Very few films can deal with sex and fidelity in ways that deal with the human experience while having an anti-Soviet message at the same time.ĭirector Philip Kaufman has had an uneven career, he has been involved in either writing or directing some of the greatest films in the last forty years, he's also been involved in some of the worst. Perhaps as a faithful adaptation of the novel, it fails, but as a truly magnificent film, it succeeds. Cue to the people who've read Kundera's novel and seen the film to mutter those ever so cliché words, "The book was better than the movie." But it would be entirely unfair to compare a film to a novel since both mediums have their limits and their strengths. He has said that the film bears little resemblance to his novel or the characters in it. they are the dreamers."The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is a based on the 1984 existential novel by Milan Kundera, who despite having an uncredited role as a supervisor, would later go on to denounce the film. and finally there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the imaginary eyes of those who are not present. one day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. their situation is as dangerous as the situation of people in the first category. then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. people in the second category, on the other hand, can always come up with the eyes they need. this happens to nearly all of them sooner or later.
they are happier than the people in the first category, who, when they lose their public, have the feeling that the lights have gone out in the room of their lives. they are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. the second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. the first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public. we can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under.
