Versailles literature swept the screen across the internet, and on the originator, we had to mention a movie that mocked the vain life of the nobility, "Blue Jasmine". Actress Kate Blanchett won the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress for this neurotic "Versailles Heroine" role.
The film begins with the heroine Jasmine dressed as a famous lady dressed in the first class of the plane and people chattering about her romantic history and extravagant lifestyle with her rich husband. It wasn't until she came to the home of the supermarket cashier's sister that we learned that she had gone bankrupt and in debt, her husband had committed suicide, and her son had left home, and she was a relative who had come to run to the poor.
Life started again, and Jasmine took a job at the front desk of a dental clinic and went to study computers. However, it is not easy to re-enter the workplace after a pampered life, not only to endure boring work and the harassment of the boss, but also to study very hard. Unsatisfactory work, the embarrassing situation of sending people under the fence, she escapes reality by drinking and reminiscing about her past, and people become nauseous.
Soon, Jasmine met a diplomat at the party, and she managed to attract the other party with her good conversation and lying status. When the two fought fiercely and were ready to get married, they were punctured by lies, and she was abandoned. Jasmine's hopes of returning to high society were completely dashed, and she took to the streets alone to talk to herself, becoming a madman, which was really pitiful and hateful.
The hateful thing is that Jasmine is obviously poor and poor, but she does not change her past style, sits in first class, wears designer clothes, shoes, bags, and dictates her sister's life. She refuses to accept the fact that she has fallen to the bottom, and the hard-concave lady is really funny and ironic. In the last memories, we also found that her former rich life has long been in ruins, full of crises, her husband is out of the ordinary, financial investment is just a scam, she just does not want to believe and face the reality.
Sadly, years of aristocratic life in high society have long since turned Jasmine into covetous vanity and lost the ability to survive alone, but she refuses to let go of her arrogant self-esteem. Her self-deception when she met diplomats took this vanity to the extreme, and she even believed in the lies of running the train. This paranoid character also doomed her tragic fate.
In fact, what is more terrible than the ups and downs of life is the ability to refuse to face reality and be powerless to change. Jasmine had the opportunity to become an independent woman who supported herself, but once again pinned her hopes on men, resulting in greater humiliation and blows, leaving her devastated! It is not an exaggeration to say that her tragedy was self-inflicted.
Through the continuous interspersing of Jasmine's memories and the contrast with her current life, the film allows us to see step by step the truth of the lives of the noble ladies of high society, and also see how she is going to degenerate. The life of a drunken fan is nothing more than a gorgeous and illusory dream, life is deceiving her, and she chooses to continue to deceive herself.
With her superb acting skills, the Great Demon King Cate Blanchett can be described as a person who has supported a movie, accurately and perfectly interpreting the image of a proud, sensitive and neurotic fallen woman, and the embarrassment, helplessness, and disappointment of the noblewoman falling to the bottom are too real and cruel.
Men, money and everything are floating clouds, women must not only see the truth of life, but also have the courage to face life, and the endless combat effectiveness can fight with the world to the end! Remember, no one can save you but yourself!
