Cassandra is the daughter of the Trojan kings Priam and Hecuba in Greek mythology. The sun god Apollo (Apollo) gave her the ability to predict, but when she turned her back on Apollo, Apollo cursed her, making her predictions never believed. In this film, Cassandra's Dream is the name of the small yacht purchased by the two brothers. Ha ha, has the secret of the secret?
The summary of the story is: "Ian (Ewan McGregor) and Terry (Colin Farrell) are a pair of brothers who live in South London. They grew up in a family with a strong mother and an incompetent father, which makes the two have a unique family outlook. The mother, who can't bear to bear her husband, puts all her expectations on her two sons. Her biggest hope is that one day the two brothers can become successful market hegemons like their uncles and earn a lot of money. After growing up, the two brothers, Ian, the older brother, dreamed of opening a hotel, aiming to be a hotel tycoon, while his younger brother Terry became a gambler because he was unlearned and unskilled. Both need money because of a race dog sign. After gambling and making a fortune, the two brothers first happily bought a luxury yacht, and Ian later used his famous and expensive sports car to get a beautiful woman and enjoy the blessing. However, the windfall came and went quickly. They squandered all of food, drinks, and fun. The two soon fell into financial difficulties. They had no choice but to ask for help from their uncle. How did they know that his uncle was not as smooth sailing as his mother described, but he had troubles, and worse, it was still a problem. It is about to trigger a crisis in the Chengquan family... Therefore, my uncle made a condition: if you want money, you must solve the problem first. And if the problem is to be solved, you have to ask the two brothers to kill! In addition, you have to deal with a bunch of Louzi stabbed by your uncle. …Faced with this unexpected situation, the brothers, who had already had a suspicion for money, began to have ghosts and suspicions on each other…For money, will the two brothers turn each other into enemies? Or the brotherhood that blood is thicker than water will arouse Their conscience? When family affection, love, and money conflict with each other, the family they thought they loved the most may not even be as good as a check..." (quoted from movie.starblvd.net) The
reason is clear, and the retribution is unhappy. This main theme in Eastern Buddhism is now also popular in the Western world. English Karma has become a hot word, and there is a comedy series around it, My Name Is Earl. Maybe there are reasons for everything. If buying a small yacht has fully demonstrated the brothers' greed, vanity and gambling, then the name Cassandra's Dream has heralded their degeneration and even the final tragedy.
Women are as important in this film as Woody Allen's other films. The brothers' love and fear of women originated from their mother's absolute rule at home. Mothers are always relatives to her natal family, and foreigners are no exception. The uncle's wealth and splendor made the brothers' desires appeal, and the beautiful girlfriend was the fuse of Ian's vanity. Does the film set Ian’s beautiful girlfriend as an actor also ironic? If confidantes bring troubles to water, it is not that confidantes also bring troubles to waters. The difference between the two is that the former is passive, while the latter is active. Therefore, the latter is actually much scarier! And Ian actually ran into both, how unfortunate! But who can say that we are not living in a matrilineal society? Even Clinton has to say: "I have to think about it again!". How can I wait for the public to say "no".
The style of Woody Allen's film is like a suspenseful love novel that is casual after a meal. The cover is beautiful and attractive. The plot will not murder the brain cells. You only need to follow the picture (text) with your eyes. Sometimes you get excited, sometimes you sigh. . After reading it, I can remember a general idea, but in retrospect, I found that the story was actually very simple. I was surprised that I watched it for so long. The two handsome guys Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor performed very well. In contrast, Colin Farrell is more eye-catching. Is it closer to the actor in image? In my opinion, Ewan McGregor did not use his housekeeping skills, but the image of a vanity-loving and cruel hypocrite is still in the woods. Woody Allen said in an interview: “I don’t have the patience to rehearse with the actors over and over again...or shoot in this or that way. I’m not a perfectionist. I like to throw a lot of things on the wall and look at something. Stick, which can’t stick. I entered the film and television industry for the most superficial purpose-to meet beautiful women, so I don’t actually go to make movies with my own life.” Anyway, Woody Allen passed the time for us, let us After seeing moving novels, we think and are willing to entertain ourselves in this way sometimes.
