"Cassandras Dream" focuses on an ordinary person in London, telling a story about crime and punishment. The title of the film is quite particular, and the director Woody Allen focuses more on the middle class and even the ordinary people. From the subject point of view, the frightening and suspenseful taste of the film has diminished a lot. Although there is murder, there is no trace of blood and violence. The overall narration of the film is very smooth and natural. All the waves are hidden in the seemingly plain and unsurprising, but the message conveyed by the story is very intriguing. The film is clean and neat in the use of the lens, the composition of the picture is stable and beautiful, and it maintains Woody Allen's consistently high standard. The linguistic and restful processing leaves the audience with a lot of room for thinking. The performances of Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell in the film are commendable, especially Colin Farrell's cowardly and confused interpretation of Terry's body

Father: Nobody wants to be selfish, but everybody is.

Mother: Everybody predicted great things for Ian. He's so nice looking and personable. Now, it's a mystery to me why he's not more successful.
Father: Because he's not content with what he has. He sees himself like Howard, with a fancy life. Always got some scheme. Always waiting for his ship to come in.
Mother: Well, his ship won't come in at the restaurant. He does that out of a son's love for his father.
Father: Like the poet said, "The only ship certain to come in has black sails."
