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.

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.
