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.
年度最佳啥的太过誉了，各种大数据重复元素这几年太多了，这种东西只要执行出来不出现大问题，观众大多就都会满意
其实还是那类“宠物电影”，以及为了强行煽情整了一个令人费解的结尾，实在太过简单粗暴。有趣和讨喜程度远不如《智能大反攻》和《芬奇》，可能更适合年龄层更低一些的受众。
不知这个故事是否脱胎于索伦蒂诺的亲身经历，但看罢我心念一动，去查了一下这位大导演的出身地。果然，正是那不勒斯。
3.5
导演的自画像？用《上帝之手》去比喻男孩的成长，我还是不太能get到这个点。
机器人已经代替手机成为孩子们社交和连接的基本工具，但巴尼的这台却因为故障变得行为异常。《天赐灵机》讲得就是巴尼与故障机器人间友谊的故事。
大数据时代，主题还是很契合当下的，但是展开的方式还是比较流水线，无非还是寂寞主角逐渐打开自己顺便改变身边人的那套真善美，小男孩和机器宠物的设定也明显在借鉴“大白”，包括结尾的处理显然还是童话向了，既没有比较燃的场面，也缺乏细腻的情感处理，有几个本该催泪的地方比较草率，当然了，不是谁都能做皮克斯的
这是库克在2021年卖iPhone 4；只是不知“I hate kids.”是20世纪的叛逆还是迪士尼的自嘲？
Good ideas, bad execution.
找到的解决方案是给Bubble来一次全面升级，AI大进化，有任何现实意义吗？
这是个关于信任的故事，信任是成本最大的选择，却也是收益最大的选择，利益是一切具象和抽象本质，而利益的本质是信任，人类社会需要一个更好的故事，否则将永远陷入厮杀和争夺。放弃一切反而得到一切指的就是选择，一个人从来需要的都不多，得到自己想要的，和拥有一切选择的权利才是圆满。最终，我更倾向于，已经发生的都是命定，而未发生的，始终都有可能，并非希望。
【2022.03】Ron为什么没有在彩蛋中回来
主题有点混乱，所以是想表达跟机器人也可以交朋友？还是探讨朋友是什么但最后还是和机器人交朋友？
心底却比从前更加地漠然与孤独。
影片末尾望去黄昏海岸线边的城市，点点灯光，导演自然有自己具体的私人回忆涌上心头，但对于屏幕前的人，只是一种用几个形容词描绘的抽象感触，说是共情更像是自我感动，所以对于电影便是微微领略他人异域生活，找一点喜悲品尝，没那么多情感洪流。
这几年好些导演开始拍自传性质的电影，不能说是潮流，算是人生进展到一定阶段后的一种类似乡愁的情绪——是这些塑造了我，但也回不去了。故事本身比较normal，而意大利有种魔力，以它为背景的故事就像被艺术之手点了一下，充满美感。
影片总归打磨的工业圆润又好看非常，
甲板上一丝不挂晒太阳的小姨，是家族里的疯女人。
怎么会有人不喜欢索伦蒂诺 而且这些人看过几部费里尼啊
年度最后一部佳片。葬礼让每个人不同的辛酸困苦、讽刺迷信借老妇之口说出。“通过我进入苦难之城，通过我进入永恒的痛苦，通过我你就能在迷失的人群中穿行”。是将自己放入宏大文本的剖析。幸存者携带无法治愈的悲伤，上帝之手因此被否定，不管是马拉多纳的拯救之手，楼上老妇的用私处洗涤伤痛的使命之手，小修士的信仰之手。都无法回答哪里有方向？哪里有勇气？怎么找到真正想说的话？甚至是否真存在不得不说的话？诸类种种命题。缪斯、兄弟、自由、梦幻般的信仰符号，随着那不勒斯时代一同逝去。唯有被抛弃所带来的痛苦，才能作为生命力，即使万般不情愿，厕所大门也终将推开。
