Through the film “Blue”, this article interprets from the psychoanalytic aspect that the early loss in Julie’s childhood experience caused defects in her personality structure and formed an inner depressive child in Julie. When she met with traumatic loss in her adult life, Julie, who had personality vulnerability, suffered from depression, and the inner depressive child was activated. Through mourning— to confront and experience all the complicated feelings including distress, sadness, anger, sense of being abandoned and so forth— she began to work through depression caused by the loss in adulthood, and the inner child in her was also seen and cared for. Julie was able to give up her fantasized idealized object, creatively repositioned the lost important object and her relationship with the important object, rebuilt love relationship in real life, and received renewal and growth of life.
