darn, my keyboard can’t write letters in reverse.
I didn’t read your post, but Irreversible is my all-time stupidest movie.
Cue Peabody, because although I disagree with him, he’s had the only interesting take on the film I’ve ever read.
I’m curious as to why you think that, Jerry. It’s definitely not for everyone, that much is for sure.
Dequinix- we’ve been through this many times, but it boils down to this… if you want to show Euro’s hottest starlet being raped by a faggot for her real real-life husband’s career-benefit, that’s fine…but don’t pretend you’re showing truth. And beyond that, the lie that Noe had his actors making up their lines is a complete lie. They telegraph the story line more strictly than a NASA mission. Noe is a slave to his own plot. Hawks is laughing at him.
There is something wrong with the way you are writing.
Oh hell. This doesn’t help the people who try to convince us the film isn’t gimmicky.
And I don’t think you make a particularly strong case that Bill Harford isn’t extremely wealthy. He lives in the biggest apartment a doctor could possibly have in Manhattan.
Oh why am I even bothering.
The ultimate style over substance. Someone might counter this is fine, as film is a visual medium, but when you’re talking about rape and extreme violence in an apparently serious manner then you’ve got to take some responsibility.
I saw a press conference for Noe’s latest film, which pretty much suggested Noe doesn’t get involved with the actors much and focuses on the visuals/aesthetics. This adds to the feeling that Noe is simply a technician, which I got from watching Irreversible. Basically, he’s an exploitative showpony.
After I saw this I had to take a rape-shower. It was like Streep in SILKWOOD. Then I curled in to the fetal position and cried and twitched all night. Why did this movie have to happen. Why?

micheal Chion wrote a bfi book on eyes wide shut and claimed an thang… he said that, seconds before cruise enters the bedroom with sleeping wife alice who placed the mask on his pillow before she went to sleep… go back to the drinking beer… he wouldn’t of been drinking a budweiser… problem is Kubrick perceived bill harford as harford, or Harrison Ford or… perhaps lots of the character he played… the man portriat society citizen of our time… but I think to the hubbub of actual people who watched the film… they looked at him as rich… but he ins’t… he… in the eyes of kubrick and cruise-tom… are middle lower class… we are of course shone what rich is… we see it in the form of the superrich… the underbelly… or the Overbellow… or The High Ground… There is a new york city society that exists… every day at around seven thirty am… they become the outside air of a penthouse… they revel in it… the archetypal fuel of the powerful… seen as all of them.. simultaneous become… and… in their becoming they look at each other whilst also existing and, in a way… not looking… the stalking, the voyeursihness is subtly fickle… they are, simply altogether… at the highest peak of all buildings seen.. inorient of the temples in the upper east side… I got back to the budweiser that cruise drinks… he wouldnt of been drinking that… no… although out of season… he would perhaps ordered for the holiday, a brisk lager of the samuel adams cherry wheat array… heinkien, corona of… the glass bottle arm… canless… no… their rent had to of been at least five thousand dollars a month… if not more… and we see… that Kubrick and Cruise indeed so rich… they don’t have a fucking clue what’s lower than them… I live in new york city now… but.. .before that.. I lived in the amazing hellwhore of philadelphian suburbia… this vast past was not just a simple sound of the poor, middle of then rich class… with a breath of contentionitory suffice stems that reach to the brand of lowerupper, middle maidless diddle nots of; them thee in the middle;—-of being a family in the middle-upper squadron who is just not ready to buy out a maid as we all know that those who can often find the boy in verge of becoming a teen becomes so outrageously horny that he, while cruising in the late night hours up the stairs to the third floor bathroom to pee, does, bump into the maid and immediately enters coitus for the hell of the sake of it… THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN… but it will in Eyes Wide Shut… What is this? Well… After the second in which Tom Cruise sips at the canned budweiser, something happens… the sip end, and Cruise vanishes… and reappers infront of the door… now… Micheal Chion feels this as a kind of symbolism inpureproof that the entire film is a metaphor for the reality of the Cruise’s Unborn child. We watch the film two more times and find the idea absolutely ridiculous. Then we watch it again. Without hope. But. All in the span of a reading, in this… it take a few seconds but perhaps four years ago happens. And, you’ve been watching Eyes Wide Shut every six months… Plus the initial theatrical release that you did see. We then figure on link to what Micheal Chion said. That, if the film is about Cruise and Kidman’s unborn son… it seems that it might make sense… that, infact, the entire movie is a journey of explanation. Alas! The last line in the film is undeniable. Kidman sez “FUCK” … and so they do… and so… they have.. the child… a boy… that is the prophecy known… We think about this. But. More proof is needed. Three years pass since the theatrical event of EWS… the dvd generation becomes real… we rent a dvd of IЯЯéveЯsible… and… the picture becomes clear… IЯЯéveЯsible proves, perhaps on a subconscious level… more realer … real as the reflection that is… we it happen… that is the darkness found of light seen… The similarities of Eyes Wide Shut and IЯЯéveЯsible can be seen: first, by the casting of real life married actors, Tom Cruise to Vincent… Kidman to Monica Belluci… Let us now jump to the amazing Symbol that can not be denied as mere coincedence: AT THE END of IЯЯéveЯsible we see Monica Belluci’s character looking at a Pregnancy test… sitting on a couch: she smiles… the camera flips… and shows the Poster of a SPACE ODYSSEY 2001… we see the unborn star child of both babies in both films… the story of how these spirits came about.. is first… done by the creation of eyes wide shut itself… IЯЯéveЯsible was filmed… in the form of a floating camera… the camera eye may cause nausea for some… but… it is simply the watching eye of an angel yet born… weaving and waving and flying to its destiny… there is an incomprehensible orgy scene in both films… IЯЯéveЯsible can be perceived as a makere… a remake in reverse… the evidence provided concludes Micheal Chions prediction as nothing more than totally correct… we can wondermore about it all by watching the next film that noe made… thee Of ENTER THE VOID… we can only wonder about it… not… anything at all to eyes wide shut… no … that is not why we are here… but… I believe that Noe is our candle maker… alas… most people are unaware of this reality… the Shut Wide Eyes Conspiracy… as we call it… NOE is a greatly director… of… I would like to see what he could do with a nice sized budget… for now… we will waite for the VOID which… as far as Im aware hath not, did not.. has not… had a theatrical presents in the us of Am ma yet…
