An amazing film that has one problem with it.

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2000)

I finally watched this movie and i found it to be an extremely good movie. It has so many memorable scenes. And I am somewhat dissapointed by all the negative reviews it got, but I can see why people didnt like it. All my friends who told me it sucked are "casual viewers." I could have told them they were going to hate it before they watched it. They could not have took in what a film addict like I did. Though I did enjoy the movie a lot. My one gripe was the use of nudity. I'm not saying it was bad, I'm fine with nudity. It's just that I think Kubric used it in the wrong places. Like in the party scene with Mandy, she didnt really have to be completely nude. She could have had the towel on her the whole scene, not just at the end. And I really didnt need to see that dead girls nude figure. That overhead shot of her kinda discusted me. Other than that I loved the movie. The acting was great, accept in the begining, the way they spoke was annoying(especially Kidman.)And the lighting is absolutely brilliant, it really set the mood. And of course the music fit in perfectly, what else from Kubric. 9/10
