Blue Jasmine

Once Jasmine was "a woman of high society", which had all — wealth, of a beloved husband, a carefree luxurious life in new York. But suddenly it losing it and, becoming a overnight to drunk the neurotic, goes to visit your living in San Francisco sister ginger, who never knew luxury, living in a cramped apartment with her two children, and also having in Boyfriends is questionable and vulgar macho mechanic Chile. Whether you need to say that the conflict was eager to return to the upper light sublime Jasmine with the rough reality of the "bottom" with time will only increase...

In the description of the story you nothing so familiar? Right, woody Allen has perefraziroval one of the most famous plays of the great playwright Tennessee Williams — "a Streetcar named Desire". Allen borrowed the plot outline from the famous works — suffice it to recall the "Match point", but if the picture he argued with "Crime and punishment" Dostoevsky, and also "an American tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser, it here he more strongly calcium play, changing a little bit like interpretation, so and the very ideological. If Williams talked about the conflict elevated spirituality and vulgar prisiminti, then Allen is more focused on the drama of a woman who, having lost everything, does not shun any means, in order to win its original position, guided not so much high romantic motifs, as common with craving for wealth and a comfortable existence. Have Allen is also a very different emotional disposition — movie set is easy, bright, Sunny, no grams of depression, despite the fact that just Blanchett draws not just the drama of the heroine, and a real tragedy, and here I would like to dwell. Of course, I haven't seen anything yet contenders for the current "Oscar" in the category best female role, but I have vote with your hands and for his got it, as the talented Aussie played here one of the most powerful of their roles. With ease butterflies Blanchett transforms the glamorous inhabitant of Manhattan, then the neurotic, the hysterical, the in a pathetic crazy and makes it so naturally, vividly and emotionally that I just get incredible pleasure from such a powerful acting performance. It game not overshadows the other actors, allowing to reveal how often annoying me for the truth, Sally Hawkins, here good looking in the role of the bedraggled ginger, so  & colorful Bobby cannavale, who played a vivid image of her sedlackova groom. Here only the lack of mention in the credits Williams a bit cringe — too obviously it influence the only mention of Allen in as writer, not without any word on that the film is at least "inspired by A Streetcar Named Desire", seems a little unfair.

Bohemian life Jasmine ends in a total collapse — husband is a multimillionaire it turns out the financial speculators caught behind bars in the course of which scores of all the property is impounded by the state, and her Jasmine is forced to move to a half-sister ginger, to which have always been treated with disdain because of her low social status. Constant stress and alcohol make the main character in the classic image of women "out of control".

Only woody Allen can take a classic example, "PEEN" it to give cheers quite fresh piece. He already pulled this trick, presenting to the public "Match point", where one could easily guess the motives of Dostoevsky and Dreiser, in "Jasmine" is this spectacular treatment was subjected to Tennessee Williams with his "the Tram "Desire". Despite the obvious allusions, the script is original, if considered with the opinion of various premium committees which identificeret it as such poured a heap of nominations. Not remained matters premium the singer — cate Blanchett, who played here one of his most striking and best roles.

At first, the film quietly goes track typically "Alenushka" of the film, easy satire, the usual jokes, but at some point the movie turns from ways of becomes the real drama. Not say that Allen was in over my head and took a masterpiece, but "Jasmine" is sure to boast that movie can be put in the best works of the Director. A light, sometimes ironic, but a caustic statement paints the realities of post-crisis America, making turns from the life of wealthy secular "cream" to ordinary citizens. On the background of bright contrast between the feigned wealth and intelligence, which can suddenly evaporate, and"one-storeyed" America with her cheerful simpletons who are important to the family was sated, healthy and put, and everything else will come time, develops the the drama of a man caught in a skating rink of doom. Under the accompaniment of such UPS and downs, but also the mockery of fate give a wonderful performance not only cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins, but and the other participants of this action, which is the Beau sisters Jasmine — a clueless dork in performed by Bobby cannavale. In the mockery of society Allen remains true to himself, offering the viewer not only to mock characters, which is likely, and deserved a similar fate, but and show compassion to one to whom it is more need in the moment.

- Plays the "Sad moon". Before I knew the words. I knew the words. No, they all mixed up (C)

Magic and colorful film woody Allen, which looks on one breath. This story about a man who is used to the big money, socialite evenings, to the lack of thoughts about how to feed his family or go to vacation to struck pocket. And who suddenly lost everything.

Jasmine whole life is lived in an environment of luxury and wealth, with her beloved husband, to whom she fully surrendered and trusted. But all good things sooner or later comes to an end. The recklessness and life circumstances forced her to move on time to his sister, ginger. Jasmine appears before us as a paranoid and hysterical woman, who was accustomed to wealth so that without — she was able to find a new place in life. Her dream and reality crashed and went to the bottom of the aristocratic and bourgeois life. I lost everything that she had Jasmine not able to live a normal life, because she is not able or does not want to be able to live as her half-sister, and is struggling to return to the usual environment. When it is not afraid to lie and not speak the truth to the man she supposedly loves and wants to spend the rest of my life with him.

The woody Allen film combines a lot of mini plot lines that make you think. About how status can affect relations with half-sister. On what could possibly go people, building new relationships, for the return to the old life. As the lack of millions of dollars, mansions and cars makes some people unhappy, and other, no matter what, happy and without it.

What happened with You if you were in a similar situation? There would be us same paranoia and hysteria? Would not look person, first, his status and wallet? Would lie face not think about the consequences of their choices?

I would like to highlight cate Blanchett, although other actors also did a pretty good job, especially Sally Hawkins Alec Baldwin. Magnificent and the most likely game cate Blanchett (Jasmine) won her a coveted Oscar in the category "Best female role", and also numerous other awards, leaving all his rivals far behind. Kate lives the life of Jasmine to the screen vividly demonstrates the whole spectrum of emotions: whether it is depression, joy, paranoia, hysteria.

I advise you to watch this film to all who loves the works of woody Allen, and also cate Blanchett. And those who just like a good and interesting movie, not deprived of sense.
