Whoever said this movie is a piece of pornographic garbage is clearly an idiot with no brain, or more likely a religious idiot with no brain. Of course there is sex in this movie, but it is neither emotionally rewarding to the characters or is it appealing to watch (Mostly the orgy scenes) this is what Kubrick intended. In Nicole Kidman's and Tom Cruise's relationship there are no real feelings of love or hate, they look at each other with their eyes wide shut. If you want to understand what I mean see the movie.

Graphic sexual masterpiece...
Stanley Kubrick has done it again, but this time it is certainly not for anyone under 17.

First time i saw it, i was 10,
My sister rented this movie from blockbusters when she was 15...I wanted to watch it too..now certainly it isnt something you would want your young child watching, but from first hand experience, it really didnt fase me much..now i look at it differently. i'm not completly turned off by it, but i think its rather interesting and excentric.

Pornographic garbage
Why did I watch this? Full of sex, pornography, language and unfaithfulness. Why would anyone want to fill their heads with this garbage? Tom and Nicole made a BIG mistake.

Watch it!
Let me first just say, this is a masterpiece. Don't listen to people who don't believe this, they can't understnad the true meaning of it. At first I watched it, and I pretty much hated it. I thought that it was graphic, inappropriate, and odd. Then I watched an in-depth analysis, it's on YouTube, just type in "Eyes Wide Shut anaylsis" there are three parts. PLEASE WATCH IT IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT YOU'RE FEELINGS FOR THIS MOVIE! It definitally changed my view, now I going around reccomending it to everyone. I'm 13, so I was shocked by the graphic sex scenes, but they're not really that bad. So watch it!

Misunderstood
Eyes Wide Shut is not the pornographic nonsense so many others think it is. It is a slow-paced, dreamlike sequence of sexual fantasies. I understand why people hate it, though. Women will clearly be offended by their treatment in the film. Though I'm sure if the story was rversed (that is, told from a woman's perspective), women wouldn't have the same feeling, nd men would feel offended by being dropped down from the leadership and pimp-like position they fancy they automatically have. I will agree it is not for children at all, though.
