dream

It feels like a dream from start to finish. From the beginning of the movie, two young people who can only pay 800 pounds each want to buy a 6,000-pound boat, the name of the dream, the dreamy gambling dog wins, and the dream-like affair, all of which are drawn for the later dark night dream Open the curtain.
In the film, Terry kept repeating "like in a dream", gambling, murder, and all sins were the nightmares that kept him awake later. I can't help myself, I can't extricate myself.
It is in this balance, hesitation, and lack of sobriety that the story continues to develop and appears very real. Although it is not as precise and neat as the professional killer who is portrayed as a hero, it is not so cold-blooded and ritualized. Everyone goes through this struggle many times.
Then the ending came, everything returned to the original point, it was the wake up of the dream, everything was the same, who would know that the outcome of life and death in the dream was staged in turn.
This is how the structure forms a ring.

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."
