I read several reviews about “Cassandra’s Dream” latest movie by Woody Allen. There wasn’t any good news for Mr. Allen. I expected to see a mediocre movie about life, murder, guilt and choices in life. By the end of the movie I was thrilled again. I am a long time Woody Allen fan and I can’t stop myself of going to see his movies. After movie I thought maybe all the negative reviews that Mr. Allen receives in recent years comes from his personal choices in life and in my opinion it is true that artist’s personal life can effect his/her professional work in some degree.
In any case I always loved his works and I think he is brilliant.
Personally I liked when he was filming his movies in the streets of New York City, his beloved city which recently became mine as well however he seems quite comfortable with London and its culture.

Cassandra’s Dream is set in London England; story is about two working class brothers who are struggling with the daily life. However they have their own life but the two brothers are very close and they see each other in a regular basis during the week or meet on Sunday lunch in their parent’s house and listen to their parent’s argue.
Ian (Ewan McGregor) is the one who has materialistic ideas and likes to climb up the success, get involve with hotel investment and tries to impress her girlfriend who she is an actress.
The other brother Terry (Colin Farrell ) already has a steady girl, Kate and works as a mechanic. He has the habit of gambling and alcohol use. Ian trying to impress more his new girlfriend so borrows money and cars from brother’s shop and will soon discover he is in a big debt as a result of gambling. He wins 30,000 pound in one night but looses all at once the next night plus 60,000 pound.
There is no one to help the brothers but their rich uncle who he is in plastic surgery business and always gets glorifies by his sister (brother’s mother). After speaking with uncle, he promises to help the brothers but asks for a favor in return. One of his business associate will be testifying against him and should be eliminate as soon as possible otherwise he looses everything. The crime itself is very simple nothing imaginative or hard.

But Mr. Allen is mostly interested in building up the pressure and emotional conflict in two brother’s life before the and after the crime. One of the highlight is using the wooden gun that can be destroyed after the crime but destroying the evidence doesn’t mean it has been washed away from the two brothers’s heart or mind.
Terry is the one who get hit the most by the crime and refuge himself in more drugs an alcohol. Ian handles their situation with more confidence maybe he is more aware of the reward. Mr.

Allen in his recent movies “Match Point” and “Cassandra’s Dream” emphasizes in human nature. Nature and energy which is inside us and make us make choices in our life depend on the circumstances. Being said that I am in no position to judge anybody or analyze psychology of human being but maybe all he is trying to show us is how human being can respond in different circumstances in life.
We all have choices in our life and when it comes to making one is finally is us who makes the decision based on the circumstances and finally is us who should suffers or get rewarded from the consequences of the choices. And finally maybe Mr. Allen is trying to say making the decision really shows who we really are.
