beautiful woman capital

I have watched several Woody Allen films in a row recently, and I really like the insight of this old man. The films satirize the relationship between men and women without exception: the fat and bloated waitress in "Ferris Wheel" fell in love with the handsome and handsome beach lifeguard, The lifeguard, however, empathized with his stepdaughter. In the end, the waitress used the hand of the underworld to get rid of the stepdaughter, but found that she still lost her love. Scarlett, a college student in "Scoop", fell in love with a British aristocrat, even ignoring the fact that he was a serial killer, and finally found out that the love was fake and the killer was real, but she still got the scoop through this relationship.

My favorite is "Blue Jasmine", it tells me how much capital a beautiful woman can - can change her life through a man. Beautiful and vain, the heroine "Jasmine", who considers herself high society, dropped out of college early and married a financial liar. Later, the liar fell in love with the young and beautiful chick, Molly reported him in a rage, and the government seized all the property. Jasmine became impoverished, but she couldn't adapt to the life of the low-level laborers. She tried her best to hook up with a diplomat. She thought she was going to return to the upper class, but because of a chance encounter, she was pierced by someone who had hurt her before.

Woody Allen has seen a lot of beautiful women in the movie circle, and also seen a lot of beautiful women who take advantage of their skins. Many people are born lucky, and God has rewarded them with a good skin, and the wise ones have used this capital to obtain various benefits. However, their own stratum is not enough, and in the end they are still dependent, just like a tree without roots, which is easy to gain and easy to lose. When you get old, there is no one around you, and you don't have much assets accumulated. After that, life becomes more and more difficult. This is a kind of reincarnation and balance.

In Woody Allen's eyes, the relationship between men and women is always hypocritical and fragile. Most of them are established by chance encounters, and they also disappear in some unexpected events. I think the real emotion should be lasting and full of a sense of mission. Unfortunately, few people can meet it. Most of the relationships in this world are full of some kind of purpose, for desire, for fertility, for money, and to meet the requirements of society. People who come together because of purpose will eventually encounter more difficulties, because the purpose is achieved. Afterwards, you will have more demands, and the human heart ultimately needs real emotions. If the purpose is not achieved, the relationship breaks down faster - when a contract is not fulfilled, often disastrous conflict ensues.

    Woody Allen’s superficial lineage actually subverts "A Streetcar Named Desire", making the characters different from the past. The biggest technique used is "empathy." Even if Jasmine is vain and arrogant, the audience still sympathizes with her situation (her husband is a liar), but at the last moment Even this "empathy" has been reversed and broken, and the tragedy is even greater than in "A Streetcar Named Desire". Blanchett is not inferior to Vivien Leigh. ps: Intercut editing is bold but meticulous, admire

    In the end Cate Blanchett sat on a street bench with her hair wet in her good clothes and heard Blue Moon try to recall the lyrics, only to find that she couldn't, every movement, every look, every corner of her mouth. Every tremor of the film made me sigh in my heart: Acting is really not something anyone can do.

  • Jasmine: Who do you have to sleep with around here to get a Stoli martini with a twist of lemon?
