1:58:01
His understanding of humans. . .
1:58:04
. . .was that we are very bittersweet.
1:58:08
But he admired, I think. . .
1:58:11
. . .like, passion and commitment
and Ioyalty.
1:58:16
Ultimately, Eyes Wide Shut
is about commitment.
1:58:20
It's a very hopeful film.
People see it as dark. . .
1:58:23
. . .but it's very hopeful.
1:58:28
I must see you again.
1:58:32
-That's impossible.
-Why?
1:58:36
Because. . .
1:58:40
. . .I'm married.
1:58:42
His films are often thought
to be without pity.
1:58:45
That's a good quality,
it seems to me. . .
1:58:48
. . .because he's saying, "We are like
this. We are hopeless, muddled. . .
1:58:52
. . .fallible, desperate,
needing-Iove human beings. "
1:58:58
In the end, I think that's what
is the central quality of his films.
1:59:02
He tells us about human beings
as we are. . .
1:59:05
. . .not as we'd like to imagine we are.
1:59:08
The heart of it
was illustrating a truth. . .
1:59:13
. . .about relationships and sexuality.
1:59:15
It was not illustrated
in a literal way. . .
1:59:19
. . .but in a theatrical way.
1:59:21
People said the streets weren't
like New York.
1:59:24
I said, "It doesn't matter.
Look at the name of the street.
1:59:27
No such street exists in New York.
1:59:29
In a funny way, it's as if you're
experiencing New York in a dream.
1:59:33
It seems like New York, but it's not.
1:59:35
It seems like your wife, you know,
but what is she telling me?
1:59:40
And do I want to know?
Maybe I shouldn't ask. "
1:59:43
Because I'm a beautiful woman. . .
1:59:45
. . .the only reason any man
ever wants to talk to me. . .
1:59:51
. . .is because he wants to fuck me.
Is that what you're saying?
1:59:58
Well, I don't think it's quite
that black-and-white. . .
