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.
最後還是傳統的互相和解大團圓結局
印度能拍能播是不是离homo合法也不远了 我们要下个世纪吗
有点惊喜。如果去台湾上映，这位潮汕妈妈值得一个金马影后提名。真的太真实了，现实里见过的闽南潮汕女人就是这样的……然后这个情节的主线也是一个真问题，身边太多这种因为媳妇是外地而被拆散的例子了。结尾确实有美化，电影嘛。
严防死守！都是骗你先结婚，结婚就万事大吉了吗？生孩子！生了以后呢？二胎！再生一个以后呢？三胎！剧是皆大欢喜，现实中有风险需谨慎。（ps：女二好像张钰琪啊，嗓音也有点沙 “你真的要抽血吗？还是我们可以去喝咖啡？”）
题材还是不错的，最出彩的地方在于女主对男主说我以为gay会更体恤女生一点，而男主的回答是，我是gay，但这并不代表我和主流价值秩序相冲突。性别问题，可见一斑。结尾部分其实没什么力度，有些过于美好。
电影略略长，看了三次才看完。最后强调love is love和法律使同性恋领养合法化，特别是最后四个人坐在一起的画面很动人。男主坦白那场群像的构图太太太经典了，赞～多多关注非典型的性取向吧～第一次看关于形婚的电影，最后落脚点在于领养这个点，还是踩得蛮好的。
正面意义上的要素齐全，好在往往反对声音最大的爸爸 在剧中都是善解人意的一方，如果是传统保守大男子主义的爸爸，或许结尾也就不会那么好
对于关系的讨论，其实还只是停留在表面，但对于地方的风俗和家庭氛围刻画的不无生动有趣。影片的亲切感，强烈地溢出屏幕，以至于在好多根本算不上泪点的地方，竟然也情不自禁了。我相信电影的积极的现实意义大于技法本身，华语电影需要这样的电影。
对于之前完全不了解潮汕文化的我来说，看到了台湾电影的影子。想来潮汕虽属广东，却与闽南更相像吧。今时今日，潮汕地区宗法制对普通人生活的影响之大，是习惯了亲戚数年不走动，邻居相见不相识的生长于北方偏北城市的我难以想象的，但宗法亲邻，本就与民俗饮食俱荣俱损，两难的事情很难兼美，但不管哪里的妈妈都是最好的妈妈。
现实的开场，梦幻的结局，欢笑中反映出心酸的现实，印度已经能把这个题材拍的这么深刻了。
最重要的是把那些该死的困境全展现出来了
有很多粗糙的地方，但潮汕风情展现得不错基本能盖住缺点。妈妈是全片最最亮眼立体的角色。PS：尊重，但真心不喜欢厌女氛围如此浓重的地方。
方言拍摄还挺有意思的。作为一个闽南人，对于潮汕的很多风俗是熟悉的。传统文化方面，现代人应该去精华去糟粕。离过婚还真不是什么了不起的大事情吧。最后的和解和大团圆很突兀。好想去潮汕吃牛肉丸和火锅。
看了导演的幕后才知道，原来是非专业出身的新人导演+飞机都没坐过的素人演员，单凭这两点，已经值五星了
一部以形婚为题材描绘出的同性恋群体生存画像，整体轻松幽默，就是长了点，但我挺感动，没想到在一部印度的片子里同时看到了gay、les、形婚、领养等话题，而我们看到的《神动3》连一句“because i was in love with you.”都要剪掉……
很喜欢的电影，在电影里生活，真实和平凡的问题，或许有心却无法解决。明明都是很好的人，可偏偏难两全。感谢还有惊喜出现，慰藉一些。
老兄，这可是🇮🇳片诶！！！！！！！18年才正式废除JJ罪，22年就给得出这样的影视剧，这不得近乎满分支持下？！
男女主从一开始瞒着家人，到最后被动或主动出柜，家人一开始的不理解到最后慢慢接受，电影中都表现得很有感染力，最后支持同性的游行，表明同性在社会中的认可度也在提高，只是难以相信这是在印度，如果印度都能开明如此，我们为何不可。
剧本太薄弱了，冲突，和解，都是很老套的部分，好在比较真诚，再好一点可以是潮汕版的四个春天。
