Don't look at what you shouldn't. Open your eyes and close your eyes when you accidentally look. No matter how much you look at it, you can't tell!

The film has been shuttled between reality and dreams. In fact, it doesn't matter where the dream is shown and where it is.

Our lives may be other people’s dreams, and at the same time there are people living in dreams that we can’t even think of. When you are at the top of the society, reality will have fewer and fewer constraints on personal morality...

——————————————————————————————————————————

List a few metaphors first

  1. Alice-Alice in Wonderland (the heroine's name)
  2. The Nutcracker-Christmas dream story
  3. Nuala- is a Jewish name, the daughter of the god of the sea in the myth, the wife of the king (model at the party)
  4. Domino-a mask that only covers the circle around the eyes (the name of the girl who stands on the street)
  5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas-the little monster who wants to steal Christmas (the book on the table of Bill's daughter)
  6. nipped in the bud-Precautions in the first place
  7. Introduction to Sociology-Introduction to Sociology (Books in the Domino Room of Women on the Street)
  8. Shadows on the mirror- Shadows on the mirror (book next to Introduction to Sociology)
  9. Gillespie-The Bishop's Servant (Coffee shop next to Nick's Play Bar)
  10. Fidelio- Fidelio is Beethoven’s only opera, which tells the story of the heroine who goes into prison with makeup to rescue her husband (Christmas party code)
  11. Bird's beak mask and walking stick-the costume of the middle world to resist the Black Death (one of the two most obvious masks in the line, which escorted Mandy away at the end, the other is the mask of the sun, I don't know if it has any meaning)

There are many more obvious and well-known ones that are not listed. These can help you understand the movie. Welcome to add.

# Open your eyes and watch the movie caprice

At the beginning of the film, it was a tall woman wearing a black dress from the back, but she immediately let the skirt slip from both sides of her body to reveal her whole body. This action just corresponds to the behavior of the women in the film's climax sex ceremony, also removing the black clothes and wearing ** Black high heels**. She stood in the middle of two Roman pillared porches, just like the merchandise in the window that constantly appeared in the movie. On the side, there are several floor-to-ceiling mirrors that can be opened and closed. The mirrors also appear in large numbers in this film. We learned about Ni later. But the name of the heroine played by Kidman is **Alice**, and the original work of this movie is "Dream Story". The main storyline behind it is also Alice’s dream. Her husband, Dr. Harvard, also experienced it. "Dream", we can think of this film as "Alice in Wonderland". The audience just opened their eyes and looked at the beautiful nude back, the screen immediately went black, showing the white film title "EYES WIDE SHUT". Here we had a dialogue with the audience, showing the main plot of the hero behind, just like the audience now. experience.

After entering the feature film, Bill, the male protagonist in a black suit, also turned his back to us, turned around and started groping around and looking for things, and said the first line of the film: "Dear, did you see my wallet?" At this time, the key prop "wallet" of the male protagonist is online. The contents of the wallet are not only a symbol of the male protagonist's identity and ability, but also the support of the male protagonist's confidence. Wife Alice replied to her husband, "Isn't it on the bedside table?" Bill found the wallet there as expected. The wife knows exactly the location of her husband's wallet, and this location is beside the bed. We can see that the "wallet" is also the support of their family and sex. After getting the wallet, Bill seemed to have found confidence. He told his wife in a serious tone that we were a little late, and the wife asked him how he looked and what his hair style was. Bill said he was perfect without seeing it, and told his wife You have always been beautiful; it shows that he is very confident in his wife's appearance, just like he is confident in his "purse". Alice got her husband's approval, and she took another look in the bathroom mirror, took off her glasses and placed it next to a pile of skin care products, and looked in the mirror and said, "I'm ready." What is she ready for? She prepared herself, just like her husband prepared a "purse", she is another "purse" of her husband, so that her husband can be confident in high-end social occasions.

The husband turned off the music, turned off the lights, and the two walked out of the bedroom, but the camera did not switch to the door, but was in the bedroom facing the door. As the door closed, the light slowly disappeared, and the room and the entire screen were dark. Come down, as if there is nothing in this room. The scene came to the corridor outside the bedroom door. The husband and wife walked out. The husband asked his wife the name of the nanny. In fact, Alice had asked her husband in the bedroom if he had left a phone call for Roz, but Bill obviously did not remember. This may express his blindness and disrespect to the people who serve him, which will continue to appear in the subsequent plots.

The two came to the living room. The room was full of paintings. They contacted Alice later on the issue of art related topics such as the closure of her own gallery. It also implied that Alice was an "artwork"; they walked to the sofa. In front of the babysitter Roz and his daughter, behind the sofa is a Christmas tree with colorful lights. It not only explains the time of the plot, but also echoes the Christmas tree that appears in all the rooms behind the film except the ritual castle. Maybe it is to express something. I didn't want to understand too much, and the colored lights always appeared in the background of Bill on the street or indoors. I felt that it was expressing the question of reality or reality. In the colorful flowers, is it real or illusory? The daughter wears angel wings on her back. In the Domino’s room behind the prostitute, there is a photo of a little angel. This may be a metaphor for the connection; Roz stood up and praised Alice for looking beautiful. This was the first time Alice received I praised it for the second time, and this kind of praise will appear in any other person’s conversation with her, as if everyone was telling her about her vase attributes, and Alice also showed this when the husband and wife quarreled later. anger. Alice asked her daughter if she was ready to go to bed, and her daughter asked if she could go to bed after watching **The Nutcracker**. The Nutcracker was also a dream of Christmas Eve. The director once again posted the film "Dream".

The couple kissed and said goodbye to their daughter and then went to the party site, holding hands and walking from the corridor to the entrance of the hall, as if the naked girl picked a person to take away after the ceremony on the second day of the party; the two parties are highly connected, the same It is the mapping of reality and illusion, reality and dream, but which one is real is for the audience to think and understand. The two came to the host and the couple to say hello to each other, as if they were in a good relationship. The host Victor also praised Alice's beauty and thanked the doctor Bill introduced him for curing his arm. Bill said he was from New York. Best of all, Victor said he saw it from the bill. It can be seen here that Victor enjoys the best service in New York with money. Not only is the doctor, Mandy, the prostitute who appears later, is the champion of a New York beauty pageant. We can also say that she is the best prostitute in New York.

The owner let the husband and wife into the hall, and the camera turned in. In the music of the orchestra, people were dancing in the hall, the doctor and the couple were in the middle of the hall, the orchestra on the stage was wearing white suits, and most of the people on the dance floor They are all black clothes. The comparison here seems to say that white clothes serve black clothes, and similar metaphors will appear in the following scenes. The camera came in front of the doctors and the couple. Alice asked Bill if you know anyone here? Bill replied: "Not a soul." This sentence was actually used for the party on the second day. After everyone put on the mask, he could not think of having such a soul, and now everyone's polite performance may not be. Their souls. The wife next asked why the owner Ziegler invited them every year, explaining that they were not qualified to participate. The husband replied that this is the benefit of being a home doctor. He knew that this was a reward for his usual meticulous service and gave them Couples have a beautiful dream on Christmas Eve. At this time, the pianist was given a separate lens, which was almost the same as the photo posted outside the bar window behind him, just like a commodity in a shop window. At this time, Bill recognized that he was a classmate who dropped out of medical school. After the music stopped, he wanted to say hello. However, Alice, who learned that he was not a doctor, was obviously not interested. Meet at the bar. Alice, who had left her husband, looked solemn, walked to the tray held by the waiter in white, picked up a glass of champagne and drank it, as if to relieve the pressure of her "work".

Bill came to the stage and called his classmate's name "Nightingale". This name means nightingale as a word. I don't know if there is a metaphor here. When Nick heard it and saw that Bill also recognized him immediately, he immediately jumped to the stage to say hello to Bill. Although the two clothes are black and white, their heights are the same and the left and right sides occupy the screen equally, implying that the two are equal. , This can also be seen in many plots later. The two wanted to have a drink and greet each other as they walked. Bill said that Nick had become a "pianist". Nick said that my friends called me that. Later we can see Victor calling him "the pinao guy". Nick asked Bill. Whether he is still a doctor is confirmed by Bill. Nick also confirmed that the two are equal. Bill is not as rich or expensive as the others at the party. Bill and Nick said that I never understood why you "walked away", which also implied that he could not find Nick's plot later in the film. When the two of them had just had a drink, someone came over and called Nick away. Then Bill was called away once again to express their equality; before leaving, Nick told Bill that he would perform in a bar for two weeks, so that Bill had After being empty, Bill agreed, which paved the way for the plot to follow. Maybe they didn’t take it seriously in their hearts, because it was seen from the back that they both had mobile phones, but they didn’t leave phone numbers for each other at this time. Maybe Bill knew that Nick would not ask him to be a doctor, and Nick knew that Bill would not ask him. play piano.

At this time, Alice was bored with a glass of wine and waited by the bar. The old man next to her noticed her and picked up the glass she had placed on the bar. Then she told it was her own glass and drank the wine, as if When they told Alice that I could get it as long as I wanted it, when they danced later, when Alice said that she was married and refused him many times, he still wanted to get Alice. His whole body exudes a breath of power, which comes from the top of the food chain. Self-confidence. He introduced his name Sandor, a Hungarian, and discussed the poet with Alice later. We got a famous Hungarian poet Petofi with Sandor in his name. He must have heard his most famous verse. , "Life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away." Maybe this is what I think, maybe this is also the director's arrangement, I think he may be the red who presided over the ceremony the next day Yiren, tried to compare the voices of talking with Alice and Bill at the back, but the masked voice at the back was dull, so it couldn't be compared. His freedom is to do whatever he wants. Not only can he abandon the lives and love of others, but also his own soul. After Alice also introduced himself, Sandor asked him if he had read "The Art of Love" by the poet Ovid. The "Art of Love" is divided into two parts, which describe the skills of love and teach the seduction and privacy of each sex. Tongzhi. Alice did not answer him directly, but told about the miserable experience of the poet in his later years. Here we can see that Alice was very open and even meant to seduce Sandor. I don’t know how to understand her performance here. Attraction or release of oneself, or drinking too much, knowing that Bill can see deliberate expressions of wanting to arouse his jealousy, maybe both. Sandor listened to Alice's answer and said that Ovid was once famous, and asked who Alice was with. After learning that it was her husband, he said how sad and invited Alice to dance; he did not show any sadness, yes It makes no difference whether he has a husband or not.

The two began to dance. Sandor asked about Alice’s job. Alice did not say that she did not have a job but she was looking for a job. She also said that she had run a gallery but closed down. Sandor immediately said that she had a friend in the "art game" that might be able to help her. , It can be seen that the industry in which others work is just a game for them, and they have more chips in their hands. The two slowly danced in circles. Alice put her wedding ring hand on Sandor's shoulder, and it appeared from time to time. At this time, Alice saw Bill standing on the other side, facing the two beautiful women, joking and laughing, and told Sandor was her husband. After seeing it, Sandor used words to instigate Alice to cheat and invited her upstairs to see the Renaissance bronzes collected by Victor;

On the other side, Bill was still joking with two beauties. One of them introduced his name as Nuala and spelled it out letter by letter, telling Bill that he would almost stick his face to Bill’s face. Bill only occupies a little space on the far right side of the screen. When the female Domino kissed Bill in the street behind, the composition was almost the same. Both times, Bill was passive but did not refuse, and it was also interrupted by other things. Nuala is a Jewish name, the daughter of the god of the sea and the wife of the king in the myth. I think this name must have meaning in the film, representing everyone’s wives and daughters, as well as Bill’s wives and daughters. It is to please the "Bills", make them happy, and get what they want. Another beauty asked Bill if she no longer remembered him, and told about her encounter with Bill. Obviously, in their relationship, Bill was the one to be pleased, just like his wife Alice on the other side might be pleased Sandor. Same. Obviously at this time, both husband and wife have seen what each other is doing, but both of them didn't stop but seemed to show them to each other. It is possible that both are showing their own "value" like each other. Next, a model said that the doctor seemed knowledgeable but had missed a lot of things through hard work. The three people walked and talked with Bill. At this time, Bill asked them where they were going. The model said: "Where the rainbow ends." Rainbow At the end of the movie, the name of the clothing rental shop at the back of the film is Rainbow, which may represent the beginning of Bill’s next experience. It may be the name of a book. The author is Jameson Currier. The book describes the gay population, AIDS and sex in New York, and these elements appear in the film. It may also imply that the two models have AIDS, and the street girl Domino also has AIDS. Bill also failed to have sex with them. relation. In this party, Bill and the female model, Alice and Sandor talk to each other, attract each other, and ultimately want to acquire sex. At the party tomorrow, after everyone puts on the mask, everyone saves these words. Masks, you can go straight to the theme at any time. The two parties are the same people, but today everyone is polite in suits and shoes. These are their masks today. The next day everyone will put on another mask. Before Bill could find the end of the rainbow with the model, he was called away because of Ziegler's affairs, just like Nick was called away before, and at the same time as all the prostitutes who could be taken away at any time at the party the next day. They can be taken away at any time when needed; before leaving, Bill and the model said to wait and continue, which may imply his journey to find the end of the rainbow, or imply that they will see you again at the party tomorrow.

When the camera came upstairs, a naked woman sat on the sofa next to Ziegler who had just put on her pants. She was wearing only black high heels. When she heard the knock on the door, Ziegler hurried to open the door. At this moment, we saw the wall. There is a portrait of a nude girl, and the pose of this nude girl can be said to be exactly the same as the pose of the nude girl on the sofa, and the red background of the portrait is like the curtains of Alice's house. This painting is one of Ziegler's art collection, just like Sandor behind. The bronze mentioned to Alice is like a collection, and the naked girl lying on the sofa is also his collection, all of which can be bought and sold. Bill came in and asked about the situation and carefully checked the state of the naked woman. At this time, he was not like a doctor, but like a repairman, to see what went wrong with Ziegler's toy. After knowing her name, Bill called her name, confirmed that she could hear her, and asked her "Can you open my eyes for me". Here we contacted the story behind, and Mandy took the punishment for Bill. It may be this time. Mandy remembered his eyes and recognized Bill wearing a mask at the party the next day.

At this time, Sandor downstairs invited Alice upstairs to visit Ziegler’s collection of Renaissance bronze statues. Perhaps to Sandor, Alice is like these precious artworks, and she can also be displayed there; I think Sandor is the party the next day One of the reasons why the red dress host is here is that he knows well and can show Ziegler's collection to others at will, implying that he is a big figure higher than Ziegler. Alice's refusal of Sandor is "Not just now." I don't know if it can be interpreted as "It's just not right now", meaning that I need to marry me to protect my future life?

Upstairs Ziegler is already wearing clothes, and Mandy is covered with a blanket. Bill is standing between the two with his chest. Ziegler faces Mandy, behind him is the toilet and bidet. According to the symmetry of the picture, Mandy is the toilet. , Bill is just the bidet, which just fits the situation that is happening. Ziegler pinched his waist and said to Mandy on the sofa that you really scared us to death, and the weak Mandy subconsciously said sorry. Bill looked at the table below and asked about Mandy's status again, and looked at her and said that you are a very lucky girl. And warned her that she could not do this in the future. Here, Mandy should deepen the impression of Bill’s eyes and accepted Bill’s warning and advice to go to the drug rehabilitation center. It also became the basis for Bill and the audience to suspect that she was suicide by overdose the next day. One; Bill at this time had no idea that Mandy would tell him by action that he was a lucky boy. Then Bill held his chest and told Ziegler that he would take care of him. Ziegler wanted Mandy to get dressed and leave, but he still listened to Bill's request. We can see that Ziegler treats people who serve him just like Bill treats people who serve him. They are essentially the same, but although Bill relieved Ziegler from the trouble, the expressions and actions at this time were very resistant to Ziegler's behavior. , Before going out, I also specifically asked Bill not to tell others. We can see that Ziegler has to take into account the face of today’s party. The appearance of him and Mandy is still two specific people. And tomorrow, all of this will be set aside. They only have their identities. Have a name again.

Alice and Sandor downstairs are still dancing. Alice closed her eyes and showed drunkenness. Her ring was still dangling in front of us, and she told Sandor that she was going to find her husband. Obviously Sandor didn't want to let this cost herself. A night’s prey, but Alice finally raised her hand and wiggled her ring finger to reiterate that she was married; instead of reaching out in front of Sandor, she raised her hand to her left, facing the audience with her ring. In the film, we can often see the wedding ring of Bill and Alice. Alice’s wedding ring also has a ring of diamonds. I think this should imply that there is another restriction on Alice, based on the constraints of marriage. It is a stable family and material life.

Next, the camera switched to Alice's naked back in front of the mirror. Alice wore glasses and twisted her body easily. She took off her earrings, and the naked Bill came out from behind. The two looked at each other's bodies in the mirror, as if in the mirror. Appreciating the artwork, we can see most of the front of Alice and Bill in the mirror at this time, and the back of the two are outside the mirror. Obviously the audience’s attention is in the world in the mirror at this time, and the camera behind is also directly Pointing at the two people in the mirror, Alice took off her glasses, looked up and down, and kissed Bill. Bill's hand with the wedding ring always held Alice's neck at the back, and Alice almost only occupied the leftmost part of the screen. One-third, and Bill takes the initiative to take up more of the picture, which also implies Bill's dominance in the marriage of the two and Alice's passivity. The camera gradually moves to the picture of the two in the mirror, does it imply the next The plot is in the mirror? Is it the dream of two people? And Alice’s weird eyes may confirm this, perhaps just expressing that her need for Bill is just a routine to complete her work; maybe she is thinking of her dream lover; maybe she is imagining if she would agree to Sandor’s courtship What kind of development will there be... (I wonder if this scene might be after Alice said Fuck at the end of the movie)

After continuing to let the audience eyes wide shut, the well-dressed Bill came out of the elevator. According to the conversation, we knew that he had come to his office; Alice at home was reading the newspaper, her daughter was watching TV, and there was a children's book "How The Grinch Stole Christmas is about a little monster trying to steal people’s Christmas by stealing people’s Christmas trees and gifts, thereby making them miserable, but people use actions to tell him that Christmas is coming soon. Not only from the gifts, but in the end he returned the stolen things and enjoyed the Christmas dinner together at the people's home; I don't know if there is any metaphor here. The cartoon on TV should be Bugs Bunny. The dialogue is: "The whole house was very quiet on Christmas Eve. There was no sound at all, not even the mouse." This dialogue is the reason why I think the last scene did not happen on Christmas Eve. one. Bill auscultated the female patient. The female patient was wearing only underwear and a nurse was standing next to her. The scene behind the scene in the quarreling conversation between Bill and his wife may be a hint of dreams. Alice combed her daughter’s hair at home, and Bill treated the child to the doctor. Alice’s naked body appeared again, wearing glasses and a bra. You can pay attention to Alice’s glasses. When they were worn and when they were not worn, it seemed to imply something; Bill examined a patient The leg is next to the nurse; Alice is wiping sweat and her daughter is brushing her teeth; Alice and her daughter are wrapping gifts. Alice takes a thick collection of Van Gogh paintings and puts it on the wrapping paper, and says, "Dad will like it, I will pick it. Very good.” It can be seen that Alice and her daughter work in the family to make Bill happy. The gifts they give are also related to art. From the previous scenes, we can see that her daughter appeared with Alice, which implies When she grows up, her daughter will also become Alice. Alice is holding her daughter, and Bill is sitting across from the two. The daughter reads: "When I jumped into the bed...being in front of me." Is the ellipsis "Dad" or not, just in line with Bill sitting before she goes to bed In the scene opposite her, expressing the state in words, is it another hint that she is in a dream?

Alice walks through the room. There are plants and flowers in the room, and there are almost all kinds of plants and flowers in the painting on the wall. Does it resemble the forest of Alice in Wonderland? Is it a hint of dreams? Alice asked if he wanted to call to thank Ziegler for the invitation. Bill’s office has already processed it. Alice sat next to Bill and asked if Bill could wrap the present together. Bill said that he would do it tomorrow; Bill was drinking beer and watching the football game on TV. , And the confrontation between husband and wife seems a bit like a ball game. Alice reluctantly came to the **mirror** in the bathroom. We saw Alice in the mirror pushing **glasses** up and rubbing her temples. After thinking about it, she opened the door of the mirror cabinet and took out a Bundy jar. , Opened it and took out the marijuana from the inside. These are what we saw in the mirror, and there was a mirror shot after Alice left. Next, we see the shot of Alice wrapped in marijuana, Bundy’s box is in front, and Alice is zooming in on the marijuana with her ringed hand, as if to say that this is a band-aid of the emotions of the two. Alice was lying on the bed smoking a cigarette intoxicated, the camera zoomed in and Bill appeared. We saw that Alice had taken off only the transparent vest and underwear, and passed the cigarette in her hand to Bill; Alice who smoked hi smiled and asked if Bill had any fuck The two girls at the party, Bill who sucked hi, denied it. Alice asked why they disappeared with them for so long, indicating that Alice who was dancing had been paying attention to Bill's whereabouts. Bill sat behind Alice who was sitting up, and Kissing and asking who was the person dancing with her, Alice laughed and said that it was a friend of Ziegler, and said that he wanted to go upstairs for a shot at that time. Bill said that he just wanted to fuck my wife, which is understandable. Because you are a very beautiful woman; when Alice heard Bill saying this, she stood up and walked to the door frame in surprise. It was because I was a beautiful woman. All the men who talked to me wanted to fuck me. At this time, Bill still Sitting on the bed and saying that we all know what men want; at this time, Alice stood in the box again and asked if he could think that Bill wanted to fuck the two models. Bill denied that he was a special case because of me. Love you, we are married and I will not deceive you; every time Alice cut into the box, she will change her position to show herself, like a "commodity"; at this time, Alice walked to the other side of the room and asked Bill if she fuck those two girls not because he doesn’t want to but because he thinks about her, B Ill let her relax because the marijuana made her too nervous. Alice said that it was not the marijuana that was you. Why didn’t you give me an answer directly; Bill said that she didn’t know what we were arguing about, and Alice was still changing positions after changing positions. Then he sat back on the dressing table and stood up again, and said what Bill thought when he pinched the breast of a female patient. Bill said he was a doctor and there was always a nurse at the doctor. This scene also appeared before, again. The language retelling the scenes that have appeared is a lot like "the language of dreams"; Alice sat down with her back on the dressing table and asked Bill to say that when you pinch people's breasts, you only have your own profession in your heart? Bill definitely said that sex is the last thing he thinks about when he is with the patient. Alice leaned on the dressing table and jokingly asked Bill if the female patient would miss the handsome doctor's little cock when she was pinched. What kind of thing: Alice with her back in a mirror and full of cosmetics is like Bill holding a purse and taking out a medical license. Two people sit face to face, and the camera is facing one person at a time. Alice, who looked through her underwear dimly, moved, and there was a pause in every demonstrative posture; after hearing Bill’s excuse, Alice suddenly stood up and said, "Millions of years of evolution, right? Men can find anything. Just insert it in a hole, but women should consider security and stability promises and other similar things.” This sentence probably expresses Alice’s heartfelt feelings and is the reason why she will not cheat easily, whether it is for Sandor in the opening film or her dream. For a Chinese lover, she must first consider the stability of her life and family. Bill agreed with her and said that she just wanted to make herself jealous, but she wouldn’t be jealous because she trusted Alice. Alice was his wife and his daughter’s mother; Bill said these words as if they were increasing Alice’s derailment. Shackles, the more these shackles, the lower the possibility of Alice's cheating To say that I am confident in you is actually confident in these shackles on Alice. Alice laughed when she heard it, a little hysterical. Bill was dumbfounded and asked her if she thought it was funny? Alice knelt on the ground with a smile, the curtains on both sides were like stage curtains, Alice was like an actor performing, and Bill was like an audience sitting under the stage. For him, it was an immersive theatrical performance. Alice is still smiling and kneeling On the floor, I asked Bill if he remembered Cape Cod last summer, or the young naval officer in the restaurant sitting at the table next to us with two other officers. The waiter gave him a message and he left. Obviously Bill didn’t. Take note of these. Alice clearly remembered the encounter with this young officer. A look made Alice fascinated. She even thought of him when she was having sex with Bill and planning for the future; sex was used here, but the rest of the movie was used. It’s fuck; Alice went on to say that if that person wanted her even for one night, she would give up all of this now: Bill, daughter, all the future, and these are all his confidence in the front for Bill, Alice But Alice went on to say that Bill was her most precious at the time. Her love for Bill was gentle and melancholy. She almost didn't fall asleep that night. She woke up in a panic and couldn't tell whether she was afraid of the officer. She was still reluctant to leave after staying, but at dinner she still knew that he was gone, and then she was relieved. Bill kept watching Alice in amazement as she heard all this. It was obvious that Bill was shocked by his wife’s mental derailment. All of his self-confidence was no better than the look in the eyes of others. Is the naval officer Alice talking about except in her dreams? The imagination of the lover also has the image of power in it.

At this moment, the ringing of the phone suddenly rang Bill back to reality, who was still in shock. Bill went on the call feebly. We saw his wedding ring again. Bill, who put down the microphone, said that one of his clients had died and he was still sitting. Alice on the ground just sneered when she heard it, and Bill said she was going to show her face. In the next shot, Bill sits in a taxi and begins to imagine a scene where a navy officer has sex with his wife. This scene is probably replacing the real self with the image of a naval officer. Obviously, he said he had confidence in his wife. Bill, who wouldn't be jealous, was very jealous now.

When he arrived at the client’s house, Bill rang the doorbell, and the maid dressed in black and white collar opened the door for him. When the door opened, Bill also dressed in black and white collar, just like Nick. Here he and the maid are equal. The host serves. The camera followed Bill all the way to the door of a room. There was a table on the left and right of the door. There was a small rockery on it. Bill gently knocked on the door twice and said to come in. After opening the door, the first thing we saw was again A Christmas tree full of colorful lights, Bill called Marion and the other side stood up and shook hands to thank you, Bill said he rushed to Marion as soon as he received the call, and then continued to express condolences to Marion, Marion also said several thank you in succession, through In her tone, we can also feel that she is still in grief and cannot believe that her father has passed away; she invited Bill to sit down, and Bill actually came to the bed and touched the forehead of the dead client, then turned around and separated from Marion. The table sat down face to face and listened to her talk about the story of her father's death today, and comforted her that his father went there very peacefully. Then I asked if she had notified her relatives. Marion said she had called her stepmother in London but she was not there, and her boyfriend Carl called a few. The call will come. You have seen Carl several times before. Bill said he remembered that he was a teacher. Marion said he was a professor of mathematics. The two will get married in May. Bill congratulated him. Marion went on to say that Carl would teach at the University of Michigan and the two would move there. Obviously, he was talking to Bill at this time. Marion hesitated and was on the verge of collapse, but then her confession to Bill made the audience understand that this was not caused by the sadness of his father's death. Bill saw Marion who was a little broken and brought her face closer, but Marion kissed him. At this time, Bill occupies only a small part of the picture, like the model in front of him and the street girl behind him kissing him. Same, he is passive. After Marion and Bill kissed, they kept saying that I love you and I don’t want to leave with Carl. Even if I never see Bill again, I want to live closer to him. At this time, does Marion seem to see Alice like a navy officer? This is almost another restoration of the verbal description of events.

Bill told Marion that you were so sad that you didn't know what you were talking about. Marion insisted that I love you. Bill said that we almost didn't know each other. We had almost no other conversations except for your dad. At this moment, the doorbell rang. , Carl came, the waiter opened the door, Carl took off his jacket and walked to the door of the room like Bill, but the small rockery on the table in front was gone. I don’t think it was a mistake. Put on a help... after knocking on the door and going in. Carl quickly came to comfort Marion, and then greeted Bill to express his gratitude. At this time, both Bill and Marion were wiping their lips with their fingers. They were a little embarrassed. Bill hurriedly said goodbye. Carl sent him out. The shot here was given to Marion, which seemed to be reluctant. He turned back and took a breath, as if he wanted to say something and then stopped.

The scene came to the street outside. Bill was walking by the side of the road with his hands in his pockets. He saw the men and women kissing in the **window**. In the window were Santa Claus, lanterns, flower pots, etc., and the door was posted " nipped in the bud"—prevent trouble before it happens. At this time, Bill thought of the scene of the officer and his wife going to bed, which was a step further than before, and Bill was walking on the road past the **shop window** with colorful lights, and the signboard on the side of the road in the shop also said something. The suggestive text can be watched carefully by interested friends, some of which are rather vague. A more obvious sign says "pink pussy cat boutique". It sells sexy lingerie. Pussy may also mean another thing. By the way, you can really find such a store in New York. Bill walked over the corner and continued to pass by the **shop window**, while a group of young people came over on the opposite street corner, talking loudly, talking about the dancers going to the nightclub to dance close to the scene, seeing Bill as a homosexual and humiliated him. , And when they met, he slammed Bill into a car on the side of the road, and then said "Merry Christmas Mary" to him. I don't know if Mary is the name for gays, but the name of the Virgin is Mary. , And today is Christmas Eve. Legend has it that the Virgin was conceived and conceived with Jesus in a **dream**, and at the same time was a woman and mother. Bill stood still and looked at these young people in horror and angrily. They were acting to humiliate Bill, and Bill reluctantly watched them walk away and turned away. Continue to walk through the **shop window**, I ran into a street girl at the intersection and stared at Bill, and the shop across the road was "xxx

At this time, the camera switched to Alice at home, eating snacks and smoking a cigarette and watching TV, and the picture on the TV shows a **white** waiter serving coffee to the guest. The guest says "grazie" and the waiter replies "you" are welcome" and turned to leave, and the guest said, "If I were Italian, he would definitely reply to me in Italian". At this time the camera cut back to Bill's side, and the street girl approached and kissed Bill. At this time, Bill was passively accepted, and it only took up a small part of the picture. When she asked us if we could start, Bill His phone rang, Bill stood up to answer the call, and at this moment we saw that the walls in the room were covered with **masks** and colored lights. Next to the mask, there was also a dressing table and mirror similar to Alice. Bill walked to the speaker and turned off the music. At this time, we could see two **mirrors** on the wall. Bill motioned to the street girl not to make a sound, and connected the phone by himself. At this time, Santa Claus and tapes were posted on the wall. A puppy in a Christmas hat, and in the film Bill’s daughter asked if her Christmas gift could be a puppy; at the same time, we saw "Introduction to Sociology" on the shelf. Many people said that this book expresses the theme of the film. It is the division of social classes. Maybe it does have this meaning, but what I see may be that the person living in this room is a college student who came to New York to study, and the daughter of another "Bill". It was Alice who called and asked Bill how long it would take. At this time, we could see another book on Bill's hand, "Shadows on the mirror" by Frances Fyfield. The introduction looks like some kind of horror and murder novel, no If you know whether it corresponds to Mandy who died next, friends who are interested can learn more about it. Bill told Alice that he didn't know how long it would take. Alice said that she was going to bed first. When Bill hung up, we could see the **ring** on his hand holding the phone. At this time, the girl leaning on the bed looked at Bill. Next to her was the head of a cloth tiger. After Bill walked over, we could see the tiger’s ass. Some people said that the tiger represented Bill’s sexual desire. It disappeared later, I think it might be a bit far-fetched. Bill sat next to the girl. The girl also sat up and asked if Bill was leaving. At this time, the door behind the two of them had I love. The NY logo, I believe that this logo appeared in the room of a street girl, not just love and New York. Bill thought for a while and said he was leaving, and insisted on paying the girl, took out his wallet, counted out 150 yuan, and politely held the girl's hand and gave the money to her, a graceful clientele.

When he went out, Bill continued to pass the window, the Christmas tree, and Gillespie's cafe, while Gillespie stands for "The Bishop's Servant", which may express the master-servant relationship that does not exist all the time in the film. Next to it is the sonata cafe, where Nick told Bill that he wants to stay there. Bill approached and saw Nick's photo in the **window**, approached, and the strong man opened the door for him. After going in, go down the stairs. The wall in the corridor is covered with mirrors and lanterns. A more obvious sign on the corner wall says "all exits are final". After entering the bar, the room was full of colored lights. Nick was playing with the band on stage. Bill sat down and ordered a beer. After Nick walked off the stage to see Bill, he sat down and ordered a glass of wine and chatted with Bill. Nick said that he would have another performance starting at about 2 o'clock, and said that he did not know the address, which aroused Bill's curiosity. Nick next said that he was playing the piano blindfolded, which made Bill incredible. Then he said. I saw it secretly this time. It was the most amazing thing in my life. I have never seen a woman like that. This made Bill even more incredible. At this time, Nick's phone rang, indicating that he knew the address and wrote it on the napkin. "Fidelio" means that he will pass immediately. Bill took the napkin and looked at the words on it and asked Nick what it was. Nick said the name of Beethoven's opera, and then under Bill's gaze, he said it was the code. Fidelio Fidelio is Beethoven's only opera. It tells the story of the heroine who goes into prison to rescue her husband with makeup. It seems to fit the plot of Bill's rescue and implies the plot that Bill will experience. Nick wanted to leave, but Bill did not let him leave easily. After asking for details, Nick said that he needed a costume and mask to participate.

Eyes Wide Shut quotes

  • Victor Ziegler: Bill, I... I know what happened to you last night. And I know what's been going on since. And I think you just might have got the wrong idea about one or two things.

    Dr. Bill Harford: [feigning ignorance] I'm sorry Victor, but... what the hell are you talking about?

    Victor Ziegler: Please, Bill... no games. I was there. At the house. "The house". I saw you, Bill. I saw everything.

  • Victor Ziegler: Bill, I don't think you realize how much trouble you got yourself into last night just by going over there. Who do you think those people were? Those were not just some ordinary people. If I told you their names... no, I'm not going to tell you their names... but if I did, I don't think you'd sleep so well at night.
