2:03:02
That is a great luxury that only
somebody like he could afford. . .
2:03:06
. . .because of what he'd achieved
through his career to be able to say:
2:03:10
"Do you want to know what's gold
with filmmaking? Time is gold. "
2:03:14
Not having to walk away
from a scene. . .
2:03:17
. . .before you feel like
you really perfected it.
2:03:22
I wanted to make fun of you. . .
2:03:26
. . .to laugh in your face.
2:03:32
And so I laughed as loud as I could.
2:03:50
That must have been
when you woke me up.
2:04:00
The other thing Stanley hated doing
was ever explaining himself.
2:04:04
"So, what's the film about, Stanley?"
2:04:06
He'd look down,
look away and not answer.
2:04:12
The same for a scene, "What do you
really want this scene to be?"
2:04:16
He'd never answer that.
2:04:18
Eyes Wide Shut seems to be
a rake's progress story.
2:04:22
He goes on an adventure that could
turn out any way.
2:04:26
It's an irresponsible adventure
for him to embark on.
2:04:29
It's a fantasy, isn't it?
It's a dream film.
2:04:32
I don't think we're supposed to
believe anything that we see.
2:04:36
One thing that people do have
a hard time with in the cinema. . .
2:04:40
. . .is ambiguity.
2:04:42
Ambiguity is great, but in the cinema
it's almost verboten.
