Blue Jasmine
BAFTAS was shining than ever with many awards
By GalaTView staff
It’s always nice to see awards being spread across more than one film. Gravity is a fine film (stunning in 3D), and the obvious choice for technical awards and Gravity’s Alfonso Cuaron was named best director and Chiwetel Ejiofor won best actor for 12 Years a Slave won the coveted best film honour. British star Chiwetel Ejiofor collected the best actor Bafta for his role as Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave. Cate Blanchett was named best actress for Blue Jasmine.
BAFTAS over all are ok, but should be a little more humble in times of austerity and some people were seriously impressed since the last year with this important event.
Blue Jasmine will mark your perception in life

“Blue Jasmine” is a depressing drama in which a life crisis causes a woman to head to San Francisco, where she reconnects with her adoptive sister. She is self-delusion after an affair of her husband and the writer-director’s film-per-year fertility with original screenplays is unrivaled and enormously impressive, but “Blue Jasmine”, in tone and execution, is a Woody Allen film to the core and reflects the times we are living in. Jasmine is a character that many people may not like but Blanchett’s performance along with the rest of the cast transcends easy judgement. The sisters class differences are explained by a turning point in their adolescences: Ginger was less liked by their adoptive mother, and ran away at an early age, eking out her own living. Jasmine’s M.O. is that she’ll begin a seemingly innocuous story — necessarily about her past life. This fill is full of flash backs and definitely it is a charming story with a fairy-tale quality.
