| I just caught
Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, and I must say that its the sloooowest,
dumbest movie he had ever made. No wonder he died. He would not be able to bear the shit that everyone will say about the film. The story is so linear and boring. Nicole Kidman confesses that she still lusts after some guy other than Mr. Tom Smiley Cruise. Shorty gets upset and cruises the streets and gets accosted by a hooker. Moral dilemma sets in,and he pays for not sleeping with the hooker. So he then meets a long lost friend, who tells him about an orgy thing. Shorty gets all excited and goes, even though he's not on the invited list. Everyone there is wearing a mask and a cloak, and Cruise guy tries to blend in. But he gets found out and thrown out, after a girl there offers herself in place of him for the gate-crashing punishment. Next day Tommy boy finds out the long lost friend had been made into putty, and girl sacrifice OD on drugs and occupies a permanent place at the morgue. Tommy gets all upset again. Then wife finds out about the mask, because Smiley was stupid enough to leave it at home. He then confesses all to her. Both cry. I guess about the betrayal, even though no one did no one. Then wife tells Tommy that she still loves him, and end of story. Oh, Shorty visits the hooker again (before confession) and finds out the she's HIV positive. So good thing he didn't get it on with her. Problem with the movie is that its got no climax. Hell, it don't even have no foreplay! If Kubrick was trying out for some porno, then he's really frigid. If its art, then it really is an abstract with no point. Watch it at your own peril. Leonard Tan I think the lack of climax is the point? Think coitus
interruptus. It's not the best of Kubrick's work, I must say, but
I'd recommend it on the following basis: |
Nicole: "For God's
sake, Tom, why don't you try using your hands to remove my earring for
me!" |
