When a woman who enjoys the habit of high materials suddenly falls to the bottom of society one day, what kind of things will she do? Selling your body or soul to continue enjoying it? Or is it a down-to-earth horse that walks dead on the ground?
This movie, "Blue Jasmine", tells the story of such a woman, starring Kate Blanchett, an actor who is very familiar with the American power faction and even some people call it the Great Devil.
If there are many actors who can support a movie by themselves, then the great demon Kate Blanchett is definitely one, and it is the king level of these actors. With a variety of honors, she does not have to prove anything to others, but her performance in each work is textbook wonderful and dedicated!
In the blue jasmine movie, Kate Blanchett plays a noblewoman named Jasmine, which translates to Jasmine. Jasmine was a noblewoman, and before her husband's accident, she and the people around her thought so. Living a wealthy life, her husband pampered her until she suddenly found out that her husband was having an affair.
Having an affair is one thing, what is more unexpected to her is that her husband, who usually loves herself, is not a rich man, the rich life she has is actually an illusion, her husband is actually a big liar, but because of his outstanding ability, he has cheated a lot of income, so that she can live a life that others envy.
It doesn't matter if her husband is a fraud, as long as he has money. However, people who often walk by the river, who have always been smooth sailing, always have a time to wet their feet. Her husband not only cheated, but also had an accident. At the same time as being arrested by the police, he could not bear the hardships of prison and committed suicide in prison.
In the blink of an eye, everything Jasmine had was sealed, and she went from a noblewoman to a penniless poor person, so she had to go to the countryside to rely on her sister.
From the life of a noblewoman who spends a lot of money to a world worse than ordinary people, Jasmine's spirit seems to be about to collapse. Facing the real life, she can't help but miss the happy memories of the past, so she seems to be incompatible with the people around her.
She doesn't like her sister's ex-husband, Agui, and she doesn't like her current boyfriend, Chill, so her life is not good for her sister, especially if her sister has been cheated of money by her dead husband.
So she got a job in a dentist clinic, and having a job didn't get her life back on track, after all, she was a blessed person, so she still made a mess of her life.
Until she meets a funny and rich civil servant again, she sees the opportunity to re-enter high society, the two soon get to know each other, and even prepare to buy a wedding ring, but fate does not seem to take care of her again, and her life becomes dark again because of the appearance of a person...
The film deeply portrays a materialistic woman, how she climbs up, then falls, and wants to go up.
The absolute protagonist of the movie, of course, is Jasmine played by Kate Blanchett, when she was young, her life was a little miserable, as an orphan, she longed for a happy and rich life since childhood, but it is a pity that she was adopted by an ordinary family.
So when she was still in school, she met her rich and handsome husband, resolutely dropped out of school, and then married into the rich, after joining the high society, she vividly showed the vanity and snobbery of women, and when she was beautiful, she did not pay much attention to her sister who was not related by blood, but grew up together.
Her arrogance and indifference were expressed without any clothes from the moment she became a noblewoman.
On the surface, her husband cheated on her, but the ending director came to a big reversal. It turned out that Jasmine had told the police that her husband was a liar, because her husband had cheated on him, and she wanted to take revenge on him, but what she didn't expect was that she had also put her own noblewoman's life into it.
Therefore, she has always known that her husband is a liar, but in her eyes, it is not a matter. It can be seen from this that a woman is materialistic, how terrible it is, and then how stupid and cruel it is to be jealous. At the same time, in the film, the men who appear around her, is she filtering with a sieve? And this sieve has only one sieve hole: substance.
Falling from heaven to hell may seem like punishment for her, but it also illustrates a truth: self-inflicted sins, no living, greedy, will hurt themselves.
Kate Blanchett's performance in the film is really love and hate, and the audience can easily accept the unwelcome side of her role, the annoying and sympathetic contradiction temptation, this kind of acting is not strange. Therefore, this film also made her win the honor of the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards.
