who is jasmine? It is the dream created by Janet, the humble Janet's desire for a happy life. Although in the film Jasmine downplayed to her rich wife "girlfriends" that she was just a mess in college, the contradiction is that she later confessed to her two nephews that she was once a top student, relying on help. Children earn pocket money. I prefer to believe the latter version. How can Jasmine, who lives in the upper class, let others know that poor and rustic Janet used to be? One can imagine how dissatisfied the former Janet was with her life. She wants to study hard to win a bright future, but she feels that this kind of hope is slim. In conflicts and struggles, she met hal, rich and handsome. Hal is much older than Janet and has a child who is almost ten years old. But what does this have to do with Janet? Hal is the savior who took her out of the sea of suffering. Janet threw himself into Hal's arms desperately, and couldn't wait to give up everything in the past. Finally, she became the jasmine of her dreams. She can travel the world in chanel and hermes, wear a little black dress of Dior and meet celebrities at the reception. Daily life is just yoga, Pilates, charity dinners and shopping, without work. , No need to learn. She really believes that she is jasmine, her temperament is elegant and good-talking, and her name has a faint fragrance of jasmine.
Anything good has a price. In order to maintain the identity of Jasmine, she is used to closing one eye. She turns a deaf ear to her husband's financial fraud, and pretends to be deaf and dumb to her husband's repeated derailments. She seemed to think that as long as she believed the lies she had fabricated, she would be able to sustain her shaky life. While panicking to draw a line from everything in the past, not only the rustic name, but also the younger sister Ginger, while busy shaping the noble lady jasmine. So she was dragged by reality to the brink of collapse. I believe that the so-called French girls are just the last straw that crushes the camel.
When the life of a drunk gold fan suddenly collapsed, she was lost. Because Jasmine had lost the basis of existence, she and everything she had fell apart. But what is even more frightening is that Janet has long since disappeared. Now she has no academic qualifications and can't work. Years of easy life has even consumed her learning ability and spirit of struggle. She has no capital to be a janet anymore. The only connection between her and Janet is her sister Ginger. She moved to her sister's house on the one hand to be desperate, but more to be Janet back. But for many years, she has a superior sense of superiority towards her sister, thinking that she is not the same as her sister. In fact, strictly speaking, they are really not in the same world. One has been a good girl since childhood, and the other has been rebellious since childhood. Ginger teased that he ran away from home since he could walk. Both sisters are well aware of this difference. The difference is that Jasmine gradually alienates her sister with a dislike, while Ginger has a low self-esteem when facing her sister, but she still cherishes this unrelated family relationship.
After all, life is not an inspirational movie. When Jasmine returned to his sister, he found that everything was nonsense. It was not easy to start from the beginning. Jasmine looked at the loser world where Ginger lived in panic, how scared she was to be one of them, so she clung to her lv suitcase, chanel coat and birkin bag. Finally, she picked up the most handy weapon-deceive, deceive others, deceive herself, until she fell heavily again, but this time she did not pick up the platinum bag.
When Jasmine was sitting on a street bench with wet hair and muttering to himself, the bluemoon melody sounded. I think this is not just a movie about vanity and deceit, but also guides people to think about the relationship between dreams and self. People should not regard self as an obstacle to the realization of their dreams at any time. Human growth is about constant self-improvement, rather than ruthless separation. Jasmine's tragedy was doomed from the moment she abandoned Janet.
