What kind of person, what kind of thing happens

Woody Allen is still a director who is quite good at telling stories. He shoots at a leisurely pace. Even if it may not be all wonderful, it is an indispensable dish for me every year.

In the first 2 minutes, you will feel that you have met an ordinary lady, whose appearance is naturally decent and elegant. She is flying in first class, carrying Hermes, chatting about her successful love history with her rich husband, and even her luggage is Louis Vuitton. , until the old lady woke up the dreamer with a word: This person was talking to himself all the way, and the ironic story was revealed.

Jasmine never stopped talking to herself, even on the way to buy a ring with her fiancé, she was still talking about her ex-husband's tin wine glass. Those lives were once owned by her, her extravagant and noble life, she could never believe that she had been thrown out of that life far away, and even the person who caused this situation was not just her liar Ex-husband, or herself.

At the beginning of the film, sister Jin Jie discussed with her ex-husband whether Jasmine knew about the scam. The innocent younger sister thought that Jasmine was absolutely ignorant. Jasmine also said to her friends: I never cared about his business. But of course she knew. After all, when Hal was about to divorce her, she resolutely reported him to the FBI, which was equivalent to giving her dear Hal a sling.

So this story can be interpreted from N good angles, such as: men can cheat, but don't try to divorce their original spouse; when a woman loses your love, she will turn you into a tragic boy; upper class society It's hard to find true love through intrigue, and the people at the bottom are sincere and simple and finally get happiness... If that's the case, Allen doesn't deserve my love.

In fact, in this movie, Allen didn't let anyone go. He wasn't talking about love affairs or class inequality, just human nature.

For example, let's take a look at the most "simple" Jin Jie. Jin Jie often talks about her sister's genes. Although they are both adopted, their genes are different. It means that I am now a supermarket cashier. fault, such as she and Jasmine come from the same adoptive family.

Of course, Jin Jie is also loyal to his sister. He has done his best to stand up at the critical moment. But it's not necessarily how pure Jin Jie is. She is looking for a more "elegant gentleman" - of course, that gentleman deceived her. At the same party, the elder sister hooked up with a tall, rich and handsome diplomat, and the younger sister found that An ugly and old recording engineer (no intention of discriminating against the recording engineer here), and she doesn't even understand whether the other person is married or not, she can only be blamed for her stupidity.

Let's talk about the sister's ex-husband, the victim Auggie - he once had a chance to make a fortune, at least he thinks so, after all, he won $200,000 in the lottery! It was enough for them to live comfortably, but he resolutely voted for his brother-in-law's business, and he didn't even know what happened to the business - "Although I don't know how to do business, I want you to help me make a lot of money. ." This way of thinking of this kind of person is bound to be defrauded of money by others.

In fact, what Jasmine said about her sister was true. "You chose a loser because you felt like you were the only one who deserved it. That's why you've been busy all your life and didn't get a better life." How did you answer: "It's you who ruined my chances of making a lot of money because you married the worst liar ever!"

Who is the liar? Sometimes I can't tell the difference clearly. Of course, Hal is a liar, and Jasmine is also good at cheating her fiancé, but is Jin Jie also a liar? At least she cheated on Geely. Of course, she was also caught by the recording engineer. cheat. Jasmine's fiance, Dwight, is also a liar. Obviously, he chose Jasmine for a glamorous identity, not out of "love the person himself", but he kept saying that he loved her. And Auggie, who appeared as a victim at the last moment, was defrauded of all his money and divorced by Hal. He believed that the culprit was Molly, and he left a very profound line: Some things are not so easy to pass... But Does Auggie dare to admit that one of the reasons he was deceived was because he was stupid? ——Haha, those who deceive others are considered liars, but what about those who deceive themselves? Is it a liar?

In my opinion, Jasmine is a rare person who is self-disciplined, enterprising, tasteful, knowledgeable, and, of course, has the means—her fatal weakness may be that she has a little mental problem: she destroys her own high class under impulse. life, but maybe she doesn't have to lie to herself, because she does have a good time that she can miss for a lifetime, before she finds out that her husband cheated.

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.
