's film, in a sense, reveals the complexity and danger of various interpersonal relationships in the world Sexual
Van Damien: Woody Allen's "The Cassandra Dream" is one of his "London trilogy", the other two are "Match Point" and "Scoop". "Kassandra's Dream" is the name of one of the yachts in the film. The location of the story was shifted from New York to London, that is, he wrote the story of a modern Englishman who took place in London. This film is tragic. Murder for money can be said to be a typical "killing for money", and the murder even happened directly between the two brothers. The film sets the progressive mechanism of the plot from one link to the next, and finally makes people feel that the result is both unexpected and reasonable - it makes the original "ideal" goal of the protagonist become a terrible event. nightmare. In a certain sense, this film reveals the complexity and danger of various interpersonal relationships in the world, and its lessons should be here.
The story of the United Kingdom that the American director went to shoot in the United Kingdom was expressed in a very realistic way
: Woody Allen, as the American director, went to the United Kingdom to shoot the story of the United Kingdom, which is actually very difficult. On the contrary, if we Hangzhou people come to play the Hangzhou people's affairs, it will always be easier to handle. In the film, Woody did not shoot many iconic London attractions, but filmed the lives of lower-class people, expressing their lives very realistically. The actors who played the two brothers turned out to be accomplished actors.
Van Damien: The main attraction we can see in the film is that London bridge. Ewan McGregor, who plays the leading role in "Trainspotting", plays his brother Ewan.
Yang Yuehui: Not all cases can be solved in the end. There are many unavoidable things in life. If the mothers of the two brothers could help the two sons in time, they would not have resorted to their uncles for help and committed murder. People always face various difficulties in reality, and Woody's film uses a very realistic approach to express it.
Fan Daming: Uncle's subtitle in the film is "Uncle" - from the film, he is obviously a relative of his mother and should be translated as "Uncle". Uncle and uncle are written as uncle in English.
He Ji: I think the director's handling is too real, writing about how they kill people, etc., which may have a certain negative effect on our teenagers.
Woody will stand far away and look at this matter with a very calm eye, and the ending has a great irony meaning
Niu Yuzhu: We watch two people fighting, and different people will have different opinions. Woody would stand far away and look at it with a very calm eye. Unlike many domestic films, he tells you from a very close perspective: this is right, that is wrong, and so on.
Fan Daming: In this film, Woody watched from the sidelines and let his protagonists slide down step by step, because they killed people, and they must not have a good ending in the end. It might be some kind of "fate" -- the title of the movie on the DVD I've kept is "Fate Tie-Off." What your destiny is depends on whether you have original sin - if you have original sin, your "destiny" will inevitably exceed the "decision point", and eventually disaster will come. For his so-called "dream", for his and his younger brother's murders, Ivan "does not do it, never stops", and even kills his own brother, which ends up ruining his own life. This ending is very ironic.
The living continue to suffer mentally; the dead are relieved.
Jin Aiwu: The restlessness of the younger brother Terry was a discovery of his own conscience, but it affected the originally calm Ivan, which prompted the older brother to kill his younger brother. But it turned out that Terry was still alive and continued to suffer mentally; Ivan died unexpectedly, but he was relieved.
Someone you meet in one's life may really change his life.
Cai Ling: Watching art films here has a good atmosphere, especially the discussion after watching the film. Everyone's interpretation of the film from different angles is very useful. , benefit a lot. The older brother Ivan in this movie started a restaurant with his father. After he fell in love with a girlfriend who wanted to be an actor, he had higher requirements for life. If he wanted to make more money, he needed money to invest in a hotel. The younger brother Terry and his girlfriend are prone to gambling and need money for loan sharks. The brothers embark on the road of crime for the money. We imagine that if the brothers both fell in love with a serene girl, perhaps there would not be such a strong desire for money, and there would not be the current ending. However, people at all levels have the desire to pursue a prosperous life. Whoever encounters a person in his life may really change his life.
Fan Daming: Angela, the girl Ivan pursued in the show, is mentally higher than him. It is rare for him to have the opportunity to approach such a girl, so he must hold her tightly, including spending money on her. money.
The master's handwriting: The ending was unexpected. The collision of the two brothers' limbs is a concrete manifestation of psychological torture.
Cai Ling: Woody has many movies that show "sin". The "Match Point" I have watched is like this, and often the perpetrators of the crime Can get away with impunity, only tormented by the mind, and this film is an exception. The ending of the film is unexpected but reasonable. Terry can't stand the psychological torture and almost collapses. Ivan is calm on the surface. In order to cover up Terry's out-of-control performance, he triggers even greater fear. Awakening, the strong collision of the two brothers' limbs is actually a concrete manifestation of psychological torture. After the unexpected ending, the film came to an abrupt end, showing the master's handwriting.
