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.
for you and me, never and forever
再见啦，所有的EVA.
人物故事线烂得一比，骗沙雕的把戏。
谁看了不想说一句“就这？” 但用这短短的时间回忆起自己和剧集相遇的日子以及那段反复观看的时光，大概人人都会有不同的感触。
额，看的我好尴尬啊。抢答题的时候，钱德勒总是很老态，感觉“重聚”或者幕后分享，真的简单“分享”就好。
直到现在还是喜欢时不时看《Friends》，永远记得Monica安慰Rachel的那句话：“Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You are gonna love it.”
什么玩意，真希波是个什么丑+土？这不是我小时候看的那个天鹰战士！
It has ended but it will never end.❤️
一直不太敢看这一集，事实上我从来没看过《老友记》的最后一季。在我们跟着急速展开的生活学习如何做一个“现代人”的青少年时代，这部剧制造了一个巨大的乌托邦。在那里面人们还不用为房租和薪水太发愁，周末总是完整的，在日复一日的命运劳役之外，有一个叫做“生活”的东西需要慢慢建设。有朋友、有爱人、有孩子，付出总有回报，总会过得更好。多少年后，梦早就醒了，可是我们依然对曾经制造出的幻想保有敬意。
joey那句bullshit真的把我逗乐了
月上中天，梦若初见
看不够呀！花絮能不能多来一点(｡-_-｡)
Documentary
看时总想起高中全班看到R&R在一起发出的欢呼声 还有当时像Ross爱Rachel那样暗恋着的女孩子 虽然最后也只终于暗恋；
global Friends
啊，想起北岛的波兰来客了，“那时我时常在午夜惊醒，因为有很多梦未圆，因为对现状的不甘，因为对明天还会期待，因为相信自己会是一个奇迹！”
对这个节目来说，基本都只剩下情怀了，岁月啊你别催。老友记如此的经典，可以刷一刷
没有自我的她也最终拥有了归属之地，不再依靠他人的想法而活而是纯粹依靠自己的意志
纠结于cp没有实际意义。"会选择没有eva的生活，重写一个没有eva的世界。"这就是痞子最想说的话吧。无论如何恭喜观众和主创，这次是真正从eva的诅咒中解脱了。
每个人都成长为了大人，每个人都把自己对他人想说的话说了出来，也都学会了去爱这个新的世界.
