Meditations and Learnings

Blue Story



Rapman has achieved something special, this has had me thinking pointedly since leaving the cinema, and experiencing emotions since the opening credits. Most of these emotions encircled a nihilistic sense that these gang feuds would inevitably perpetuate without end. At no moment could I bring myself to confidently direct my frustrations at a single character. Each person was a product of their unchosen nature interacting with their unchosen environment. The cyclical nature would involve a number of individuals enlisted reluctantly or at the level of game playing into their postcode crew. After a tragic indecent this would then ultimately transition into a deep investment. With each member acquiring a real sense of skin in the game the violence would mount to a crescendo and then, after many killings and incarcerations, resume a steady state of pointless conflict until the next massacre.
