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.
这两年印度电影越老来多以女性为题材，虽然拍摄手法及剧情还有待提高，但已经是很大的进步了！有那么一点韩国电影之感，与不公抗争，为女人伸张正义。
8 women have been raped in our country.
初看以为有深层探讨，越看发现越平，群演让人印象深刻。。。
一己之力推动立法，girls help girls
强奸大国拍摄的批判强奸的电影，的确很有现实意义，作为女性我希望印度能改变女性国民的现状，而且我也希望全世界的女性都能免于被强奸的危险，希望所有强奸犯都能获得死刑，但单纯作为一部电影从观众的角度来看，不得不说前面大部分都太冗长了。
枪杀警长，坐了二十年牢。出狱后逐渐重新走入社会，同时又寻找当时年幼的妹妹。桑德拉·布洛克饰演的女主角，表演有些用力过猛，也许对获奖抱有期待。导演的叙述很不流畅，不断地用闪回来破坏节奏。故事本身尚可，只是女主用二十年牢狱换取妹妹的幸福，何必出狱后又去打扰其生活？安静地从她生活中走开，也许更理性。
解决绑架案方面，细节和合理性有待提高。解决社会问题方面，更是任重道远。
绑架提诉求形式的片子，这次是绑架了16个幼儿园孩子…整体风格让我想起了误杀二，绑架现场，警方，媒体，群众，雨天，但感觉因为没平衡好这几者的关系和对主线剧情的作用，所以前一个半小时都显得剧情推进有点慢…重头戏在结尾揭开真相的20分钟，虽然剧情猜到一多半，但还是非常有触动…印度最新女性现实题材电影，虽然没那么完美，但值得被更多人看到~3.5
旧人新纸十几里，黄泉知晓帝不知。面对这犹如一潭死水般的国家机器，如何才能一击做到振聋发聩？此片真是发人深省！
演员都挺好的！！！！！可这剧情？我这个法盲只想知道5岁孩童走火过失杀人，到底算谁的责任？怎么判？
…果然有点失望…这玩意儿换故事男主会更牛逼…
除了警长家属的支线有点刻意，其他都很好。Sandra Bullock这么好的表演竟然提名都没提，离谱。
对比前阵子那部IMDB 9.5分的《杰伊比姆》，同样都是指向印度社会的顽疾，这两部电影表达的主张其实都太过激进，相当的不靠谱。编故事拍电影，让劳苦大众嗨一下还可以，对推动社会实际的进步全无用处，还落个煽动的嫌疑。在这方面，还是应该多跟韩国电影人学：只摆事实就好了，掰开揉碎了让观众看到血淋淋的现实，不需要把主张也端出来。
要啥有啥，有始有终，最近看到的里面不错的剧情片了。2021/11/12大森家
How I feels
太棒了。毫无尿点。最后甚至感人。naina太漂亮了
"Can you practice what you preach, or would you turn the other cheek?"
是否所有印度电影都要妥协给剧情的重大 bug 以及难免去黑印度警察？前者最大的 bug 莫过于争执过程中司机与保姆（？双人不敌女主，更讽刺的是前者结尾被发现竟是当年加害强奸女主的凶手。但 me too 过去辽那么多年，不是每一部籍着 so-called 『女权』的电影都能成功。
跟误杀很像，但比误杀更深刻，对社会的意义也更大一些。当弱小者得不到保护，只能通过极端方式伸张正义的时候，这个国家和体制便到了无可救药的地步。
这个话题值得一看 内容略显不够紧凑扎实，警察都不知道里面几个人几把枪犯罪动机就敢冲 也是够虎
