he met me at a party in swept me off my feet
fell in love with the name Jasmine hi what on what the flick we're here to
talk about the
annual Woody Allen movie cuz there is one every year this one's really good
though is the Jasmine I'm Cristiano
Matt graze gonna hang out with that as you said I
at on don't have and I stuck at hosting this thing today
figure 3 I'm thats then make let's
I know you for I'm graze gonna hang out with us for a bit
and I'm what that means they describe the job you
wanna buy when I'll take away from Blue Jays among many other things is that I
was
will be sought at the Academy went we had fun last night at the academy
screening and it was packed or sitting in the back I really
had to p and I left
to pee and I was very close and I was able to get back and I came back
with about 22 seconds left in the movie I got grow
I think I'll probably probably commit I just I just was they get was thinking oh
my god I got a gaza-bound I don't want the last 50 minutes and I come back
a sedan and nothing happened at the end and then a movie in the credits roll
everyone
yeah I like an hour and a half and i know i I
I feel like a fool so that's what it's about bigler
blue chest with up this is the the
story %uh Veiga here it says I'm to be a life crisis causes a woman to head to
San Francisco where she reconnects with her sister I'm
that is what I just how I don't know if that does happen I
what's interesting about this is that the Cate Blanchett plays the woman who
reconnects with her sister in San Francisco
I a and a I'm not entirely sure that this is like
many other Woody Allen movies because although people laughed and there are
moments when it's funny
it's not really a comedy and Cate Blanchett carries this cell whole movie
that is set both in the present time in San Francisco
meeting up with her sister Sally Hawkins and looking back at her marriage to a
bernie made of type character if anyone wanted to sleep
with Bernie Madoff yeah that Alec Baldwin have a look
no husband was a slick operator I was there week I knew that I was hitting on
a girl friend I can't you choose losers because that's what you think it is
there from that's why you'll never have a better life
here terrifying she's a phony you please not fight in here too we can continue
for some reason is an excellent kicking in this is an emotionally difficult
movie to watch
many times Cate Blanchett is going through an enormous grieve
emotional pain by the fact that her husband cheated people at all this money
and cheated on her
I and she's like talking to herself in the street
and she's not are appealing character at all she's a
bad bad person yeah small band and I standing here
yet a testament to both woody allen
and Cate Blanchett a significant estimates to them because and tell you
hear from that you would have known either them or talent at all on pink
over here right
what's amazing is that they take this character who is does not is
there's no redeeming qualities here at any point even when you think there's
about to be one and year
inexplicably rooting for the entire movie
silly I was damaged in so fragile you can help with false I for her you know
she's had a breakdown the you also witnessed
the remnants of that as the film goes on and she just fine so much complexity
in this plea of a purse United it's no coincidence the blanchard
recently played when she walked on broadway a streetcar named desire
it's weird how much streetcar named desire there is in this movie the whole
let's go live with the sister she's got a British boyfriend there's a guy who's
gonna date or who may be my rescuer from all this
she's losing her grip it that was in our choice I thought but but for the most
part you know it it's such a great performance
and in the yeltsin signals compellingly told story in an
who portrayed character the that are we working that hard
I don't think it is an end you know I was talking today about this because
usually with Woody Allen you either know that it's you're in for a comedy or it's
going to be
you know another woman or interiors or are you know September words can be very
dour and this is not a comedy
and this one for to operate in a different mode Annu they've mentioned
I'm
crimes misdemeanors which is kinda but I said yeah but you don't laugh at the end
of the Houston scenes you laugh at the
Alan all the scenes and because woody allen has made
so many characters in the past that are kind of flattery
New York neurotic women the instinct when we first get to know Cate Blanchett
is to laugh because ok clearly this is like
is this a role I don't keep you were played once or something in the euro
zone in no way this is not
this is not funny this is this is that more this is a tragedy this is a woman
who was
literally falling apart in front of our eyes yeah its um
it's really delicate the way she easement unflattering erotic this and
delicacy to it as well
I did laugh a lot we all laugh my now live comes from his reporting money
characters on I think be at the Bobby Cannavale livestock
is kinda wacky in kinda ride by some laps come from that
lol so how is the how's the dice man he is he's really good and really nice guy
like
Dice Clay in a Woody Allen movie and it was already been as what has really good
he's a really good character actor attorneys
do a lot to turn yeah I really good he could work for twenty years that no
absolutely no I would I would love to see him pursue this angle of his career
he might feelings I've ever get the only
truly real person in this right the most most grounded
Conair in theory if actual person where they are
exotic dancers lol good thing I guess so
the thing is what your own doesn't really understand the working class
you know he i mean is weird to see this movie where the rich people were all
such
monsters assholes because he's lived in this very rare fight Upper West Side
world for decades now
to be said I don't know because you were doing crimes we were all have
bad haircuts he dresses them badly you know
worse for something could tell it harkens perfectly lovely San Francisco
apartment which is
granted over a Tacori or whatever but I'll be on that spacious and light
is rose with a horrible haha oh yeah I know I'm like that's right miss any
the wrong things affordable based on her salary on the right now
with other but %uh there's a broker's trying to get that apartment ever
discuss how the living in colour something
so I you know that there's that element of just kind of the 20 little bit of
condescension even with the interesting characters the the Sally Hawkins is
playing
at the the despair kinda rubbed me the wrong way little and
no good I agree with that I think that'd save the little bit because
because while the circumstances a it serve the
the idea Sally Hawkins is is a little condescending but she herself
is sure amo and I mean she herself but I mean the character is now that we have
as sorta and and then also Louis CK who does a
really nice turn real acting turn I
like again also regular working-class guy that seemed totally normal
but I he added that he doesn't quite get I think empty apartment is
it's like a major mistake Yahoo at that big it's really lovely
compared to keep wages expectations of what living is supposed to be
real easy has an opulent home the Hampden right I know why she's freaking
out about it but I but I believe you can tell when Woody Allen
thinks that it is one in a way I mean I don't know it may be that maybe it's
just us to make a pledge everything about it we're supposed to think
actually it's quite nice there
there is also a conversation about
we know where all becomes clear that at all bowlers that'll cheating on her but
has been cheating on her with
a younger much younger woman whose foreign
you know what our hustle will orbit have a moment of impact on
yeah I was stunned by that the there's one of the women is
she's a teenager yeah where help air
and and and then that's the actual scene where we see
Cate Blanchett breakdown and really freak out in a way that I imagined
ninety-five percent all women in that situation would freak out I don't think
it's
and you're saying this can't be happening shaking or persons a really
powerful really good seem
and I just to kind of imagined that that's may be in the ballpark
love what happened what we went through and so
I don't know I thought that was a I threw I get
barrel with this makes me a terrible guy I think that's rather bold way our
to put that scene in this movie maybe just a little disappointed in his radio
address that
honestly who knows it or do I i want to serve as their that was there all the
time row
okay we're gonna go here then I am I i think ultimately though I i think what
is usually powerful owners at their love great performances in it
the the question and tone though is is inescapable for me because um
it we talk about you know my the this is outside the sample one forgiven ever
over director bring in their own sorta baggage where the end of the film when
when Clint Eastwood arms up and shoot everybody's was the tragic and you know
the characters
past redemption but are on another level it's Clint Eastwood with the gun
shooting people right
you know and so IMU in a Woody Allen movie when when you have the cable into
character
being the sort of like you know of all guy
you know oblivious you know my talking a mile a minute and then being super
vacuous whenever
you are Greg ready to expect that to be a comedic character and it takes a while
to kind of figure out on a No
this is meant to be a tragedy and and and maybe is the audience that we were
with they kept laughing pretty much throughout which I found
sorta we're like they were are they were on board religious assume it'll be funny
I don't know
wistful humor now and I i think he probably has this person function as a
very familiar figure to us the way alan world
to then completely up in your expectation the maker that much more
flooding tragic like every
it's meant to be that much more obvious shocking transition perhaps to us to
watch
one thing that i think is particularly noteworthy about her performances that
is that she she said she's vacuous and she is
a empty and she has no sense of the impact that she
or her ilk have had the impact they make on other people
she's oblivious to her role in the world
yet she could be and she conveys that consistently
she's not you can't just pointer and laughed because then it turns out
she is interested in important things and she does
just give these little glimpses here there when she almost has a relationship
maybe does have a relationship with Peter Sarsgaard
the you feel like it's legitimate she is making a connection
so I don't know I just thought that in that she could have played a type of
character and she ended up playing a complete
real person well something that makes a a character like that
tolerable is that help yeah and so the fact that that showing up in a Woody
Allen movies actually pretty amazing because recently I think that he's
really been missing that exact thing that's my travel with his most recent
movies
yeah there's a there's a lot of even if she never even if she never
you she never fulfills that help like you see
there she got you in the day after day there are moments where you like please
be normal here because I see it I see it in your eyes I see in the way you react
a little thing hot got that just keeps you going to go home lol
shot so sad so poignant and we should do numbers please friends think very
quickly I
you to address the year's gonna go but I would there's no question this would be
the kind of performance that was get talked about
owner of yeah so I'm on the rally
7.8 and I don't think maybe the solo but you know if I change your mind later all
you'll be the first and do some after SK go ahead then I
way I mean play seven so I'm just a point for and it's also
eighty-four percent mami ourselves as New York in LA this weekend
we just mentioned orbits but im selling organs was grain train is so great Alec
Baldwin
do you know just think he can do these movies manage credit analyst at work is
good my
yeah Alden Ehrenreich and as I can be seen again that's really good and yes
our starters great you're all I'm
their bodies really good now to go see it
