I really hear the term "Bai Fumei" too much. Sometimes I will question myself when I put forward this concept. Do I really understand, whether there is any misunderstanding, or whether there is a misjudgment.
"White, rich and beautiful" is really as simple as "white, rich and beautiful"?
Of course, there is Bai Fumi around me, and I have always faintly felt that there is a subtle or obvious difference between Bai Fumi and Princess Disease, but I just failed to grasp that point intuitively and find the gap.
After watching "Blue Jasmine", the first story I remembered was the princess and the pea. In the ridiculous story, the real princess was able to detect the existence of the pea through a few layers of mattresses.
Maybe you think it's nothing to do, it's a fake, it's hypocritical, who can perceive any special settings under such a thick mattress?
But for a real princess, it is not "special" but "unusual".
To make an analogy, it’s like a certain dish you usually eat, you never put a certain flavorful but small amount of seasoning to cook, but one day you eat a taste that makes you feel "something wrong", and then you will Ask what's in it?
People with insensitive taste will naturally think that it is "almost", and what Princess Pea tells us is that "almost" is actually "a lot worse." But as far as our lives are concerned, taste is a very subtle sensation. Various edible things such as desserts, dishes, wines, etc. will be affected by the soil, climate, moisture, cultivation mode, cooking method, temperature, and time. When various variables change, various foods of different quality will be produced, and in addition, various situations of different prices will be produced.
In the above situation, for people with insensitive taste, the significant difference is that it is unpalatable and delicious, cheap and expensive; for people with sensitive taste, it is possible to distinguish generally delicious, relatively delicious, and particularly good from good taste. Eat, and how it is delicious and what's so good about it.
The example ends.
In my opinion, "Blue Jasmine" is about a story about Bai Fumi (there is also a difference between a princess and Bai Fumi) becoming downcast and having to sink in the world of dicks and straight men (not to judge this as a tragedy) It’s still a comedy), Woody Allen’s "Magic in the Moonlight" made me almost lose my temper on the plane. It was also because of the movie that was so bad that it made me lose my temper. It took me a long time to really put "Blue Jasmine" "I received it and showed it.
Many bullet screens are directed at Woody Allen or Cate Blanchett, but I actually finally watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" recently and was fascinated by the beauty of the "queen", and finally made up my mind to watch the movie. Probably because this is the film where the best actress Oscar is located.
In terms of character setting, the name is very interesting-Jasmine (jasmine), Ginger (ginger), Chili (chili), and the main characters of the story are also these three flavors "Ingredients". The atmosphere and taste of the story can also be viewed from here. Sanwei "food ingredients" understand one or two.
I think the best part of the story, from Chili introducing the Russian dwarf to Jasmine, to the dentist who was attracted by Jasmine and kissing Jasmine with a self-confident heart. In fact, I can't distinguish between "diaosi" and "straight male cancer", and I don't want to overemphasize the problem of "different circles" and "different classes". After all, I'm talking about how to distinguish "white rich and beautiful". Digress.
The second day after watching the movie, I carefully analyzed the women I knew around me who I thought were closer to the concept of "white rich beauty", and then discovered that there are various amazing similarities between "white rich beauty", such as :
1. There is no overly clear concept of money:
This situation is particularly prominent when they pursue the quality of the items they use and the generosity of their friends around them.
Many people will use the price of an item to measure the value of an item, and they will use the value itself (design, materials, quality, effect, etc.) to confirm whether the price is appropriate. Thanks to them, I get Many very useful product introductions.
The situation of being generous to friends mostly occurs in gatherings, gatherings and various activities, such as when they have to check out or add items at their own expense, they will be relatively proactive in showing generosity, but not publicity.
2. Parents are usually not from ordinary working families:
We often mention the concept of girls who want to be rich. This idea is very good. I was born in a family with ordinary working-class parents. In fact, I am considered rich, but the resources are also limited.
Therefore, my concept of money and the pursuit of quality of life also have certain restrictions and objective restrictions. When my personality develops to a stable stage, it will naturally produce a certain degree of self-restraint.
The “Bai Fumei” mentioned above does not have an overly clear concept of money. It is that when their parents pay for it, they will not feel as strenuous as the working parents who want to be rich and raise their children. Parents with ordinary working background feel that Or think that it is: powerlessness, extravagance and unnecessary parenting methods. For "white rich and beautiful" parents, under normal circumstances, it should belong to: relaxed, ordinary and appropriate .
Under the parenting mentality of "relaxed, common and should", "Bai Fumei" naturally does not have an overly strong concept of money, and does not feel that the pursuit of quality is worthy of shame, requires guilt, or even unnecessary.
Just like the Princess and the Pea, she doesn't feel ashamed to tell her host that the mattress is strange.
3. Interaction with others:
In fact, the "Bai Fumei" around me rarely intervene in the affairs of their surrounding friends.
In most cases, their attitude is open and neutral, but if we take the initiative to ask them and hope to listen to their opinions and suggestions, they will express their likes and dislikes directly and in black and white. .
They usually express their inner feelings very straightforwardly, because they have very clear standards for things in their hearts, otherwise how can they have the value to measure specific items?
They have a clearer attitude towards others, which is their good quality and a trait that is easily criticized by others. After all, not everyone can get their appreciation, love and care, so many people who are blinded and ignored will work hard to promote their arrogance and indifference.
But remember, because few people can have conflicts of interest with "Bai Fumei", generally speaking, they are not bad at people and are more kind.
In fact, in my heart, no one is inherently evil. Many people choose a situation that is more beneficial to them in the face of their interests. Such a choice will inevitably or accidentally cause a negative or tragic impact on others, rather than being missed. Take the initiative to harm others for no reason.
4. Career development:
"Bai Fumei" may not always win at the starting line of life.
But they will have more opportunities than ordinary people to follow their hearts and interests to plan their own life blueprints, careers and studies, in addition to the possibility of family influences and choose realistic and utilitarian industries, they will also be affected by their inner needs. Driven to do some business that is not profitable or has a high time cost.
In addition to choosing work or career out of hobbies and family responsibilities, "Bai Fumei" will also engage in jobs with very average salaries to pass the time.
But there is one thing that can clearly distinguish the existence of "white rich and beautiful" in the workplace, probably because of their anger. The word "high-spirited" is often misunderstood as "high-spirited", but in fact, Standing at home and abroad, in many workplace misbehaviors that use body and youth capital to exchange performance and positions, "high spirits" in my opinion is a compliment. Necessary personal betrayal (please note that it refers to unnecessary situations. At work, in the vast majority of situations, it is possible to do a good job by doing things on the fly).
After all, to have a face, this is the primary quality of "white, rich and beautiful" people.
5. Personal hobbies:
According to my observations, "Bai Fumei" is not necessarily keen on discussing famous brands or all kinds of tall life. There is a sentence on the Internet that can explain the daily life and character of "Bai Fumei" from the negative side-"What does a person show off? , Is what it really lacks".
Under normal circumstances, it is rare for individuals to see "Bai Fumei" after buying a brand-name product and drying it out the first time, and telling you clearly how expensive this guy is. In most cases, they will release things that you may have never seen, don't know, or don't understand, but will be surprised if you check the price later, and tell you that this is a good product and she thinks it is good.
Of course, if they have selfies (such as full-length photos), we usually find some expensive little details in the photos.
Because there is not too much pressure in life, "Bai Fumei" is usually more able to persist in pursuing personal interests than ordinary people, and it may also be more able to focus on some subjects that do not have too much substantial gains than ordinary people. We usually see fashion and The aura of exquisite life, fashion covers a lot of things, from clothing, accessories, interior decoration, furniture, sculpture, furnishings and other aspects of life, the same exquisite life, from home to travel, others may think that they are yearning Life, and they are treated as some kind of personal hobby.
Some "Bai Fumei" will evolve such hobbies into their lifelong careers and strive for them.
6. Friends circle:
From experience, I don’t think that "Bai Fumei"'s circle of friends is necessarily just "Bai Fumei", powerful people, there may be "green tea bitches" (knowing that this group is hard to defend and it is difficult to define), and there may be salaries. The children of the family, but there will not be "Diaosi" and "Loser" in the absolute sense.
Material conditions are not an absolute definition. The deadliest of "Diaosi" and "Loser" is a certain psychological deficiency. It is difficult for this group of people to enter or integrate into the so-called "white rich and beautiful" circle-"Daosi" and "Loser" "I will regard what is far above my own ability as my goal, what I am not self-improving as a social debt, and hate the circles that cannot be integrated. I never think there is any merit in such a mentality.
---Okay, finally come to the spoiler link, friends who have not watched the movie can give up reading --- "Blue Jasmine" really gave me a guide, let me redefine the "white rich and beautiful" Conceptually, Jasmine is a typical "white rich and beautiful", but she is not a born princess. Maybe she was adopted from a good family situation, which gave her a good growth and development environment. The growth background determines what kind of people she will meet (because of people Will have the ability to distinguish the same kind due to their birth and growth environment). It is undeniable that even if it is an economic criminal or a business liar, Jasmine's ex-husband is a very capable person, and therefore can give Jasmine a very rich and even luxurious life for a relatively long period of time, and make her accustomed to it.
Even if she was so downhearted that she wanted to take refuge in her half-sister Ginger (born from the same orphanage), who was much in need of her life, she reflexively chose to sit in first class and did not sell the Birkin in her hands. , Nor did she take the clothes, shoes and socks that she wore to discount.
You know, for "Bai Fu Mei", these exquisite dresses are their skin.
Many unpleasant comments questioned why Jasmine sold the only possessions in his hand to achieve an independent life without being too desolate. They probably didn't understand this meaning.
They also think that although Chili, including the buddies introduced by Chili, have various obvious flaws, they are at least a person who "lives" and "understands true love," but they don't see that the impact of vulgarity on others' lives may be hell-like.
Jasmine has repeatedly told Ginger that someone who thinks she deserves a better one should also find a better one. She probably understood that the environment that Ginger lives in or has always been a swamp and mud, it can't be better, it will definitely be worse.
Indeed, when Ginger ran into the scum and gave up the pursuit and reunited with Chili, he gave each of us a headshot: You think you want to make others live better out of good intentions, but everyone does With the destiny created by my inherent mentality, everything is destined to be futile.
In the relationship between Jasmine and Ginger, I also wondered for a moment whether the sisters were sincere.
On the surface, Jasmine asked Ginger’s ex-husband to use all his savings to buy shares in his liar’s ex-husband’s project. It was a mess and led to Ginger’s divorce. Ginger meets a scumbag. But in Jasmine's body, investing in the scammer's ex-husband's project is to hope that they can live a decent life like herself. Hope that Ginger and Chili are separated because she clearly sees this man's flaws, and they are all fatal flaws.
Leading Ginger to the reception is half and half. She needs someone to accompany her to such occasions again. At the same time, she also feels that usually in such an environment, after all, she can meet a decent other half, and why Ginger meets a scumbag , And what Jasmine met was a high-quality man, the reason is really self-evident.
The more I look down, the more I like the role of Jasmine. Don't forget that she is squandering. She is not at all ambiguous about tipping, which can be stingy. She knows it should be.
In particular, the teaching of "Tip generously to the waiter, but they live by the tip!" I directly gave her full marks. Respect everyone who provides services to you, I think this is the most basic self-cultivation of a person.
And why I particularly like the conflict between Jasmine and Chili and Jasmine and the dentist, rather than the later period where Jasmine lied to a good-quality man until the truth was revealed in order to cover up the past. The reason is really personal. After all, I have been there before. Blind date male.
Men who think that they have very good personal conditions and unilaterally objectify women will naively think that even if a woman has been brilliant in the past, but now she is down, she should try to socialize if she is introduced to a blind date with a loser.
After all, they ignorantly think that as long as a woman likes a man, whether the man is a loser or not, it is an honor to be felt.
The dentist exposed the same situation. He felt that women dressed appropriately (or even very good-looking) when he appeared, were sending him the signal of "I declare you, be my male ticket".
Everyone knows that while "women are the ones who please themselves", there are also people who care about their own dressing and matching out of politeness and self-consciousness.
In addition, I believe that as a dentist, I have my own small dental clinic, I firmly believe that my pursuit and confession will be successful (a strong kiss attitude often proves such a mentality), but in fact, it is not.
I can't distinguish "straight male cancer" from "Diaosi" and "Loser". I think these three characteristics usually appear in the same individual, occasionally the first two, the latter two, a combination of 1 and 3. , I rarely see individual cases, which really makes me unable to distinguish the difference between the three. Regardless, everyone has their own destiny anyway.
I prefer to believe that Jasmine’s tragic result is that the film may be designed to convey Jasmine’s major personality defects (bad math, letting go of her husband’s business, giving up studies, not having the ability to live independently, not being calm in situations, and not being ruthless enough) to her life. The inevitable disaster (Oh, this analysis reminds me of Ibsen’s "Doll’s House" and Lu Xun’s "What happened to Nora Leaving"). The same women lied to cover up their past experiences. Jasmine obviously did not. "Hors de Prix (True Love is Priceless)" is the luck of Cordeli Tatu. But I still wonder if the two pretending dicks finally came together in the name of true love, is it really a happy thing. Anyway, I give a low score for "Hors de Prix" and a high score for "Blue Jasmine".
At the end of the film, Jasmine must be crazy, and I believe that the rest of life must go from bad to worse, the story did not continue, but we obviously should already know the ending.
