I think that the Allen "formula"(as I came to see it depicted) eventually got to be too predictable in his most current productions and at that point lacked the punch it once did in spite of good performances like Cate Blanchett's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451838183910864405.post-87466822921862878242013-09-26T06:22:40.457-07:002013-09-26T06:22:40.457-07:00Film based on a play "A Street car named desi...Film based on a play "A Street car named desire" that is why it is so powerfull!

The Wall Street trader thugs and their families. The type to kill a Florence Cioffi (DUI vehicular homicide on Water Street) and get off with 16 days in Rikers. $350 fine.<br /><br />Woody Allen pretty much gets it right: the "My Daddy has everything!" at the core of their existence. Materialism isn't the most important thing; it is the only thing.<br /><br />Then this Jasmine character finds a world with nothing but loss and failure. Not even the Madoff deal that protected Ruth Madoff. This screenplay has the husband commit suicide with no deal in place, though thankfully it spares us seeing a son commit suicide by hanging. Tough tale to tell, a brilliant gift to Kate Blanchette.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451838183910864405.post-87070809516608188042013-09-05T16:51:29.075-07:002013-09-05T16:51:29.075-07:00I agree.
