This must not be Woody Allen’s best movie. There is no fantastic story. There is no star who rushes out of the screen to become alive. There is no chatter Woody personally enters. There is no Talk to the camera. There is no bickering to finish Woody’s Diane Keaton. , There is no big beauty Scarlet Johansson, no fascinating European literature and art that permeated the tune of the American landlord in the past few years, and no great writer who travels through time and space. Supporting movies. Even if the blonde queen was in ruin, she still carried her Birkin, wearing a Chanel jacket and using a Fendi wallet to sit in the first-class cabin and asked people to carry Louis Vuitton's luggage. She does look like a million bucks, and she looks good! I somehow think of Tang Wei's appearance in the domestic movie "Beijing Meets Seattle" which was very popular a year ago. The goddess of good temperament was forced out. Taobao fan, it is estimated that the mistresses and mistresses will go home after reading it, they must be very happy that their looks and temperament are better than Tang Wei, lol. Going off the topic, I went on to talk about Queen Cate’s interpretation, from the endless chatter at the beginning, to the trembling of eating calmly, talking to herself, to the disgusting nausea of seeing a mouse like a mouse to the lower society, to the feeling of being rich and handsome. After returning to the "Throne", he was comfortable, elegant and high-profile, and refused to welcome, and then realized his hypocrisy and weakness and still dreamed of living in the old world and silently sobbing. It would be unreasonable if the film school didn't give a golden man! Suddenly I realized that the glamorous and noble queen was not just about her appearance and aura, but a real act in her bones!
Watching Woody's movies, you have to talk about the scenes in the movie. The old saying, tuberculosis, is of course unambiguous about his housekeeping skills. The heat is not fat, not thin, not dry, not greasy, and it melts in the mouth. This time the target is the affluent class in the United States (especially New York). In the words of Professor J. Hacker of the Department of Political Philosophy, "The stinky rich", lol. Cate Queen told her sister her luggage is called "Lueee Vuitton", Queen Cate After saying that I was from New York, I naturally added "Park Avenue, actually", and the audience burst into laughter again! In fact, housing prices in many places in Brooklyn are already close to Manhattan, but since it's a veteran New Yorker movie, of course you have to take a bit of Brooklyn. Woody Allen’s “high-class” style was taken out as a joke. The clumsy work when the queen lost everything and was bullied by dogs was a burst of laughter. The queen had a small deer in her heart, but deliberately waited for the phone to ring a few times. After answering the call, she deliberately asked Gao Fushuai to wait for ten seconds, but in fact she covered the microphone and took a few breaths to restore her composure, and she laughed again. A joke that is not vulgar and boring but not obscure, and the middle-class public can accept the humor of a joke, is it a sign of the little old man. Woody Allen is well versed in the superiority of the middle class over the lower class and the secret yearning for the upper-class society, so scheming is very stunned. Speaking of this, I remembered that when I watched the Daily Show, Conan said something very profound: "In fact, every time I laughed, I was just watching a show, but you know some people really do that." Hit the nail on the head again. But that's it! I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run. The tone of "Park Avenue, Actually." really exists.
Wandering around, if you always talk about the theme of the movie, just like writing an essay to summarize the central idea after a spring outing, sports meeting, or visiting a science and technology museum when you were young, you can’t escape. But instead of saying that Blue Jasmine criticizes the material and hypocrisy of the affluent, I think the film is actually a broader satire of selfishness and hypocrisy. Jasmine's younger sister, the fat uncle she met after her sister went to the party kicked her grumpy Latino boyfriend, and instantly became one with her conflicting sister. After discovering that the fat man was married, he reunited with his Latino boyfriend and said nothing about his derailment, and they both pointed the finger at Jasmine, who was "pretending to be". What is the essential difference between such "hypocrisy" and Jasmine? Just because they are not an interest class and do not have such arrogant and pretentious styles? In contrast, I think Jasmine is inherently more frank. In order not to let Gao Fushuai know the truth of his downfall, Jasmine deliberately told Gao Fushuai not to go to her sister's house to answer it on the phone. When she hung up the phone, she instantly understood her hypocrisy and broke into tears. For the "true villains" who know they are hypocritical but have to do it in order to achieve their goals; and the "hypocrites" who stand on a moral high point and have no self-reflection, but should lie to the unequivocal "hypocrites" (and this "hypocrites" "I don't even know what I'm doing sincerely), I think "hypocrite" is far less cute than "real villain".
The topic of "hypocrite" and "true villain" has gone a bit farther. Going back to the sisters of the movie Jasmine and Ginger, in fact, I thought more about the contrast between "sensitive" and "insensitive", and the contrast between "with story" and "no story". Most people are destined to pass by day by day, without so many stories. They are content with the status quo. There is really nothing wrong with ordinary people's life, it should be a life of peace and quiet; after all, the ups and downs of sensitive Jasmine's life is not affordable for everyone. But we are not walking corpses after all. One night when we suddenly woke up, we found that our heart had been callused by the daily trivialities. The story of the whole life can be written on a piece of paper. Will it also be lost? ?
ps After watching the movie, I ordered a cup of Blue Moon
pss Woody Allen must have borrowed a lot from "A Streetcar Named Desire"
