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.
剧本很烂，老爷子老态龙钟谈不上啥演技，就当风景片看看吧，没什么意思。
成也東木，敗也東木。但是这是东木，没有什么电影是败，只是看东木想要玩什么
属于老年人的温存。但剧本属实是有些硬伤。确实就算是东木的忠粉这次也很难打出四星了。但是看老爷子这身体状况挺不错的，应该还能再拍吧，持续期待。
这部影片无论是从剪辑还是选角都是垃圾，几乎没有看点，叙事碎片，不连贯的观感就像是片儿汤，但毕竟是东木老爷子的电影，虽然已经能看出力不从心的感觉了，不过还是有些台词值得回味。
人老了就开始想在传承这个事情上做文章，老爷子也不例外。
拍的不好，演的也都不好，更像是Clint作了个简单的人生向往或回顾，但一想到这可能是他最后的作品又不禁伤感。若像安东尼奥尼最后一部长片《云上的日子》的巨作那该多好。
只能用无趣来形容了。。。。全程真的很无趣很没意思，感觉是在浪费时间，还好没有去电影院看。。。
90后伊斯特伍德依然有劲儿。我和我最后的倔强。抛开剧情，忘记《完美的世界》，一辆老爷车，一个老头，一个牛仔帽，一个孩子，一只鸡，继续上路，别带任何附属品。帮男孩回家的不是老头子而是那只公鸡。老头子老也老了还要谈恋爱泡墨西哥寡妇，男人致死是少年。
★演技4剧情4逻辑4制作4丨8/10 Clint 91了,opening music"Find A New Home",可能会是clint最后一部电影了
看一部少一部了。珍惜吧。
尽管看到他的样子依然感到亲切。但是老爷子已经老到不适合再做演员了，整部电影像是一碗清淡的粥。
耄耋之年的东木用他最惯常的西部情调拍摄这只属于他的美式牛仔精神，自信又稳健，褪去以往作品中险象环生的角色命数，看淡万事万物的起起伏伏，收起他个人英雄主义的锋芒，知天命，尽人事，返璞归真地讲述一个不算太有惊险感的故事，老爷子将它拍得既温暖又谦逊，无意去赘述年轻时浪迹天涯的传奇经历，角色间的交流充满其善意的包容，靠的只是他对爱和恨、功与名的经验之谈。雄鸡取名为macho则是对他职业生涯最恰当的概括，戎马一生到了垂暮之年也不得不被现实驯服，男子气概再热血也不是拿来肆意炫耀的资本，透过他无尽沧桑的细眼也能看到的强大个人魅力，老而不钝，老当益壮。
九十而随心所欲，拍电影终于不再是为了拍电影。
夕阳晚照，老爷子的心境吧。不过，这种美国老头把墨西哥孩子带回美利坚与家人重逢的戏码好像有点多，比如说连姆尼森的神枪手。
老牛仔进墨记，以为会有流血大冲突的点最后都变成了有惊无险的小温柔。东木的又一部暮年自白，我不知道如何治疗衰老，男子气概什么都不是。但他最后怎么还有给自己写了个美艳墨西哥寡妇，有点好笑又有点无语。
喜欢中间两幕场景的处理和设计.老爷子的电影大概看一部少一部吧.且看且珍惜.整个片子是温和的 .
东木确实老了，经不起什么波澜了。片子没什么惊喜，但其中几段自白还是很戳人啊。太希望他老人家还能再出一部杰作啊！三星。
我在梦中曾身处一个沙漠酒吧，现在我竟真的在。但没想到的是，这个荒凉的沙漠小镇，让人重回旧时的牛仔时光，驯马，烹饪，帮村民治疗他们的小动物，和可爱的小女孩开心的比划手语，看着拉菲尔情窦初开，和相互喜欢的人共舞一曲。当那首Sabor a Mi想起的时候，我真的和那孩子想的一样，留在这个小镇，永远不要离开。
克林特·伊斯特伍德真的老了，这么大年纪还这么辛苦拍片子，心疼，但片子真的很一般，有点像尼古拉斯凯奇近些年接的烂片，烂剧情加风骚女人。
故事开始的不太成立 整体也不太合理 倒是不太影响温情
