"Someone substantial"

I am accustomed to trying to figure out the logic of all narrative creations, because if it is not in accordance with the daily logic, it is artistic creation and drama. It can be regarded as a way to use the most superficial method of narratology to guess whether the work has reached the standard worth seeing. One of the dramatic points in this film seems a bit far-fetched, that is, after the heroine collapsed the first Wang Lao Wu, there is actually a more spiritual one to come to the door. As a former noble woman who is almost useless and a poor woman, she actually had so many opportunities to stand up. The second man she hooked up with was not only rich, but also political, and his education was even higher. This is simply too small a probability event.

Later, I didn't think about it. Perhaps it was her luck for the first time to be with the banker. But afterwards, pampering and mingling in the upper class, the nobleness will naturally be cultivated. Even if the temperament and demeanor are not piled up by money, that gesture and mouth-to-mouth tune are a kind of class nameplate. In terms of hardware, with money and good maintenance, the lady's appearance and figure are naturally not bad. Money is not full of ignorant minds, but it allows you to travel around the world and cross the street, allowing you to interact with high-end people from all walks of life and become a person who has "seen the world". Finally, coupled with the natural beauty and the top fashion that she left behind, all these are the "identity card" of the heroine and the "proof" that she belongs to a special class group. Although it has expired in this story, it may be counted as a forgery.

Of course, it’s not that the second male gold medalist was looking for this kind of woman, but her every move, every frown, and smile are all experienced in this circle. Her dress, every stitch, and every thread are in line with this circle. Definition of taste. She made this man feel that this is a "person", she fits the "ideal type" in the hearts of men who grew up in this circle, not the kind of Dew Joy, but the ideal type of going into the house. So it’s not surprising that the heroine can find a second rich man and get up again. Oh, by the way, people don't say "the rich", they say "someone substantial". This is also an adjective carefully used by the creators. On the one hand, it is a more elegant word, from the Latin substantia; on the other hand, it has two meanings of "important" and "material" from the root, and there is another word in the etymology. The meaning of "essence" and "essence" can be regarded as a double metaphor for money worship and elitism.

And the one caught by the hostess's sister at the same party is several levels worse, which is naturally the reason for the attraction of the same kind. It's not that people only like to be like themselves, but in occasions like parties, chatting and joking, people who are always at the same level are less likely to make each other embarrassed, embarrassed, or bored, so they just talk about it. If the real flat girls climbed to the prince, if they were not deliberately and carefully designed, it would be a surprising coincidence. The only people who can fall in love with the gold master by climbing the ladder are those who match the real or false identity of the gold master.

After watching the way home, I told the girl who accompanied me to the theater that you should also save money to buy some high-end clothes, and go fishing for a rich man. From now on, you will both buy books and movie tickets. The man was cushioned. The girl said she would never go out to the movies with you, a die-hard guy. Later, I said, our motive for letting you go to sugar daddy is not right, it is too weak, and it must be impossible for ghosts to catch it. The two laughed.

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.
