《卡珊德拉之梦

**评论间接揭示了电影的整体结果**我一直认为艾伦是亲密的库布里克。每个人都很快就会对两位电影制作人做出评价，而影评人对他们的电影往往各执一词。我总是惊讶于人们对伍迪·艾伦作品的愤怒，好像每个人都希望他的电影有某种方式;为了传递某种“东西”，他们不再像过去那样得到了。当然，对于像艾伦这样高产的人来说，并不是所有的电影都能成为杰作。希区柯克的“完美”电影当然屈指可数。我甚至可以说，《惊魂记》有严重的缺陷，但却因为其中惊人的部分而被无休止地奉为经典。然后《狂乱》出现了，它是黑暗的、心理的、令人不安的，完全背离了导演的风格。它被影评人团体认为是一部“次要的”或“次要的”作品而拒绝，只是在多年后重新出现，被重新定义为一部被低估的经典。人们会这样评价希区柯克吗?他在所有的电影中都在重复同样的谋杀主题?” Kubrick's "2001," my personal favorite, was slammed by many critics in its time. In fact, throughout his career, Kubrick was endlessly accused of recycling his themes in every picture. Let's not forget "Citzen Kane" and the career of Orson Welles so brutalized in it's time, only to now reveal its genius. In the end, I think everyone's got it wrong with "Cassandra's Dream." Allen's films are ultimately, like Shakespeare, somewhat philosophical and are 'about' murder, morality, fear, and the human predicament, and self- consciously display the classic elements of tragedy. They are not mere entertainment. Why does no one mention the brilliance and sad lyricism of just the opening shot alone? Two innocent boys running side by side, naturalistic-ally framed within a dark, gloomy universe.. I felt the Philip Glass score was perfect for the film in establishing a classic tragic tone to cast the boys into.. It's composed just right for a Woody Allen film, despite what critics have said. The first dialogue reveals that the boys cannot afford their boat and plan to name it after a winning dog at the racetrack.. My, how we all hope for the winning hand to make us more than we are.. Yes, why can't we be happy with what we have? Notice the composition of each shot.. The colors... The chaos in the backgrounds. The faces of fear in the blue light when hiding behind the doorway... The loss of humanity in Ian.. The gaining of it in the sweet face of Terry... Ahh, the empty material dreams of us all... Yes, Woody Allen has done a murder story before, but he certainly has not told this one. It was very unique and true to these darker times. There are so many murders in the real world every day and so many seen in the movies... Here, we are taken through the depths of only ONE... One only witnessed in our minds eye and felt in our emotions. Much to reflect upon when the closing credits roll: All we are, all we are raised to be, all we hope to gain, what we will do to survive, all we may lose, all we learn... Fate... Chance... A mighty king comes with a wicked deed... Innocence lost... Brotherly love torn apart...Wisdom at great cost. I say, it was great. Carry on, Mr. Allen, with all due respect....
