Life is so real and so cruel

I'm used to seeing Hollywood happy endings, and it's a bit shocking to watch this movie. It's sad because it's too real. I remember Huang Lei once said: "Reality has been so vicissitudes", so why bother to expose the vague flesh and blood under the skin. But Wu Di showed us naked.
He chose the upper and lower classes in New York and San Francisco in the United States. The lady Jasmine, who has always been reluctant to be called Jattee by the name she used to be adopted before, insists that others call her Jasmine. His marriage broke down and he came to his sister in San Francisco with no money, but his sister Genger was often criticized by Jasmine for being with her boyfriend of similar fate. Due to the compulsion of life, Jasmine had to go to a small dental clinic as a front desk nurse. The dentist is in love with Jasmine, but she doesn't really care about this kind of middle-class decision. Because the difference between the previous life and the current life is too great. By chance, in order to meet a better man, she and her sister participated in a PARTY. In it, the sisters each met a man. Jasmine saw the man's first glance, chatted a few words, or knew the man's background and the two fell in love at first sight. And Jasmine also concealed her past failed marriage, the fact that she has children and the scandal of her past family. Describe yourself as a decent upholsterer with a dead husband and no kids. And sister Genger also felt that she had become a mistress, hanging out with her new boyfriend who looked more romantic and decent every day. Just when Gao Fushuai was about to propose to Jasmine, her ex-brother-in-law who had been deceived by her husband suddenly appeared and told all the truths she had concealed: financial fraud, her husband committed suicide, and her son worked in a second-hand musical instrument store. So Gao Fushuai questioned everything about her and left. Genger reconciled with his ex-boyfriend after learning that he had been tricked. Although he did not take her away from her own living environment, he loved Genger passionately and liked her two boys very much. And Jasmine is on the verge of collapse after experiencing the ups and downs of fate.

Blue Jasmine quotes

  • Jasmine: But that's all history boys, I met someone, I'm a new person.

  • [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.
