Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
这部剧就是美国人试图和20年前的灾难和解的一种呈现吧。平静的生活被意外打破，飞机上的上千乘客降落在偏远的小镇，外来的宾客和当地人一起上演了一场交织着悲痛泪水欢笑和温暖的戏剧，我们看到的是普通人的爱和热情。于此短短五天的相聚是美好的擦肩而过，在此之前我们是陌生人，在此之后我们又将分道扬镳，但每一个人都永远地被改变了。
跟在《超脱》之后看这片儿的感受更加奇妙，相似的议题元素，相反的观点态度，活一世究竟是灵魂和肉体的相互“抽离”还是彼此“接纳”…最后这个女人美到发光…高潮是自己给自己的，堪称最妙…
再来补官摄，无论是立意词曲还是表演都是很完整的作品。突然想起本来2020是可以看到澳洲版卡司来上海演出的啊。。希望平行世界里已经看了。
故事设定真的很有意思，如果鸭鸭们都是里奥这种的，我立马花钱买一晚。
印象最深的应该是用圣经来和语言不通的人对话吧。
P.S.配乐点睛之笔
这部影片显然对性工作者做了过于完美的演绎，但有一点是无疑的：对于买来的性，都是从突破自己的道德防线开始，然后是对性工作者的好奇打探，然后成为一种游戏周旋。当然，性是需要启发的，不论这经验从何而来，只要利用得当，它就不会只是生活的点缀那么简单。
现实中可不会碰到用单次服务的价格就买到高质量的情绪价值的机会哦，看看日本花魁喝酒陪聊的收费，幻想就是幻想。
你看，男人招🐓不用前戏，女人买🦆还要先过心里这一关，男人完事拉起裤子走人，女人事后还要更深层次的探讨，一些个两性鸿沟。多一星给男主美好的胴体。
非亲密关系也可以很美，互相照亮过就是珍贵。
天降圣鸭！衰老不是最可怕的，最可怕的是老了没钱请鸭，所以，女人，趁着年轻多多挣钱吧。
女人在性上的禁锢太深了，这是社会给我们扣上的，也是我们自己扣上的。希望我们不需要等待老去的时候才敢去解开它。
pleasure is a wonderful thing.好温柔的电影
So tame. So predictable. So...Meh.
I’m an islander ，I am an islander！
比之前听Ost强太多了，很美式正能量，基本把音乐剧的特质展现得淋漓尽致，群像故事表现那么流畅，个体性格又很鲜明，主旋律节拍好好听(但不到洗脑的地步)，一切都注定这是一部成功的作品。有掉眼泪，在机长故事和消防员母亲那里。
温暖的故事。这部音乐剧演员好辛苦啊，全程扮演不同人物唱歌、还要搬道具、换衣服。
今年目前看过最有趣最治愈的故事了。和想象的差不多，最后几分钟又超乎想象。艾玛姨演的真好啊！以及，真的有如此敬业的x工作者吗
过于写实的音乐剧，看起来会有点像春晚小品。
男主有点帅，拍得很好笑！确实一些难以启齿的正常需求不会得到正视，regulated and safe太理想了哈哈
