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.
无功无过的一部 狗狗确实很可爱（即使它很大只还是红色的 呜咽声好可爱🥺最后Emily的speech勉强算做一个亮点吧 不过确实 能改变世界的都是与众不同的人 btw one republic给唱的歌真好看！没看电影之前就先听了歌嘿嘿
Quite heavy both in visual appearance and symbolism, though not necessarily abundant in meaning and coherence. The somewhat progressive reinterpretation of the legend is hackneyed at best, pandering at worst
这个世界充满了奥秘，我们只是身着绿衣的骑士，去追寻一种“荣耀”的理想生活
作家的骨灰用写满文字的报纸包裹，小男孩提起小狗的后肢玩耍。
西方寓言的小格局，讲的大道理蛮深刻又冷静。原作诗歌文本，真的是被换化成充满诗意的电影构图和镜头运动，属于少数人才拥有的才华横溢。最厉害的是，一个人要成为理想主义追求的英雄(骑士精神)，不仅要验证是自己的不自量力，而且最终会发现终成英雄后，背面是多少利益编织的成就感。这片子应该给年轻鲜肉们看，可是太"艺术"，最后变成更年期人群的售后福音。喜欢被捆绑森林时的360长镜画圆闭环，多数人都是这么克服心理困境的。人最怕被抛弃的。
气氛营造得好，光影也漂亮。但是这到底是一个什么无聊故事。另外，真的没人觉得男主演技奇差。
然而不是西方观众 对神话故事 人物 剧情和骑士美德实在不太熟 没啥代入感
放荡不羁之人为了荣誉接受母亲所安排的“挑战”，在欢呼声中斩下绿衣骑士的头颅，为人传颂，却根本不配成为骑士，他吝啬，他贪婪，他胆怯，他无视友谊，他禁不住诱惑，根本不是传奇中所描述的那般英武，直到将死之际，他看到虚伪的王位带来的毁灭与终究逃不脱的命运，他终于坦荡，昂起头颅，接受死亡，算是得以成长
被砍头时的几次躲闪显得真实可爱。
跟家里人一起看的，还不错。挺温馨的个童话故事。
可爱的狗狗！虽然红色有点膈应…不过看着它的脸还挺舒服！
顶多给五岁以下简单的小朋友看看了！这是按照提纲拍的吗，剧本太弱太弱太弱！看的犯困！电脑狗狗再怎么卖萌也救不回来！
# 72 Berlinale 主竞赛# 值得金熊
弟弟与哥哥漫长的告别，第三幕笔锋一转，以对未尽之作毫不完善的演绎总结这一波三折的"魂归故里"，在粗糙的背景板下略过了人生的跨度，乡愁中更增添了许多遗憾。
真的骑士精神。学Sir Gawain and the GreenKnight时很不喜欢Sir Gawain. 电影的结尾愿意多加一星。
我很喜欢讲述人类和狗狗感情的电影，虽然剧情俗套可是感情在
一个无名小卒的骑士养成之旅，电影节奏属实太慢，看的中途我睡着好几次，如果不是看到了最后，我还真以为他只是一个玩不起游戏的胆小鬼，当上国王后抛弃自己的女人的败类，没想到结尾却来了一个大反转，直接颠覆了我对他的看法，他是一个从幼稚不断走向成熟的士兵，他配得上“骑士”的称号。
这个片子最搞笑的是几个配角设定，艾米丽的同班男同学富二代欧文活脱脱一个马云幼儿版，压扁的五官，透明塑料边框的啤酒瓶底子眼镜，欧文他爸是刘强东，注意看额头的那撮白毛和说话时挺胸抬头的气质，生物基因公司的大反派老板，直接就自称扎克了。整个猛一看，还真有点像那货的坯子。
6/10。洛维致力于制造绘画感极强的空间，镜头下高文横穿泛着雾气的泥地，流落于巨人出没后翻天覆地的广袤空间，又站在长满藤蔓形如洞穴的绿教堂入口，提供了一个主角完成从平凡到神格化的游牧空间。高文成为了一个意志薄弱被欲望反复诱惑的耶稣，他厮混于妓院不去礼拜、勉为其难地打赏问路的男孩、受城堡女主人的引诱失贞，并在落实荣誉的最终阶段害怕牺牲，当神性的光辉消隐，故事重回到人身上：全景大环摇中被男孩打劫、捆绑的高文变成白色尸骨，又在镜头运动一周返回后恢复血肉之躯，以空间位移来构建一种时间—历史，使主角收获‘‘发现自我’’；因背信弃义而称王的时候，黑暗冷寂的宫殿里高文翻出母亲保佑他的绿色腰带，随即人头落地，于幻觉中重塑自我的高文坚定了勇气，俯身面对执斧的绿树人。影片乏善可陈之处是为最终做出崇高牺牲的铺垫太少。
纵使系上腰带、挂上头衔……一切的失约皆是临时工的作为。如今不像是骑士的时代，每个人都像是临时工。
