Blue Jasmine

In July 2022, I watched Blu Jasmine for the first time on the television set. The drama film was released in 2013. It was directed by Woody Allen and stars Cate Blanchett.

Jasmine, the protagonist, had led a luxurious life thanks to her rich husband until her husband was arrested. The bimbo with little fortune continues to think of herself as special without the basis of it and annoy people around her.

Jasmine was associated with the awful memories of a woman who had always told me to go to her favorite expensive restaurant saying that she did not want to drink with me in a cheap bar, which made me feel ill. Although she was pretty, yet she was selfish, extravagant, indifferent with the arts and really resembled Jasmine who misunderstands herself and lies.

Cate Blanchett looking cool and intelligent gave a brilliant performance as the bimbo. Then Blanchett won the Oscar for Best Actress in the movie. She was a wonderful actor who can play various roles. I had been not interested in her in The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Gift but I got intrigued with her as the nasty but kind of attractive stepmother in Cinderella. I have finally become a big fan of her since I watched Ocean's Eight in which she was awesome. I was attracted by a devilish face that she shows in Nightmare Alley when it was released. She was wonderful when she acted an elegant lady in Carol costarring with Rooney Mara. I had wanted to see the way she performs under the direction of Wood Allen in Blue Jasmine, however, her performance was so amazing and overwhelming that I almost forgot that it was Allen's film. I have not yet viewed Elizabeth that made her famous. I must do it if I want to say that I am a fan of her.
