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.
ps看过的第一部没有传统歌舞的印度电影
现在印度的电影大多都是讲反种姓、人权反面的，并且拍得越来越有意思，这部的剧情反转，更是拍出了新高度。“即溶正义”，法律和正义不总是一样，鞭笞继续吧。
一部我在简中边偷乐边等续集的电影，导演别逼我求你。
8.5分，不愧是擅长扇耳光的民族，扇得那个脑回路啊跟拨浪鼓似的
从女性生存状况到师生不对等剥削到警方滥用职权到无良媒体对情绪的煽动作用到腐败政客操纵选举。一个看似简单的案件能够涉及到印度社会的种种问题，不能说编剧设计的不巧妙
不得不承认，阿三和棒子一样敢拍敢放，对本国的政治体制，社会弊端可以批得体无完肤，种姓歧视、教育腐败、政治阴谋、媒体失责、舆论导向、社会不公、权力滥用这些人类社会逃不掉躲不脱的垢病你可以在一部电影里面都看个够。普通的谋杀案可以被政客利用，可以被民众误读，可以被舆论误导，人类的智慧的确就是会利用“工具”，乌合之众永远存在。而法庭上正义律师抽丝剥茧地丝丝入扣地揭开事件的真相这个反转设计得很高级，这让观众的思考可以更加深邃，电影本身的立意与内核顿时提升了一个档次。近3个小时的片子没有歌舞却能让人深陷其中，这相当考验创作方的能力。但阿三和棒子一样，虽然敢于自揭其短，但并不能改变现实，也不能推动社会的进步与发展，西方所推崇人口最多的“民主”国度其实依然摆烂，民众已经麻木，这样的片子出得再多也于事无补。
立意题材明白了，电影的语言手法真是大锅炖，啥都往里加…
前半一个多小时看得我又想笑又恶心，拥挤的音乐和疯狂的煽情填满了每一处空间，根本没有节奏可言，一段又一段的内容接连放送，没有剧情只有信息。后面我承认反转是令人震撼的，角色拉黑又洗白也是厉害，但片子真的信息塞爆，因此没有任何一个段落得到充分有效的发挥，角色也令人难以共情，甚至难以令人信服。多给一星纯粹是为了律师演员和男政治老师、死去女老师的颜，少量足够力量的台词，以及不少撕破摊开的印度黑幕。只可惜片子的主题在我看来，依旧只是几乎所有人都在为自己的私心服务。
就多给一颗星吧，不得不承认印度的电影是越来越牛逼了，从最近诸多的作品中可以看出印度人民愈发想要觉醒改革的思想。但可惜的是，这并改变不了什么。反观国内的电影似乎还没要跳出舒服圈的打算，且由于服务器的问题，很多题材变得极其敏感。可在表象上我们仍能表现得一派和谐，实际上内部矛盾却愈演愈烈，内心早已麻木不仁。所以我们觉醒了吗？
50分钟里塞了俩个TV版长度的故事。在这俩个故事里，夏目都变成有能力保护其他人的人了。
就电影而言 有些拖沓 我们共情的是电影之外的事物 性别歧视 学术造假 舆论导向 政治手段 等等
以戏论戏，并没有拍得很好。后面的连串反转，也过于表面化。至于高分，不言而喻了。
这题材也太敢拍了吧，第三重反转开始没看懂，坐等靠谱博主出来解说。中国的电影真的还有很大的进步空间
看到最后，着实有些沉默了！琢磨了一会儿，突然想起这是不是就是古人说的“半部论语治天下”？仁义礼智信，而不是单单的ZZ丛林法则！又或者，搞ZZ本来就是一片黑暗森林？不然为什么那么多昧良心的ZZ玩家
假如没看过《控方证人》和《误杀瞒天记》我一定会觉得是佳作
昨天看了RRR，一边笑一边调侃印度人是真敢拍，今天看了这部是一边震撼一边感慨，印度人是真敢拍👍👍👍
拍的真是太棒了，如果没有最后一段转来转去的，会给5星。
PS：最后来个复仇情节属实没必要。
纪实了一些东西吧。里面反应的社会问题有很多，也符合我国情况，不过这些问题我们已经意识到了，至少已经关注到了，所以没有收获。
一部电影浓缩了很多焦点问题，在看的过程直呼过瘾。认可网友的评论。它的其他意义远远大于电影悬疑的意义。
