BLUE JASMIN

This is not like a movie review. But, will have to say that Woody Allen's latest movie is terrific. Kate Blanchett will definite get an Academy Awards Nomination. Every character is terrific. My favorite is Bobby Canavale. He plays a blue collar type from Brooklyn. Great. The basic story is a little of a take off on Bernie Madorf. A reverse rags to riches story as a riches to rags. The Kate Blanchett character is essentially off her "rocker" and comes to live with the low self esteem sister.

The movie is simple an example of our culture--a movie about life. Everybody has a story. I love movies for the reason that they give us a chance to see and talk about our story. I'll be discussing it for some time--this is how you know a movie is good.
