The story of "High Material Girl" and "Tiger Falls to Pingyang". The narrative method of parallel flashbacks makes the whole structure look a bit chaotic, but it has to be said that this is a rare satirical film worth pondering in recent years.

Jasmine's truth and hypocrisy are like two sides of a coin, and it's hard for anyone to sympathize with her in the end. Vanity, neurotic, hysterical, Blanchett's acting is superb, perfectly shaping the image of a classic woman under the camera. In addition to the ridicule of the rich, there is also the woman herself... But it is somewhat discouraging to criticize the human feelings so far.

Blue Jasmine quotes

  • Jasmine: But that's all history boys, I met someone, I'm a new person.

  • [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.
