babble a few words

After reading it in 3 days, the side reaction is rather dull.
Digression, compared to the "the bank job" I watched on the first day, it was more refreshing.
Colin Farrell's acting is better than Ivan, I think. The Terry played is simply a gambler + a fool.

I believe the ending scene where the two women whose husbands/boyfriends are dead is picking clothes is purely sentimental, but I was already emotionally exhausted in front of the screen at that time - it was actually old Allen's lack of skill, I think.

Ivan would kill for his uncle, it always felt a little far-fetched. Besides, he is in love with her, is it impossible?
The plot feels unreasonable.

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."
