卡珊德拉之梦

电影就像他老先生在把他的人生感悟慢慢地讲给你听。

感慨于他老人家有这个实力可以把自己想说的故事拍成电影。

音乐很黑色 对应了terry犯罪之后的惶惶不安 精神行走在崩溃的边缘 这是我看过的Woody Allen的片子最正常的一部 喜剧的成分少了很多 （终于他不是主角了？！

） 悲剧的色彩很浓很重 不过他还是一如既往地在跟我们讲大道理 揭示人性罪恶的角落 想象力不如从前 但是他的风格还是很明显 也是片子可爱的重要因素 因为有伊万——这是关键 所以给了四星 呵呵 这家伙的声音 下巴 发型 甚至走路时手臂摆动的幅度 都让我深深着迷

钱是万恶之源，或许吧，然而未必。

欲望！

父亲软弱无能，但是他慈爱他盼望家庭和睦，子女幸福；母亲强势泼辣，咄咄逼人，市侩风气十足，但是她爱自己的丈夫，她爱这个家庭，对儿子们再严厉也只是恨铁不成钢的气愤。

两个儿子，一个嗜赌，一个爱好装B，这样的家庭，这样平凡的生活，在柴米油盐酱醋茶的平淡中，伍迪艾伦用他永远欠抽的笔触生生拍了30分钟。

风浪渐起！

为了钱，为了生活，为了女人，为了可以为了一切，然而却从来没有为过这个家庭。

片子以如此低调的手法把当时社会的星星点点娓娓道来，不成熟的子女，艰辛的父母，底层人民痛苦的在生活中挣扎，一切一切，所以当最后两个平凡之人走上杀人之路时，我们并不感觉惊讶。

影片可以说一直没有急转直下的波澜，如《午夜巴塞罗那》和《赛末点》那样，伍迪艾伦用一副漠视的表情冷眼旁观这一切，仿佛这一切与他无关抑或与所有观众无关，片中的人物只是做他们该做的，得到他们应得的，失去他们应该失去的，如此而已，如此冷漠！

科林法瑞尔的焦躁不安，内心彷徨表现的淋漓尽致，这位金球影帝演这种外强中干，颓废暴躁的角色果然得心应手，脸上表情直通内心。

杀人者必死！

这是黑色幽默的必然，然而这幽默有些玩笑开大了，我们只能猜到开头，却不能也不忍心猜到这样的结局。

最大的震撼在快结尾处，当伊万在舅舅家的沙发上，阴冷地说出那句“又要杀人了”的时候。

不知道为什么心思一下子被伊万牵引过去，看着已近絮叨和神经质的泰利，沉沉地觉得他死了未必不是好事。

兄弟二人最后一次登上“卡珊德拉之梦”，伊万往泰利的啤酒里倒药粉的时候，忽然感到一阵轻松，一切就要结束了，泰利死去，伊万经营自己的饭店，将父母带离低产生活，与美丽的女演员共度浪漫的余生……可是，忽然电影一百八十度转变，意料之外又是情理之中，伊万摔碎了酒瓶，泰利闻声而来，伊万愤怒之下与泰利大打出手……到这里，结局便清晰了，伍迪·艾伦式的结尾：泰利错手杀死了伊万，然后自杀。

直到字幕升起，才忽然惊醒，忍不住告诉同来的好友，多么可怕，艾伦让我看见了自己的灵魂。

如果说伍迪·艾伦依然在《卡珊德拉之梦》讨论人性的话，至少这部电影像镜子一样照见了我身体里的丑恶。

如果我们依然以“罪与罚”的正义来自我裁决的话。

富有的舅舅掌握着改变两兄弟命运的力量，然而他需要他们以“犯罪”的形式来挽救自己可能遭改变的命运，谋杀的背后即昭示了舅舅财富来源的罪恶。

答应，便是狼狈为奸，就是泯灭自己的良知；不答应，即意味着得以改变命运过上自己渴望生活的机会就要丧失。

作何选择，其实就已经显示了二人灵魂的高度。

如果杀人而能做到干净利落，不落被人发现的证据，为何不去做。

伊万那么爱他的女演员，而他的出身地位的女孩却有着强烈的成功的渴望，要爱她，只能给她她需要的。

在最后安吉拉告诉伊万，她为了伊万拒绝了富有的侯爵之子时，也证明了伊万的决定是对的。

更何况，他也有自己的梦想，他要脱离父母给他画的平庸的生活框框，他要追逐财富，过上舅舅一样的奢华生活。

泰利也一样，他爱他的女友凯特，凯特看上了一栋他们暂且买不起的房子，但他要为她挣到购买房子的钱。

然而，他只是一个修车工，唯一的可能就是他的“好运”，赌博时候的好运。

而泰利的生活就跟他赌博的结局一样，赌徒的命运注定了要输多赢少。

欠下巨债的泰利不但无法让凯特过上好生活，而他的高利贷债主更可能伤害他的爱人……即便泰利是个信仰“上帝”的惩罚的人，总有一刻他听从了心中欲望的指引。

他们胆战心惊地走上了杀戮之路，可一切竟出人意外的顺利。

没有人发现他们杀人的痕迹，警方毫无头绪。

这是一桩完美的谋杀案。

而伊万也获得了舅舅的资助，安吉拉向他表达了自己的爱情，他的酒店投资事业也开始风生水起……如果泰利愿意，他的凯特也能过上他们想要的生活，舅舅会帮他还掉赌债，他们的房子会买下，他们也会有自己的体育器材经营店。

这个时候，连故事之外的我都为他们光明的未来高兴，那个局外人静悄悄地死去，他们过自己想要的生活，一切那么美好。

可是，这种同情是可怕的！

这种针对一方的美好结局是自私的，而这里面还隐藏着一个血淋淋的事实，那就是伊万和泰利可能的美好生活都是建立在“谋杀”犯罪这个前提上的！

这个兄弟俩是通过犯罪来获得改变生活的资本的！

我不知道是不是每个人心中都有一个不择手段获得成功的阴暗信号，反正当我意识到自己竟然对杀人者带着浓厚的同情的时候，我害怕了，恐惧了！

如果有一天我也有了这样的力量，我会不会也去“谋杀”？！

泰利的自我忏悔和赎罪情绪在整个光明的电影里显得那么微弱，连与他最亲近的凯特也将他的“良心”视为一种病症。

在以寻求成功为目的的生活里，良知的声音显得那么弱小。

乃至我这个看电影的局外人都放弃了思考它的可能性。

泰利如果死了呢？

如果真的如舅舅所愿泰利也被自己的亲兄弟伊万杀死了呢？

我不敢想象如果电影以此为结局会怎样。

我可能会为伊万高兴吗？

连他们可恶的舅舅的罪恶也一并抹杀不谈？

所以，某种意义上我感激伍迪·艾伦，他太伟大了，他看透了人性的丑陋，但是他没有让人因此沉沦下去。

他没有让丑恶得逞，当然他也没有像好莱坞一样宣扬“邪不压正”的乌托邦，他只不过尽自己所能，用一场意外拯救了一些旁观者地灵魂。

伊万与泰利的死亡确实令人唏嘘，可是对于“正义”来说这何尝不是最好的结局呢？

真实是残酷的，凌驾于生命权威之上的真正凶手“舅舅”在两个侄子死后更加深了自己生存环境的安全，不出意外，他将如他自己策划的那样，逍遥于对谋杀案的制裁之外。

而失去两个挚爱孩子的父母将充满痛苦，他们的爱是真实深沉的，而正是这种深沉才使得他们死亡变得更有意义。

于他们父母而言，自己的孩子死去可能比被法律审判更高，如果他们还是遵守世俗道德的话。

而泰利爱人凯特的悲哀也必定是真实的。

她对泰利的爱也是深刻的。

安吉拉的将来也不难想象，她会悲伤一段时间，但是她有自己的成功欲望，她会继续走向上的道路。

也许接受导演、编剧的潜规则，也许和侯爵之子结合……一切都有可能。

唯一不可能的是，她会为伊万守人妻之孝。

这里还有一层，就是被兄弟二人杀害的伯恩斯先生。

于伊万和泰利而言，伯恩斯完全是个与他们没有任何交集的路人，但是因为他是他舅舅的敌手，他掌握着可能置他们舅舅于死地的证据，而他们的舅舅则握着这两个侄子的未来……这种间接的关联，使得兄弟俩能忽略人心的善意而直达自私的利益，为了自己的利益夺取一个无关乎自己生活的人的性命，于他们而言不会有悲伤，如果不被查处，也不会有恐惧。

可是，伯恩斯先生那个八十多岁的老母亲呢？

她还在家里等自己的儿子来吃晚饭。

对你而言没有感情交集的人或者事物，你可以为自己的利益去伤害他们，这在你不会带来你心灵的波动。

但是，任何生命都有他自己的轨迹，你不在乎他的生死哀乐，但有人需要他爱他与他生死相依。

这种追问也是律法之外的，是灵魂和信仰上的事情。

最后泰利悔过了，他重新看见了那个“上帝”。

他相信上帝是存在的，其实舅舅逍遥法外，伊万风生水起都严酷地证明了，上帝可能并不会时时都作出正义的裁决。

但是泰利却唤起了他心中的上帝，与其说那上帝是宗教的神灵，不如说是他作为人的“良知”。

没有人审判他，但自己却要审判自己。

泰利死了，他的死是他自我审判的结局，也是昭示给我们这些可能已经步入伊万心路上的旁观者的道理。

伍迪·艾伦最终都没有跳出来审判，他只不过尽了自己最大的努力去呈现了生活的真实、残忍与无奈。

但是，他却给了我们自己一面照见自己灵魂的镜子。

我照见了自己的丑恶，不知道你看见了什么？

期待已久的Woody Allen電影, 終於趕及在繁忙的電影節開鑼前看了. 感覺是滿意. 依然喜歡Woody Allen."Cassandra's Dream"有點"Match Point"(迷失決勝分)的味道, 或許故事有點類似吧.電影以男角為主, 女角都是陪襯, 不過美女Hayley Atwell(Angela)戲份也不少. 就是大家都熟識的色與情故事吧. 或許題材都是人所共知的人性弱點, 加點精妙的對白, 就滲了一點幽默感. 不是一貫Woody Allen式的幽默, 不過一樣令人發笑.可說是Ewan McGregor(Ian)及Colin Farrell(Terry)獨擔大旗的電影, 二人都演得很不錯. McGregor這回終於又以fit fit身型再現銀幕, 和演性格較弱的Terry的Farrell成強烈對比, 各有風格, 亦沒有哪方給比下去. 頗欣賞Farrell演繹好賭Terry的那份不滯.喜歡Woody Allen善於描繪人性的弱點及黑暗面. 好高傲遠、死沖、貪財、好色、炫耀... 大家都很熟識, 都會有共鳴. 電影節奏緊湊, 沒有悶場.還有Philip Glass的配樂, 雖然未至於喜歡到會買OST, 但音樂的確營造了電影的懸疑及緊張氣氛.人, 未去到某些位, 往往都不知道自己可以承受多少. 就是這點, 令電影結局來得合理且有點意外.唯一不滿意是女角戲份不多. 還有電影第一個鏡頭, 兩兄弟跑往看船一幕, 感覺有點老土和求其.

卡珊德拉之梦，关于人性，关于成功，关于亲情…看完之后整个人是压抑的。

有关人性，每个人用显微镜来看的话都会有阴暗面，有求皆苦，从卡珊德拉船开始两兄弟的欲望便不可遏制。

可以为了一时的欲望去杀人，去不择手段，关系到自己的利益的时候，亲人也可以出卖。

人性的阴暗面确实可怕。

有关成功，天上不会掉馅饼，赌牌一时的成功并不会帮你走向人生巅峰。

依靠别人的成功永远没有自己脚踏实地的成功来的靠谱，心安。

伊恩如果没有意外死亡或许会拥有他想得到的一切，但是那个杀人的污点即使自己伪装的再好，别人看不到，自己总会很在意。

自己的内心总会有不安宁。

有关亲情，亲人是什么？

你困难的时候会帮助你，但是这也是有条件的。

或许是最信任的人，但是会利用这份信任陷你于泥沼。

在利益面前，亲人还没有陌生人来的靠谱。

有权有势的亲人会给你提供更好的平台更多的机遇，但是反过来，他想从你这得到的反而更多，然后你还是要一辈子感谢他，对他言听计从。

相比不亲的亲人，宁愿去做陌生人。

看完这部，伦敦三部曲就完结了，三部片子都不长，1个半小时多点，故事也通俗易懂，象是从很多晚报杂志里找来了几个有点小离奇的谋杀故事，很多人都说这些是红颜祸水，作为一个男人，我倒是不这样认为，女人天生漂亮就是吸引男性追求的，作为社会的弱势群体，有时候成为了某些男人的玩物，也是很可悲的。

从人性的角度去探讨这些电影或许会更合适，每部片子都有一个出人意外的解决，《赛》片因为一个戒指改变了谋杀的故事，让男主逍遥法外；《塔洛牌》更绝，干脆艾伦老爷爷直接撞车搞死自己，如果男主不想淹死女主，也就逍遥法外了；《卡》片最后兄弟之死也是意外。

说白了三个意外就这样构建了这样的悲喜人生，而故事中每个人物的心理描写戏才是三部曲的精髓。

如果，有人承诺给你美好的未来，但条件是要你去杀一个人。

这样的游戏，你玩吗？

伊万与泰利这一对好兄弟为了自己的梦想，当然也为了要解决眼下的麻烦，慢慢地，慢慢地成长为杀人犯。

慢慢地，的意思是说：两兄弟，错过了好几次杀人的机会，作为观众，我们甚至一度认为他们可能要真的放弃了，或者还会产生另外一种想法：在与被杀者的接触中，他们发现一些内幕，促成他们放弃杀人的打算。

但影片没有这样发展，导演不要这样的效果。

最终还是让他们出手了。

杀人的情形，堪称完美！

——这将会是一桩无头血案！

两兄弟的富贵未来，已经切实的摆在了他们的面前。

但是泰利无法心安，他的良心不断地受到折磨！

影片以两兄弟斗殴导致一死，一自杀方式结束。

——这样的结尾，让人很是压抑！

在我看来，对未来的这种昂贵的出价，我们真的付不起！
