Just realized some thing , Ceniza in Spanish means ASH in English ......maybe it means something . I just thought it was odd that the brothers sir name is Ceniza meaning ASH in English.

I've seen this movie 4 or 5 times trying to understand everything. I miss something every time I see it and catch it the next. I still don't understand who or what green eyes is. I don't know if she's evil or divine. When she rides Corso like a wild woman with the flames and evil laugh to go with it all, I'm pretty sure she has to be a fallen one. They say you sleep with everyone that your partner has slept with when you get together, and between Leonna and green eyes, I'd say his sin cup be runneth over.

uuhhhh, when I hallucinate some creepy dead ghost granny who is decomposing in front of me while chasing me through a haunted hotel I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ABOUT IT EITHER

Nice video but I completely disagree with it. If you know about the deep inner workings of Hollywood, this film makes more sense.

I think reading too much into the movie, but I still enjoy it. I will disagree with the theory

The sex party scene is pretty tame compared to a Diddy party.

It’s pretty neat that both Robert De Niro and AlPacino had played Lucifer

It’s a fan.

What was the purpose of the girl? why was Satan even manifest in events about him?

Superb analysis. The score was perfection.edit: Lucifer was the most beautiful of the Angels.

No evidence for the room 237 "dream" theory. In fact the film's continuity itself totally debunks it, i.e. the clothes Danny is wearing. Rob Ager talked an absolute load of shit on this one I'm afraid.

11:20 I often wondered if Kubrick placed the Verona Restaurant prominently in the background as a reference to the "Secret Treaty of Verona" conspiracy theory. A supposed treaty between European monarchs to undermine America and republicanism in general. The conspiracy theory apparently had an influence in creating the "Monroe Doctrine"

Very interesting take, I love your videos

My wife pointed out this possibility earlier today. She even mentioned how the lady with the baby has a baby carriage from the early 1900’s, which could imply that she’s not real or is a ghost.

Ehh... it was a valiant effort, but I'm light of the themes explored across Kubrick's lexicon, and the fact that he is self referential across his filmography, it just makes more sense to me that Ager is on point with his analysis.

Teddy bears are a symbol of child trafficking. It's obvious Eyes Wide Shut.

I could have sworn one was in black cloak at the occult party I saw him behind corso when lady got strangled?? But still yeah

I always believed that she was Evangeline's mother, a wraith.

Stop making my brain hurt.

So many christians are triggered by this movie no suprises there. I assumed after watching the first time she was just a witch but a gatekeeper or lilith does make more sense.

0:23 Looks like a red cartoon monster face in the car window.

Has anyone read the novel? Good Lord. It's about alcoholism and Stephen King's struggle.

It’s not accurate to say there’s no prior indication of Helena being in danger. Red cloak explicitly warns: “If you tell anyone a single solitary thing about what you’ve seen here, there will be the most dyer consequences for you AND your family…” The moment Cruise tells Kidman the whole story, they cut to the last scene where Helena disappears behind two men in a toy store. Sure, we may be reading too much into the purposeful ambiguity. But Kubrick controlled every detail and it was a choice for Helena to disappear into the crowd, followed by two men. There are very few accidents in Kubrick film.

Red Magic Circle is right there in the toy store

Being in the occult, and listening to one of my great lectures. I see how so many people just don’t get this. I’m glad to see someone does.

I literally got a mid-roll ad for a casino 🫠

2:57 some of that comes from transference - she is angry at the loss of her job and transfers that anger over to her successful husband, Dr. Bill. Did he ruin her job? No. But she can be angry at him anyway.

ITS CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING!

When Bill sits down to talk to Domino there is an angel post card over his left shoulder 6:36 When he returns to talk to Sally, the angel post card is gone. 6:45

I love this movie but there’s SO much missing from dialogue in the script. It makes me wonder what the film would’ve been like if these scenes weren’t removed. Parker probably cut down at least a third of the scenes for a natural theatrical release, but then a movie such as The Godfather is 3 hours long.

I've always had a dimly held suspicion that Jack was about to abuse Danny in that scene. It's never been serious, and the reason I say that, is because he speaks too forthcomingly and confidently to Danny in the scene, which I suspect a real abuser wouldn't do. Also, Jack was very forthcoming about his dream to Wendy, which he didn't need to be, which suggests that he's not in the habit of hiding things from his family. Danny entering the room in a severely traumatized state could've been an extraordinarily unfortunate piece of bad luck for Jack, immediately happening JUST after he'd conveyed the nature of his dream to his wife, and the look on his face (to me) is that of a little boy fearing being blamed for something that they know, an adult might not completely understand. The camera shots of Jack's face might've been an "invitation" for the watching viewer to "judge" Jack right at the pivotal moment. Jack's reaction when he's next seen walking toward The Gold Room, suggests his indignation at being blamed unfairly for injuring Danny, so I absolutely believe that Jack really was innocent entirely. Jack being given validation by being believed of his innocence after Wendy runs in and tells of Danny's account of the crazy woman, is what "allows" him to revert to getting pissed off at her when they're later talking after coming back from visiting room 237.

When Kessler’s secretary dropped the bag of oranges down the stairs, it was probably a nod to the Godfather. The orange symbolizes death.

In the screenplay Savost says he's "got friends in publishing"..

Dr. Bill + Alice (glasses) = Dr. Carl (glasses) + Marion

Zeigler: "Just knocking a few [of your] balls around."

The two men in the toy store were sitting down as Bill walks up the stairs right before he meets Mandy.

It's a fantastic movie and still holds up in 2024, Parker did a masterful interpretation of the original subject matter....and what sublime acting alround.

Bill starts dreaming in the room with Nathanson's daughter (Marion) and wakes up in Zeigler's library/pool room. Notice the clicking clocks in both scenes, as if he was being hypnotized and awaken.

I haven’t heard anyone talk about how there’s red any time Tom Cruises character is being “tested” by the secret organization

You’ll still don’t get it, it is revealed to Corso that the world we live in is the realm of shadows, this so called devil is actually the god of light whom opens the kingdom of heaven for corso to escape this world of shadows we live in.

In a different video you theorized that characters' closeness to the Devil is correlated with how high from the ground they're depicted, but what if it's the other way around? The characters who occupy the highest buildings are the furthest away from the Devil and characters close to ground level are closest. I think that would mean that out of all the characters Balkan was actually the furthest from his 'master' and the one who was closest was... Bernie the bookseller? Might this theory lead to any interesting interpretations about what was actually going on?

Toots didn't choke on his words. He choked on his chicken 🐔

Tom Cruise does a great job with such a ridiculous script! I found nothing mysterious in this film, only the willful mystification of a gullible audience, which is one of the hackneyed devices of Modernist anti-art. The film says less than nothing about men and women. You could learn more from an episode of 'Happy Days'. The audience is duped into thinking its getting high art, when its merely getting glorified trash. Is it not ironic that the last word uttered (by Kidman), in the last film of Kubrick is an expletive - that says it all. Kubrick may be a master of technique, but not of storytelling. Kubrick's films are designed to draw attention to themselves, rather than communicate anything of value to their audiences.

I enjoyed “the letter theory,” in that with just changing the ONE SCENE where Bill reads the letter threatening him to stay away it was changed before release. From a threat to go after his wife and child to the MUCH tamer threat of “we hope this will be sufficient,” It helps bring a lot of the story together, especially the ending.

crazy that stanley kubrick just followed tom cruise around with a camera all day and made a movie out of it

She's the whore of Babylon. Mentioned in revelations

Could Balkan have been The Fool? He believed that having the engravings was all that was required. He never realized the engravings depicted experiences that LCF required.

Candelabra not menorah.
