Review of Eyes Wide Shut (1999) by Zane U — 06 May 2013

I watched this after reading about (although unfortunately not seeing) Room 237 and the deep analysis that people bring to Kubrick films, so that may have colored my viewing. Buuut, can anybody watch this and not see the allegory to the internet? It's 1999, people engage in sexually deviant behavior under the guise of anonymity.

Tom Cruise even buys a costume in the middle of the night, as if he's shopping at a brick and mortar internet shopping site! I think it's fascinating and I loved it. But can anyone explain to me why Tom Cruise repeats every question that he is asked? "What is the password?" "The password? Fidelio.

" -- "Are you the doctor who was here last night?" "Am I the doctor? Who was here last night? Yes.".
