"You can't bargain with the life you've examined"

The story is told from the perspective of a bystander, so that the audience can always stand in an objective and calm position to watch the chaotic world shown by the one-and-a-half hour film. In this way, Woody Allen takes the audience to a fancy way to appreciate the Hollywood of the 1930s. At the same time, it focuses on the dialogue between the characters who embody the theme of the film.

"An unexamined life is not worth living, and you still can't bargain if you have examined it." This sentence combined with the theme of the film's change and immutability probably means this: time passes, people change, but the world does not law changes.

    I like it very much. The feeling of the past few years is: unreasonable person < magic moonlight < coffee commune < blue jasmine. The lighting is so beautiful, and the golden beautification is beautiful. Curly is the best character so far, KS's performance is getting better and better, the more dull the ending is, the more like real life, reverie, dreams are dreams.

    love really? Watching a very enjoyable movie, the speed of the continuous cannons won my heart, but for me, who has completely lost love for this kind of thing, this ending seems to be right.
