BLUE JASMINE directed and written by Woody Allen
Basically, Blue Jasmine is about a woman named
Jasmine who rose up above her commoner-life environment to the elite
status. How? Apparently, she did it the most common way
one rises above their peers, she married a rich man.
Unfortunately, her
husband, as rich and as generous as he appeared to be was nothing but a white
collar crook. He got rich by creating a
Ponzi scheme which caught up with him.
Easy come, easy go.
Then Jasmine was broke.
She moved in with her sister, a hard working commoner. As much as she turned her nose up at her
sister, she wasn't above eating her food or sleep under her roof.
The movie was typical Woody Allen. A typical Woody Allen movie writes
itself. One just adds the plot and step back - The story
starts metamorphosing on its own. Or,
that is how it appears anyway.
If you like disappointments, disillusions, pretentious, superficial, and despair with
an occasional wise-crack that adds or take away from something profound you will
probably like this. I know I did.
