The ending of the London Fate Trilogy-"Cassandra's Dream"

"Cassandra's Dream" is the end of Woody Allen's London trilogy. After being screened in Cannes and the United States and not receiving much acclaim, he moved to Spain. This year's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is also promising. I recommend. The unsuccessful aspect of "Kassandra's Dream" is that Woody Allen did not continue the usual middle-class style, but turned to the relatively low-level civilians, but this field could not use his intellectual accent and ironic humor. On the contrary, he tried his best to cooperate with the script of the lines written by the bottom, but it seemed out of place. For example, the brother of the car repairer played by Colin, the ruffian, was full of mouths without a Fxxx word, which made the British audience and I quite unacceptable. But apart from this awkwardness, the movie itself continues the classic and traditional themes of fate change and crime and murder by Woody Allen in these trilogy, and has a somewhat heartwarming ending.

In fact, looking at the three movies, the murderers who changed their fate in "Match Point" escaped the punishment of the law because of their luck. Terry was tortured because of his inner guilt. Ian also broke the bottle due to brotherhood at the last moment of drug application, but the ending is still Woody Allen's cold-eyed accident, which stopped abruptly, but Thinking about it, everything is reasonable. Without the fluke in "Match Point" and the banter in "Scoop News", the rest of "Kassandra's Dream" is more bitterness and helplessness. The police judge the brothers indifferently at the dock where the dream ship is docked. When the two died, the women they loved and the women who loved them were looking forward to a bright future, and the coldness of the black screen indicated that this was the price of making an inappropriate choice and crossing that boundary.

My brothers, Ewan and Colin, are actually quite convincing. They have similar hairstyles and heights, one "white collar" and one "blue collar", one lecherous and one good gambler, and the other is clever and has no bottom line. The interests are supreme but the brothers are finally taken into consideration. The brother Ian of love, a stubborn younger brother Terry who has brute force and impulsiveness but has a conscience, seems to be the incarnation of Ewan and Colin, Ewan's eyes are sly, and Colin is 8:20. The stern look of the eyebrows made me laugh, and it also added a lot of joy to the movie.

Originally a small boat that was supposed to be the brothers happily playing, but in the end it became the burial place of the two, which really makes people feel that human nature is sinister and fate is impermanent. Continuing the trilogy, Woody Allen still adopted a classical narrative and soundtrack, which was quite satisfactory. After watching a lot of new movies that tried to promote his own humanity and morality, he returned to a master with accumulated time and experience. It is also unique. In fact, Jiang is still Old spicy.

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."
