Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Eyes Wide Shut
湯姆克魯斯 和 妮可基德曼，《大開眼戒》
Cruise and Kidman met on the set of 1990's Days of Thunder, married later that year, and collaborated again in 1992's Far and Away -- but by the time they made their third movie together, Cruise wasn't the only superstar in the family. The real-life spouses' casting in the dark, heavily sexualized Eyes Wide Shut made headlines and subjected the film to intense tabloid scrutiny even before director Stanley Kubrick died, and their notoriety helped propel it to more than $160 million at the box office. A number of critics were left cold by Shut's glacial pace, but most scribes echoed the sentiments of Variety's Todd McCarthy, who called it "A riveting, thematically probing, richly atmospheric and just occasionally troublesome work, a deeply inquisitive consideration of the extent of trust and mutual knowledge possible between a man and a woman."
克魯斯和基德曼相遇在1990年的電影《雷霆壯志》中相識，并隨后在當年結婚，又在1992年的《大地雄心》再度合作。但當他們第三度合作時，克魯斯已經不是這個家庭里的唯一超級巨星。這對真實生活中的配偶在那部陰暗、充斥著大量性感場景的電影《大開眼戒》中的演繹，成為了新聞的頭條，甚至在導演斯坦利庫布里克去世之前本片還在緊張地審議。這些負面消息幫助推動了160，000，000美元的票房收益。很多批評家稱被該片的緩慢進度弄得昏昏欲睡，但更多的人與《綜藝》雜志的托德麥卡錫所見略同。麥卡錫把《大開眼戒》稱作是“一部扣人心弦的，有深度的，有濃郁氛圍的，偶爾有點羅嗦的作品，一次關于信任和男女之間的相互理解是否存在的深入而好奇的思考。
