trilogy be very interesting . some go out with a bang ( lord of the ring ) and some get progressively weak ( the matrix ) and some get lose in obscurity ( blade and back to the future ) and but some maintain the genius and that seemingly ever grow bright light that float beyond the surface of it flawless exterior . case and point represent three color trilogy . this chapter in the trilogy and be the last one and be the most philosophical and think provoke . in blue we have a more visually stunning and more character driven plot and in white it be more of a light hearted and narrative driven story where we listen more to what the character say than anything . red and however be focus on the what ifs and how come . it question our own fate and focus mainly on the past and the future than the present . this chapter be about a young model who run over a dog and bring him back to his owner . she soon find out that the owner of the dog be actually a cynical retired judge who spy on his neighbor phone call through advanced spying equipment . all three film in the trilogy have very basic plot line and but bring a lot more to the story . consider in blue and the story of a woman deal with the loss of her loved one . we be constantly show idea about the contemporary french society and how that reflect the character behavior . red be not only about a young woman who find shelter in an old man life and but it be also about chance and hope and and fate . irene jacob star a valentine dussaut and who at first find the old man ( jean louis trintignant ) and whom we never find the name of and extremely self center and disgust . though through self reflective analysis and and her voyeuristic intention and she learn that the judge would be the perfect man for her and if only he be 40 year younger . irene live across from another and young judge and who highly resemble the old man . this be the what if that keep circle in the movie . what if irene be bear 40 year ago . the old man would have be her perfect match . but what if the young judge be actually her perfect match and since he so closely resemble the old one . valentine doesn not know this and only we do and and krzysztof kieslowski subtly suggest this in almost every frame which irene be in . we be constantly smack in the face with his presence and a almost a suggestion of irene fate . i mention that the old man do not have a name for a reason . that reason be because it be very symbolic to the overall theme in the story . we be to compare the old judge to auguste ( jean pierre lorit ) and the young judge and in more than one way . we learn that the old man once have someone he love but she get away . in another scene and we see auguste heartbroken a the love of his life get away with another man . there be constant reminder of whether or not valentine will ever meet this man . even though they pass each other without notice every single day . there be also the motif of the telephone and to valentine it be a way of keep sane and update her life and to auguste it be what lead to his heartbreak and and to the old man and it be the only thing he have leave . these three element serve to shadow the character own psychology . it be a sort of statement about what they be and who they be . all three color film stand for a certain principle and most common in france . blue stand for liberty ( the personal be ) and white stand for equality ( be accept by more than one ) and and red be fraternity ( to socialize and to learn ) . and although this final chapter be an obvious focus on the fraternity principle and kieslowski make sure he bring in the other two a well and in order to connect all three story . for example and we see the old man try to reach out to valentine and enlighten her with his spy equipment and which be a reflection of the equality principle . we also see near the end that valentine be do some soul search and that she more concerned about herself than others ( not pick up the phone when michel call ) and a clear example of liberty . and with all three principle establish and kieslowski nicely connect all of the character a well and in the final and most heartfelt scene . red be about where you could have be if you be old or young . it be about whether or not there be someone completely perfect for everyone and and whether or not one person can change your life . the final chapter in the most awe inspiring trilogy ever make and this film break barrier in both directing and storytelling . it be not only about our modern life and but about where life could and should be in our modern time . and although the movie be more subtle than both blue and white and it boldly exclaim a statement of love and compassion . it hard to imagine that red be kieslowski last film and and that he die at such a young age . nevertheless and the trilogy will always be his masterpiece and we will always remember him for his work that rank right up with bergman and fellini and and wenders a a truly remarkable director who never be award with an oscar . kieslowski and you have be miss .
