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.
非常好看！历史上有多少改变人类命运的决定，其实涌动在那些拥有大爱的“小人物”身上。人物虚拟，却更似真实。“大人物”除了做决定，能做的很有限，所以历史课本才会那么无聊。
虽然是fiction但是讨论的问题很深刻，paul、hugh和张伯伦都是很有张力的角色，在历史的过道里没有什么非黑即白，放下冲动的正义和戴着镣铐的反抗最为动人
烟盒明明还有还要“shall we share?”“I'd miss you”深情的“goodbye”看得俺老基动了，Jannis大漂亮分分钟都是hugo boss走秀啊，明明是主角为嘛演员表排老后呢
比起枪林弹雨的战争 战前的绝望气氛更加致命
題材屬於高難度的那種，拍得好可成就經典，但N記拍成了類近每月之星的流水帳。
三星半 拍历史的部分其实普普通通 大概这段历史大家都学过又有原著所以导演无法更进一步描写 但选角真的很合适 架不住两个主演之间的化学反应 那时年少 你梦见夏天 和我在深蓝色的夜里起舞 后来明白再热烈的爱恨也不过时代里的一粒沙 两个人年轻人的选择和家国情怀比历史部分鲜活多了
单看剧情我非常喜欢，俩男主谁会磕不到，但放在真实历史下还是片面的。
感谢张伯伦母亲生下如此英雄为二战盟军胜利奠定坚实基础…
片头开始 忍不住想 两次大战怎么会如此密集地发生在这样的地方。这些年轻人如何进入战争 带着信念 不再回来。
怎么感觉和现在的乌克兰局势挺像。还是有人很清醒的认识到战争的危害，可惜无力阻挡历史的车轮
一个有信念的人能把自身的安危不顾而铤而走险，好感动。想阻止希特勒的战争，一个人的力量是何其的渺小，但是还要试一试，甚至要去刺杀希特勒。
节奏挺好，没啥大的戏剧冲突，但是也挺紧张。张伯伦是真伟大还是真担心，这个还两说
英德问题是：一个好战必亡 另一个忘战必危，导演借男主总结的话是扯jb🥚的，甚至和德国男2说的自相矛盾
永远不要和魔鬼做交易 有时候没有希望 我们能活得更好
张伯伦一直以绥靖政策而被作为丘吉尔的反面例子，这一部给了一些不同的视角，虽然很无力。
剧情貌似对绥靖有很多合理化解释，虽说这是出于大历史的无奈。回味了一下，竟觉得和"Don't Look Up"异曲同工：声嘶力竭想说希特勒野心不止于此，却无人理会。
期待很大，失望就更大....其实对荞麦的期待还是很大的....看了一下导演原来是个德国人，难怪....德国人的电影向来相当的生硬.....男二简直就是一个德国马景涛....剑桥生被拍成这种气质也是服了....看在老戏骨的份上加了一星....
那时候的mask是防毒气的，现在都mask是防病毒的
Another side of the story.
7 历史永远比想象的更具体，也更现实，更无情，片中呈现的政治博弈还是偏戏剧性。guarding angel 很美。二战真是一个非常非常值得写的总母题，对于一二战间隙的和平争取，服务于错误的高尚事业的迷茫（《长日将尽》），战争与代际以及个人成长的绑定及其反思（《浮世画家》）。狂热地支持一项事业并不惜代价，巅峰就是战争。想读读《张伯伦传》了，是否真是 to buy time at the expense of one's own reputation
