Blue Christmas (ブルークリスマス, Burū Kurisimasu?), also known as Blood Type: Blue or The Blue Stigma, is a 1978 Japanese science fiction film by director Kihachi Okamoto. It deals with prejudice against UFO witnesses whose blood is turned blue by the encounter. The close encounters occur on Christmas, hence the title.
Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or christmas:
“Dear Friend,
the canebrakes
nestled in the riverbank’s lap,
their clusters broken
from the weight of blue bees,
have in time
become stumps.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
““End of tomorrow.
Don’t try to start the car or look deeper
Into the eternal wimpling of the sky: luster
On luster, transparency floated onto the topmost layer
Until the whole thing overflows like a silver
Wedding cake or Christmas tree, in a cascade of tears.””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
