Although not explicitly stated, the three films in this trilogy address the three elements of the French motto "freedom, equality, brotherhood", in that order. The story of Blue explores the theme of freedom by examining what Julie does when "freed" from the bonds of marriage and motherhood. She shows respect for the freedom of others by refusing to support the eviction of the prostitute in her building. It is hinted that she may be the real composer of her husband's music, suggesting that she used him as a front to preserve her own freedom from public attention. However, while she initially pursues freedom by rejecting all ties and emotional bonds to others, she ultimately decides to open her heart to loving someone again (Olivier), and in the final scene, finally feels free to weep for the first time.
