Cassandra's Dream Review

Ian And Terry are two brothers who, despite their bad economical situation, acquire a sailing ship named "Cassandra's Dream", hoping to be able tu sail with it on weekends. Unfortunately for them, and  as a result of Terry's gambling addiction, their economical situation get worse. However, before all is over for them, their rich uncle Howard comes to celebrate his birthday with them and their parents,  so they ask him if he could them lend some money, and he accepts, but only under one condition: They have to commit crime and kill a man who could send him to jail.

[SPOILERS START HERE]
I liked the film, to be honest, at least until its ending. The end of the film I would say that it is one of the worst ending I have ever seen. I don't like the way Ian dies, it just doesn't seem like a real death to me. But, apart from this part, the rest it's really good, Woody Allen shows us that he's still a good director.
The parts I like the most are:

  • When Ian looses his temper in the boat, starting to fight with terry and asking him angrily why he is just unable to let them go. I like this part because it shows Ian's real thoughts about his brother, and also because if I were him, I would loose my temper even in a worse manner, because I couldn't be able to kill my brother, I'll just get angry with him and try to convince him of forget about it.
  • When they decide to kill the man. I my uncle told me to kill a guy, I wouldn't know what to do if someone ask me to kill anyone for money, I think that I would have to be too desperate to accept, just like Ian and Terry.
To finish this review, I'd like to say that I kind of identify myself with Terry. If i had to do what they did, I think I would be like him: not able to sleep, be very stressed, having drugs all day... I just couldn't take it, kill a person it's something that goes further than I do.
[SPOILERS END HERE]
