text: " eyes wide shut " . where ever i go in the world ; i find a different title translation . folks , what is it? i mean what this title means exactly . and for non americans ; how did you translate it , in your countries ? i'm french, and i think they kept the same title. but i'm sure people don't understand what it means!  it means that you can see a lot of things, but it doesn't mean you really understand what's going on around you (which is what happens to cruise in the film: he discovered a world that he didn't know about and which astounded him - eyes wide open - but didn't understand what was going on)
