Intelligent, Amazing, Life Time Interesting

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2001)

For the first time, first Kubrick's movie... How could I wish for better start. The title of the movie say to me that the main message of it is in conciliation. That effects great on a marriage between Dr.Bill and Alice Hartford. Eyes Wide Shut is a title that greatly say and point out that need for conciliation between a couple on some parts of relationship. The line the couple should follow is sex (between them). The end it's self, says much of where's there a threat of dreams for them. Again this thought is well in the air: 'Women are rotten and men are fools'. I love the movies saying that ultimate truth. (me? -male)
All begins with attack of 'the rotten' one on a 'fool' cause of the lack of suspicion Alice gets from Bill. Then Bill gets in his face all the strings her fidelity stands on. Alice mighty say: "...and I hardly even mooove." Oh Nicole, my rotten one. Bill then gets in a numerous situations to get even with Alice. Along with other circumstances, he on his journey of understanding fidelity, gets immediately hit by a girl he hardly knows, get saved from getting HIV virus, get hit by sexual ethics on his head in a store. Near the end he discovers that he and his family were saved by a beautiful redhead who's paid it with her life. Through all that time he is terribly confused by meaning and using of fidelity and cost of unfidelity. Remember the time he got home from the orgy and find Alice smiling and laughing in her dream. He awakes her and she turns cry wildly 'Oh honey I just dreamt of being in the middle of gang-bang and smiling in your face.' Oh yes, the rotten one in her very best! Then, she at home has prepared him a little surprise as a mask on his pillow that he lost and which in a first place say nothing. At that sight, even Alice is asleep, young doctor crashed on her feeling guitly (of nothing he had done!). But, what would happened it Bill have discovered 'what where rainbow ends' on a start of a movie??
I loved Sydney Pollack's acting.
I will have to learn more of Kubrick's work to know how to describe all his skill. It's easily seen that he shows all the scenes constantly on high level. It's amazing how the movie isn't boring at all, very much smooth on it's all length with the slight cut on the end. Music is grand here.
I heard Stanley Kubrick was perfectionist. Who can mess with that? Only rotten can...
