1 To despise
the subject is really not to satirize the rich. Rich man, vanity, desire, what irony is there for him. This story is about the fact that the people you despise and the choices those people make can be so bad, but they are just better off than you.
In the main corner, I can see how well my sister is living, and the good state from beginning to end has not changed. No matter whether the protagonist is like this now, or the most beautiful and comfortable days in the past, no one has a good life. Her sister was carrying fendi's shiny golden dirt on her back, and even having an affair, getting hurt after having fun, and how bloody it was, she was still better off than herself.
In the end, whether you live well or not is not a definable thing, it is just an uncontrollable feeling in the brain, which cannot be compared with each other. Maybe you once believed that you were the ideal life, so ideal that you can no longer see others, and you don’t need to compare. But the movie is to tell you that it's all fiction and lies. And the cracking of this lie is self-inflicted, which is wonderful, and the truth revealed at the end of the movie makes everything circle again. You make, you destroy. Physically speaking, it seems that it never happened, and it has nothing to do with anyone. The qualifications that should be obtained have not been obtained, but everything has changed inexplicably.

2 Desires
despise other people simply because they have a clearer mind and a broader horizon than them, "those people don't know they can still live like this." Find what kind of person will lead you into what kind of life, so she wants substantial people, into substantial life. Perhaps this will lead to a more advanced life, and with it, more desires to be dealt with. But admit it, too much desire can bring endless misery. It can only be trapped in the pleasure of satisfying desires and the unbearableness that comes one after another.
Desires are not reversible. Unbearable cannot be eliminated, and absolutely cannot be replaced by the kind of life that they despise. Some people with excessive desires have the ability to handle unbearable, but most do not. If there is none, it can only continue to be a vicious circle. It is a dark and heavy tragedy to update the circle of friends who have found all the dark circles.
His films never try to solve a problem, find an answer. He just wanted to say that the price of getting what you want is to deal with a lot of other things. You can even be unaware of it or admit it. It has nothing to do with admitting it or not. That's how it is.

3 Flashbacks
In addition to the confession and narration, the flashback is more of a parallel arrangement of this seamless connection, as if those times still belong to the protagonist's own moment. The protagonist lived in a huge lie in the past, and now he can't help but live in the old life.
In the former wealthy life, her husband's affair and the later sister's affair were both affairs, and the flashback gave a comparative clue to the matter. The difference is that the protagonist finds out about her whole life, and the man she despises foolishly forgives her sister and lives happily ever after. What to do, this is the truth.

The director thing has been very lively recently. It is impossible to know whether the incident really happened, whether the incident itself or the entanglement of the neurotic female lead in the past, it can only be explained like a footnote in the movie, he and I are both in desire and unbearable reality.

Blue Jasmine quotes

  • [last lines]

    Jasmine: [talking to herself] It's fraught with peril. They gossip, you know, they talk. I saw Danny. Yes, did I tell you? He's getting married. A weekend in Palm Beach means I can wear... what could I wear? I can wear the Dior dress I bought in Paris. Yes, my black dress. Well, Hal always used to surprise me with jewelry. Extravagant pieces. I think he used to buy them at auction. It's so obvious what you're doing. You think I don't know. French au pair.

    [Blue Moon begins playing]

    Jasmine: This was playing on the Vineyard. Blue Moon. I used to know the words. I knew the words. Now they're all a jumble.

  • Jasmine: Tip big boys, tip big because you get good service and they count on tips.
