Wasn't Nicole his wife at that time and we get to see more than required and unnecessary gratuitous ass and tits shot of Nicole and moreover porno of the naval officer beep her, putting his hands between her legs and squeezing her tits. (they didn't use a double here for sure)
or is it the Murican culture where husbands are fine with their wives being a public urinal where any man can come and take a dip? -

She's not property. If he should be jealous, then she should be, too, since he was involved with porn in the movie, too.
Yeah, it was just a big budget porn flick. I can imagine what was going on during the editing.
They've been in other weird movies, though. He was in Vanilla Sky, better than Eyes Wide Shut but still weird. She's been in some cutting edge stuff, too. I saw a play shot in video that starred her. Saw it on tv. No sets. The whole thing was done on a dark stage, with circles drawn in chalk to represent houses and such. Artsy. Very unpleasant to watch, since it dealt with kidnapping and torture and oppression and female slavery. I must say that the surprise ending made the play make sense and was a good ending, but it was still a weird play. It had a plot, though, unlike Eyes Wide Shot, and a moral (things are not always what they seem). -

To each his own, but I found that movie insufferable. Except for Cameron Diaz. Her psycho GF turn scared the **** out of me.

because it reminded them a lot of a Scientology Halloween party they attended?
As for her getting felt up, I've read she used to run it in him with a strap on. He was probably glad to have another guy run interference for him for a little while. -

There is no such thing as too much naked Nicole Kidman, particularly the way she looked back then. One thing I love about her is that she's an A list actress who never had a problem with nudity.

Wives are not property and she doesn't nor did not need his or anyone else's permission to do anything. She's a beautiful woman who has body confidence and I'm sure Tom was proud of that too and was happy to show the world that beauty.
Plus she's a professional and does wherever the role may require of her. In this case it required some nudity and sex scenes. That's it, it's her job to make us believe something which isn't real and there's nothing lewd or seedy about it. If you seriously think otherwise then she's obviously done her job very well. -

Tom needs scientology's permission to do anything in his life.
Do you think it's a coincidence that they ended their sham marriage not long after this film? The film is about a woman 'opening her eyes' ala the film poster and a man taking a deep and meaningful journey and learning/doing nothing. Nicole got the hell out of the scientology trap and Tom stuck his head further in.
Consider how Cruise treated his next wife and child..who ended up doing the same Scientology escape trick.

I guess you haven't seen many films and, therefore, don't understand what it is that actors do for a living - or "Murican" culture for that matter. -

A filmmaker whom curiously went out of his way to accommodate Cruise's "no nudity" clause (the mirror scene where Nicole is nude with bum hanging out obviously pans up and closer to ensure the second Cruise enters the frame he's not exposed) yet clearly felt at 100% liberty to film Nicole in any way he wanted.
