dieser Film ist die beste Analyse der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehung!!! Aber Vorsicht: nicht zu empfehlen unter 30 Jahren!!!

[OPAL0004]

@boxing...the parkeeper?

[Barqu3ntine]

Tom Cruise's best movie. And yes, the lighting is amazing.

[StrawberryJungle]

@Barqu3ntine As in all of Stanley Kubrick's films :)

[DaylightWasting]

If you want to understand the real meaning of the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" then you have to bear in mind that Stanley Kubrick said, "Observancy is a dying art".

min 1:30 Listen to the musician´s last names... McVeigh, Flemming and Burma(n). All people and places related in one way or another to mind control.

[oliveriosteinn]

Bale said that he mimicked Tom Cruise expressions to get that psychotic thing going in American Psycho.

[Boxingmagnet74]

2:14. That's Stanley Kubrick in the background.

[icarus212001]

@Boxingmagnet74 Doubtful

[Boxingmagnet74]

@icarus212001 His IMDB page says he has a cameo in this scene.And he did have a pretty bushy beard

[TheStockwell]

@Boxingmagnet74 IMDB has it wrong. It's not Kubrick. This is according to Kubrick's daughter, who DID appear in the film. He didn't have the actor's impulse that other directors have. BUT!, he did supply the EVA breathing in "2001"! (Again, according to his daughter.)

[1805movie]

@Boxingmagnet74 Indeed it did.

[0Adamska]

whys bill putting his mouth to the beer glass and hardly drinking anything at all

[flipwiggins]

Jeez, that cellphone looks like a brick!!!!!

[Advent3546]

See that bearded guy in the back as Nightingale is sitting down with Cruise at 2:13?? That's Kubrick himself!!!!

[jutubaeh]

rustic pianists..

[JediGTI]

I love the use of Christmas Lights/Trees in most of the scenes-especially this one.

[spd13062]

Todd Field...great actor..great director.

[scoretosettle]

tom cruise is every bit a good actor as christian bale, actually, i think bale would have fucked this movie up

[jimmyjanglin]

bill thinks he's batman

[eulyle]

Brad Mehldau plays " Blame it on my Youth " in background with his trio.

[jakespick]

The cinematography in this scene is extraordinary. That's Kubrick for ya.

[roryphelan]

This looks amazing

[Iker122]

the guy who played Nick(Todd Field) looks and sounds like Edward Norton.. did anyone else notice?

[CH3MIS7RY]

@Iker122 very very true

[ffionaffiona666]

When I look at Tom's face I can only see Christian Bale. Weird? Plus - I think if Bale had played the part - the movie would have been twice a scary and four times as powerful.

[supergoing7]

Yeah, Cruise does look a bit like Bale, especially in the close-up shots in the cafe. I think he was perfect for the role though.

[MClaudiusMarcellus]

Kubrick really could have used you.

[ffionaffiona666]

When I'm having sex I put on the orgy music (caroline pook) and imagine I'm in the scene. Wonderful fantasy stuff.

[coolbrett]

funny, because I always thought Bill Harford reminded me of Patrick Bateman. Must be the suits lol. And was American Psycho set in the same city as Eyes Wide Shut??

[IndianaDylan]

@ffionaffiona666 I think Bale's voice isn't as well fit. He sounds a little too gruffy sometimes when he gets quieter which doesn't suit the optimist-under-distress aspect of the character at all, a character trait which goes hand in hand with some of the films more prominent themes.

[ffionaffiona666]

Good points Indiana. Maybe now that Cruise has more of a tarnished image it might sit better with the dark tones of the movie. And Bale does carry the darker image with him which, you're right, doesnt play with the optimism crushed syndrome.

Another point about Cruise is that the whole Cruise-Kidman thing got in the way of the plot for me - but directors have to go with what they've got and perhaps if it wasn't Cruise-Kidman then he wouldn't have had backing for the movie to be made

[Expiate]

@ffionaffiona666 Bale is not even close to Tom's acting, I really enjoy watching him, he makes great performances, but Cruise is just the ultimate actor.

[ffionaffiona666]

@Expiate

Cruise may be many things but 'a great actor' I don't think so. He's like Harrison Ford - an 'everyman' actor. Nothing wrong with that but acting? No.

[susanvaughn101]

@ffionaffiona666 Remeber Christian Bale in American psycho? weah he would have been great in EWS

[twinandtonic]

This Bar is actually in London! it's called Madame JoJo's! A fantastic place!

[Djinga]

I wanna go there ! Have you been there ? What's it like ? Is it a good place to take your mrs. ?

[Djinga]

Best scene in the film, this bar is so amazing it makes you wanna be there ! Tom Cruise is a great actor ! Great movie !

[cookiemonsterstreet]

What a brilliant movie. One of the most complex allegorical works ever created.

[roryphelan]

could you explain that to me?

[wallydupa]

Best movie ever.
