Cassandra's Dream

In connection with the recent Allen-directed Unreasonable, both films are about crime and punishment. The end point is the same, but that is more interesting. Virtue and happiness are never necessarily in harmony. Aristotle is a happy person, but not a happy person. In fact, not necessarily. Many people are still rich and powerful, and they live very casually. , the virtuous are poor and uninteresting. In the process of their pursuit of happiness, there will inevitably be a conflict between happiness and virtue.
The two brothers in this movie, one has a little conscience, the other is ruthless. The former is a sentimental person and a gambler. In fact, he is very timid at heart. At the critical moment, he still retains the most basic emotion of human nature: guilt. One is very rational, so rational that he can kill two people in a row for love, but unfortunately he still can't pass the brother's hurdle in the end. He is a measured, so-called refined egoist. The two brothers are actually not bad, but under the guidance of ambition and the provocation of fate, they eventually died.
It is a pity that their lover is completely absent. The two women are the source of their ambition. They are fighting so hard just for love, in order to make women happy. They are the culprits, the source of happiness, and the source of evil. When they were most helpless, they couldn't talk to their lover. They were not male and female, but brothers and sisters. Lovers think of eating, drinking, and having fun, not the pain of life.
Professor Murderer in Unreasonable People is also a rational experimentalist. In order to kill, he can do all kinds of evil, kill people, challenge morality, and make his life meaningful. He is different from the two brothers at the bottom. They want to return to a normal life, and the professor, who is completely ineffective in normal life, just wants some stimulation, such as killing people. He's the kind of person who's obsessed with crime, the real natural born killer, the Tiger and Leopard Bully, Bonnie and Clyde, the opposite of the chivalrous, the villain.
Consandra was the one who prophesied and no one listened, and he was able to bring good luck to those who listened and good luck to those who didn't stop.

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."
