Eyes Wide Shut


A haunting dreamscape, a riveting tale of suspense, a compelling psychosexual journey, and a major milestone in the careers of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Stanley Kubrick's, "Eyes Wide Shut," was his last motion picture ever made. Last but most definitely NOT least. This film is complex, overly-symbolic and excessively dramatic. Kubrick, like always, has captured the viewers complete attention with his brilliance throughout this film by making you wonder. Eyes Wide Shut is exceptionally thought provoking; the answers are not, without a doubt, handed directly to you on a silver platter. This extraordinary film emphasizes how sexual fantasies, when revealed, have the power to forever change a relationship. It understands that a measure of fantasy is necessary to keep even the best relationships afloat, however, when those fantasies are threatened, such as with the truth, the core of those relationships can be spun into a whirl wind. Maddeningly deliberate in its pace, Eyes Wide Shut, slowly but surely keeps the viewers attention even though its steadily rate may catch them at a bore. I found myself to be very fascinated and curious during the entire viewing of the film for I have such an appreciation for movies that make my eyes cringe and head tilt. I believe that if a film is unable to make you search for an answer yourself then it is not worth watching, and through this Kubrick motion picture, that is exactly what he has accomplished. Although there may be some that disagree, I strongly and undoubtedly think that Eyes Wide Shut was a perfect way to end his memorable career.

this film is handed.....☆☆☆☆☆
