Blue Jasmine
Because Woody Allen doesn't get into motivation or background of a character when he's directing actors, Cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins got together and invented the background for the sisters' relationship. So every scene when they talked about their past, although it's vague on the script and for the viewer, they both knew exactly what the sisters are talking about.,When Ginger, Jasmine, Chili and Eddie are at the clams restaurant, Eddie asks Jasmine what would she be if she had finished her education. She answers, "An anthropologist". Eddie ignorantly asks, "Really, digging up fossils?" Jasmine replies mockingly: "That's an archaeologist". She is wrong. The correct answer would be, "That's a paleontologist". Jasmine is belittling Eddie for his ignorance, but she is in fact displaying ignorance herself.,Matthew: Mom said you used to be okay, but you got crazy.
Johnny: Yeah, and then you talked to yourself.
Jasmine: Well, there's only so many traumas a person can withstand until they take to the streets and start screaming.,Featured in The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Episode #21.188 (2013),Back O'Town Blues

Under license from Universal Music Enterprises,What a treat! Cate Blanchett gives a stunning performance as a Blanche-like character written and directed by the most prolific American author of the last 40 years. Cate seems to be an actress without emotional borders. Jasmine walks a very tight rope, her sense of despair etched in her magnificent face vanishes ipso facto when she meets Peter Sarsgaard. She realizes in a sort of disbelief -extraordinary, heartbreaking and horribly funny moment - that he could be the rescue raft in her own personal tsunami. Sally Hawkins, another stroke of genius in the casting department, is a profoundly human creature very much the Stella of the situation. This two sisters, adopted both from different parents are also from different, if immediately recognizable, universes. I could go on and on but I'm not going to, I just wanted to urge you, in this times of 3D super extra loud marvel sequels, to run and see it.,
