Shh, don't say it

I swear I haven't seen the scene depicted in the movie, maybe some of you have, shh, don't say it, that's the rule.

Each of us has our own rules for living in the world. In other words, it is called the bottom line. No matter who you praise, it should also include those you criticize. The wife has the bottom line of the wife, and the sexual fantasies and promiscuity in the dream make the wife suffer because she cannot forgive herself; although the rich old man in Hungary hooks up with the married woman, he will no longer be the overlord under the rejection of the beautiful woman. ; Although the prostitute fell to the bottom of the society, she also told the truth about her AIDS; the beauty pageant champion died of smoking marijuana because of the unbearable humiliation; even the most hated by everyone is the biggest sponsor in this movie. , but he's also maintaining his bottom line: Shhh, don't say it.

What is the point of this film? Is it to criticize the big money lord? But he has money. Is it praising prostitutes? But she is a prostitute. neither. Its significance lies in subverting the accustomed measure of value that most of us are accustomed to. Our doctor, Mr., has a happy family and a successful career. But when we remove these beautiful halos, it turns out that he is the saddest person in the whole movie. He helped the big benefactor to deal with the abuse of beautiful women; the reason he went to have fun behind his back was because his wife did the same; he was ignorant of the person who confessed to him, and then treated it frivolously; he heard that prostitutes got it AIDS, the smile on his face is no longer elegant. He is slutty, frivolous, and hypocritical. He has no sense of proportion and does not know himself. Instead, he feels that he is very capable. As long as he is willing to spend money, there is nothing that he cannot do. He can also take out the doctor's certificate in fast food restaurants, hotels, and hospitals, and he can find out the information he wants to know. But it was his "ability" that led him astray. He looks beautiful, but his heart has never been better. The statement of his wife's sexual dream made him pickled, the prostitute fell ill, and it made him like swallowing mouse feces. He strayed into the big money master meeting and got into trouble. Well, in fact, he "also thought so" at the beginning. A person's life may be loved, it may be tiresome, but only our doctor's life is so depressing and pathetic. And it is precisely such a person that most of us admire and admire in real life. Isn't this great irony and deep sadness?

Director Ku's film speaks realistically, and ends with his own view on life: Just Time. But let's take another look at the movie's title: Eyes, Open, Close. After seeing it clearly, I still close my eyes and have fun. Isn't this a profound sadness? It deserves our deep consideration.

    The plot is very exciting! It's really eye-opening! Nicole Kidman's acting skills are also great! The rhythm of the movie is also very good and it is worth watching.

    A / Eyes Wide Shut can be understood as the physiological state of struggling when the dream is about to wake up, and eventually people choose to continue to sleep on the edge of the nightmare. The one star was deducted because he didn't like the performance of Tom's expressions from the beginning to the end, and the temple section where he was wearing a mask was almost ten stars. The pinnacle of BTW acting was "Magnolia" in the same year. After reading the posthumous work, I felt that there were many misunderstandings about Kubrick before. / Five stars after watching Lolita
