Watch Blue Sky For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

American film "Blue Sky" is about a crazy family's bittersweet adventures. This family is made up of disparate characters namely an army major who is absolutely dedicated to his job, his fashion conscious albeit flirtatious wife and two not so innocent but young daughters. The entire family is having emotional issues as circumstances force it to constantly move from one army base to another due to the top secret mission handled by the army man. What makes this film interesting is its focus on the tough life in American army. This Tony Richardson film is set in 1960s, a difficult period of American army when top secret nuclear testing was carried out by its army men. The sub plot involving nuclear tests brings forward a lot of emotional issues related to behavior of army men. It is with interest one watches how an honest army major is framed and put to a mental asylum while his wife is seduced by his boss. However, everything becomes alright when this crazy family uses all its intellectual might to defeat the enemy. Tommy Lee Jones displays his natural acting talent in his role as the army major. In the film, there is brief mention of some leading actresses such as Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. However,actress Jessica Lange appears to have beaten them all with her important role which combines madness with responsibility to portray a fallen woman who is able to regain lost family honor.

Jessica Lang plays a crazy wife to an Army Officer (Tommy Lee Jones) with 2 daughters who is upset because they have been relocated to a Southern base for his latest assignment. Lang plays the role well and she is the highlight. Tommy Lee Jones is OK here but his best part of the film is early on.When they first get on the new base, Lang has a fit and Jones tries to shield the daughters from their mother. After this high point, his role starts to decline as Lang takes over the movie. The relationship between Lang and the daughters is strained at best, insane at it's worst.Meanwhile, Jones is sent away on the Blue Skies assignment. First her daughter and the son of the base commander raise a riot by accidentally detonating a Grenade by an abandoned hut. Then, they catch the base commander having relations with Lang there. The older daughter forces mom to call Jones and confess. The Base commander then sets up Jones by putting him (with Lang's permission) into the base hospital on drugs and helpless.Lang opens up her husband's Blue Sky notes and comes up with a plan to try and get her husband free. What is in his notes is the key to her plan. She is not as crazy as you might think. There are a couple of holes here, especially because since the kids catch Lang & the base commander, it is hard to understand why just taking dad out of action is going to protect their secret. The son's reaction, must less the daughter's to this seems wrong.While the plot is a little off, it is a pretty decent film to watch.

In its only nomination in the Oscar sweepstakes for 1994 Jessica Lange won for Best Actress in Blue Sky. After watching Blue Sky I can certainly see why.Blue Sky is set in the years of the Kennedy Administration and it's plot concerns a dedicated Army Major, Tommy Lee Jones and his family consisting of wife Jessica Lange and daughters Amy Locane and Anna Klump. Jones is more than an army officer, he's a nuclear scientist and deeply concerned about the collateral effects of radiation on the population. I well remember the time. President Eisenhower in his second term of office made an unilateral executive decision to stop above ground nuclear testing, but the Russians continued. I well remember Premier Khrushchev in a bit of saber rattling, exploded a one hundred megaton hydrogen bomb.Anyway President Kennedy decided at one point to resume nuclear testing to get the Russians back to the bargaining table for a nuclear test ban treaty. That's the background for this story and we all know that the first thaw in the Cold War was that test ban treaty that was ratified during the summer of 1963.Anyway Jones is looking to ban it all, writing all kinds of reports that the army isn't taking too seriously and in fact transfers him from California to Alabama where he's told in no uncertain terms by his commander Powers Boothe to cool it. The military wasn't exactly thrilled with what Kennedy was trying to do.But Jones has some pressing concerns on the domestic front. Jessica Lange is a lusty woman with needs and her husband isn't doing right by her. She looks like Marilyn Monroe and really does have all the army polishing its brass for her. Including Powers Boothe who sends Jones away so they can play.It all ends in disaster, but Jessica summons up a lot more character than we would have first given her credit for to right the situation. It's in those last scenes that Jessica Lange brought home Oscar.Young Chris O'Donnell is in the cast as well as Carrie Snodgrass as the son and wife of Boothe and O'Donnell the young man about to go to West Point finds out just what kind of rat his father really is. And Boothe does very well as the rat.But in the last twenty minutes of the film Jessica's change in character dominates the film and it's reason enough to check out Blue Sky

The film is about the relationship of husband and wife, their troubles and how they cope with it. It also had a side plot about underground nuclear testing, which I don't think was that powerful or had that much of an impact for it to carry though as the finale, which also seem to be wrapped up uneventfully.But the main story is their troubled relationship, and how through good, bad and worse they get through it with each other's support. Jessica Lange's performance as an unstable woman was amazing, not over the top in which it would have been typically done, but was portrayed truely and its fine nuance conveyed the subtle change in her mental state.
