Eyes Wide Shut

Eyes wide shut is an amazing film with great philosophical themes and messages, unlike other reviews that call this movie "Pornographic garbage". This is one of my favorites film because it prompts you to ask questions and doesn't give you the answers. What does it mean to give yourself to another body and mind? That was a huge question on my mind after I pondered a couple hours as to what the movie means. Yet, even though it has a meaning, young kids and immature adults (hence, whoever called this movie porno trash). Though I usually put an age for my reviews, for this one I can't. Sadly Common Sense Media says I have to... It really depends on the maturity level and how you interpret the film. For example, the first time I saw this movie I was 13 years old. It was on Netflix so I decided to give it a try since Kubrick was my favorite director (still is). At first I didn't know what to think of it. But later that night as I thought about it, I was overcome with questions and confusion and finally made a decision. What is the movie about? I think it's about intimacy and how that compares to sex without mental relations. How does sex with someone you love compare to sex with someone you barely even know. This is so evident in the EXTREMELY GRAPHIC secret society-party-orgy scene. Many people have sex yet it is not titilating, it's disturbing with barely any moaning at at. Characters also smoke pot. Language contained about 20 f words, not much else. There was no violence. So in the end, EYES WIDE SHUT is a disturbing, sometimes satirical, and thoughtful movie. Though there is a lot of full frontal nudity + the orgy scene which lasts for 4 minutes, there is a meaning, it's just very hard to find. It all depends on maturity, not age. Common Sense got this film wrong.

The film focuses on the darkest aspects of sex, and how it links to money, morality, high-society, and drugs. It is very good, but there is nothing here for anyone under 18.

If you have to read an in depth synopsis to get this film, then it’s missed the mark . If you want to see a lot of naked women, by all means watch. If you want an entertaining evening with the wife, pick something else.

The reason why I bought it was because vinessa shaw was in it I thought she would be in other scenes but it’s alright.

But this movie best before kubrick died. There scene where satan on castle. Nudity, language.

This movie contains explicit sexuality.
