first, I thought the translation of "Life of Jasmine" was strange, and it reminded me of Zhang Moumou's "Jasmine Blossom". The prejudice led to the prejudice against "Jasmine Blossom", which caused the initial disdain for "Jasmine Life", --- Self-summary: Don't be ignorant when thinking about problems.
All in all, a good film One!
Why is it called "Life of Jasmine"? After watching the movie twice, I would like to talk about my own shallow opinion.
Jasmine seems to be a symbol in the film.
The night before leaving home, Marjane slept with her grandmother, and she was very concerned about the fragrance of jasmine on her body. Raised curiosity,
-- Grandma, you always smell good. How do you all do it?
--I collect jasmine flowers every morning and I put these flowers in my underwear when I get dressed so I always smell good.
--It's amazing!
This is the tone of the whole film. Grandma, Arush..., those who played an important role in Marjane's life, all gave her this lesson: don't forget your roots. Even if you are in a foreign country, away from your relatives, You must not forget where you came from, and the fragrance of jasmine in your hometown—the jasmine flowers that fell from your grandmother's body, just like the warmth of the homeland that cannot be wiped away...
And the appearance of another supporting role seems to be another reason. Jasmine's bloom adds new meaning: Lufa, a communist, has only two scenes throughout: the encounter with Marjane and his daughter in the Rousseau newspaper office, and the death on the gallows. The reason why I am impressed, except that Her identity as a communist is also due to the jasmine flower on her dress.
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a series of events occurred in Iran, the overthrow of the king, the Islamic revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, etc. It wasn't the good life that people expected: Western culture was seen as depraved, women were forced to wear veils, tens of thousands were thrown into prison...
As the grandma in the film said, freedom and life are in other places.
I admire Marjane, can choose to leave bravely, choose a truly free life, and keep in mind the entrustment of my relatives: be the same as the surface, don't forget the fundamentals. To
paraphrase what Squad Leader Shi said Words: There is a flower in everyone's heart. Although this flower is not another flower, the fragrance is still there for everyone...
PS: I remember watching "House of Flying Daggers" and the subtitles that finally appeared on the screen puzzled me for a while. : I would like to dedicate this film to Miss Anita Mui...cough cough~ Digression, what I want to say is that at the end, I would like to dedicate this whole piece of clumsy words to Ms. Marjane Satrapi, thank you for sharing her unique story with us Life experience, as well as director Vincent Paronnaud, a great style of painting, although loyal to the original, but there is no lack of personal innovation, thank you!
