I loved this film. It was brilliant, amazing. I would love to sit around with bunches of people and watch this film every weekend.
WHY!?!? What a stupid question. Because it makes me look and sound smart. While all these people are sitting around, bored s***less by the plot and the story line, trying to hide their hard-ons from the orgy scenes, and the fondling, and the wink-wink-nudge-nudge, I can sit with my beer, and spout on for hours about how Kubrick's vision is meant to show us the light. Hell, I could sit and make up a thousand stories about how he was testing each and every one of us, trying to make us see how we feel about our own sexuality, and about our own relationships.
And it would be fun. These people would stare at me blankly, thinking I am some sort of Academic GOD like creature, while they mentally cursed themselves for being such retards.
The film is good, its not a masterpiece, but it can keep you interested if you watch the movie closely and piece together a story from its rather disjointed plotline. The artwork is good, not His best, but still colourful and beautiful to look at. Kidman does okay, Cruise is kind of still doing his Mission Impossible generic hero guy thing.
See this film, even if you just want an excuse to stare at some ass for a couple of hours. It will broaden your mind, not because of the movie itself, but because you'll be able to sit around an make up your own intellectual insights for it. And mental exercise is always good, even if it comes from a lacklustre film such as this one.
