Tragedy comes from endless desire

Money is the root of all evil, maybe, but not necessarily.
desire! The father is weak and incompetent, but he loves him and looks forward to family harmony and children’s happiness; his mother is strong and aggressive, aggressive, and full of business ethics, but she loves her husband, she loves the family, and no matter how harsh she is, she only hates iron and steel. . Two sons, one is addicted to gambling, the other likes to play B, such a family, such an ordinary life, in the plainness of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, Woody Allen used his never-smoked brush to shoot for 30 minutes.
The storm is rising! For money, for life, for women, for ~~~~ for everything, but never for this family. The film uses such a low-key approach to tell the stars of the society at that time, immature children, hard-working parents, the people at the bottom are struggling in their lives painfully, everything, so when the last two ordinary people stepped into the murder We were not surprised when we were on the road.
It can be said that the film has never been a sudden turn of waves, as in "Midnight Barcelona" and "The End of the Game", Woody Allen looked on all this with an indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with him or with all the audience. In the film The characters just do what they should do, get what they deserve, lose what they should lose, that's all, so indifferent!
Colin Farrell's restlessness and inner hesitation were vividly expressed. The golden ball actor played this kind of externally strong, decadent and violent role as expected, and the expression on his face was straight to the heart.
The murderer must die! This is the inevitability of black humor. However, this humor is a bit of a joke. We can only guess the beginning, but we cannot and cannot bear to guess the ending.

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."
