Seeing positive energy in tragedy

Fred 2022-04-21 09:01:41

After watching so many Woody Allen movies, this one has the most exciting story, and the story progresses one by one, and you can't guess the truth until the end. At the same time, it's not a comedy, it's definitely a tragedy, and it's a success. But I still see some positive energy in it, such as a dialogue that appears many times in the film "the rich help the poor more, you must know how lucky the rich are". (Probably means this, didn't go back to find those clips to proofread.) Maybe this is the general value of the western propertied class, so even Woody Allen in the movie is very rude to these rich people and portrays them as quite ugly , but still reveal some of the advantages of this class.

In addition, Cate Blanchett's acting skills are really wonderful, and the neuroticism of a woman who has been severely traumatized is vividly interpreted. On the other hand, she is Woody Allen's stand-in. Woody The kind of neuroticism that is often shown in movies is portrayed in the other gender.

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.
