2024-12-21 14:38:41 +0000 UTCJust finished my first watch!! love that you guys brought up Kubricks “invisible” directing, had that same thought while watching. It’s all so beautiful and full of style yet you really don’t notice the direction, like you don’t notice that someone is guiding you through it, you just feel like you’re witnessing it yourself. And every frame is conveying EXACTLY what it needs to. Eyes wide shut is the perfect title cuz his eyes are sprung open to all the distractions around him, in this case erotic, but they’re shut to understanding his wife and the simplicity of how mature adults think. Fantasies are part of life, and like y’all said, to remain committed is always just a choice. Don’t think this woulda played for me had I watched it younger Sorry for the essay lol I appreciate you guys, loved this episode!!!
