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.
可以理解张伯伦的出发点，一站以后没人愿意打仗😮💨 btw乔治迈凯真的好帅啊
德国人里头有清醒的，不容易，这需要格外的勇气。
情热酒酣派对欢，欧陆战云正翻卷。
绥靖主义，很小就学到的这一词汇，现在才知道这就等同于“要和平不要战争”
张伯伦已成为曲线救国的坚忍老头了，当然这是英国人的一厢情愿。
二战+英德+夏日回忆+牛津校友+外交官×翻译官重逢，对不起但这妥妥的是带英男同片配置啊，建议加上《莫里斯》《故园风雨后》组成二战爱情三部曲。（Ps.杰尼斯的帅气程度让我狂喜，欧美年轻一代演员终于有一个正经大帅哥了，流lui感慨，请给他多塞资源！）
Hoping is waiting for someone else to do it 想来这是我第一次看到希特勒形象的电影，压迫感太强，刺杀太紧张，车上永别太好哭了……时代的洪流将会席卷每一个人，sooner or later
算是另一个角度去解读历史，洗白与否不参与讨论，只觉得个人在宏大的历史叙事前如此的渺小和无力。另，这是一个最不像的希特勒了。
是一部适合当下看的预言电影，因为主体状态从未改变。
关于慕尼黑协定的再思考，知道希特勒的野心却在舆论中无法做出更多举动，号称牺牲自己的名誉争取备战时间却其实助长了纳粹的飞扬跋扈，杰瑞米艾恩斯饰演的张伯伦可谓入木三分，而两位主角不同的形象其实也是那个根本无法预知未来的时代的不同群体的反映
影片中张伯伦的形象很高大，他不惜牺牲自己声誉，拯救天下苍生。但是无论张伯伦动机如何，这都不是绥靖合理的理由。为张伯伦绥靖喝彩的人，是不是不知道捷克斯洛伐克代表卑微命运，他们只能在会议室门口等着；是不是不知道捷克斯洛伐克最终被德国吞并
政治是丑陋的，程序是必须的。很难说英国的文化和官僚体制是完全无效的，即是无捷径，不走极端。
如果可以让第三次世界大战不爆发，请尽管将前两次无尽的解读下去吧。
看这部电影，忽然想到李鸿章当年去日本签《马关条约》，莫名觉得有些情状似乎相似。两个曾是同学的外交官，卷进一次重大的外交活动中，想通过个人努力来改变某种历史进程，这无疑是编导自以为是的一种穿越改命之举。那段面对希特勒欲刺未刺的情节太假了，出现在想象中还差不多。有点遗憾的是希特勒的扮演者太不像了，看着有点出戏。
电影氛围感挺强，演员演技中规中矩不是很推荐的影视作品，高潮部分不够精彩，过程不够流畅，对我而言断断续续的。
十年过去 仍然记得中学历史书上张伯伦的那张照片“我们已经拿到了和平的保证”。是的，希望，是指望别人做一些事来改变，但是，we have to fight，and I will definitely fight。看完这样的历史战争片总是内耗太大，不动一枪一火却能感受到其中的紧张。老板给我的感觉还真的和首相一样，日理万机之间跟你抽空说几分钟……
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。
虽然很喜欢荞麦和Jannis，但是片子漏洞有点多，这间谍工作做的太不走心了。但是不得不说网飞全球业务真的不错，德国人都是德国人演而且都说德语，比以前的让英美演员演德国人强多了。没细看演员表，八月出来的时候有点惊喜hhhh还是演了个欠打的nazi😂众所周知德国演员只有那么几个
execuse me？导演拍这部电影完美诠释啥叫普信没有国界
当所有人都能闻到战争时，它是不可避免的。能把平淡的故事拍成怀疑和恐惧的困局，历史是已揭秘的悬疑吧。Paul容易理想化狂热，Hugh is just Like A Puppy. 间谍活动约等于余情未了前任见面，打字员姐姐逐渐理解了一切。
