Blue Story

So we get it you don't like a movie coz it made the headlines....but did you even watch the movie.

Hear me; for those who haven't heard/don't know a bunch of kids in a city of Birmingham in the UK brought some knives and had a huge gang fight and one of the Major Cinema chain knee jerked reaction was to pull the movie nationwide.

Now came the reactions, TV, radio, print media everyone was talking about it and mostly white middle class people who had no understanding what black (London primarily) urban kids have to go through in their lives. Instead of understanding the core of the story and what it was addressing they point out " how loud the movies goers were" or "how London black kids's music this and that".

The reality is knife crime is high in the UK, Gun crime in America NOT JUST black people kill each-other ALL RACES DO! Just coz you don't get what challenges a certain ethic group goes through don't give you the right to be critical and prejudicial or dare I say it ...., which sadly it's undertone has muddled the message the makers of this movie were trying to get across.

So watch THEN JUDGE OR DON'T either way.....

It's sad 2019 and it's like when Boyz in the hood came out last century....SAD!!

A bit dull to be honest, I am not the target audience for this film and I felt it, the whole thing seemed to be in a different language to me, all slang, and if this is any representation of today's youth then we are in real trouble as a society

This film was alright at best. I try to overlook the budget which made the writing and acting quite poor. The film portrays a quite powerful story but it just didn't really execute it so well into cinematography. It was pretty interesting to see nonetheless and I wouldn't call this film terrible or something.

This film is aimed at a demographic that really isnt well represented at the Cinema and even on main stream TV. The teen to 25 range who over most generations feel isolated from the people older and younger are well represented here.

This is a novel and clever film which mixes a very good plot, good acting with a unique idea of adding grime songs within the scenes to explain the story.

The film is raw and shocking but I think still probably shy's away from the real brutal truth of life on the streets in modern inner City London but for good reason as it doesn't set out to be totally shocking, it just wants to tell a story.

At the core is a good film with a good story and made a different way, for even just that it is worth a watch.

I can't believe more people have rated this film a 1 than a 10. Reading some of the recent reviews I actually felt like I've watched a different film to the one people are describing (btw I haven't). The film was incredible and deserves way more credit than people on here are giving it. It's the best film I've seen in a long time and I have watched A LOT of films recently. The film is accessible, whilst it focuses on gang violence it essentially focuses on a friendship and the relationship between one of those friends and his girlfriend. I found the film very moving. Rapman is unbelievably talented. The acting was amazing, the entire film was engaging from the very start to the very end. I will be telling everyone to watch this movie.
