How do u talk about this film. the only way is 2 go against the film maker and get the cd, or if you have the movie, close your eyes and be one with life.

Derek jarman is a god 2 me, but listen 2 blue, u will fall in love with the world.

at the 1994 Oscars, i waited when they showed the people who we lost, jarman was not there. unforgivable. but then chicago is a better movie than gangs of new york.

I love the IMDb, but who has listened 2 blue ?

Í place a delphinia, blue, upon ur grave.
