Cassandra´s Dream

Cassandra´s Dream, film by Woody Allen, tells the story of two brothers. Ian and Terry, who live in a medium social standard, but have high expectations to fulfill. In Ian´s case, his dream is running a hotels company in California. Terry wants to open a sports shop. But their echonomical situation is not good for their ambitions, and Terry´s addiction to gumble just gets make things worse. They buy a second hand boat, Cassandra´s Dream, which seemed to make their lifes a bit happier.
Unexpected happens, and their uncle Howard cames up  offering his help, but not for free. He asks his nephews to help him with a little "problem". He wants them to help him to get rid of his associate, Mr. Burns, who could put uncle Howard in prison.
This favour will put Ian and Terry´s moral and mental strongness to the limit, and make them think about the price of fulfilling their dreams.
I must say that I have not seen much Woody Allen´s filmography, but I would say that this is not one of his bests productions. But still I enjoyed the film. It made me think about what I would do to reach my goals and ambitions, but the thing that really stayed in my mind for some days was the remorse feeling after killing someone. I wondered about how intense the mental fight to not think about it should have been, and the nightmares are the worst part. I don´t think I´d be able to stand it, it´s a great weight on your back. At least, Ian also did it because he loved his girlfriend and wanted the best for her, but still it isn´t a excuse.
