Poll: did you hate Jasmine or feel sorry for her?

Couldn't stand her. Didn't feel sorry for her in the slightest.

i feel sympathy for jasmine because i understand how she feels. to be born wanting more out of life and elevate yourself but with dealt with less than favourable hands.

Well, you can't hate a woman for being a woman, and Jasmine also has mental health problems. I'd be more interested in how people think about Ginger's change of mind while Jasmine is staying at her place.

I felt so *beep* sorry for her, especially at the very last scene when she says "I knew the words. Now they're all a jumble." It made me cry.

Granted, she treated many people in a terrible way, but once you realize how Baldwin's influence changed her and turned her into such a bitch, you feel sorry for her. I think she was once a super-nice person, but Baldwin and his lifestyle changed her completely. Now after the the whole disaster, she realized that she just don't know who she really is anymore. She lives in the past, talks about the good old times, wants to go back to school because back then everything was peaches and cream. Baldwin never gave her any chance to become really independent. Without a man on her side and some kinda upper class lifestyle, she's lost and has no idea where to go and what to do. I think that's just sad.

"My name is Daniel Lugo, and I believe in fitness."

She was broken. The devastation on her face in her last scene was so vivid. Yes, I believed her pain. Fabulous actress.

I felt very sorry for her throughout the movie. She did initially set out on the right path--college courses, getting a job, etc, but caved as the first challenges set in. An elegant classy woman like Jasmine could at the very least have gotten a job in higher-end retail or as a hostess in a fancy restaurant and would've eventually climbed back up in social status, maybe not as high as before but certainly a doctor or lawyer's wife was attainable for her.
