heh, i actually had a different reading of the end of that movie than anyone else. I saw Eyes Wide Shut as a lot like Barry Lyndon, and I thought both of those movies were stressing how utterly boring it can be to be upper-class, routinized, and ultimately kind of phony. So when everything was okay between them at the end, it felt like it was almost because they had been so bored in their marriage and daily life that they needed some weirdness and deciet to spice it up, and once they had it, they felt better again.
