Let go of the expectations that don't belong to you - I watched "Blue Jasmine"

when JASMINE was wearing a Chanel coat, a Chanel necklace, a Hermes Birkin bag, a Hermes belt, and approached you nervously. In an instant, he seemed to see Woody Allen's mocking eyes behind the screen. In fact, every movie is deeply branded with the director. The director is telling stories and expressing his inner self and his life perception. I deeply doubt whether our old man once fell in love with such a glamorous upper-class woman in real life, but because the process or ending was too tragic, he was extremely sarcastic and satirical in the film, and even even A slightly warmer ending is stingy with giving.

Throughout the story, there are constant interludes and memories, so when the high-spirited and radiant Jasmine and the languid and haggard Jasmine appear together, I have to feel a little sympathy in my heart. What can a woman who was once prosperous, rich and rich and rich and well-dressed, once her husband commits suicide, goes bankrupt, is forced into debt, and is impoverished, what else can she do? In addition to still being vain, selfish, neurotic, and contempt for people at the bottom, she has better maintained her elegant demeanor, good temperament, strong heart, keen sense of touch and determination to live anew.

Just like cherry blossoms, when they are scattered and meandering, it is precisely the most beautiful moment. So even if she was reluctant and felt that everything around her was not worthy of her, Jasmine still lived in Jin Ji's house. She also quickly found a job at the front desk of a dentist's office, and in her spare time, she studied computers in order to teach herself an interior designer course. There is no lack of men's pursuits around her, Jin Ji's boyfriend's friends, and the boss she works for are all overwhelmed by her beauty. It's just that she is not reconciled, it's easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it's difficult to change from luxury to frugality. She was used to living in New York, how could she be willing to be confused with people like her sister for the rest of her life. That sleazy dentist probably knew his dirty mind when she saw him for the first time. How could such a man be someone she relies on?

It's just that the blow of loss is too great, and the pressure of re-learning is too great for a woman who has entered middle age. I believe that all women who can experience this sense of helplessness and loss can understand the importance of grasping something that can warm themselves in that situation. This kind of thing is sometimes jewelry, sometimes flowers, sometimes friends, and Jasmine in the film chose to seize the diamond king and the lie that came out of her mouth.

Everyone has their own way of living. What you see is only the side that others show. We have no intention and should not spy on the secrets deep in other people's hearts. But in fact everyone has a desire to know the story behind someone else, and to some extent gloat at someone else's secret and try to debunk it. So, when Jin Ji's ex-husband deliberately said that paragraph at the door of the jewelry store, he must have done it on purpose. As a result, the beautiful vision was disillusioned, the lies were ruthlessly exposed, and Jasmine felt a kind of feeling called gain and loss. She was hysterical in the car, yelling, and speaking indiscriminately. All the elegance she once had was gone. It can be seen that Wendi Deng is not what everyone wants to be.

It's just that the final truth comes unexpectedly. When Daniel asked Jasmine at first, "Have you never doubted it, or didn't care at all?", I still stubbornly thought that Jasmine was just a money-worshiping woman who was foolish enough to enjoy a luxurious life. But I forgot that people are lazy and rely on this kind of thing. Once you get used to it, it is difficult to change. I would rather learn to open one eye and close the other, just to not break the existing balance. In fact, Jasmine knew what her husband was doing from beginning to end, but she chose to hide and keep silent. In the face of her husband's derailment, she never thought about divorce, but only tried to persuade her husband to restrain herself by arguing. And when she finally found out about her husband and insisted on leaving her for another woman, her inner rage prompted her to make that call. If it wasn't for that phone call, she might still be living a lavish life, looking at Jin Ji and her friends mockingly.

Life is a gorgeous robe, only covered with lice. In fact, which of the characters in this film is not hypocritical? Busy, deliberately chasing, maybe in the end it's still empty. The sensitive Jasmine lives a life of ups and downs, trying to get out of the embarrassment but finally sits down on the street and muttering to herself; the carefree Jin Ji tries to change her life, but after being deceived, she can return to her boyfriend's arms as if nothing happened; the superior diplomatic man just needs rather than loves one An elegant woman, she abandoned Jasmine the moment she learned the truth without looking back.

Zhang Yusheng sang in the song: "I am very patient and don't chase fate. I never envy the prosperity in front of me, because the most beautiful is not far away." Therefore, how can life be missed repeatedly like a movie, instead of trying to change it in vain To change, it is better to adapt and live a practical life. What we need to do, perhaps, is only to be calm and indifferent, to strive for certainty, and to let nature take its course. And more importantly, let go of expectations that didn't belong to you.

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.
