Many foreign directors, including Truffaut, produce one film per year. Excluding the situation of people returning to the earth, there are only a handful of directors like Woody Allen who can insist on one movie a year until the new century.
Do the math, I've seen Woody Allen's scoop, Jade Scorpion's curse, Cassandra's dream, and a few more, but I didn't mean to look for it. Part of it was about Woody Allen's film after watching half of it, and then I read the information introduced in the film, only to find that it was really a bad old man.
And just like that, Woody Allen was quietly stationed in my movie world. And this is the case with Blue Jasmine. Didn't pay attention to the Oscar title, didn't expect Cate Blanchett's performance, just simply directed at Woody Allen. As a result, I was impressed by Blanchett's performance after watching it, but a little disappointed with the story that Woody Allen framed this time.
I think Woody Allen is always portraying the embarrassment of the capitalist middle class in his films. He put the original Gao Fushuai and Bai Fumei into trouble, and after being infiltrated into the civilian class, he behaved uncharacteristically. Blue Jasmine is telling the story of Bai Fumei who fell into Cinderella, and then fought hard to counterattack, trying to turn the salted fish over but her dream was shattered, and she became a crazy woman talking to herself.
Although this time it was Blanchett who won the crown of the best actress with his excellent performance in Blue Jasmine, but Woody Allen still contributed a lot! Apart from the quality of the actors themselves, the European style of the film, the fashionable scene setting and the humorous and metaphorical dialogues make Blue Jasmine have different connotations and characteristics from Hollywood films.
If you have a little bit of petty bourgeoisie feelings and are not satisfied with the visual gluttony of Hollywood, then look at Blue Jasmine. Even if you drink a cup of tea with a hint of bitterness, it is also a good way to relieve greasy and oily.
