CASSANDRA'S DREAM


Cassandra's dream is a story about two brothers who are desperate to better their troubled lives. Despite its economic difficulties, both take on a second hand sailboat called "Cassandra's Dream" with the idea of sail at the weekends. Terry is a chronic gambler in debt over his head, and Ian is a young man in love with a beautiful actress he has recently met. Terry's weakness for gambling will cause both to merge into a delicate financial situation. The appearance of their uncle Howard that has a past full of economic success will help the brothers . But everything has a price. Howard will force them to violate the law, testing their moral character, and setting off a chain of events that will lead to unexpected consequences. Between vegetation, protected from the rain, covered by a camera spinning around in a sensational level, Howard propose to his desperate nephews commit a crime that will change their lives forever. This is crossing a line. And when they do, everything will be different.

I don't like this film very much because in my opinion it is so tragic and stress but I know it is a very good film, like other films directed by Woody Allen 

Cassandra's Dream

In this film we can see what two brothers can do to get their goals. They were really bad economically speaking, but they could see the solution when their uncle appeared. He was economically a succesful person, so we would agree in helping his nephews but they would have to do illegal things, ending up killing a person. I see this film like showing people what some people are able to do in the way of getting their objectives. I also believe that it makes people think about havinga balance about what you want to get and the risk you can have in order to get this goal. You have to follow your dreams, but you also have to concern yourself and know your limits, the point where you can get to as maximum, and I think that in this film they get over the maximum when they murder a man. It is a film which makes you think, but I don't really like it, I prefer other types of film. I also expected more from Woody Allen.

Inception

Inception is a quite strange but amazing film. I had already seen it, but I wanted to see it again and I had the opportunity. It is about a man cold Cobb, an expert thief. He has a new challenge: to steal in dreams. He is offered to clean his name on his wife's murder by Saito if he works for him. Cobb had to do a new thing: not to steal in a dream, he had to put a new idea, which was to dissolve a new bussines a man has just inherited. They make a great team of experts about dreams and went into the 4th or 5th dream in this man. They could difference the level of dreams because of the colors. At the end, Cobb is free of the charges and turns and object he had to know if it was the real world or a dream. Depending on if it stops or not, he could know it, but at the end he turns it but it ends before we can know if it was really the real world, an open ending. This is a ver original film, completely different to any film I have ever seen. I also think that it is good to see it again because maybe at the first time you can be a little bit confused. To sum up, an excellent movie.

Cassandra's dream

This film shows us the story of two brothers that haven't got money but what they do have is a lot of hope in live. They get in to a mess but their uncle offers a solution in exchange for committing a murder. They are in doubt until the end of the film that from my point of view, is one of the best endings of the films of Woody Allen. At first the film advances very slowly and it's a bit boring but as the film goes progressing it's every time more interesting. 

During the film we see the lifestyle of two men, how the live makes them change their behavior and how they deceive themselves to move forward. 

The issue of the film is really nice. I've saw it like the search of impossible dreams. They could comply their dream if they do something horrible. What are you able to do to achieve your dream?  I believe that when you want something you have to do the maximum possible to get it, but you never have to reach dangerous limits like hurt someone or yourself. 

In conclusion, I recommend this film to people who like dramatic and striking endings. It's an interesting film that makes you think in every day life and in things that you maybe never had thought before,
