The film "Blue Jasmine" invited Blanchett, the queen of the elf, to play a severely dependent patient who lived in the upper circle of New York, and suddenly fell from the upper circle to the bottom. Guests, seeing the building collapsed. Jasmine, who fell from a high place, can't stand her feet. Since her ex-husband was imprisoned, her financial resources for high-class life have been cut off. The keys to the seaside house no longer belong to her, and the yachts in the Yachting Bay of Monaco no longer belong to her. Only the CHANEL jacket, the Birkin, and a look of loneliness and disdain. Leaving the staggered charity dinner, I came to the slums of San Francisco to join my sister. For a free dinner, I sat at the same table with my annoying sister's boyfriend in the open-air market. In a trance, I took the fishy fishing pier as a South French coast.
Lonely in yesterday's world, disdain for today's world. The cunning and cunning Allen put Jasmine in such a difficult situation, and took a picture of a lady in distress, and taught countless girls and old girls who dream of being a lady.
Allen's films have been watched a lot, and there are always shadows of textbooks. He always teaches a class of students who are neither too smart nor too stupid. They have desires but do not have the ability to achieve them. For the life they want, sometimes clear, sometimes vague, and vivid, the common symptom is that they want more than they have. For this, Allen sneered quietly hiding behind the camera. The more lost his protagonist is, the more ruthlessly he smiles.
In "Midnight in Paris", the group dramas that travel back to the left bank before World War II mocked the narrowness and boredom of today's upstarts in New York; in "Midnight in Barcelona", the unrestrained Scarlett was used to set off the restrained Rebecca, mocking The pretentiousness of middle-class girls; in "New York, I Love You", 4 stories are used to tease Eastside artists, Brooklyn tycoons, slum girls and Westside intellectuals. Allen is a well-deserved middle class The spokesperson of the class, he has been in it all the time, he has no cover, and the people who laugh at him also include himself.
The narrative method of "Blue Jasmine" has lost many Allen-style elements, with little sentiment and style, little worship and friendship between the protagonist and the master, and little dramatic dialogue and quirky scenes. This time, Allen treated the heroine Jasmine thoroughly enough, watching the fairy-like Blanchett seek a life in the mortal world. The self-show and eloquent talk in first class made the audience mistakenly think that Jasmine was a typical elite class. Jasmine at the luggage conveyor belt pointed to the LV box to the bellboy, and the lady who listened to her nagging all the way laughed and said that it was all Jasmine's self. While talking to himself, the pungent taste of the lens came out.
Allen-esque cynicism is always unexpected, with mild drizzle in the first minute and gusty rain in the next. Jasmine's embarrassment was exposed when she got out of the taxi and asked for directions. Suddenly, the complete set of LV suitcases became her outfit. When these boxes appeared in her sister's small apartment, they were as dazzling and out of place as Jasmine.
"Queen of the Elf" Blanchett's natural noble style has been embedded in the bone marrow, and she has the sense of seeing Princess Pea hiding in the farmhouse. Although real life makes her look very hasty, she always chooses the harsh conditions of angel investors. male companion. However, she encountered a life that was extremely disproportionate to her appearance. Since her ex-husband committed suicide in prison for commercial fraud, she often lost herself in her memories. A large number of parallel montages are used in the film, allowing the audience to switch between Jasmine's afternoon tea in the past and today's dental reception, and understand that her memories not only stay in the swimming pool on Long Island, but also stay in the computer class at night school. It turns out that she has deeply imprinted the brand of the upper class in her heart, and her past and present life alternately staged. This is Ellen's camera language again. The cool, restrained and wily Alan gives us the pleasure of never directly revealing his position on the characters, but subtly keeping a distance from the characters. If there are slaps and floggings, please follow the camera, wherever you go what he wanted to say.
Interestingly, when all the films are shooting the story of the success of counterattack, Allen made this story of success and then falling. He knew very well that attacking the rich was easy and difficult to defend, and even Jasmine, who trained a lady to become a professional, would not pass the test. Jasmine, an atypical middle class, was born into a poor family with hidden scheming. She has been preparing for a wealthy family since the beginning of college and pursued a shortcut to the upper class. It is better to say that they are over-molded rather than trying to follow the mainstream values that worship money and power. lost its beautiful body.
When the audience thought that Jasmine had met a liar, Ellen's old hotness appeared again, and the plot reversed at the end. It turned out that Jasmine had been living a self-deceiving lie. You need yourself wrapped in this aura of life. Feel that you are born to be invited, focused, praised, and flattered. Without these functions, how can you prove your natural good taste and philanthropic bloodline? When these auras fade, you can only sit on a bench by the street and talk Listen to myself.
