“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.
