Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
yeral yeral (ismetyeral) Stanley Kubrickin's controversial film, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman is also an important step for the careers of the players. A married couple's psycho-sexual counterparts; a fantasy world full of seashells, and a high-tension cannabis that will finally be pierced. When Dr. William Harford (Tom Cruise) learns about the sexual pleasures that his wife has hidden up to that day, a new page filled with suspicion, horror and sexual exploits opens up in her life ... Kubrick is a game for everyone with masterful footage, he opens his eyes to the end.The 1999 Eyes Wide Shut is Stanley Kubrick's latest film which has left behind the unforgettable films of the director in many genres. Audience starring Dr. Nicole Kidman in the role of Alice Harford in the role of William 'Bill' Harford, Madison Eginton in the role of Helena Harford, Todd Field in the role of Sydney Pollack and Leslie Lowe and Nick Nightingale as Illona Ziegler with Victor Ziegler marks. In addition to being the director's latest film, Eyes Wide Shut, which is produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, has created the most question marks in film history and also has the title of controversial film. In addition to creating the Filmin screenplay with Kubrick's Frederic Raphael, the film is actually an adaptation of the Austrian novel Arthur Schnitzler's novel Traumovelle. In the movie Kubrick protects the atmosphere created by Novella, sexuality and psychoanalytical creations are intertwined, creating a tense atmosphere in a dream analysis. This nightmare journey, which takes place with Freud's psychoanalytic thoughts in his novels of Schnitzler, is carried to a visual world in the hands of Kubrick, and the film takes a great journey through the film. In this journey, the viewer is invited into a married couple's sexual world. With this invitation, your sexuality will see the stimulating nudges of the sexuality and meet with the wild pleasures and erotic thrill that come with these nudibranches. Eyes Wide Shut is an unforgettable film that creates itself especially at the point where eroticism and tension are combined and creates a manifestation of the sex appeal in fantasy with an enormous composition. The meticulous sensitivity to Stanley Kubrick's films appears in his latest film Eyes Wide Shut. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who starred in Filmin, made a deal with Kubrick for the film for a while, because Kubrick could not tell how long it would take for Filmin to be perfect. On top of that, Vincent D'Onofrioi, who plays Leonard Lawrence's character in Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, offered a house near Cruz and Kidman's set because a rumor began that Kubrick's perfectionist attitude would take him a long time to perfect. With the beginning of the project, Kubrick's perfectionist attitude showed itself. For example, Cruise's portrayal of Dr. As William (Bill) Harford did not get the desired effect from Kubrick on a scene from the door, Cruise portrayed the same scene 95 times and Cruise passed through the same door 95 times for a few seconds. In many such films, Kubrick's perfectionist attitude brought a film and a Guinness record. The shoots that started in the autumn of 1996 gave a film record with the longest shooting time until the end of January 1998.Stanley Kubrick has always included in the pleasure and love films he heard for classical music. A Clockwork Orange and Ludwig van Beethoven comes to mind, revealing the classical music passion in Kubrick's cinema. This same passion applies to Eyes Wide Shut. Dr. There is an access code for the mysterious party William Harford will join through his pianist friend. With this access code, partisans get together and get a 'chance' to experience the erotic tension inside. The password for entering the manor is also Fidelio. Fidelio is a Latin word and rooted in faithful words. Besides this, Fidelio is the name of the first and only opera composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1971. We see that a woman in the Fidelio named operative is doing her job to save her boyfriend's love and we meet her loyalty-credibility. In addition to showing Kubrick's passion for classical music through a word, we see the Requiem of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart among the Filmin soundtrack album. Requiem Bill Harford meets the audience on stage, where he finds out that 'Mysterious Woman' is dead by overdose.Eyes Wide Shut is about a married couple who both enjoys sex with one another, as well as enjoying eroticism. It was one of Filmin's most important goals to reflect this element, as the feelings in the eroticism bodies along with the nudges and fantasies of Bill Harford and Alice Harford couple were the most provocative elements. For this, Kubrick followed two different methods for two different desire reflections. These were the sex scenes of Harford's married couple. In order to reflect the monogamy and privacy of this sex scene, Kubrick worked in the set off the set and even pulled the players in their natural state without noticing that the camera recorded it. It was the scene where Alice, who was the second junkie, set up a fantasy she liked with another man. Tom Cruise was removed from the set for the shooting of this scene and even Kubrick was banned from entering the set. Along with this ban, Nicole Kidman has taken sex scenes with a male model in 50 different positions. Kubrick also banned Kidman from telling Cruise at the same time about the shootings and what happened. In this uncertainty, Cruise's envy toward Kidman was used as a major thriller in Kubrick's film.Eyes Wide Shut film Freudian made some changes and additions in the Kubrick scenario, while Arthur Schnitzler, a psychoanalytical mentality, adapted from cinematographer Traumnovelle. Among these attachments is the mirror scene in the film, one of the biggest problematic scenes for viewers. This scene, which can be read through Lacan's Theory of Mirror, takes place in cinema history as an unknown of Kubrick's genius. Yet another important feature of this scene is another phenomenon. This scene in front of Mirror of Crucifixion and Cruise appeared in front of the audience with 90 minutes in the filmin trailer and 90 seconds in the trailer hit the scene of influence and under the influence of the audience they encountered a big shock in the film because this scene is only 20 seconds in the film. This manipulation created by Kubrick on the audience and this little game that he plays has created a distinction between what appears in the mirror scene and the invisible, and the secret behind the mirror scene has become a matter of curiosity.Alice and Bill Harford's house was originally designed as a replica house. It's a copy of Stanley Kubrick's house in New York. Even in the 1960s, when Stanley Kubrick's wife and Christiane's house resurfaced, even the set pieces were used to reflect Kubrick's house. This copying process, starting from the same thing as the furniture, was soon turned into a more personalized one by Kubrick. In the film, all the tables at home are like Christiane's tables, just like Kubrick's home. The fact that Harford's house has been personally transformed into Kubrick's house keeps the question of whether Kubrick goes out of an autobiographical story all the time. However, Kubrick has also created this personality trait for players. Cruise and Kidman, who are also married in real life, have begun to stay in the bedrooms of Harford, a married couple. They chose the curtains of the double room, where they spent their time, and the spaces in the film were transformed into personal spaces.
glenn-204-818420 This movie demands little in review as who is qualified. Just watch and enjoy each set, sound score, and scene unfold as Kubrick intended. The epitomy of directorial prowess.
lorcan-61881 Eyes Wide Shut came out in the Summer of 1999 and was directed by my favourite director of all time, Stanley Kubrick, who sadly died a week after the film's final cut was shown. The film follows Bill and Alice Harford who seem like a typical New York wealthy and happy family with their 7 year old daughter but when Alice reveals a secret about a sexual encounter with a man from last summer, Bill then goes to get fair on his wife by also sleeping with someone and after everything fails, Bill then is recommended by his friend to go to a building outside NYC only to discover the great danger he's in and how it can affect his family and friends. Eyes Wide Shut deserves more attention because it truly is a masterpiece in cinematic history, why? The film is art, it's so beautiful, can we all just look at that amazing ritual scene in the film, that scene was basically a painting, literally, A PAINTING!! The performances are so loveable but I haft to say, Kidman goes way over Cruise, I really wished she was in the film more which was probably just my little glitch with it but I truly did not mind that, she was just better than Tom Cruise, no affence! There arent really any other characters except for a few who pop in and out like the costume shop man and his daughter and people like that. My favourite part of the film, like many's obviously was the mansion scene, it was just because it was so beautiful and mysterious and so well acted by Cruise. Eyes Wide Shut deserves more praise then 74% on Rotten Tomatoes!
parameswaranrajendran The movie that I tried to ignore for past 4 years since researching about the secret society and conspiracy theories. Finally today is the day to talk about this film. Stanley Kubrick exposed one of the oldest secret in this world through dream & mystery genre. I like the one dialogue said by Tom Cruise - What kind of fu**ing charade is that taking lives of people. Stanley significantly hints those celebrities that died and will die in future too. Here are some eye-opening facts about Eyes Wide Shut1. The film is based on novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story) which was published in 1926.2. The Warner Bros. Pictures pushed Kubrick to cast A-list names.3. Kubrick liked the idea of casting a real-life married couple in the film, and originally considered Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. Eventually, he went with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who were married from 1990 to 2001.4. Though the film is set in New York, it was filmed in London.5. The movie is the Guiness World Record Holder for the longest constant movie shoot with a total of 400 days. Cruise and Kidman only committed to six months of filming. The extended shoot delayed work for Mission: Impossible II. Tom didn't seem to mind though as he said - we knew from the beginning the level of commitment needed.6. Kubrick temporarily banned Cruise from the set during shoot Kidman's sex scene with another man, which motivates the rest of the film's plot. They spent 6 days to filming the one-minute scene (wtf Kubrick).7. Six days for a one-minute scene is nothing compared to the time Kubrick had Cruise do 95 takes of one simple action: walking through a door. 8. Kubrick has a cameo in the movie which can be seen sitting in a booth at the Sonata Café.9. Kubrick passed away less than a week after showing the studio what would be the final cut of the film to Warner Bros. (not surprise for those revealing secret society)10. Eyes Wide Shut came out a full 12 years after Kubrick's previous film 1987's Full Metal Jacket.11. Kubrick's only film to earned $30,196,742 during its first week in release.12. One year after the film's release, Cruise admitted that he "didn't like playing Dr. Bill. I didn't like him. It was unpleasant. But I would have absolutely kicked myself if I hadn't done this.
