| Blue Jasmine | comment |
A 2013 film written and directed by Woody Allen. It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin. It takes a lot of influence from A Streetcar Named Desire and the "serious" portion of Melinda and Melinda, as well as the real-life shenanigans of Bernie Madoff and his family.Jasmine, a formerly wealthy widow from New York, moves to San Francisco to live with her stepsister Ginger. She claims it's merely a temporary stay until she can get back on her feet, but it quickly becomes clear that her rich background has hampered her ability to function in middle-class society. She additionally has made a lot of enemies, from her husband's dishonest swindling to make himself rich. Rumors of a troubled past surround her, which gradually begin to choke off her attempts for a new life. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| Blue Jasmine / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The dentist that Jasmine works for is a full "nice guy", with a personality of awkward kindness that turns out to be over the spirit of a sexual harasser. His attempts to ask out Jasmine get uncomfortably direct until he flat out tries to kiss and grope her right there in the office, causing her to throw him off and leave the job. Hal is presented as a genuinely loving husband and excellent businessman. It turns out he's a scam artist who's been remorselessly cheating on his wife left and right for years. Al (whose name is perhaps deliberately similar to Hal's) seems cute in a dorky way and genuinely enamored with Ginger, only to turn out to have been cheating on his wife. | |

Narcissist | |
| Blue Jasmine / int_30d4f2a | comment |
Narcissist: Jasmine is this. Or more specifically she's an emotionally fragile egotist. It's clear she has little stable self-independence or value despite supposedly being in love with her own wealthy lifestyle and looking down on anyone who doesn't come close to her. Rather than trying it herself, she routinely expects that relationships with others will help give her both the sense of self-confidence and fabulous rich lifestyle she craves and believes she is entitled to. | |

Blatant Lies: Jasmine blithely declares to Ginger and Chili that she's going to move out of the apartment and in with Dwight, that he's asked her to redecorate his apartment, and that they will be moving to Vienna. As she's clearly on the verge of another nervous breakdown, it's possible that these are her delusions and that she genuinely believes what she's saying. | |

Bookends | |
| Blue Jasmine / int_5313c266 | comment |
Book Ends: The film begins and ends with Jasmine talking to a stranger about her life—wearing the same outfit, interestingly—the stranger not wanting to listen while she keeps on going. There are some key differences—in the first scene, she looks posh and coifed, her dialogue is coherent, and the other woman occasionally responds. The second time, she's bedraggled and babbling randomly and completely oblivious to the fact that the woman on the bench has very quickly gotten up and left. This all indicates that her breakdown is even more severe this time. | |

Affably Evil | |
| Blue Jasmine / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Zigzagged with Hal. Which is not surprising given that his fortune was made by convincing people to invest. One of his first scenes has him telling his son about how he donates money to charity to help the less fortunate, yet it's hinted his generosity isn't sincere, especially when you find out later what led to his arrest in the first place. | |

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Both averted and played straight. When Jasmine finally has clear proof that Hal has been cheating on her, he dismisses most of the affairs as just flings he had to let off some steam. The last one, however, he insists is true love and he's going to leave Jasmine to marry this new girl... even though she's only 18 and Hal is 55. | |

Lack of Empathy: As self-absorbed and unempathetic as Jasmine herself is, absolutely nobody seems to show much at all for her own problems, even if they cause it. It's especially egregious with her ex-husband, who acted quite insincere and unmoved when she freaked out about him cheating with many women behind her back. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Blue Jasmine / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Chili is very brash and has an explosive temper but he isn't wrong about Jasmine having a negative impact on everyone's lives or that she was a bad sister. Augie is shown to be just as brash and might have been abusive to Ginger. But he's not wrong when he accuses Jasmine of knowing all about Hal's crimes, as it later turns out Jasmine's the one who called the cops on Hal. In the opening sequence, Jasmine mentions Augie having hit Ginger. She sees similarities between him and Chili and part of the reason she encourages Ginger to dump him is that for all her snobbery and elitism, she genuinely wants better for her sister. As cold as he is to her, Danny's anger towards Jasmine over her actions and general desire to distance himself from her and all elements of his old life for his own well-being is also understandable. | |

Driven to Suicide: Jasmine's husband Hal hanged himself while in prison. Jasmine doesn't want to talk about it but when pushed, ends up going into a lot of detail about how hanging kills you by neck snap, not suffocation as most people think. Her listeners, who include her two young nephews at one point, are disturbed, to say the least. | |

Idiot Ball: A wife with any intelligence dealing with a philandering husband whom they know is engaged in investment fraud could have used the blackmail threat of informing the FBI for the best divorce settlement she could get. Instead, she calls the Feds in a blind rage and thus the whole family is ruined. Her lying through her teeth to Dwight about her history. Even if they hadn't run into Augie, did she really think he would never find out the truth eventually, as he himself says? Hal himself, who clearly expected Jasmine to simply accept his leaving her for an 18-year old and never considered that she would take revenge. | |

| Blue Jasmine / int_7a1856ba | comment |
I Reject Your Reality: Jasmine has trouble fully accepting her new circumstances, often lapsing into full on delusions where she is still wealthy and enjoying the high life. By the end, she's become completely detached from reality as a whole. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Blue Jasmine / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Fed up with Jasmine's attitude, Ginger finally tells her off—when Jasmine denounces her lifestyle and her habit of picking "losers", Ginger angrily declares, "I'm living like this because you married the biggest loser of all!", referring to Hal ripping off her and Augie. | |

What Does She See in Him? | |
| Blue Jasmine / int_7de3aec2 | comment |
What Does She See in Him?: Jasmine has a low opinion of both her sister's fiance and her ex-husband and frequently tells her that she could have done better. While it's partly because she feels that Ginger deserves better than "losers," she also seems to be embarrassed associating with her type. | |

Establishing Character Moment: The first thing we see Jasmine doing is talking at length about herself to a female companion, only for it to be revealed the other person is a total stranger who had the misfortune to sit by her on a plane. She also flies first class and still has her expensive suit and luggage despite later insisting she's completely broke. | |

Anachronic Order: The movie interweaves scenes from Jasmine's post-divorce life with flashbacks to Jasmine's married life. Interestingly, it seems Jasmine is actually experiencing the flashbacks too, since they are triggered by something she hears (like "the French girl") and when we cut back we find her talking to herself as if she is still reliving the memory. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Jasmine clearly didn't regarding calling the feds about Hal's shady business dealings, given how poorly she's handled all the horrible ramifications. Also, Jasmine hides her past from Dwight. Even if Augie hadn't turned up, a Google search turning up her picture alongside her ex would have done the job. And even if not, as Dwight himself says, he was bound to find out eventually anyway. | |

Even if it was a bad move, It's no wonder that Jasmine reacted in the matter she did, considering her mental instability.

Comically Missing the Point: At the end of the opening sequence, as Jasmine's seatmate hurries away, Jasmine cheerfully bids her farewell, suggesting that they have lunch sometime, completely oblivious to the fact that the woman clearly just wants to get the hell away from her, even calling out, "Wait! I don't have your number!" After she and Dwight run into Augie, she tries to steer Dwight into the jewelry store as if if nothing has happened. Dwight's reaction is basically "You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!". Hal and Jasmine's breakup isn't meant to be funny, but one almost has to laugh at how blithely he declares he's going to leave her for a teenager and how "we're making plans for the future", as if there's nothing wrong with this. Even Jasmine herself laughs at one point, amazed at how sincerely he believes in the idiotic things he's saying. | |
