or is it the Murican culture where husbands are fine with their wives being a public urinal where any man can come and take a dip?
It is when the husband is gayer than a pastel rainbow.
I almost forgot to ask where it is that you come from where people take dips in urinals? Round here, we just pee in em and flush em. No immersion necessary.

What an idiotic comment. You are an Indian; so am I so don't take offence against "westerners" when I say Indian culture needs to have a hard look at itself. There is nothing wrong with nudity in any aspect and especially when concerning art. Had it been unnecessary shots to titillate the audience I might consider your point. In fact when EYS released most reviewers stated something similar: "We wanted sex and got boring Kubrickian fantasy instead whereas that was the WHOLE point of Kubrick(among other things).that we as a society have become so enamored with sex and nudity.
Besides Kubrick was a living legend back then and no sane actress would have passed on the honor of having his stamp on their resume. I'd have gladly pimped myself and my wife(with her consent of course).

.Nicole already had a career If anything, your point of view is what seems more degrading to women
Grant discovered raptor eggs in Jurassic Park

It ties into the topic:
Tom: he's showing off his hot wife. He seems clearly at home except in the scenes where his character is supposed to look uncomfortable.
Nicole: most likely is doing it just to build her acting cred (which we now know paid off). Must've been pretty uncomfortable for her (she's clearly uncomfortable in most scenes, maybe the character's meant to look like that or Nicole simply couldn't hide it enough).

'kay. This has nothing to do with the topic, really, but OK.
Fighting the frizzies, at 11.

A filmmaker whom curiously went out of his way to accommodate Cruise's "no nudity" clause (the mirror scene where Nicole is nude with bum hanging out obviously pans up and closer to ensure the second Cruise enters the frame he's not exposed) yet clearly felt at 100% liberty to film Nicole in any way he wanted.

You sound a bit repressed.
Working with perhaps the greatest filmmaker to ever live (certainly one of them) isn't reason enough?
Fighting the frizzies, at 11.

Reasons and stuff.

Wasn't Nicole his wife at that time and we get to see more than required and unnecessary gratuitous ass and tits shot of Nicole and moreover porno of the naval officer beep her, putting his hands between her legs and squeezing her tits. (they didn't use a double here for sure)

I guess you haven't seen many films and, therefore, don't understand what it is that actors do for a living - or "Murican" culture for that matter.

Tom needs scientology's permission to do anything in his life.
Do you think it's a coincidence that they ended their sham marriage not long after this film? The film is about a woman 'opening her eyes' ala the film poster and a man taking a deep and meaningful journey and learning/doing nothing. Nicole got the hell out of the scientology trap and Tom stuck his head further in.
Consider how Cruise treated his next wife and child..who ended up doing the same Scientology escape trick.

Wives are not property and she doesn't nor did not need his or anyone else's permission to do anything. She's a beautiful woman who has body confidence and I'm sure Tom was proud of that too and was happy to show the world that beauty.
Plus she's a professional and does wherever the role may require of her. In this case it required some nudity and sex scenes. That's it, it's her job to make us believe something which isn't real and there's nothing lewd or seedy about it. If you seriously think otherwise then she's obviously done her job very well.

There is no such thing as too much naked Nicole Kidman, particularly the way she looked back then. One thing I love about her is that she's an A list actress who never had a problem with nudity.

because it reminded them a lot of a Scientology Halloween party they attended?
As for her getting felt up, I've read she used to run it in him with a strap on. He was probably glad to have another guy run interference for him for a little while.

"it was just a big budget porn flick."

LOL, What ?

Dogville is a great movie. You should watch it again.

dude it was about a secret society, the illuminati, the people who control you. how does this not register with you you brainless puppet?? do you not know about the rothschilds?

He was in Vanilla Sky, better than Eyes Wide Shut
To each his own, but I found that movie insufferable. Except for Cameron Diaz. Her psycho GF turn scared the **** out of me.

I guess you refer to the movie Dogville.

She's not property. If he should be jealous, then she should be, too, since he was involved with porn in the movie, too.
Yeah, it was just a big budget porn flick. I can imagine what was going on during the editing.
They've been in other weird movies, though. He was in Vanilla Sky, better than Eyes Wide Shut but still weird. She's been in some cutting edge stuff, too. I saw a play shot in video that starred her. Saw it on tv. No sets. The whole thing was done on a dark stage, with circles drawn in chalk to represent houses and such. Artsy. Very unpleasant to watch, since it dealt with kidnapping and torture and oppression and female slavery. I must say that the surprise ending made the play make sense and was a good ending, but it was still a weird play. It had a plot, though, unlike Eyes Wide Shot, and a moral (things are not always what they seem).

"Probably because they got to work with a legend"

I would be very surprised if that (working with Stanley Kubrick) was actually not 1 of the main reasons why they agreed to do the Movie.

They dope you with religion, sex and tv
You pretend you're so clever, classless and free
Do you see what this film is getting at or still EWS?
Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride

Uh. Probably because they got to work with a legend and Tom Cruise wouldn't worry about any shmoe feeling up his wife. If you know what I mean.
