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.
穿插于现实、回忆甚至幻觉之间，折腾这么多动作戏，这电影实在是定位错乱。
又莫名其妙的引出贩毒的吴彦祖，一脸凶残样三下五除二被解决了。其实有啥关系啊，就是为了凑时间。
没想到是个恋爱脑故事。今年真是神奇，前有大豆田面对松田龙平和小田切让谁也不选，后有rebecca ferguson让狼叔和吴彦祖前赴后继，大快人心（不是）。美术是美的，人物动机比较莫名其妙。
男主这么能送，不死也是命大。
想做Neo Noir勇气可嘉，但无奈情节过于老旧，一度让观众无法cares人物命运。动作桥段太生硬了，尤其吴彦祖的戏份，这个删了都不影响。倒是非常喜欢高科技催眠回溯的设定。
秘密总是湿漉漉的，当回忆被唤起，不管是从Tank还是从床上醒来，总会浸润枕边。黯淡近未来版《洛城机密》，温婉、浪漫版《末世纪暴潮》。我认为乔伊创作这部电影的目的，并不只是为了展现她在剧作结构和科幻设定上灵巧构思不比家里的男人差，因为当我看到DA用近似观看黑色电影的方式探案时我才发现，这是一部迷影电影。电影的本质就是再造梦境，再现人们内心深处的恐惧和欲望。乔伊在如锈带威尼斯的穷人洼地，与富人独享的旱地乐园的科幻设定上，并未模仿工业风极强的尼尔的《极乐世界》，也无拯救人类、阶级跨越之类的宏大叙事，只是用伤痕文本和旅拍视听，缓缓点缀出逼近真实的近末世风光。原剧本重新创作一下会是一部很标准的中篇科幻小说。休叔应该是退役海军特战，片中的边境战争应是美南部，包括墨西哥湾，交战对象很可能是某崛起后的大国。
哈哈哈哈哈哈狼叔是不是对自己的中文贼自信。给我们阿祖安排的啥鬼台词啊：A 妞like that.poor龟孙子，but that’s 狗屁。
3.5 stars, but too dark, and something did not quite come together
我说台词咋这么矫情，原来导演和编剧都是同一个女人，不过许多光景拍的挺柔美的。
男主真是一个痴情的汉子啊！
沉溺于美好爱情中的人们，还有谁又愿意醒来？
4.3 诺氏家族都很喜欢呼唤爱，这堆不表达懂爱的人组成一个家庭也是很神奇了
朋友you should worry about that dam more than your妞
2星给用心完成工作的特效班底和卡司（休叔、阿祖、丽贝卡弗格森的演技都超顶~），除此之外真就吹不出什么了。
剧情还行，但是男女主的情感刻画过于单薄不足以成为推动故事走向的契机，看完印象最深的是吴彦祖的中英混搭台词
…两个小时我特么看了个什么玩意！？男的，不行。就算是狼叔和吴彦祖也不行。
四平八稳 可以选的话 回望过去还是看向未来 几个想法：1. 记得研究表明 每次想起某段记忆 并不是原版 而是上一次回想的版本 2. 人的记忆做不到录像带的捕捉度 3. 如果可以把原版前前后后各个角度翻来覆去地像看录像一样一遍又一遍的回顾 我想到了信条里的那句话：发生的事情已经发生过了 what happened happened
记忆不存在于过去，没有未来哪来的记忆？吴彦祖示范了什么是标准的美式的中式英语hhhhhh。
侦探故事的本质还不错，狼叔个人魅力十足，就是浪漫元素比较cheezy，吴彦祖的中英文混杂很尬
看腻了打打杀杀大场面的科幻动作片，换换口味品味细腻而又精致的科幻爱情片也不错啊，狼叔低沉又富有磁性的旁白有一种画面褪色的老派侦探片的味道，而开场的台词不由得让人想起盗梦空间，看了下简介，果不其然，导演兼编剧是诺兰家的人！随着剧情推进，让人意识到，这部电影的灵感可能与盗梦空间有着千丝万缕的联系，但其实完全是两个不同的故事，概括起来，追忆迷局其实就算狼叔带着观众走进自己的回忆，而最终观众看完并离开了狼叔的记忆，而狼叔自己却回到了记忆的循环……电影结束带给人们的思考还是蛮多的。
