hi,
because the movie stinks. The characters often sound like they time warped back to the Seventies. They smoke pot, and have temper tantrums
like 70's kids, we were in our 20's back then . The plot is driven by a mid life crisis, of the sort you see in men in their 30's. Cruise simply cruises thru that crisis, giving you no sense of why this centered and successful young physician suddenly turns thrill seeker. The sex cult has an odd feeling of unreality, as if Kubrick was bringing a fantasy to life.
Either that or the private lives of Brits are a lot stranger than i had supposed. And the danger that moves the crisis along, well, what can you say? To borrow a phrase: 'what's their motivation?'. The poor bugger simply lost it; and no one involved in the project had the intelligence, or compassion, to call it off. The best thing i can say about this movie is that you get to see Nicole Kidman naked, a lot. Do Kubrick a favor and avoid it. I wish i had.
