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.
7分。基于历史拐点的创作，实际上属于架空历史的剧作。从电影语言角度审视可圈可点，原著作者和导演大概希望对张伯伦这位颇具争议的历史人物做一种重新认识和评估。
历史真相能知道的不多，从影片来看比较认可张伯伦的处理方式，有准备赴战总比仓促应战的好，当然做出这样的选择需要有很好的个人牺牲精神。
我至今仍然记得初中历史课本里猛烈地抨击张伯伦，以至于一提到绥靖两个字，我首先想到的就是他挥舞着那张纸的样子，仿佛他才是那个反派。电影的结尾说张伯伦的做法让盟国有了充足的准备赢得战争，其实如何评价张伯伦，这个问题的答案并不重要，重要的是要有自己的思考，以及多角度看问题的意识。
7/10
怎么感觉和现在的乌克兰局势挺像。还是有人很清醒的认识到战争的危害，可惜无力阻挡历史的车轮
i know it's not the best,but it made me break.
挺有意思的题材，节奏和人物都非常温吞。Netflix拍这种题材还是差一口气
站在张伯伦的角度，他不惜自己的个人的名誉，将希特勒架在了道德的制高点上，验证了希特勒的虚伪和暴力，对历史也是起到了他的贡献
英国外交官不回家的原因找到了 心系德牧 （荞麦和三姐别搭了演完母子演夫妻这俩人真没啥cp感） 无论如何做出过努力而不是在等死，总会有希望，而不抱希望会更好。车内道别一场，美人流泪心痛！
看看短评不得不说两句，只能说导演的目的达到了，洗张伯伦被人接收了。我想说的是，再怎么洗，也不能抹杀所谓欧洲大国为一己之私不惜牺牲小国，这就是你们居然能理解张伯伦的背后，想想吧，我知道会有人说国际政治就这么残酷，但不代表这就是应该，你们应该以这样的理解为耻。话说回来，片子不错，最后文件拿回来那一刻我居然也热泪盈眶
2022.05.15我们不能选择生活的时代，但我们可以选择如何回应。致敬热血青年！
电影开始反思历史，我们学的历史都是说英法的绥靖政策导致二战爆发，这部电影从另外一个角度来评价张伯伦
帝国毁灭里的小黄终于演了元首了，所以是升级了还是降级了？说回故事本身，大时代插入与历史无作用的小人物是半虚构创作的惯常操作，然而影片两位男主的动机都很顺拐和强行，整体平铺直叙唯一的反转点就在打字妹身上实际也是效果寥寥，当然最大的不适点还是对张伯伦的翻案，你说他的绥靖有没有其他方面的考虑那是可能的，但你说是他拖延了时间换来了胜利可就扯了
影片故事取材的角度比较新颖，既有可以最高决策的领导人，也把三个不同政治立场、人生遭遇的同学作为切入点，让观众记住大事件的发生，有个宏观的了解，同时也从小人物的命运当中，深刻地领会到，为阻止战争对各国人民带来的深重灾难，许多人都做了很多的努力，但是一个专制的战争政治机器一旦启动，很少有人能够让它停下来。
題材屬於高難度的那種，拍得好可成就經典，但N記拍成了類近每月之星的流水帳。
欧美也是这一套，坏的只是这个人，而不是反思制度
Jeremy Irons很棒；一首德文jazz 一首片尾曲都很棒；有种追忆似水年华的味道。
原以为是要给张伯伦洗白，没想到是还原事实…
i know it's not the best,but it made me break.
在当下的时局看这部电影尤为感触。是否洗白我无法判断，有一点我理解，越级报告一般领导总是要摆姿态的，但一定会放到心里去。
