I watched this movie after seeing it. Because I always felt that the title of the film was too sad, I subconsciously wanted to avoid the tragic film made by the old man. So I read it all before and after, but this puzzle is missing. Fighting today.
I have to admire Cate Blanchett's performance. I sighed when she choked, I was full of understanding when she persisted, I sweated for her when she was lucky, and even when she couldn't breathe, I seemed to have difficulty breathing. Although the character is far away from me, it is easily brought in by her performance. Moreover, her aura is really strong, so big that even if the role is so unbearable, my impression is still: there is no man here who is worthy of her.
The script feels like one of Woody's most plump in recent years. The last script that felt more fleshed out was Match Point. Most of the other films in recent years have more atmosphere than plot. Many people can't even remember what it is after watching it, and they just leave some beautiful pictures.
Like some of Woody's other characters, Jasmin's tragedy begins at the same time as her "lucky moment." When she gave up her studies, gave up a real path, and turned from a top student Jeanette into an illusory Jasmin, her tragedy was doomed. It's like the "gift given by fate, the price has already been marked in secret".
Suddenly thought of myself. Looking back on the few emotional experiences in my life, I have also told some little lies that I think are insignificant for vanity, and there are more or less whitewashing plots. Fortunately, the one I am staying by my side is the one I have chosen from the beginning and who I can truly face without any scruples. As we get older, we find more and more that the best way to solve anxiety and open our hearts is to not run away from problems and face difficulties.
Pull away. What I'm trying to say is that Jasmin's lies, and her "turning a blind eye", as well as her pride and persistence, I can totally understand. How I wished she was as lucky as the hero in match point to fool the seemingly perfect diplomat. However, the feelings that are attached to people on top of lies are like castles in the air. Even if they are not exposed, they are like walking on thin ice. Moreover, that diplomat with some political aspirations is absolutely impossible to be perfect. So now this ending is not bad.
In other words, even though they were at the same party, the two sisters found so many different people. It was true that everyone had their own aspirations. I can't compare who is happier, but I remember a quote from Woolf's diary: "Never pretend that what you don't have isn't worth it."
Raymond Chandler wrote in "The Long Goodbye": "The most deadly trap in the world is the one you set for yourself." So if she wants to get out of this vicious circle, she must learn to face herself truthfully and this cruel life.
