Kubrick's storytelling grabs you the moment you start watching his movies, his movies may be a little difficult to understand at first but after watching it the second time you finally realize what the story is about. I didn't like Eyes Wide Shut the first time I saw it so I decided to try a second time but after that I fell in love with the movie. With this being Kubrick's last film, makes you want more from him which is not going to happen. Probably the best work he had ever done since The Shining and 2001.

Synopsis

This intensely realistic grunt's-eye-view of the Vietnam War was the film that put Oliver Stone on the map. Charlie Sheen stars as Chris, a green recruit who narrates a tale that counterpoints his own coming of age with the internal conflict brewing within his infantry rifle platoon. As Chris struggles simply to survive under the harsh conditions of the jungle, free spirit Sgt. Elias (Willem Dafoe) and combat-loving burnout Sgt. Barnes (Tom Berenger) offer opposing solutions to the riddle of guerrilla warfare. When a terrible betrayal fractures the platoon, Chris must decide where he stands.
