It used to come back over the years
again and again. . .
1:57:05
. . .and as you see friends getting
divorced and remarried. . .
1:57:08
. . .the topic would come up again.
1:57:10
It had so many variations. . .
1:57:13
. . .and so much really
serious thought to it. . .
1:57:17
. . .that he knew one day
he was going to make it.
1:57:20
May I ask why a beautiful woman. . .
1:57:24
. . .who could have any man in this
room, wants to be married?
1:57:29
Why wouldn't she?
1:57:33
Is it as bad as that?
1:57:36
As good as that.
1:57:39
Stanley's expectations of people
were not really, really high.
1:57:43
You see it in his films.
1:57:44
There was human beings he loved.
Christiane was the love of his life.
1:57:48
He would talk about her with...
He adored her.
1:57:52
That's something people didn't know.
1:57:54
His daughters, adored them.
1:57:57
I'd see that because he would
talk to me about them, very proudly.
1:58:01
His understanding of humans. . .
1:58:04
. . .was that we are very bittersweet.
1:58:08
But he admired, I think. . .
1:58:11
. . .like, passion and commitment
and Ioyalty.
1:58:16
Ultimately, Eyes Wide Shut
is about commitment.
1:58:20
It's a very hopeful film.
People see it as dark. . .
1:58:23
. . .but it's very hopeful.
1:58:28
I must see you again.
1:58:32
-That's impossible.
-Why?
1:58:36
Because. . .
1:58:40
. . .I'm married.
1:58:42
His films are often thought
to be without pity.
1:58:45
That's a good quality,
it seems to me. . .
1:58:48
. . .because he's saying, "We are like
this. We are hopeless, muddled. . .
1:58:52
. . .fallible, desperate,
needing-Iove human beings. "
1:58:58
In the end, I think that's what
is the central quality of his films.
