Blue Valentine

DramaRomance

    How do you trust your feelings when they can just disappear like that? -i think the only way you can find out is ... (just) to have the feeling. Movie : Blue Valentine (2010) Director : Derek Cianfrance ...found another miracle 🌬️ 🪶 🍃

    I always bring up the movie Blue Valentine. It rec’d a NC-17 rating, not for the nonconsensual “finishing” or the coercive sex scene but for the cunni scene she actually enjoys & has an O from. Consensual sexual pleasure onscreen is considered pornographic 😒🥴

    #ALL50RTS Day 46/50 I Live With You, by Grizzly Bear (2009). Big big feels from the film Blue Valentine. Sadly I didn't get heavily into this band of musical geniuses until around the time they broke up. Now they're doing some US shows this year - I'd be there in a flash if I could!

    It was pitched as a fun rom-com (which it isn’t really) and the trailer said from the director of Blue Valentine and Beyond the Pines who are they marketing too?? It cost $19 million and made $35 which makes sense for this movie. Let’s not make it seem like this movie is the end of Hollywood.

    I don't think any movie captures falling in love and falling painfully out of love better than Blue Valentine (2010). Definitely in my top 10. Raw emotion exhibited is next level. I don't think any other movie captures it better.

    I JUST FOUND THIS OUT but in the movie Blue Valentine, there’s a scene where Ryan’s character goes down on his wife, and because of that, the movie was rated R, and Ryan did not agree with that because “men get oral in movies and they don’t get R ratings, it feels like a double standards”

    Not a movie per se, but my now-husband and I went on a string of dates to movies that were about A Marriage On The Rocks (I think one of them was Blue Valentine?). They were mostly good films, but their outlook on a newish relationship's future got pretty depressing after a while.

    Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen NMIXX -- Blue Valentine. I really like the way the changes in tempo make this a cute song with a twist. Although I usually pay little attention to Kpop lyrics some clever touches in the lyrics caught my attention here: for example, the succession of "I'm falling over and over and over" by "You're getting colder and colder and colder" with a…

    Roofman (2025) is quite good, the story is apparently almost entirely true, Channing Tatum doing solid work as a lead backed by an incredibly stacked cast. Only at the end did I realize its a Derek Cianfrance film (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond The Pines).

    Oh, Blue Valentine. Without question. Brilliant film in every single aspect of the production, but omg did it hit home way too hard. If you havent seen it, watch it. Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling at their absolute best. So good it almost hits levels of uncomfortable to watch. But watch it.
