Watch the third installment of WOODY ALLEN's London Murder Trilogy <>, it feels like there are always young male workers in the social news section of the newspaper in the 1980s, in order to pursue high-priced girls or indulge in Fangcheng, gambling debts are high, and finally take the risk, not hesitate to embark on the criminal path of murder and murder, and make a mistake Hate for thousands of years, go further and further on the road of crime, and finally harm others and harm yourself. As a result, the kind of readers who hide the volume after reading, the alarm bell still ringing in their ears, ""Greedy to kill can't be remembered, it's too late to regret it"!!!" This kind of jingle escorts you out like a nightmare. Cinema. Except for the ending, the film is all good-looking. The narrative rhythm, the use of camera shots, and the flow of lines all show the tension, urgency, and restraint that a smart murder film should have. It is the ending. When I said it, it made the ending without suspense look very suspenseful.

However, Colin Farrell's brother, who is like a bereaved dog, is very good, and Ewan McGregor's handsome appearance, just like the bedside book in MATCH POINT is a copy of "Crime and Punishment" Jonathan Rhys Meyers, another Raskolnikov-esque character , that is, to believe that "in order to realize their ideals, it is necessary for people to step over corpses and pools of blood" (WOODY ALLEN was deeply influenced by Dostoevsky, and even felt that the London Murder Trilogy
was just to pass After his addiction to interpreting crime and punishment) handsome, ruthless, greedy, lustful, vain, with a heart of stone in his heart, in order to achieve the goal of climbing up, he would not hesitate to eradicate everyone except himself, and always be free for his own evil thoughts Find a reason to justify it and not be ashamed of it. It's a pity that his luck is not as good as the 1% of the guys in MATCH POINT.

Cassandra's Dream quotes

  • 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."
