 A Story of Two Friends

Blue Story is a tragic tale of two friends—Timmy and Marco, who have been ripped apart as they get involved in a gang riff. The two boys go to the same high school where they become best of friends, but live in two different boroughs of Downtown London that have been tormented by severe gang violence. Timmy’s life changes as he falls in love with a girl named Leah. But unlike him, Marco’s fate destined him to go in a different direction. He was pulled deeper into the violent gang allegiance, mostly influenced by his older brother, and eventually the two best friends are torn apart and pitted against each other due to the gang rivalry.

As Marco is beat up by one of Timmy’s primary school friends, Killy, he and Timmy are caught up between two rival gangs and are thrown into a never-ending series of violent gang wars. The story moves forward with the depiction of the gore reality of the underprivileged neighbourhoods of London, tormented by violence, vengeance, and discrimination. What happens to Marco and Timmy? What becomes of their friendship? Do Timmy and Leah end up together? To know how the story turns out, get your Blue Story drive in tickets at the earliest!

A Reality Check

The movie is believed to be inspired by the events and the experiences of Rapman’s life. The film has received wide appreciation worldwide, including being nominated in the category of outstanding debut by a British writer in the British Academy of Films and Television Arts in the year it was released. The two lead artists, Stephen Odubola and Michael Ward have done a fantastic job in their roles as Timmy and Marco respectively. Your Blue Story drive in tickets will not only give you a chance to experience this highly praised film but also gives you a sneak peek into the lives of London ghettos.

For those who think gang violence is just limited to films and television series, it serves as a reminder. You will shudder at the violence ingrained in the lives of the people that live in such neighbourhoods. What keeps the story more pulsing is a true depiction of their livelihoods, their struggle, and their aspirations. On top of it all, the electrifying rap music that is used to ramp up the narrative makes it even more intense.
