The key to Woody Allen’s movie narrative is clues and lines. On the clues of the film, he played a two-line narrative in time, which is a cross-expression of the protagonist Jasmine’s rich past and desolate life today. It gives a strong contrast and reflects the fate that people's character and destiny cannot be bypassed. The character of Jasmine played by Blanchett quickly manifested soon after the beginning of the film, allowing the audience to quickly build a sketch for this character. Her background is obviously not decent and wealthy. Her special growth experience gives her some character. Inferiority complex and sensitive, and once seized an opportunity to "turn over" under such a personality, she will love vanity even more. She had this opportunity to marry a "rich businessman" and lead a life of high society, trying to learn and embody her own taste. However, she always tried to break free from the past life experience and those people and things. This is fully reflected in the relationship with my sister. The beginning of her downfall is the beginning of the film, and then intertwined with her rich and somewhat disgusting past, so that a feeling of "poor people must be hateful" is naturally manifested in the film. Jasmine is a woman who can't support herself. This "self-reliance" is not only a kind of economic independence, but also a kind of emotional self-reliance, self-reliance of thinking, and mature self-reliance. Therefore, the desolate Jasmine always gives people a somewhat naive feeling. She is always reluctant to let go of the "self-esteem" she used to live in. She is very reluctant to be an assistant to the dentist, and she is studying computer design courses with difficulty. The details fully reflect her unwillingness to today's life and the uncomfortable people around her. In the presentation of these details, Blanchett gave a very brilliant performance.
Even in real life, we often hear some talk about a certain woman, how she is "cheap", but how is she always surrounded by men, a kind of intertwined feelings of jealousy and incomprehension are always projected on this Woman body. When Jasmine started to adapt to real life with difficulty, she naturally still radiated charm to the men around her. The dentist wanted to do something to her. The friend of her younger sister’s boyfriend was quite enamoured of her. There was even a decent man with a successful career. Let her return to the decent life of the past. However, the old man is obviously more interested in irony in this film than in giving a humorous reunion. Jasmine’s essence has not changed. She still cannot live a "self-reliant" life. Even after she is down, she has to make up an object that she can rely on for dialogue. To calm her anxious mood, she always hopes to rely on a man to give her everything emotionally, and in order to have it all, in order to maintain it all, she can even deceive herself. She can’t be ignorant of the troubles of her ex-husband’s career, but she is afraid that she deceives herself and others; obviously she also subconsciously feels the love of her ex-husband, but she is afraid, she evades, and she reprimands her sister who pierced the truth; In front of her, she was afraid of losing, she lied, she concealed the truth, and finally stumbled again. Woody Allen expressed a strong sense of fatalism in this movie. You have nowhere to run, you have nowhere. Relying on, you are just a joke, this time, the old man really made it harder.
And Woody Allen’s “ruthlessness” this time is not only reflected in how miserable the heroine is, but also in passing through the two lines of the past and today, he has made an interesting contrast between the lifestyles of the two social classes. Jasmine and her sister have different destinies. They go to two classes. Woody Allen did not deliberately reflect the hypocrisy of the upper class and the kindness and freedom of the civilian class. On the contrary, his performance in this aspect is full of joy in his lens. . My sister's life is straightforward, simple, and somewhat chaotic and undirected. She is often at a loss under her sister's persuasion. In her eyes, Jasmine is well-informed and her lifestyle is noble. For a woman, there may be all kinds of hypocrisy in the upper class, which can easily make people lose self-reliance, but the men of the civilian class may also have limited financial resources, alcoholism and violent speech, and these sisters have encountered all kinds of strange people in their lives. And experience, but the younger sister is obviously easier to meet and adjust herself, she is always in a position that she is used to. As for Jasmine, her life trajectory has fallen, she is about to rise, and she falls again, and the reason is largely because of her own impulse. The whole film reveals some of Jasmine’s "self-inflicted" deeds stage by stage. You just felt that she was very pitiful, and you immediately felt how "deserving" she was. Woody Allen grasped this rhythm very interestingly, and the audience's projection of the character's feelings was very skillfully scheduled by him.
In Woody Allen's movies, the performances of the actors always give people a sense of relaxation, and they seem to be very comfortable reflecting their acting skills. Sally Hawkins is already very comfortable in playing this kind of less-minded role in the film. After all, she often plays similar roles, and her gestures are "earthly". And Blanchett’s Oscar-level performance gave me a deeper feeling that it was not outstanding, but special. The queen's downturn and hateful appearance looked really refreshing. Woody Allen’s movies are like this. Each one has the rhythm and feeling you expect, but each one has some subtle changes, so I always call Woody Allen’s almost every year. The film track of this part is called "movie series", the story of the next episode, you can predict the taste of it, but you can not predict the way it will be interpreted.
