"Blue Jasmine" is an American film directed by Woody Allen in 2013, starring Cate Blanchett won the 86th Academy Award for Best Actress for this film.

I remember that the first time I saw this movie was just after the Oscars. At that time, I didn’t know who Woody Allen was, but I was attracted by Cate Blanchett’s superb acting skills. fans".

However, when I re-watch it now, I find that Woody Allen's script is so exquisite, and the character of Jasmine fades away from elegance and gorgeousness like peeling an onion, leaving only ridiculous vanity. It's hard for me to say which character in the script Woody Allen has sympathy for. The plot and the plot are closely aligned, and the past and the present unfold in parallel, forming a wonderful irony in the echo. The laughs in comedy always come from the gap between the characters or the plot, and this movie fully reflects this.

Sally Hawkins as Ginger

In the play design of this film, "gap" is reflected in almost every place. This kind of gap is not directly displayed, but through the collage of fragments and fragments, to achieve a satirical effect.

    A very interesting movie, the story is simple but not monotonous, and the excellent characterization makes the whole film look so bright. Especially the hateful and cute heroine created by Cate, acrimonious, ignorant and arrogant, and pretentious and arrogant. When she loses everything around her, her tragic self-talking look, a lively human world. Tragedy, but people can't help but snicker-she herself has molded herself into such a great joke.
