In this movie eyes is shut on everything...

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2004)

I can't judge about this film- is it good or is it bad, because verily I don't understand it `from soup to nuts'. Maybe I am too young to watch films like this, but nevertheless I try to express my humble opinion about how I realize `Wide eyes shut'. So I want to start from the film title- `wide eyes shut' it is really hard to imagine this in logical mind, but we need just to look at antonym of word `shut', it is open, so then our eyes wide open we see everything what surround us and our range of `visibility' is `wide'. So in this movie eyes is shut on everything also `wide'. The man called `Dr. William Harford `(Tom Cruise) live in `mask world', he is doctor, he have family- wife, kid. He live appealing just to this valuables (wife, kid and job) he don't see what really happening in nowadays earth- violence, pain, anger, drugs, whoredom, walking on the blade of knife and balancing between life and death. But then Bills wife `Alice Harford'(Nicole Kidman) tell him a story how she faith him with naval officer in her `mind', his life start to ruin down and from this moment in doctors mind start infighting and he step out to the street. This leaving home and searching for `dirty' love (sllaper) is like revenge and some kind of protest for hurt feelings. Doctor wants to return like for like. But street isn't friendly for `masked' mankind, because there are no rules like in our normal life. You don't need to put mask on you real `face' in the street and in our real instinctive first, because street `open your eyes' and you see what really happened that our human being is going straight to the `Stone Age'. And author of this movie wants to say that our `masks', our cultural heritage is the one and only thing which help us to stay human, and vanquish human nature (instinct of freaky and dirty love). So that's all I want to say.
