+Danandbands I doubt you're supposed to. It is, in my opinion, a pretty nice reminder that the animosity trans people face doesn't just come from transphobes, but also from people like Rob who view the identity of another as a commodity.

[@gFS.1]

Where was that?

[@dazedplace6084]

what I love a lot about this is that the title is 'blue sushi' not 'Scarlet' or something because he didn't want the lime light he just wanted to be a man in the band 'blue sushi'...

[@wintergreen1784]

Oh my god 🫂💗💐🐢🦕❣️ truly

[@august1451]

I liked this a lot. It showed that being trans isn't a before and after jump, it's a process. Scarlett/Scott/whatever his name is didn't say "hey guys, I'm trans. Here's my new name, now I'm off to cut off all my hair, bind my chest and magically pass 100% immediately" and I really appreciated that, and also, the ending showed that you can be happy being trans BEFORE figuring everything out.

[@wermluvr]

[@anothersarah825]

Doing the same things these days... for no reason, just to enjoy the beauty of bertie's films :)

[@melissaallen1746]

See THIS is what we need more of in the traditional media. Not only does it deal with LGBT+ issues, it does it absolutely incredibly. It captures what I have not seen before. the very beginning of a transgender person's transition. With people like Caitlyn Jenner, it was a huge jump because most of her process was hidden. It also captures the even slight generational differences. Not to mention it looks incredible! It's free of stereotypes and is just very honest. I couldn't ask for more. I could go on and on, but overall I'm astounded. It looks and sounds and is amazing. Great job guys!

[@ICOEPR]

Oh wow. Just like, thank you. Such a kind comment.

[@melissaallen1746]

I love so much that just because he was transgender didn't mean he completely changed his appearance. He wasn't changing him, just letting people know that he would be more comfortable with he/him pronouns. He still was feminine and stuff and that was okay because it's what he wanted. I love this so much.

Makeup isn't just for girls, it's for anyone who likes it! Your parents should just let you be yourself

[@oliviacoe3982]

Makeup certainly isn't just for girls but if they really won't let you paint it with a clear coat of polish 💗

[@mariahsnow231]

It's really not for girls, you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable because ultimately that's all that matters, if they still won't let you do it you can do clear nail polish and mascara perhaps nude eye shadows and lipsticks, you can fill in your brows but do your makeup and nail polish however you want it!

yeah I agree it sounded just a bit phoney, especially with some of wooden acting at the start from the Scarlett character. Apart from that I thought it was a really interesting little film

[@madeleinemiller8160]

I think it was super good they just should have picked a better actor for the character Scarlotte

[@ediedavies2083]

to be fair at the beginning Scarlet was supposed to feel uncomfortable with the state she was in; the woodenness was probably intentional

[@Neuroticat.]

This made me very happy. I just happened to ironically stumble upon this, I've been recently questioning my gender and I recently found that I am androgynous. Also ironically I just dyed my hair red lol. This gave me a wide smile on my face by the end, I feel like it describes a transgender person breaking free from the conformities and finding themselves with the people that accept that and leaving the ones who refuse to accept them in the dirt where they belong. Thank you Bertie for making this film, and having it miraculously show up for me in this time of my life.

[@duumu]

Yeah but that's what he's paid for, making money and getting them promoted, he got them on TV in the US!! That's huge. He isn't a bad person, he's just not necessarily friends with the rest of the group, which just leaves him in the position of their manager, a job he seems to be pretty damn good at!

[@kpvdnber]

Exactly. If you don't want a marketing manager then don't get one.

[@duumu]

in a scene as competitive as the music industry, you gotta do whatever you can to promote yourself, not to mention that it clearly worked in their favor.

[@duumu]

thats not to say im FOR profiting off an issue, im just defending his role as a manager idk. its just a film anyway so

[@ajaxbird2348]

From a business standpoint, it makes sense. But even the best businesspeople should take into account that they are working with people with complex emotions and needs that need to be addressed.

I just finished and can I say WOW. Like an all caps wow. I've been waiting for this film all summer and I'm in love with it. The characterisation is beautiful. I fell in love with Scarlett so hard. Like dude marry me. I felt his pain and sorrow and just general feeling of being lost. Poppy rocks as an actor ta, thank you very much. I don't know much about cameras and all that lot but can I just say I love the massive focus on each character when they gave a line of dialogue. Because each line just seemed massively more important when you did that. I wish my band could have a bad ass sound like Blue Sushi. I admire the dedication in the music. It was awesome. You've made me cry as I was watching this but I cry at most of your films because I'm a big girl's blouse. Khyan was so great at playing a detached asshole that I could feel rage bubbling under my skin. I was so ready to strangle his clincally-spoken ass.

BLUE SUSHIE - a film everyone wants a sequel to

[@carolyn4717]

Personally, I believe this is one of Bertie's weaker films. The emotional impact seemed forced and some of the dialogue, especially in the second scene with Bertie and Poppy, was awkward and not very believable. I just felt like this film aspired to be something that it ultimately fell flat trying to achieve. The supporting acting was fantastic, however, and always, the film was visually stunning.
