The best film of the year!

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 1999)

As of December 5, 1999 Eyes Wide Shut is definitley the best film of the year. Only three other films released this year have been close to it, Bringing out the Dead, The Insider, and American Beauty.

One thing that makes me angry is when people say this film is about sex. This film is definitley not about sex. Anyone who says that either didn't see the film, or didn't understand it. The film may deal with sexual issues, but it is not about sex. It is about jealousy, and sexual obsession. It is about betrayal and trust.
Directed by Stanley Kubrick, one of the greatest film makers ever, and starring Nicole Kidman (who should win an oscar for her portrayal) and Tom Cruise (who deserves the very least a nomination). Stanley Kubrick puts us on the streets of New York after hours. We follow Cruise's character (Bill) on the streets as he is tempted and lured into a sexual world, but will Bill do it, or does he have enough faith? This is not Kubrick's best film, but one of his finest, and definitley one of the top 10 films of the 90's. I feel it may get cheated during Oscar time, but the movie will always stay high in my heart.
God bless Stanley Kubrick. He was truly a magnificent man. I never met the man in my whole life, but in my short 16 year old life so far he is the closest person to me who has ever died. And I have to say, I had a tear in my eye when I heard he past away. So please, viddy this film, you wont be dissapointed.
My rating: A+!
