Some intriguing points of intersection with another Frederic Raphael-written film about a floundering marriage: Two for the Road with Finney and Hepburn. For starters, its last dialogue is
"Bitch." "Bastard."

i thought this was a good point:https://www.screenslate.com/features/298
Among Eyes Wide Shut’s strangest effects is that it feels like a video game: its dialogue is clumsily literal, repetitive, and expository; its plot is linear and structured like a quest; its protagonist encounters almost exclusively non-player characters, simple ciphers with no purpose beyond helping or obstructing him. Its simulacrum New York recalls the game-worlds traversed by Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh in eXistenZ (from the same year), where the plot stalls if the players don’t use the correct phrases.

Really tempted to see the new year in watching this but not sure my wife would be up for it.

Somehow I only saw this film for the first time this year. I think I'd have enjoyed it more if it'd gone all Mulholland Drive in the last 20 minutes, instead of finishing on a total damp squib of a shopping trip.

that video game theory is p cool, eyes wide shut does kind of have an fmv horror game feeling about it

the whole simulacrum thing is just kubrick 101 post-lolita. there is a quote by him about how film is not a photograph of reality, but a photograph of a photograph of a reality.

Finally found out why Harvey Keitel got fired by Kubrick while making Eyes Wide Shut. Gary Oldman on the specific reason here & the general principle of it for Mr Keitel underneath. pic.twitter.com/RilIs25sMT— Tom Reagan’s Hat (@RufusTSuperfly) May 13, 2022

keitel otm, another dumb and bad film, sorry anthony, sorry morbs kubrick only made one good film and this isn't it
― mark s, Saturday, 14 May 2022 17:15 (one year ago) link
wrong!!!!!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 14 May 2022 17:23 (one year ago) link
keitel was otm. telling an actor he can't walk through a door properly after 68 takes is disrespectful in the extreme. and fucking crazy, too.
mark s should specify which kubrick film he thinks is the one good one, so everyone who likes just one kubrick film can see if they agree which one is the good one

it's a strongly worded opinion. like most of yours.

i’m sure ol’ stan was a frustrating guy to work for at times but “i had to walk through a doorway a bunch of times” is not exactly a chilling tale of directorial tyranny run rampant
for some reason i thought this was the kubrick film mark s thought was good!

barry lyndon is the one that IS good (implausibly good)
― mark s, Saturday, 14 May 2022 18:38 (one year ago) link
how odd. that's not the one I think is his good one. one of us must be wrong!
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Saturday, 14 May 2022 18:47 (one year ago) link
barry lyndon is truly awesome but come on eyes wide shut is a dream!!!!
keitel: he made me walk through a door 68 times
me: sounds like a kubrick movie

No director should demand anything of an actor with the range of Winston Wolfe to Arkansas State Police Detective Hal Slocumb.

I just watched the Cannibal Holocaust ep of Cursed Films, and from that perspective, yeah, team Kubrick

not sure which film I had a worse time in the cinema watching, eyes wide shut or a.i., I think the eyes have it.

I’ve heard pollack somewhere make basically the same complaint about doing that role, but iirc his attitude was more “this is confusing and annoying but it still beats working”
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Sunday, 15 May 2022 18:42 (one year ago) link
I can easily envision Keitel in that role--he'd probably lose some of Pollack's superficial slickness, otherwise he would have been a good fit.

Sex itself is, I think, pretty low on the list of things this movie's about but ymmv
― Dwigt Rortugal (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 October 2023 18:38 (six months ago) link
really? “let’s fuck”?
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 October 2023 19:15 (six months ago) link
The last line of the picture, and it’s just “Fuck.” (And it’s a punchline.)
― Dwigt Rortugal (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 October 2023 19:41 (six months ago) link
okay well i mean don’t be coy the idea idea that eyes wide shut isn’t about sex is an unusual one you have to admit, say more
