Woody Allen returned to the United States
After traveling around Europe, Woody Allen returned to New York, which he is most familiar with, to start shooting his own film. In this film called "Blue Jasmine", he turned his attention to one of the hot topics of the moment - the economic crisis. In this film, he made up a story about family conflicts and emotional entanglements caused by the economic crisis. The economic crisis is just an introduction in the film. The most critical thing Woody Allen shows is the "crisis" in people's hearts. And this kind of crisis, under the display and manipulation of Woody Allen, has become the most critical emotional eruption point in the film.
Cate Blanchett, who plays the lead role in the film, said: "My character is a woman who has lost everything, her house, her love and her job. All she can do is leave what she knows. In another place, she moved to another place to live. In a foreign land, she fell in love with a man who was also at the turning point of losing everything. I think this is not just a love story, but a sociological A story of meaning. A person, who has lost everything, has to find his own belonging in a foreign land in the end. This is a very interesting thing." In fact, it is not uncommon for such a plot to lose everything and start all over again, Shakespeare wrote , Tolstoy also wrote. Alec Baldwin said: "We see this film as another sociological study of Woody Allen. His previous films have always focused on New York intellectuals. This time, he took the initiative to Focus on the businessmen and wealthy people in New York. This should be a very interesting thing. However, it is more interesting to see how Woody Allen observes and describes these people."
Cate Blanche Special's New Challenge
Female characters have long been some of the most coveted in Woody Allen's films. Compared with the relatively fixed male characters in his films, his female characters are obviously more colorful. From "Annie Hall" to "Midnight in Barcelona" and "Love in Rome". Obviously, this role, for Cate Blanchett, is also very challenging. In order to play this role well, Cate Blanchett also spent a lot of time. She said: "I went to watch a lot of people, they were losing everything and trying to find their lives again. The characters in the film are always drinking and not in good shape, so I also tried to drink a lot to find the film. The feeling of the characters. I went to study the Madoff scandal, because after that scandal, a lot of people went from very rich to very poor. I went to try to understand the psychology of those characters and what they were looking for. Actually, As an actress, you need to go back to the beginning of the character to sort out the relationship, and only then can I really understand the character. Allen's female characters are always so inescapable , they have flaws, but they're always real."
Of Allen and Blanchett, Alec Baldwin said: "Allen was the greatest writer, one of the most talented and courageous people I've ever seen in the film industry. So when he found me, I was so excited and flattered when I was cast in this movie. The one who plays my lover in the movie is Blanchett, an actress of great talent and artistic audacity. Her character is relatively It was difficult, but she stepped into the role in a very traditional way of experiencing life. I often felt the hairs stand up all over my body when I acted opposite her. You know, I haven't encountered such a tricky one in a long time. Opponents play."
