Blue Bayou || The power of borders can even tear a family apart!

Inspired by true events, Blue Bayou offers the maximum viewing pleasure that I think a film in the drama genre is capable of.

Even though I realized that there were some stones in the story that I had a hard time fitting into place, I appreciate the presentation and the importance of the story in terms of "keeping a family together".

At the age of 3, he entered the country and after living there for 30 years, he was treated as an "illegal immigrant" and deported, which makes the story strange. Moreover, the fact that he got married and became a father-to-be during this period makes the strangeness more apparent.

In most drama films, it is possible to see an audience ready to shed tears, but Blue Bayou, until a certain point (the last scene), is more about romantic love and the struggle to maintain the continuity of the family in the same place. Obviously, this makes the movie a different kind of drama.

Of course, I am leaving out the last scene because it is not possible to hold back the tears there. This means that it is the heaviest drama scene of the movie.

There is a questioning attitude in determining the borders of the countries that exist today and in the implementation of deportation decisions. After more than 30 years of living in a country, it is expected that the last decision for a father who is married and expecting a baby should be deportation. The fact that this was the first and final decision was the most surprising moment in the movie.

It was nice to watch the character of Antonio Leblanc (played by Justin Chon), who shows the value of being a family and all the effort of trying to keep the family alive, as the voice of thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people in similar situations...

... but what I really liked was Kathy Leblanc (played by Alicia Vikander) as Antonio's wife. She was a role model with her tireless struggle and her boundless love. I think every man would like to have a woman like that in his life.

The important storyline of the movie that came and went and surprised me was Kathy's marriage to a cop and then to a criminal. I kept my mind busy with questions such as why someone who stood so firmly behind a criminal character did not stand behind a cop character, or if she did, how and why she gave up early.

Blue Bayou is one of the good movies to watch when you want to stay away from mental fatigue and be a guest to real life stories. After watching the movie, I started to question the borders of countries more and more. A world where all borders disappear may be too much of a dream for today, but who knows; maybe it is a dream that can be realized in decades or centuries to come.
