Scenes from a marriage

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2003)

it's more easy to be good and obedient, to follow all the rules of society. It's more difficult to follow your dreams and desires.that is real hard! Don't get me wrong.I like moral questions,especially in arts:cinema or literature When they are treated with intelligence not like a preaching(that's dull!)
I love Stanley Kubrick films,they always said he was moralist(To many,he is more an Iconoclast) I saw EYES WIDE SHUT many times,I'm rediscovering new things this rich couple:TOM &NICOLE are cultured and educated but when she tells him she had desires for another man his secure' good faithfull husband look'collapsed.He was educated to be in that wayalways polite he was a doctor,he thought everybody will counts on him forever(including his wife and daughter),that his life will be perfect always.When he realised that he is not aware of certain things,he is afraid or confused,guilty or excited?. OK,this is our first impression of him before his mysterious journeys,because the film misguide us in another direction that got to do with prostitutes,orgies and a homicide? At the end of the road we are puzzled of what we have experienced I realized that Bill or Tom in many scenes of the film,he opens his wallet to give money(lots of) He is rich,is he thinking that in America all the problems are solved if you pay it?
As someone suggested: Was Bill's jeweled mask left on his pillow by Alice as an accusation, or by Ziegler's friends as a third and last warning, a death threat like the horse's head in the bed in The Godfather?
Just notice when Tom arrived at his home late at night ,his wife is always yawning or is already asleep He is absolute a `celebrity father' who doesn't see his daughter to much but give her all the toys she asks for. Kubrick was right in casting two real celebrities for his film.
