Cassandra's Dream- Woody Allen

Cassandra's Dream is a film directed by Woody Allen, an american director which is one of my favourite. It was released on 2007.
The film is about two brothers, whose names were Ian and Terry. In spite of having a lot of economic problems, they bought a second-handed sailboat, which they called Cassandra's Dream.
Ian had big dreams because he wanted to save money to invest in two hotels of California; while the other brother, Terry, was an alcoholic gambler addicted in pills and mechanic. The problems with the economy didn't stop but with the arrival of their uncle Howard, it seemed that the situation would improve a little bit. The two brothers saw the chance to borrow they money they needed to quit the debt and to invest in the hotel. However, the help of Howard wasn't free. The price of a good life for them was to commit a crime with unexpected consequences. Their uncle Howard asked them to get rid of his former associated Martin Burns.
At the end of the film, unfortunately, the two brothers were killed.
In my opinion this film is not the best from Woody Allen's films. I don't really like it because I think that what the two brothers did, was not so good. 
On the one hand, one of them was an alcoholic gambler which means that he lost his money because he was addicted to games and I think that if he wouldn't do that, they surely could buy their second-handed sailboat without problems and they probably  wouldn't have debts so the experience that their uncle Howard made them do would not have occurred.
On the other hand, Ian could avoid the situation. He could try to change his brother according to the addiction to the games that he had. 
As I see it, the end of the film is very dramatic and tragic because it finish with the death of the two brothers, Ian and Terry, who were the protagonists of the film. Personally, I would change the end of the film because it is very shocked.
However, I also believe that Cassandra's Dream is a original film because there aren't many movies that are about this topic. In my opinion, the actors are very good and they make their script very well.
To conclude, I prefer others Woody Allen's films but I recommend Cassandra's Dreams because I'm sure that many people would like it in spite of my personal opinion.http://pics.filmaffinity.com/El_sueno_de_Casandra-827913778-large.jpg
