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.
这也太好了，太可爱了没人会不喜欢红熊猫。非常中式的命题，太适合和家人一起看……（有没有用就另说了）（宇宙的终极：I’m proud of you）
他只负责输送技巧性的、职业性的驾轻就熟，但她无法接受以“消费者”身份进入一组性关系，或者说，她终究无法接受一组亲密关系仅仅是以性为基准的，她在自欺欺人地试着建立一些别的维度。
虽然是皮克斯的动画，但整个氛围都是东亚的感觉，啊哈哈，看到她们追星那个小眼神了吗。我很喜欢这种具象化的过程，得知这是祖传的就可以想象得出ming的小熊猫一定很大，只是没想到这！么！大！
Emma Thompson 无比珍贵独特的一次表演，戏外的她有多开朗多口无遮拦，戏里展现起对性爱的羞耻与自卑时就有多惹人怜爱。而即便在角色最 vulnerable 的时刻，她的表演也是那么 honest, generous & dignified。新人男主 Daryl Mccormack 毫不逊色，一双浅瞳大眼睛平静如水，映照女主的情绪并全盘吸收，how indulgent。几乎从未离开酒店的摄影和轻快顺滑的配乐是画龙点睛之笔。情节上觉得有趣的是，女主每次在性爱得到满足和解放后，本我都会膨胀得使她变得丑陋。Sexual fulfilment makes her so unhinged it's actually a very accurate observation.
很不错的家庭成长小剧场，将情绪的变化具体化，具象化，借由红色熊猫表现出来。但就是这样的一部电影，我们居然不能引进，实在很可惜的，如果以后能引进，我一定要带我的妹妹去看看，她正值青春期，也是一个“孝顺”的优秀的女孩，但是我想她也一定有很多自己的烦恼。或许她看完，也会莞尔一笑。获得短暂的欢愉吧！
故事内容还是有点太老套了，我也没共鸣，我妈也totally不是controlling freak。就是小熊猫也太可爱了，超fluffy
看的时候心中一阵惊恐，那个妈妈跟我妈一样一样的，太可怕了，被支配了一辈子……
最开始那个家庭关系我就崩溃了！虽然我知道最后一定会反转，但是仍然太不适了…
成长什么的不重要，红熊猫太可爱了太可爱了，妈妈熊真的巨大一只哈哈哈哈哈哈
主题是成长；一种东方人（华人）特有的教育观念，对孩子有强烈控制欲。孩子也在孝子的传统观念下不做反抗，一直做着乖孩子，隐藏着心里的红熊猫；还有多元移民国家（北美）的包容，中西文化混合；四城男孩是西城男孩，也是来自四个不同国家的粉丝女孩；华人的脸型建模很贴近现实；女性主导，父亲一旁
势利→女主说女招待：我显然没把你教好，不然你怎么沦落至此（当waitress）。这太刻薄了吧……
华裔、红色、熊猫构成一组同义反复，恐怕对于大部分中国家庭的孩子来说这样的故事都不陌生。与时下相当呼应的议题，和迪士尼式的最安全的价值观，却一点也不像常常给人惊喜的皮克斯。那熊猫的造型总让我想到吉卜力的二维动画，《龙猫》或者《百变狸猫》。【6】
有朋友真好。学生时代真好。MeiMei生在欧美真好，这样的结局certainly won‘t happen here。
虽然是他带领她走出性的囹圄，但最终高潮是她自己给的，她的美丽也是自己找回的
酸腐→concupiscence
当然里面确实是迪士尼卖周边那一套了哈哈。
年度最佳预定！！一口气到底酣畅淋漓！！！还是中国人懂中国人！！！每个中国典型家庭都有个控制欲超强的妈。不落俗套的剧本，笑点密集，善良温情的合家欢电影，不愧是你皮克斯。
我选择成为我自己。这个世界比较没用就是情绪宣泄，比如说什么你知道又能怎么样呢？仿佛你真的知道了一样，所有的东西你都要先知道了再说，在你不知道之前，你不需要任何的表示，我现在不和人争吵了，因为开始意识到，每个人只能在他的认知水平基础上去思考，以后有人告诉我2+2=10时，我会说，你真厉害。”
作为华东地区长大的人，真的不太懂那个ritual，一下子有些割离感
可可爱爱。尤其是给东亚的小朋友们讲:尊重父母重要，更重要的是尊重自己，做自己。
