Nobody gets it!

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2000)

I've read all the user comments, as well as many of the reviews, and as far as I can tell nobody has understood this film. It is a meditation on the nature of sexual reality and fantasy, what people see on the surface and how they really feel deep down ("Eyes Wide Shut", get it?). I could spell all this out, but instead let me just point this (obvious) thing out: the movie starts with a party at a Manhattan apartment in which the Tom Cruise character is greeted by two figures wearing masks; the movie ends with a party at a Long Island mansion in which the Tom Cruise character is greeted by a figure wearing a mask. Now work it out.
