There is a kind of life in Mu Ming called Yimu. She has a delicate personality and is forbearing, but she needs rocks that can be rooted, sufficient sunlight and nourishment of water to grow and flourish. Just like Jasmine, all her elegance and nobility are also It requires huge funds to support. She is immersed in the reminiscence of the past, not so much that she cannot accept the reality, but rather a means to maintain her arrogance. Only when she is immersed in the memory, she is the confident and beautiful self. Jasmine always talks to her husband in her memories. She may miss the beauty of the past, but she can't let go of the original life. This gap between spirit and reality made her nervous and panicked, and she had to rely on drugs to maintain her spirit and not collapse under the strong impact.
As the plot continues to deepen, the contradictions in her memories gradually uncover the scars of her life, revealing the riddled holes behind this superior middle-class life. Jasmine doesn't even remember where this tragedy started, maybe it seems to her that you don't exist without talking about it. In fact, what she showed was a childlike willfulness, a kind of dazed and puzzled feeling of superiority that had been inherited since childhood was instantly pulled away. When Hal's son Danny confronted Jasmine, she said "I'm repenting all the time", and when her sister said she was a little vain, she said it was bad enough to keep repeating herself. It wasn't that she didn't know her situation, but there was always a wave of sadness when she was forced to think about the past, as if life had punished her enough.
Charlize Theron once made a movie called "Teenage", in which she was over 40, but she still fantasized about being able to regain the beauty of her girlhood. Such people are inherent in their own thinking patterns, they are just getting old, but not growing. For Jasmine, she is accustomed to fine clothes and jade food, and is used to "always be right". She blames her sister's life for always choosing waste wood. The implication is that she makes the right choice every time. A superior life also comes from the right judgment of the mind. But now one wrong step, one wrong step, she fell into a sad abyss, she was shattered by her own decision, her spirit, her noble spirit could not bear such a blow, so she went into chaos and madness.
But in fact, I don't think this movie is about the shattering of the so-called ideal life. This sub-line of Jasmine's sister is not easy in the movie: the money with her ex-husband was cheated by her brother-in-law, the new boyfriend was scorned by her sister, and the object of her heart again turned out to be a cheating scumbag. But for her, life gets up wherever it is knocked down. Nothing can really break her down. The life she wants is everyday happiness. And the cruelest thing the movie did to Jasmine was actually the destruction of the future she wanted, hitting her hard again and again. In "Blue Jasmine", Jasmine actually wanted to make a comeback several times, but he was frustrated with learning computers and sexually harassed when he was looking for a job. He finally found a potential stock and his identity was exposed just before his success. When he wanted to get back in touch with Danny The truth was revealed in an instant, and this step-by-step encounter destroyed the possibility of her returning to an upper-class life, and also ended the possibility of a bright future she created for herself. At the end of the film, she was sitting alone on a park bench and started muttering to herself again. She remembered the familiar song, but she had forgotten the lyrics. With a dazed smile on his face. This "blue moon" echoes Jasmine's smiling vision in the opening chapter, heralding the end of a cycle of memories, and Jasmine is caught up in the rolling memories that never end.
