The dramatic start is the foundation stone of the second film of the three colors of the Kichlvskist cinema. The desperation of a helpless lover, whose integrity depends on frustrated marriage, does not earn anything out of helplessness and frustration. A surface close to below zero, which usually does not enter any human tolerance. A dream with the guys who is a fellow countryman is a successor to success. Of course, the success cycle after immigration is high enough that this is not a success in the whole and in the real world, but it is anxious or, to some extent, to be said that the wisdom of the first person of the story, marks the steps for him. The confrontation and acceptance of the issue of murder is the turning point of the story, which is well implemented and controlled, and this is one of the characteristics of the director. The three most important parts of Despair, Success and Game complete the puzzle of the film. Part III is the storyline initiated by Carol from the start, and during the film he pursues emotional revenge from Dominic. It ends with frustration with anxiety and reaches its goal or not. Kishlovsky's films have to be seen for not believing the idealist message. Due to the simplicity of the issues, stylistic stories are being performed that illustrate the seventh art of reality in the narrative of every kind of superficial issues, and this is the greatest honor of art for both him and the cinema.

So much potential wasted, slowly.The second movie in Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy. Each movie is separate and doesn't feature characters from the previous one(s) (except at the end of Red, but it made no difference to the story and was essentially Kieslowski showing off).The first, Blue, was engaging and mostly reasonably interesting. Doesn't end very well, but getting to the end was an interesting journey.White, however, doesn't have that same level of engagement or interest. Starts off okay, develops slowly and without a sense of direction, then all of a sudden you have some fairly bizarre and implausible twists. Then it ends. Even more unsatisfactory ending than Blue.Red is marginally better. Turns out that Blue was the best of the bunch after all.

White is the purest color and seems like nothing harmful in there, peaceful. That's my first impression of this movie and I changed my thoughts.The movie can be summarized as a word:'revenge'. It was totally different with white color. The whole movie is full of plain color like black white grey, and they mean the life of Karol. However there are sharp colors such as orange and red when Dominique appears. She has strong desire of sex and love.So it is obvious that there is a contrast between Them and may be they are in different world.The most unforgettable part is the ending. Because Karol visited Dominique in the prison but they are in different emotions. Karol was crying and looking at her but Dominique smiled and did sign language. She said the Karol must wait her back and have sex with her(or marry again?). To me, They are in different stage of love. Karol did the revenge and still in love with Dominique. On the other side, Dominique was satisfied with the power she got in the relationship so she just want to enjoy that again but may be not related to her love to Karol.Overall, the color was the main feature of the movie and brought out the relationship between this couple. Krzysztof Kieślowski told us White should be pure and equal but not in love.

It gets worse, with the disclosure that he can't get it up for his wife; ouch! The poor guy loses her, his beauty salon, and is soon to be deported with little money.He performs music at a train station when he is befriended by a fellow pole, Mikolaj, who offers him cash if he will kill someone for him. Karol is then smuggled in the suitcase from the opening scene, which is stolen by airport workers in Poland. He manages to get a job working for his brother as a hairdresser. He also works as a bodyguard and reunites with Mikolaj in a tunnel, where he is asked to kill him in an assisted suicide. He persuades his intended victim to stay alive.Karol's luck changes as he and his new friend buy and sell land at a huge profit. He has gone from rags to riches. With his new found wealth, he comes up with an idea to win back Dominique and seek revenge. The final shot is quite memorable, an excellent lesson in morality. Be careful what you wish for.
