eyes wide shut is a 1999 erotic drama film directed , produced , and co-written by stanley kubrick .

based on arthur schnitzler 's 1926 novella traumnovelle ( dream story ) , the story is transferred from early 20th century vienna to 1990s new york city .

the film follows the sexually-charged adventures of dr. bill harford , who is shocked when his wife , alice , reveals that she had contemplated having an affair a year earlier .

he embarks on a night-long adventure , during which he infiltrates a massive masked orgy of an unnamed secret society .

kubrick obtained the filming rights for dream story in the 1960s , considering it a perfect text for a film adaptation about sexual relations .

the project was only revived in the 1990s , when the director hired writer frederic raphael to help him with the adaptation .

the film was mostly shot in the united kingdom ( aside from some exterior establishing shots ) , and included a detailed recreation of some exterior greenwich village street scenes at pinewood studios .

the film spent a long time in production , and , at 400 days , holds the guinness world records longest continuous film shoot .

eyes wide shut was kubrick 's last film ; he died six days after showing his final cut to warner bros . to ensure a theatrical r rating in the united states , warner bros. digitally altered several sexually-explicit scenes during post-production .

this version was released on july 16 , 1999 to moderately positive reactions from critics ; worldwide takings at the box office amounted to $ 162 million .

the uncut version has since been released in dvd , hd dvd , and blu-ray disc formats .

as with many of kubrick 's works , reception to eyes wide shut has become more favorable since the film 's initial release .

on its release eyes wide shut was sighted by many as slow and old fashioned . how could it be contemporary when kubrick had not even visited manhattan in years and unconvincingly constructed it in a sound stage in england ? the critics missed the point . eyes wide shut is contemporary . it takes the basic themes of traumnovelle and adapts it from its early twentieth century vienna setting to offer insight into the post - feminist gender politics of a modern relationship .

taking this theme with us as we move on to eyes wide shut we will see that jack from the shining and bill from eyes wide shut share a similar sense of male angst , although deal with it in completely different ways – the psychopath versus the essentially good husband and father . we shall see how it presents “an obsessive and – for its central character – unsuccessful quest for ways to maintain male sexual dominance and overcome the upheavals caused by the shifting relationships between genders . ” [ 7 ]
it is tautological to state that a film covers the journey between the first and final shots but in the case of eyes wide shut these two images which bookend the picture offer us incredible insight into how the central theme of the film plays out .
first time i saw part 1 i was going through a spiritual awakening , i was fasting and praying , then all of sudden i switched on my tv ( why ? temptation to watch tv ) , and saw the movie , i knew that god was trying to say something using the movie but then , my eyes were wide shut . now my eyes are wide open and i can see how twisted the world is…

the guinness world records recognized eyes wide shut as the longest continual film shoot — over 15 months . cruise and kidman’s contract was open - ended . this meant they couldn’t be released from the project until kubrick gave his word , however long the shoot lasted .
the scene i chose to analyse was a scene out of stanley kubrick’s drama , eyes wide shut . tom cruise plays the main character as a new york city doctor ( dr . william harford ) and nicole kidman plays as williams’s wife ( alice harford ) .
normally , a film like this gets restored on video . american pie was a recent example . viewers have the option to rent or purchase either the
rated r
version or the
unrated
version . guess which one sold more ? i had fearlessly predicted that we would be able to see the uncut version of eyes wide shut on home video , and so i was incensed when i found out that warners was cravenly sticking to their
policy .
viewers in the us can ' t even buy the european dvd of eyes wide shut because of the
region coding
involved with those machines . so there is still no way for americans to see the real eyes wide shut as kubrick filmed it . ( though i ' ve seen comparisons on the web . )
nicole kidman and tom cruise , hollywood ' s premier couple , are furious with an american magazine for alleging that they needed sex therapists to help them perform on camera during the filming of stanley kubrick ' s final film , an erotic thriller called eyes wide shut .
in two television spots , one accompanied by chris isaak singing
baby did a bad , bad thing
and another featuring pulsating piano music , warner bros . is cranking up its marketing campaign for
eyes wide shut ,
stanley kubrick ' s final film .
as ' eyes wide shut ' was stanley kubrick ' s last film , it ' s not entirely surprising that the film is rarely discussed on its own terms , but instead as an epitaph to kubrick ' s larger , more highly - regarded body of work .
rounding things out is a short d . w . griffith award acceptance speech that kubrick gave right before his death , as well as two tv spots and a theatrical trailer for eyes wide shut . ' all are presented in 480i / mpeg - 2 video only .
but it seems like the same thing hasn ' t happened with eyes wide shut , and in all honesty i think it ' s because of tom cruise ' s weird beliefs and even weirder personal life overshadowing his film work ( beyond popcorn blockbuster type films ) .
to solve that mystery , all you have to do is keep your ears wide open .
in the past two decades , venice has held world premieres for several hundreds of u . s . works , including stanley kubrick’s “eyes wide shut , ” oscar - winners “brokeback mountain” and “the hurt locker” and george clooney’s “michael clayton , ” plus obviously “gravity” last year .
eyes wide shut marked kubrick ' s return to film - making after a 12 - year hiatus . the film was in the final stages of post - production when he died at his home in hertfordshire . it was finally released to mixed reviews and middling box office .
judging from the initial reviews , the ducks are waddling right into line once again for
eyes wide shut ,
the sexually charged farewell from a director who was brilliant , unyielding in his personal vision and wholly capable of making suspect films . just like a real person .
practically , it’s an attempt to explicate internal drama . if sexual jealousy so often feels epic , it’s just as often rooted in empty paranoia . eyes wide shut walks a line — for all its sights and sounds , it presents no actual infidelitous copulation from either husband or wife .
original eyes wide shut teaser that kubrick cut it himself for showest convention . he died before all the other marketing material had been completed , but this one teaser is the only piece of marketing he had a hand in . all other teasers / trailers are cut by warner bros .
6 cornellier , bruno ( february – march 2003 ) “the gendering of representation : a theoretical account of gender and sexual politics in film representation , and its application for a critical understanding of kubrick’s eyes wide shut , ” concordia university ( montreal , quebec , canada ) in cadrage .
occasionally , eyes turn towards him but immediately look away as soon as he notices them .
but if kubrick’s body of work is rife with illuminati symbolism , his final film eyes wide shut is the climax . not only is this film about a mysterious , perhaps murderous , secret society , it is drenched in allusions to the new world order cabal . occult symbols like the pentagram can be found throughout the film , as well as multiple references to rainbows and looking glasses . . . eyes wide shut , the phrase itself , is a calling card among secret societies , meaning ‘my eyes are shut to your misdeeds , brother . ’ this anonymity is required of the participants , otherwise the society’s moneyed elite would be revealed . for as one character in the film says , “if i told you their names i don’t think you’d sleep so well . ”
the writer at the ghost diaries also indicates that warner bros . , the studio that released eyes wide shut , made considerable edits to the film after kubrick ' s death . though the studio said that it was due to the sexuality of the film , illuminati theorists believe something else entirely :
the second part of this series of articles on eyes wide shut takes a closer look at the elite secret society discovered by the film’s main character , bill harford , and how it resembles real life organizations . was stanley kubrick trying to warn the world about the occult elite and its depraved ways ?
when will eyes wide shut be ready ? a film set at christmas time ought to come out at christmas . it must do to qualify for next year ' s oscar nominations . but kubrick is as fastidious about editing as he is about shooting . like warner brothers we may have to wait .
opening day , doors spring wide . fragrant tomatoes bid you welcome . sans 100 emilys of course .
eyes wide shut is all the more amazing when you consider the critique that most of kubrick ' s work is
cold
and non - human . sex has not been a motif in any of his films , unless it be depraved sex , as in lolita ( 1962 ) or a clockwork orange ( 1971 ) , or humorous sex as with the mid - air refueling in dr . strangelove ( 1964 ) . that eyes wide shut is a mature , artful , and honest look at human sexual emotions and dreams , especially for a filmmaker at the end of his career , is astonishing .
eyes wide shut ,
which premiered 15 years ago this month , has made its mark as not just kubrick ' s final film , but one that refused its potential to legitimize the nc - 17 rating and somehow managed to make us feel sorry for tom cruise . after a record - breaking production period , kubrick sent the studio a final cut , dying less than a week later . for the

in spite of kubrick ' s reputation as an important - albeit reclusive and eccentricauteur and his death on 7 march 1999 , a few months before the film ' s release , reviewers did not handle eyes wide shut ( 1999 ) with kid gloves . indeed , it has since become commonplace to assert that critics overwhelmingly panned the film ( d . johnson 55 ; kreider 280 ; sperb ,
their eyes
125 ) . clearly , eyes wide shut was widely misunderstood , but it elicited a somewhat more ambivalent response than subsequent analyses have suggested . although some labeled it puerile , pompous , unrealistic , risible , unsexy , and anachronistic , the film nonetheless caught viewers ' attention with its dreamlike camera work , paranoid protagonist , and
extraordinary orgy sequence
( ebert ) . more recent assessments , such as michel chion ' s monograph devoted to what he considers one of kubrick ' s top three films ( 9 ) , suggest the need for a révaluation of the initial critical reaction to eyes wide shut and the reasons for it .
eyes wide shut doesn ' t deserve to be treated as a disappointing footnote to an otherwise exceptional career - or worse , disregarded as a minor work : it ' s a picture of texture and depth made by a director at the peak of his creative vision . nevertheless , it ' s ironic that in an age where film criticism is becoming increasingly democratised , and critics themselves are quicker than ever to champion movies that never quite get their due , eyes wide shut continues to be classed as a pariah in the kubrick pantheon . we forget all too easily that most of kubrick ' s films received mixed reception on their original release , only to obtain classic status after years of study and re - evaluation . it ' s time to return to eyes wide shut with ( yes , i will say it ) eyes wide open and embrace it as an original , distinctive piece of filmmaking so bold in its execution and intent that it continues to linger in the mind and haunt the imagination long after many of its imitators ( naming no names , but wes anderson ' s smartarse grand budapest hotel deserves an honorary mention ) evaporate from memory .

the film has generally received panning from critics and audiences alike , with many considering eyes wide shut to be a disappointing finish to a rather exceptional career . however , it is worth noting that many of kubrick’s film were not thought of as of great quality upon initial release , the shining for example was nominated for several razzie awards , including worst director . it is quite possible , then , that time will eventually show eyes wide shut to be right up there with kubrick’s best . many think that the film is a dull ‘affair’ , and at two and a half hours centred on one scene , it is an understandable criticism .
at its core , eyes wide shut is about marriage and the challenges it represents . when kidman and cruise attempt to reconcile what has happened to them , the marriage bond works like an invisible adhesive . kidman sums everything up in the movie ' s all - important last line and we go home charged and enlightened .
5 . to say kubrick is a perfectionist is an understatement : his intent was to film scenes so many times that it would wear down his actors and they ' d forget the cameras existed . during the course of shooting

gossip column in last august ' s issue of punch . the anonymous article , about his latest film , eyes wide shut , said of mr kubrick :
there ' s a thin line between being an artistic perfectionist and being a barking loon .
kubrick took so long to make his films , and re - shot individual scenes so many times , that a spontaneous erection would seem beyond the realm of his imagination . unfortunately for
eyes wide shut
( and for the few critical audience members the film will actually draw ) , kubrick never really loosened up .

while the original story that eyes wide shut is based on is set during mardi gras in 1900s vienna , kubrick changed the setting to christmas in new york city . christmas lights and decorations appear in almost every scene , and critics have pointed out that they give the movie amazing color and other - worldliness in its lighting .
so much has been conjectured and written about
eyes wide shut
before its release that it almost seems ridiculous to introduce the key players . ( us magazine had a hilarious cover story several weeks ago , the writer wondering whether this is the sexiest film ever made . . . before anybody had even seen it . )
in part 2 , vc takes reader on an esoteric ride , passing scenes only encountered in secret societies . bill , for his part , shows ingenuity in gaining access to forbidden , dangerous places ! series , is clearly , some of vigilant citizen’s best work that captures atmosphere of “eyes wide shut” perhaps better than film itself !
eyes wide shut is two hours and 59 minutes long , and at the screening held a few days before he died , he apparently told the head of warner bros . , terry semel , that the final cut would be two hours and thirty - nine minutes long . and , as this respected kubrick site points out :
eyes wide shut is kubrick through and through , from the frequent long , unbroken takes to the camera ' s refusal to remain static . kubrick ' s style , which became increasingly personalized with every new project , is one of eyes wide shut ' s most recognizable traits . every shot and camera angle was selected with great care . there were no happy accidents - each moment of screen time was meticulously plotted , with many scenes being re - done at a later date when the initial version did not meet with the director ' s approval . ( the time allotted for re - shoots allegedly equaled the period most movies demand for primary filming ) .
having said all that , most will probably never warm to ' eyes wide shut . ' as is so often the case with kubrick , the director seems so hell - bent on not catering to expectations that his film lacks any and all mainstream appeal . of course , this is what earned the director the label of iconoclastic auteur - - in an industry that ' s often obsessed with the bottom line , kubrick refused to shape his film to be mere
products .
although ' eyes wide shut ' may not succeed anywhere near the level of the director ' s most revered classics , like all of his work , its vision is uncompromising .
in one of those glorious coincidences that are too lucky to be true but would be luckless for the undeserving , kubrick happened to look in on his choreographer ' s rehearsal of the masked ball orgy scene for his film
eyes wide shut
while pook ' s composition
backwards priests
was playing as a reference track .
i recommend you purchase the 2 disc special edition eyes wide shut . the version of the movie is the un - rated version which does not have the black silhouettes blocking the guests at the palace during the orgy scene . the movie has scenes which are a bit long but that was kubrick ' s movie style of filming .
false : the film was shooting concurrently with ews in a st . albans property that used to be a bacon factory that kubrick had bought and converted in to a studio . although chris cunningham , built robots for kubrick there and it has been reported that parts of eyes wide shut were indeed shot in the converted bacon factory .

dad ' s week off

came out 30 years ago this month . unrelated to the premiere , today is also the anniversary of the character ' s day off .
ferris bueller ` s day off goes through the motions of enjoyable experiences without communicating much joy .

review : an unintentionally depressing view of family life , national lampoon ' s dad ' s week off updates the seven year itch ( 1957 ) by introducing a de - sexed hero who ' s too much of a bore to even conceive of an attempt at adultery . the film was made for the showtime , … ( more )
matthew broderick charms in ferris bueller ' s day off , a light and irrepressibly fun movie about being young and having fun .
protect us from zealots ! jimmy perry did not say that , exactly , but the sentiment runs through dad’s army like a stick of rock .
such is the basic plot for the ' 80s classic
ferris bueller ' s day off .
but after screenwriter and director john hughes turned these fictional events into the hooky - celebrating movie , a mystery remained : what actual day did bueller take off ?
* quote of the week came when jimmy admired the stellar production of his saul goodman ad : “guy at the station says he’s never seen so many star wipes in a row . it’s never been done . ”
if your preferred way to spend a vacation is more the vicarious sort ,
ferris bueller ' s day off
is currently available on digital hd .
ferris bueller ' s day off , granillo believes , was june 5 , 1985 , almost exactly a year before the movie debuted on june 11 , 1986 . here ' s how granillo figured it out .
yes there was wisdom in dad’s army , as well as laughter . full marks , jimmy perry : you added a sprightly verse to the unending song of human happiness .
omething else gives dad’s army its zing . it shows us , the british – more specifically the english – in the hours of our greatest peril , behaving decently . although we were ultimately victorious in the second world war , dad’s army bears no trace of triumphalism . indeed , philip madoc’s german naval officer is given some of the best lines in his famous “fish and chips” encounter with the chaps .

bad idea # 237 : make a brand new full - length feature film of dad’s army . we are , happily , not short of original dad’s army episodes . between 1968 and 1977 there were nine series broadcast on the bbc , a total of 80 episodes , of which only three , from the second series , have been lost due to the bbc’s infamous policy of videotape wiping for re - use — set in place to help its hard - pressed executives feel more economically efficient .
but that’s not what you asked me ! despite the early clue of both rose and her father using the would’ve - voted - for - obama - again line—the armitage clan has a pretty polished routine by now—i was surprised by rose’s involvement . well , not surprised as much as disenchanted . and that’s really the point , right ? of all the things chris tries to look past or laugh off throughout the movie , from the dad’s slang - slinging to the partygoers’ awkwardness , he at least thinks that his girlfriend is proof that things are getting better . she’s the one who faced down the cop at the beginning of the movie , she’s the one who called her dad out for his shenanigans ; she was , as discourse - minded corners of the internet like to say , an ally . the question was , was her involvement personal , or just family business ? i’m not sure it matters , honestly . either answer fits snugly into the movie’s central metaphor about america’s systemic dependence on ( and theft of ) black bodies .
( see ' s this from a distance ) hmmm , so that ' s how it is in their family .
he plays hapless computer salesman jack who has a week of disasters , when his wife and kids leave him home alone . he manages to get drunk and drugged , finding himself waking up in a strange woman ' s house with nothing but womens clothes and handcuffs to hide his dignity .
still , the cubs ' june 5 game against the braves occurred on a wednesday and plausibly happened near the end of bueller ' s senior year , which matches with the details given in the movie . paramount has also celebrated june 5 as the definitive marker . as such , granillo ' s baseball theory remains the most airtight marker of bueller ' s day off .
* is nacho’s plan for hector’s pills what leads to the stroke that we know the drug lord suffers ? he might just be investing in a shiny new bell by season’s end .
so dad’s army famine is rarely felt , especially as many of us , as the years wander by , find that we have pretty much forgotten the best bits of earlier episodes by the time they come around again , pleasingly tickling dim but fond memories .
, it is clear that dad’s army represents the finest alignment of writing and acting in 70 years of television entertainment . the show was a brilliant meshing of skills that continues to delight viewers , including many unborn when the first programme went out in 1968 .
protect us from zealots ! jimmy perry did not say that , exactly , but the sentiment runs through dad’s army like a stick of rock . “do you really think that is wise , sir ? ” john le mesurier’s sgt wilson would ask mainwaring when the pompous man’s blood was up – a query that carried the force of a rebuke : “don’t be so bloody daft ! ”
his time under don hector’s thumb might be coming to a close , though . hector’s envious of gus’ innocent chicken - shop front , and wants one for himself… so he asks nacho about his dad’s car upholstery business . nacho pleads that his dad doesn’t know anything about the drug game , but hector doesn’t budge : “you will teach him . ” hector flies into a rage , though , when he hears bad news about tuco — he broke a guard’s jaw in prison and is stuck in solitary — and has to take pills to calm down . one of the pills falls to the ground… and nacho keeps an eye on it , placing his shoe over it when hector’s not looking . is a coup brewing ?
with dad’s army perry achieved immortality . yet consider how the cast of characters must have looked when he and croft pitched it to the bbc 48 years ago : a pompous bank manager , a barmy butcher , a gloomy undertaker , a mummy’s boy and his vague “uncle” , a cockney spiv , a fusspot arp warden , and a man who enjoyed nothing more than talking about his sister’s cucumber sandwiches .
a computer salesman charged with marketing a tiny computer that no one can operate faces hypertension when he realizes that there is no way to sell the product and he is likely to lose his job . so he can get some rest , his wife offers to take their two kid ' s camping for a week .
henry ' the fonz ' winkler stars in this madcap comedy as a stressed - out father and computer salesman who sees his week of peace and quiet descend into nerve - shredding chaos . good - natured craziness - including a spell in prison and kidnapping - in the proud tradition of chevy chase ' s vacations .
it ' s an outrageous , clever and charming comedy of youth in revolt that john hughes is accustomed to . ferris bueller ' s day off is a classical coming - of - age film filled with countless humor , a slick and sleek performance from matthew broderick and smart script , making this a recognizable film of the decade . 5 / 5
that understatement at the heart of so much english humour helped make dad’s army what it was . and it is important , in these fractious days , to be reminded that we are essentially a nation of fair - minded people , no matter what a seasoned grumbler like ken loach suggests .
with all the talk about get out subverting the “the black guy dies first” trope , though , i think people are overlooking that this is way bigger than horror . in virtually all modern storytelling , black people rarely get to complete the hero’s journey : they’re killed off , captured , or otherwise sacrificed before making their way home . we need more of these stories—and i don’t mean black triumphing over white , i mean a fully rounded protagonist with the opportunity to come back home with a story of triumph that shames the haters and gives life to fans . it’s about getting to see a cycle of personal growth pay off . that’s truly where the optimism lies .
this is a lark that i think you ' ll respond to and cheer on , a lark about one young man who goes to exaggerated lengths , fighting massive odds and disapproving , fearful people , to take a day off .
thanks to kim’s heartfelt closing statement on his behalf ( and chuck’s meltdown last week ) , jimmy emerges from his disbarment hearing with his law license intact , and he and kim celebrate by sharing a bottle of champagne poured into coffee mugs . he did get his law license suspended for a full year , though , forcing jimmy to call all of his elderly clients and inform them that he’s taking a “brief sabbatical from the law . ” in the process , he realizes his “gimme jimmy” ad is still running on daytime tv , and he’s stuck paying for nine more ad buys he can no longer use . he’s not even allowed to resell it . unless…
so there’s a good lesson for those of us floundering haplessly under the cisgender male yoke . what the antique , unimproved dad’s army was about was , of course , being british , class — the great joke being that the diffident wilson was infinitely more aristocratic than the striving mainwaring , his superior both at the bank and in the corps . an element of this survives but obviously no longer suffices .
celebrated for writing ( with david croft ) it ain’t half hot mum and hi - di - hi ! , he is best - known as the creator and joint writer of dad’s army , which remains , five decades on , the best - loved of all british television comedies – “sitcom” does not really do it justice .

when jimmy’s phone starts ringing off the hook with businesses offering to buy his ad time , kim asks to see the commercial he ran . after some hesitation , jimmy pops the tape in , and we see him hawking the ad time in disguise — wearing a baseball cap , a fake goatee and a many - pocketed vest , like a cut - rate spielberg . the name he gives at the end ? saul goodman productions . jimmy explains to a bewildered kim : “it’s like , ‘s’all good , man’… it’s just a name . ” yeah , we’ll probably never hear that pseudonym again , will we ?

* chuck was still devastated after last week’s courtroom turmoil , but howard assured him the bar’s decision on jimmy was good news : he’ll surely screw up again during his suspension , and then he’ll get his license revoked for good . so they toasted “to new beginnings” with a very old bottle of scotch , and that inspired chuck to face his affliction head - on , first gripping a battery in his bare hand and then walking the neon - lined streets of downtown… albeit with a mylar hoodie on . is he trying to get better in hopes of exacting vengeance on his brother ?

stripping off the double period patina it enjoys — being both set in that ever more distant war era and made in quite a different time — feels like cultural vandalism , not loving renovation . it’s rude . they may try to be a little tactful , giving us , for example , partial teasers only of the great catchphrases — “stupid . . . ” , “they don’t like it . . . ” — before we get the full line .
one of my favorite exchanges between brennan and her father came late in season 5 when the gravedigger’s trial wasn’t going so well . not content to watch the woman who buried his daughter alive get away scot - free , max very nearly took out the gravedigger on his own . “i don’t want you to kill people for me , ” brennan sighed . “just buy me a sweater like a regular dad . ” she got in a few good years with a kinder , gentler max who might buy sweaters , but i’m glad he died as the man who would kill people for his daughter because that’s the max we met .
his camera also proved lucky , though : georgina and walter might have been behaved suspiciously , but it wasn’t until the flash - bulb mishap at the party that chris really started to do the math about what was going on . in fact , speaking of poor “andrew logan hill”—the dude who was kidnapped in the beginning of the movie , and then popped back up as arm candy at the party—he’s presumably still stuck in the sunken place , stuck with someone else’s name ( message ! ) and watching life through a tiny screen , unaware that he’s dressed like a rich white woman’s antebellum fantasy . and there’s no reason to think that everyone else in rose’s photo box isn’t out there suffering a similar fate . just because one lucky guy got out doesn’t mean everyone does—and in peele’s super - smart directorial debut , that might be the scariest thing of all .
such recoil is not just outraged conservatism about who first created and defined these roles , as it would be if one always resisted the re - casting of any great play or film . even defining performances can always be outdone or at least re - worked for another age . but dad’s army can’t , not possibly . it was a sitcom , which is to say habitual — and since it is still frequently broadcast and enjoyed , it is with us as much as it ever was . and we don’t enjoy our favourite habits being changed for us .
max resists . he’d rather help his daughter by staying by her side and doing what he does best — you know , killing someone . evading authority . having a fight in a parking lot . max things . but brennan insists that he go to the safe house ; she needs to know that christine and hank are okay , and she won’t know that unless they’re under max’s care . “dad , i have never needed you more than i do now , ” she says , practically sealing his fate . “please do this for me . ” how could he say no ?

washing up in thomas’s lower east side apartment building , w . f . quickly becomes the young man’s literary life coach . heaven knows he needs one : an aspiring writer who equates rebellion with a downscale zip code and a whining contempt for the financial success of his father , ethan ( pierce brosnan ) , thomas moons over a gorgeous young woman ( kiersey clemons ) and frets over his emotionally fragile mother ( a warm cynthia nixon ) . he probably also needs a therapist , preferably a freudian , to unravel why he’s obsessively stalking his father’s mistress , johanna ( kate beckinsale ) .
a computer salesman charged with marketing a tiny computer that no one can operate faces hypertension when he realizes that there is no way to sell the product and he is likely to lose his job . so he can get some rest , his wife offers to take their two kid ' s camping for a week . when his fellow salesman and best friend is fired and thrown out of his house by his wife , he moves in and immediately starts unending parties which ultimately ends up the house on fire and winkler arrested on multiple charges . in between , in a drug - induced stupor , he gets mixed up with a ditzy blonde who wants to marry him and rescue her child from being raised by her parents .

aldo clemens was the first to die , but the next victim is an innocent bystander : an elderly shut - in named margaret kwan . margaret’s regular delivery guy was booth’s ranger buddy , mike , who sounds like he comes from the seeley booth school of withstanding torture : really good at staying quiet when he’s the one in pain but really bad at watching other people suffer . since mike was more likely to give up booth’s name to spare margaret than to spare himself , the killer grabbed them both , forcing mike to watch as margaret — a sweet old lady who just wanted to knit ! — was brutally tortured .
as for the movie’s lasting impact , i think that remains to be seen . i thought dave chappelle’s commentary was helping tear down some of our oldest cultural walls in the early ’00s , and look where we are now . we always assume ours is the generation that’s fixing this stuff , only to sometimes find out otherwise . that’s why i couldn’t help wondering how complicit rose was . what did you think about the fact that ol ' girl was in on the scheme ? was she just a dutiful granddaughter helping her grandpa get over getting sonned by jesse owens back in the day ? or was she just pure milk - sipping evil ?
burdened by thuddingly obvious musical choices ( including simon & garfunkel’s gorgeous title song and , for crying out loud , dylan’s “visions of johanna” ) , allan loeb’s script is glib and grating . the way is cleared for w . f . , with his aura of slovenly glamour and precise knowledge of the cooking temperature of heroin , to steal the show . but mr . turner holds his own , gamely countering his strong resemblance to the young richard gere with a performance of perplexed immaturity .

what made it so memorable ? the wit of the writing , of course , and the opportunities perry and croft gave their team of top - class actors to grow into their roles . when arthur lowe’s captain mainwaring tells clive dunn’s lance corporal , “i think you’re entering the realms of fantasy here , jones” , who can resist a purr of pleasure ?

but the film is tonally off , inevitably . to make it into a movie rather than a bundle of sketches , an overarching plot has been provided . we are later on in the war , leading up to d - day , and the nazis have sent over a secret agent , catherine zeta - jones , codenamed cobra , to try to find out if the invasion is planned for the pas - de - calais or normandy . she has headed straight for walmington - on - sea , pretending to be a journalist called rose winters , writing for the lady , to exploit the gullible locals .
a wide - open goal post for accusations of triteness and affectation , marc webb ’s “the only living boy in new york” dares us to score the second we hear jeff bridges’s cynical , omniscient voice - over . as w . f . , an alcoholic author with a mysterious connection to the movie’s nebbishy hero , thomas ( callum turner ) , mr . bridges slips delightedly into the kind of arrogant - artist role he perfected in “the door in the floor” ( 2004 ) . here , his character is more grimy and less lustful , but no less certain of his own rectitude .
kr : ever since hopper and fonda blew it at the end of easy rider , the pessimist take has been the mark of serious countercultural cinema—and honestly , if it were my first big solo project , i might’ve given into the temptation to go cynical . it’s just too easy to go full chicken little with every setback on this bumpy road to progress . but i have to think that peele is an optimist ( rose’s milk glass was half full , right ? ) , who doesn’t think that the colorline is permanently insurmountable . his life is testament to that : he’s mixed himself , and he’s married to chelsea peretti . the playing field might not be level , but there are of enough of us who have mastered the judo needed to escape the trap . even you , whitey !
margaret died from a single slit to the neck , so it’s safe to assume that the killer ended her life after mike caved . and if the killer knows booth’s name , then booth , brennan , max , and the kids can’t stay at home . caroline , who blesses so much of this episode with her presence that i was a little worried she might die , arranges to put the whole family in an fbi safe house .

jimmy reassembles the film - school misfit crew who shot his ad and hustles around town to local businesses , offering to shoot an ad for them and giving them his airtime for free — only charging them for producing the ad . it’s a nifty loophole he’s found , but the clock is ticking ; when the owners of a discount carpet warehouse ask for time to think about it , jimmy tells them , “we would need to be shooting in the next 15 minutes . ” he returns to his film crew dejected , without a sale , but an offhand comment from one of them ( “maybe you could make a commercial ? ” ) flicks on a light bulb above jimmy’s head .
peter rubin : first off , kelli , i have a hard time thinking of the last time we were both so excited for the same movie . best man holiday , maybe ? we ' re huge key & peele fans ( the shining - inspired
continental breakfast
sketch being among our mutual favorites ) , so this has been on our radar for a while now . when jordan peele tweeted out the first trailer for get out last october , my first reaction was that i couldn ' t get over the way it refused to turn into a comedy . it took away the wink , which made its satire feel even sharper , and it seemed like it had the potential to be more incisive than most comedies about race and racism in america .
this prompted another to quiz : “so you’ve genuinely been sacked ? ! wtffff ! so you’ve been sacked ? nah man ! give over ! ! ” before another referred to the loss of the show’s stars and put : “dropping like flies ffs . ”
don ' t get me wrong , being black right now has its share of issues , and it’s nice to see it given a deeper dimension in a scary movie . the absurdism of horror tropes extends pretty easily to the absurdism that surrounds so much talk about race and racism : it’s not a far walk from “why is he going into the woods ? ” to “why do we really have to explain why black lives matter ? ” we all know exactly how it ' s going to go down , but it doesn’t stop us from re - enacting it time and time again . and the movie acknowledges literal historical horror for sure , mirrored in the armitage family members’ weapons of choice : from seduction , to brute force , to guinea - pig experimentation , to plain old bamboozlement .
which brings us to that ending . while chris was fighting his way out of the family’s twisted chop - shop , whether by bocce ball or foot on the devil’s neck , you turned to me and said “this isn’t going to end well . ” and when we saw the flashing lights of the police car , just as chris was about to bid a farewell to armitages , i agreed with you . it felt like the whole theater did , honestly . the mood changed abruptly , because we all knew what would happen next : rose appealing to the cops to trust their eyes and their instincts ; the movie turning into the tragedy - mask version of the end of key & peele’s “negrotown” sketch . but somehow , miraculously , that wasn’t to be . so , kelli , why ? why not leave us miserable ?
however , for that modern touch , the women of walmington save the day , godfrey’s elderly sisters , rather resembling the old dears in fawlty towers , perform some prime detective work , ringing up chanel in paris to find where rose got her flashy clothes delivered ( berlin ) . and mrs mainwaring , dreaded but never seen in the original version but here forcefully incarnated by felicity montagu ( lynn in i’m alan partridge ) , leads a women’s army troop , including alison steadman as mrs fox , which is far better organised than the men . when the shooting starts , they prove the decisive factor .
but as painful as it is to say goodbye to max keenan — bank robber , absentee father , doting grandfather , and prime booth / brennan shipper — i can’t think of a better way for him to go out . after he dropped a hospital bracelet at brennan’s birthday party , it seemed like we’d be spending this season watching his health gradually fail him , but max isn’t the type to go gently into that good night . max is more the type to get a pacemaker without telling his daughter , then , as soon as he’s back in peak health , give up his own life in a blaze of badass granddad glory .
in the movie , bueller steals a lunch reservation for noon . since the cubs game started around 1 : 25 p . m . ( cdt ) , the group at least should have had ample time to make it to the cubs ' wrigley field . but after that , bueller ' s day gets a bit busier .
besides , the film was stuffed with predator - vs . - prey imagery that ended up subverting expectation . the lion next to the bed ended up as nothing but a stuffed toy ; meanwhile , the deer head on the wall became the film’s bloodiest weapon . interracial fear can go in either direction—fear of the other exists on both sides .
pr : sure , laugh now , but the race is on to see who titles their next mixtape the sunken place vol . 1 : behold the coagula ! ( my money’s on lupe fiasco . ) i think you’re dead on about chris . as with any horror survivor , it’s partially luck and partially character . being a photographer might have been the thing that made him so attractive to the blind art dealer , but it also made him a watcher . even in the earliest scenes , he just sat back and observed . that telephoto lens on his camera wasn’t just an obvious ( and black ) phallic symbol he was poking into the armitages’ world—it was a penetrating gaze that helped him expose the nefarious goings - on .
so that’s plenty to be going on with — all but the first two series were in colour too , for those who care about that . there are also still available three chunky unabridged boxed cd sets of the excellent radio versions that were made in the early seventies , running to 70 - odd episodes , perfect for bath - time , in my experience .
for the whole platoon , from mainwaring to wilson , naive pike to spivvy joe walker , being male and therefore sex - addled , are instantly infatuated and led a merry dance , even the cameraman having a special soft - touch lens for zeta - jones , perhaps to compensate for the strange fixity of her features . i wonder if she’s had vitamin b ?
nacho business | nacho is really setting himself as the conflicted villain of better call saul , isn’t he ? when krazy - 8 ( hi , krazy - 8 ! ) brings him a short stack of cash , nacho almost lets him go with a warning… until hector taunts him , “who works for who , huh ? ” ( nacho responds by yanking krazy - 8 around by his hair and administering a savage beating . ) then when nacho picks up a drug shipment from gus’ los pollos hermanos crew , he’s supposed to take five drug bundles , but he insists : “don hector gets six . ” victor sticks a gun in nacho’s face , but gus tells his guys to let him have it , and nacho calmly walks out with the six bundles .
these are the sort of scrapes out reluctant hero get ' s into and it should all be pointless , totally far - fetched and silly , which it is ( winkler gets arrested and is initiated into a street gang at one point ) but nonetheless this is strangely fetching in its sublime stupidity and winkler is perfectly cast as the man who doesn ' t know what ' ll come next .
so why ? o why ? the film — produced by damian jones , whose credits include the iron lady , the biopic about mrs thatcher , and the alan bennett shows , the history boys and the lady in the van , and directed by oliver parker , who worked on the two st trinian’s films — provides no answer at all . perhaps a public enquiry is needed , although preferably not one chaired by sir john chilcot .
kelli rubin : the second i saw the trailer i knew we ' d be in for something special ( though i also thought that about tales from the hood , and i was not at all right ) . i was somewhat worried it might pan out to be little more than a mad tv sketch—
guess who ' s coming for dinner ! ”—but i still hoped that we ' d get some shining moments like in that winkingly kubrickian sketch .
but there was something else i needed from this movie . i ' ve seen my share of brutal 3 - hour slave narratives , and those films tend to send me to the sunken place : feeling mired in intractable issues , perpetually trapped on the bottom rung of society ' s ladder—when , of course , reality doesn ' t feel like that . so i get a little spine tingle when the genre expectations get flipped . sometimes we need less misery , more misery .
he heads to the offices of tv station kwbv , where he’s bought the ad space , and sets up a shoot in their parking lot : he’ll make an ad for his ad space , telling local businesses he’ll produce their ad for them . he realizes he can’t really show his face in the ad , though , because it’ll hurt his reputation as a lawyer . and his crew is hopeless at reading ad copy in front of a camera . so jimmy decides , “we’ll have to karloff this thing . ”
* this episode was a real stroll down breaking bad memory lane , wasn’t it ? along with krazy - 8’s cameo , tyrus ( gus’ henchman who stepped up after the chicken man slaughtered victor ) handled the drug exchange with nacho . plus , gus went to scope out the industrial laundry that we know later becomes the front for his meth superlab , and he reported his approval of the place to… lydia ! yes , the stevia - loving corporate exec who attempted to kill mike and walter white — and got a dose of ricin in response .
also , throughout the movie , bueller and principal ed rooney make contradicting statements about how much time is left in the school year . bueller refers to graduation being a few months away and claims he has to graduate in june . meanwhile , the principal says he won ' t let bueller
coast this last month
meaning the school year is already almost over . as principal rooney probably has a better grasp on the school year than bueller , his statement coupled with bueller ' s claim about june seems to allow for the june 5 date .
while at the game , bueller catches a foul ball , which granillo places sometime after 4 p . m . , given details from the box score . as granillo wrote in his original analysis ,
that leaves , at the most , one hour and forty - five minutes for their trips to the museum , sears tower , the lake , and sloane ' s house , while squeezing in two musical numbers during the parade before racing home at 5 : 55 p . m . seems a bit tough to squeeze all of that in for most normal people .
now that it ' s got a weekend under its belt , though , we thought we ' d wade in a little deeper . the movie didn ' t leave too many questions unresolved , but it did give viewers plenty to chew on . have we not been giving the tsa enough credit ? is
behold the coagula

plus , i don’t know how many of us could’ve taken it if chris had ended up in the hands of the cops—there’s enough in the world reminding us that privilege and brawn still have the upper hand . and speaking of , how did the armitages manage to get away with their annual auction ? what happened to the rest of their quarry ? was rod right , and there are handfuls of zombie black sex slaves sprinkled up and down the northeast corridor ? and how much of this is based on the kardashians’ real life ? most importantly : what saved chris from their fate ? was it because he didn’t lose his head during the many parts of the movie when he could have ?

rated r for drinking , drugging and mistress - sharing . running time : 1 hour 28 minutes .
pr : that milk though . of all the begging - for - audience - reaction moments that peele stocked this film with—the deer business , the passing glances of georgina acting creepy , the open door—that milk might have been the sleeper hit of the movie , at least in the theater we watched it in ( shout out to the century 16 in san leandro ! ) . for a film that hinged on playing with expectations about the specter of evil white folks , the shot of rose merrily sipping milk while she shopped for basketball players online was a hilarious dogwhistle . speaking of chappelle , that was a scene he must have loved .

they have assembled an eminent cast . toby jones plays captain mainwaring . bill nighy plays sergeant wilson , tom courtenay plays corporal jones , michael gambon plays private godfrey , while private pike is played by blake harrison from the inbetweeners , ian lavender having moved on , 40 years later , to play the local top brass brigadier pritchard . except they don’t .
all the main actors play not their parts — how could they ? what an impertinence that would be ! — but the great actors who created them first . so toby jones , excellent though he may be , plays arthur lowe playing captain mainwaring ; bill nighy , lovely as ever , does john le mesurier almost as well as john le mesurier , and so forth , right around the shop . of course these actors are good but by the same token they are all highly recognisable as themselves , so you constantly think : why is michael gambon trying to be arnold ridley , who was and forever will be godfrey ? what good does tom courtenay think he can do by impersonating clive dunn being corporal jones ?
even when they are told by mi5 that they have detected transmissions from a german spy in walmington , the troop can’t conceive that it could be a woman , probably not having seen gone girl or anything like that . “what ? a spy ? a real one ? i intend to catch him , ” says mainwaring , blinding himself to the possibility .
two performances stand out . the wonderful frank williams , now 84 , the huffy vicar in the original , appears again , delightfully , in the same role , suddenly bringing authenticity . and contrariwise , weedy pike has been equipped with a girlfriend here , an entirely new character called vera , fetchingly played by holli dempsey , with a freshness and reality made easier by her not being any kind of re - vamp .
but making the film ever so slightly more genuinely about the second world war — even showing the nazis , including possibly hitler himself , in the reich chancellery , ordering the cobra mission — stirs an unease the original never did . that was a genuine period piece , this is a fake . think even a little about the realities of that war now and any laughter , even at the most harmless pratfalls , sticks in the throat .

ferris bueller
has some cheerfully zany scenes , but lacks the originality and verve of hughes ' previous telltale teen comedies .
what should ' ve been a joyful romp turns into a stale , sour - edged celebration of the new conformist , an affluent , technology - addled cherub without a rebellious whim in his brain .
it is most curious that hughes , who is obviously clever and talented , has failed to develop the intriguing situation he has set in motion .
[ while risky business ] suggested that money isn ' t everything , ferris bueller insists just the opposite .
broderick is remarkably likeable as the arrogant , spoilt brat , ruck is excellent as his melancholy friend and jones almost steals the show .
though it sinks to teen - film cliches at times , the film is undeniably iconic and memorable , and , at times , strangely brilliant and haunting ( the museum scene being the best example of this ) .

on a spring day in the 1980s , a high school senior named ferris bueller faked being sick to get out of going to school . the charming truant then convinced his girlfriend , sloane peterson , and best friend , cameron frye , to join him on an adventure through downtown chicago .
hughes never explicitly revealed the date in the movie . but sportswriter larry granillo wanted to figure it out . so he looked into the chicago cubs ' 1985 season trying to decipher the specific baseball game the teens attend in the movie in hopes of solving the decades - long mystery . and he did .
granillo was able to use the few details hughes reveals about the game to pinpoint the exact date .
and it occurred to me that the cubs footage they showed on the tv screen , combined with the audio , had to have come from a real game ,
granillo told the huffington post over email .
i pulled up baseball reference ( still the greatest gift the internet ever created ) , and with a little digging into the game logs of the players mentioned on screen , i found the game .
the cubs lost to the atlanta braves on june 5 , 1985 , 4 - 2 , but the movie doesn ' t show the school - skipping friends staying until the end anyway , so the loss shouldn ' t have soured their
we ' re young and anything is possible
mood . and even if he did stay at the game , as a resident of the chicago suburbs , bueller should already have been used to the cubs losing . i say this with regret as a cubs fan , but c ' mon , the team hasn ' t won a world series championship since 1908 - - back when the ottoman empire was still around .
