Recently, I have been watching Woody Allen, "Blue Jasmine" to "Coffee Commune", classic classics, contradictions between different classes, sensual upper class, and the stories supported by acting skills are extra gorgeous.
But if you look at it carefully, isn't this a foreign version of Eileen Chang's story? The growth in "Coffee Commune", white roses and red roses, is not the follow-up of Zhenbao and Wang Jiaorui, the same Maotou boy, met a beautiful but lonely beauty who has a famous flower and can't see the future. In the end, he also had a career, a wife and a child...
Zhang Ailing said that every man will have such two women in his life. Marrying a red rose, over time, the red one becomes a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, while the white one is "the bright moonlight in front of the bed"; marrying a white rose, The white one is a rice stick on the clothes, and the red one is a cinnabar mole on the heart.
In Zhang Ailing's writing, that is the more ruthless male protagonist. The moment Jiaorui decided to leave with him, he lost his freshness after marrying a wife and began to miss the red rose. He played with women outside, and finally his wife gave him He gets revenge by being caught with a tailor on a rainy night.
In Woody Allen's movie, everyone is innocent. The hero is so cute and young, but he can't forget the red rose. In the process of his pursuit of another Vero, he only sees the utilitarianism in his eyes, but he can't feel it. emotion. So in the follow-up, his nostalgia for the red rose can be said in the past. In the last shot of the movie, in Hollywood and New York, they are very preoccupied, look up, and the shadows are stacked together, which seems so beautiful and swaying. It's just that the bloody thing hasn't been shown yet.
And "Blue Jasmine", a top wife's nothing, isn't it the beginning of every story of Eileen Chang? The glory and wealth of the past are fleeting, how many people can come out? In order to return to this upper class society, deception is only a means. Jasmine is only exposed because she met her sister's ex-husband. If she succeeds, is it Bai Liusu in "Love in a Fallen City"? A woman can only be sadly attached to others. "Deserving" and "wanting" are never the same.
It is always said that fate has secretly marked a price for everything, but it is clear that the money in each person's hands is different.
