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.
3.5星。新剧场版系列除基本都是老版内容的第一部之外，余下的越来越差……但庵野秀明较之几十年前变温柔了，随着年岁增长而与过去的自己和解了吧，或者就像片子里说的那样，长大成熟了吧。希望庵野让EVA就到此为止吧。
前半部分就是《EVA：向往的生活》，插秧种田劈柴喂母鸡，中间有一句“運転っていいんでしょう、気分転換になる”，BGM突然FF了起来，下一个镜头就是钓鱼，笑死我了。后半段没什么好说的，没人会把老贼CP乱炖当真吧，不会吧不会吧。#只要我不承认，官配永远是我心里的那两个人（？
真嗣和明日香本来就不怎么般配，眼镜娘于我也有点儿奇怪，那句中文"再见"是啥意思？
所谓长大成人，就是当我们面对这个肮脏的世界时，发现不全是坏事。
再见了，EVA！再见了，青春！再见了，绫波丽！谢谢你真嗣！
全系列最佳，被充分治愈。像我这种路人，一直希望每个角色能真心放下和成长啊。
这是一个无限自我重复自我繁殖自我进化的故事 从1995年到2021年，26年间eva三次走到了终点。更多回归老电视版结局同时再往前踏进一步。也许这真的是作为影像故事的eva最后的终点，在这个不可思议无限轮回的故事看到的皆是自己的镜像，还有如列车般无限循环往复的日常和成长，感谢和eva的相遇相伴，再见。
“儿子能为父亲做的唯一的事情，要么拍拍他的肩膀，要么杀了他”
不知道还有多少人能透过那一帧一秒的画面与对话体悟到庵野老贼“不落而又窠臼”“装不持而又辞辛苦”“明厌而又不厌透”，坚持到今天。
6b4t之后再也不会相信“eva不是宅向动漫”这种话了 这真是宅向得不能再宅向了。。。年纪大了也不会因为母性觉得碇真嗣这样的自闭男孩有吸引力 女性角色都很不错 除了莫名其妙都对真嗣好感之外 明日香的结局不错 我想看这部电影 2014-08-16
非cp党观感极佳。父子和解，唯替真嗣挡枪，13号机从身后拥抱初号机…看到最后只叹好温柔（只是一如既往心疼香。😢
与周围人和解，与自我和解，完成自我接纳、自我成长。庵野秀明是不是看过阿德勒的心理学作品？
就连不食人间烟火的克隆人也在告诉大家劳动最光荣，努力工作和劳动人民一起才有生命的意义。
诸神，恐惧，与欲望都住在发丝里
表达的还是那些东西，形式上又掉了个档次，只不过换了个视角，实际就是在复制自己，作者的艺术生涯在第一部剧场版完结时，其实已经结束了。
終：我不会让时间倒流，也不会还原以前的世界，我只是打算重写一个没有EVA的世界，一个人们可以生活的新世界。
真嗣和明日香本来就不怎么般配，眼镜娘于我也有点儿奇怪，那句中文"再见"是啥意思？
不要惹社恐的人 讲不定哪天ta给你补完了（）
“受伤的人并非只有你一个……
人类补完和阿西莫夫的盖亚模式一样也许确实是人类最终最合理的归宿，但别是现在。个体五花八门的缺陷和不完美或许才是魅力所在。
