, and thereby reinforcing the commonality of ideas threaded through all three.
It is this moment, more than any other, that crystalizes everything that the Three Colors trilogy is attempting to convey about life and destiny.
With its satisfying exploration of such complex and diverse themes as destiny and platonic love, Red is not only a self-contained motion picture, but a fitting conclusion to the series.

 COLOR THEORY-SUBTRACTIVE COLOR
White light is composed of all visible wavelengths, which can be divided into three primary-color bands, red, green and blue.
The complementary colors permit subtractive control of each of the three primaries individually; like additive synthesis, this corresponds with the three-color theory of vision.
The complementary colors are the control colors of subtractive color synthesis; thus, the dyes in color filters and emulsions, and the inks (process colors) used in photomechanical reproduction are cyan, magenta, and yellow.
