I have not seen Eyes Wide Shut yet because I was fearful of having to see Tom Cruise naked. I think Kubrick found the dark side of nature, especially sex, intriguing. It is hinted at in The Shining. The furry going down on a "respectable" guest. People even get turned on with defecation and peeing which, to me, is gross but they are out there. I have not yet been in the right mind set to see this yet but I think I will wait until after Christmas. I have to watch White Christmas this year still and be grossed out by how thin Vera Ellen is. Your presentation of Eyes Wide Shut has made me more interested in seeing the filmBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-10196131193278032722014-12-12T15:29:46.861-08:002014-12-12T15:29:46.861-08:00Well, since it's technically a Christmas movie...Well, since it's technically a Christmas movie this would be a good time to watch it. I'll have to keep an eye out for that review, it should be interesting to hear what you have to say on it.John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-46532423358793124812014-12-12T10:48:01.307-08:002014-12-12T10:48:01.307-08:00I enjoy plenty of his work...just not 2001.

We'll see if that's changed.Wendell Ottleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472743980681912924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-54855415430671277832014-12-12T07:57:17.173-08:002014-12-12T07:57:17.173-08:00It's definitely a film that requires you to be...It's definitely a film that requires you to be in a certain mindset, and considering it's almost three hours it does require a bit of patience, but if you can manage that you should be fine. I remember you mentioned not being a fan of 2001, but if you enjoyed any of Kubrick's other films you should be okay.John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-42085527878414655822014-12-12T07:48:27.410-08:002014-12-12T07:48:27.410-08:00Very cynical, indeed.

I've only seen it once years ago and didn't really enjoy it despite all the nudity. It's probably time for a rewatch as I'm a much different viewer now than I was then.Wendell Ottleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472743980681912924noreply@blogger.com
