Just something Ive noticed on here but you say you couldn't show scenes from the movie cause of the nudity, theres a couple of vids on here about Eyes Wide Shut that show everything including the entire party scene(these vids arent new either) youtube only censors what they can or care to ive noticed that for a long time
Rob, I think I found a cool thing you might be interested in... When Bill is going to the manor the next day and receives his second warning at the gate, there is a shot of him getting off at specifically at Glen Cove Rd, exit 39H on some highway. I looked it up and Glen Clove is a special little city near Long Island in New York. According to Wikipedia: "The city was considered part of the early 20th century Gold Coast of the North Shore, as the areas along the waterfront were developed as large country estates by wealthy entrepreneurs and businessmen such as J.P. Morgan, Phipps, Pratt, and Prybil." I looked up Phipps and Pratt as I already knew about Morgan and they turned out to be the partner of Andrew Carnegie in Carnegie Steel and part of the Rockefeller Trust, respectfully. This piqued my interest and in the immediate next scene, there is a purposefully clear shot of the sign for interstate 495. I looked _this_ up and it turns out that I495 is actually in Virginia and encircles Washington DC, a totally part of the country over 250 miles away. Why would Kubrick make that obvious error? My working theory is that the types of people that go to these parties are not only tire upper crust of New York but also the powerful in Washington... Wasn't sure if you had caught this because I haven't seen you mention it (maybe you have) and felt compelled to share! What do you think?
One thing you didn't notice or talk about was the train robbery in "the ninth car" article with a word description of a green jacket with red lining inside the jacket that Tom Cruise's character thumb points to in the left edge of the magazine in reading that article of the full page (not the torn version article). When you flashed back to the first bringing back from overdosing the red haired girl draped in a red blanket under the green door background Tom Cruise character stands in front of. We see Stanley Kubrick again over green tree lights over the angled red pool table where they discuss who died and why. I don't know if it is the overdosed woman stripper being interior jacketed by "green!" We are to study what the colors in the characters and their backgrounds are saying describing the action of the mood in the characters to expect. So the death of a star being "red" under the semi-calm environment "green" sort of character moods study? 🤔
@ArtificialDreams In the last scene with Ziegler the two places established are mentioned by the names the party and the house. Bill asks "Was she the woman at the party?" Victor answers yes. Bill asks "What kind of charade ends with someone turning up dead?" But the party wasn't what Victor called a charade, that was the house.
I worked in Public Relations with a police department in the U.S. for two years and I can tell you reporting "no suspicious circumstances" related to a death is fairly common, it's basically just police-talk for saying, "We don't intend to investigate this further."
Yes it does happen in lots of cases, but it tends to only be when there are actually circumstances where there would otherwise be cause for suspicion. I gave the Michael Jackson reports as a counter example. There's also the likes of David Bowie and Jerry Lewis, no statements of "no suspicion" that I could find regarding their deaths. It's not exactly a smoking gun of course. But the statements that SK was laughing and joking before his death. You got to admit ... that's kind of odd considering the same writer had written similar about Mandy's death in the movie.
Collative Learning Michael Jackson died in the U.S. and U.S. police dealt with that. They may have different procedures or ways of making these kinds of announcements. UK police regularly say "There are no suspicious circumstances" in response to media questions about notable deaths.
Look at it this way; If the missing 24 minutes were perfectly innocent and not a problem for anyone the director's cut would have been long ago released.
Kubrick destroyed all extra film from all of his films. No "Directors Cut" would've ever seen the light of day. Im not saying what we see is his Final Cut but no DC was ever gonna be seen. Chances are he sent the film to be destroyed anyways.
The only reason I FEEL without a shred of proof, that Kubrick might have been killed after EWS simply because of how intelligent he was. He was often the smartest man in the room. He can make a movie and have it approved before the studio even realized what it was really about. You pointed to Deniro and the director of Starship troopers making anti establishment movies and being called fascists. Kubrick as well when he made Dr Strangelove. But Kubrick was a lot smarter and resourceful than those and harder to control. They called him a fascist once already but that didn’t stop his directing career or change his approach to making movies. Even after Kubricks death he’s rarely acknowledged or mentioned by anyone in Hollywood.
As they clearly made anti fascist movies, I'm not sure why they'd be called fascists. Maybe the same way they call musk a genius when he makes horrible business decisions?

I'm not "in Hollywood" but grew up in So. Calif. Had the fortunate opportunity to watch shortly after release. Have a large poster size framed picture of Stanley in my home.
Wow , you guys are some kind of weirdo conspiracy theorists , aren't you ? Nobody killed anybody, people dies , it happens all the time ; but life goes on . so get on with your life ( if you have any ). I guess you're that kind of guy Who thinks Epstein's death was fishy too . Jesus christ 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Please stop reading too much into stuff and get a grip on reality before it gets too late .
That's only one half of the double-meaning. Our eyes are wide shut to their misdeeds as their eyes are wide shut to one another's transgressions. In other words, they keep each others secrets. They have dirt one one another in order to ensure confidentiality.
"Eyes wide shut" is a saying that secret sects have used long before the movie. Like "hidden in plain sight" terms used to imply an inside joke of the elite.
Very first time I saw this movie, some art in the cafe jumped out at me. The first is Ophelia (the suicidal virgin from Hamlet) by JW Waterhouse and the second is the Astarte (eastern goddess of love) by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. They are facing each other across the cafe. Bill sits under the latter.
Very interesting comment, given that you have Bill sitting under Astarte who is Ishtar, Inanna, Asherah, and I think, can't remember her eg. counterpart. If there's any credibility to the stories of lovers of the Queen of Heaven, then they are either straight-up sacrificial victims, or castrates.
@@jimmyjames2621they sacrificed children in Babylon on the Asherah pole - in the Bible. That goddess is one they worshipped - God said "come out of her my people." The same thing is supposed to happen in the end times, just on a more massive scale and more hidden - this is it.
My name is Stephen Shellen. I was an actor in Hollywood for 20 years and I did over 30 films. Your theory on Kubrick's death and him not being killed are way off the mark. You must know that scenes were cut from that film AFTER his death.He had full control over that picture as long as he was alive. Also, at least entertain that there were, according to crew members, scenes of child sexual abuse and pedophilia. (S.R.A. perhaps??) I was one of the actors up for Full Metal Jacket(I didn't get the role) but I spoke with one of the cast actors after and you are correct in assuming EVERYTHING in a frame of a Kubrick film is there for a reason. Nothing is left to chance
yes there were scenes cut. 24 minutes give or take, i have since seen them. they are mostly in the orgy scene and cut out for being too explicit. no scenes of child sexual abuse were there
@@gonzadiazsola ive seen those "missing minutes" too. no they are not hidden. not that hard to find really. and no there is nothing suspicious about them
@@Wallyworld30 The film is fiction and based on a 1920s novel. Not sure where you saw 'elites'--I saw anonymous people hidden behind robes and masks. Perhaps the film says more about your imagination and paranoia about some group you assign the status of 'elite'...?
Goes off?? Fukkk off. She is just exploring the shop like before and her parents are talking. How the hell are you saying that the girl went away with those 2 men?? I don't see anything like it. It was just normal. Kid was fooling around the shop.
One thing I'd like to point out: the scene where Bill is about to be gang-raped but where the woman offers to take his place is likely a reference to the biblical scene where Lot's male guest is nearly gang-raped, but Lot then offers his daughter in the guest's place. In other words, this secret society's decadence is being directly compared to that of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible. I believe she was also murdered after her rape, which would make this scene a foreshadowing of her death. Although in the biblical account, it was Lot who sacrificed his daughter. Here the woman offers herself up. This would then suggest her drug overdose was deliberate but not at the hands of others but herself, ergo, a suicide. But why? Was it a subtle warning to Bill to not get too involved in the secret society? And are the parallels with Kubrick a hint that Kubrick planned and then somehow executed his own death without it being detected? Could Kubrick have been foreshadowing his own suicide?
I figured she saved his life because he saved hers first. Plus if shes caught up in that world and can't escape, she might be welcoming death as a release at that point.
I'm watching this and my first suspicion is that Kubrick planned and "somehow" executed his own death. He is a master of getting audiences to believe. Maybe he's not dead at all. Maybe he's literally "lucky to be alive", because people believe e's dead. He has a reputation for not enjoying the attention his talents draw.
@@happinesstan wtf u talkin about he god kil**d by scientology church and deepstate "saturnalian brotherhood" as we call them, lot of you even did not saw the 8 pointed stars at Ziegler's place being everywhere and representing both fertlity (ishtar symbol) and the worship of chaos and destruction (chaos symbology, 8 pointed stars) which is a sum-up of Saturnalian Brotherhood ideology
There's an element perhaps overlooked, broadly, by reviews of EWS. And it regards his exhibited kindness toward people repeatedly...the overdosed lady, the hooker who he pays but doesn't 'do' anything with, the costume shop girl who he defends, the bereaved wife lady who he lets down very gently...over and over the movie is wound through its beginning with him just being genuinely kind to these women, which, for them, might be somewhat exotic, really. Then, when he's discovered at the masked ball as an outsider, and he's going to be stripped if he doesn't do so.....and THAT was a tense damn scene....an unknown woman sacrifices herself for him, ostensibly taking the possible sexual attack intended for him, instead onto herself. And the rest of the movie, when he'd again see a woman, the back of my mind was wondering if each woman was THE lady who saved him. Further, it makes me wonder if every person he's talking with from then on....and even prior to that moment, was part of that ball. That part greatly screwed with my head. (and I don't believe Zeigler about the overdosed girl at his party being the lady who later on got her 'brains fucked out'. I think that was a convenient lie to make things cleaner for Bill, whom he genuinely cares about)
Ziegler was telling the truth, and thats established with the fact that she'd OD'd multiple times before. Basically she was tired of this life she was trapped in and wanted to get out. She was revealed to be Miss NY yet Ziegler treated her as "just a hooker." It shows she was apart of something and the only way out was death. Notice she OD'd both times when sex was involved. Notice too, how she was a model, and the two models Bill spoke to at that earlier party, wanted to take him to "where the rainbow ends." Well when Bill was taken to the end of the Rainbow Costume shop (the gateway into this elite party), he saw a young girl and two men in drag, further hinting at the idea of modelling, fashion, pageantry all being connected to the debauchery of the film. remember the names that came up during the Epstein case?
Wow , you guys are some kind of weirdo conspiracy theorists , aren't you ? Nobody killed anybody, people dies , it happens all the time ; but life goes on .so get on with your life ( if you have any ). Please stop reading too much into stuff and get a grip on reality before it gets too late .
Every minuet detail serves a purpose in Kubrick's work, particularly his later work. I love your videos Rob. The Exorcist analysis is the best ive ever seen.
The errors/repetition of lines within the “Ex-Beauty” news article inform on foul-play and highlight key suspects in the cover-up: 1. “..was found unconscious in the Florence Hotel by security personnel after her agent asked them to check on her...” 2. “...unclear if there was anyone in the room with her..” - alluding to the Sydney Pollack/OD pattern 3. “She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds.” Fantastic work per usual, Rob!! 👏
This movie has never been more relevant given the global reach of the Epstein Scandal. However, I disagree with your assessment about the emphasis on sexuality by Kubrick. The movie is about power, not sexuality or a cult of sexuality. The billiards room scene is central to this movie. I wish I could find my review from many years ago. I will watch the movie again soon and maybe find my lost thoughts on Kubrick's genius. It is also quite ironic that Tom Cruise was playing the lead role given his association with the corrupted Church of Scientology. Your choice of movies to review is absolutely excellent and I look forward to agreeing or disagreeing with you
bigyote Stanley Kubrick one of the movies he supposedly made was the faked moon landing. We did actually land on the moon but there was also a fake movie about it. There's 23 missing parts of eyes wide shut the way the elite kill people is primarily with cyanide it gives an indication of a heart attack. It's easy to deploy you can basically spill a liquid on somebody. Unless the toxicology report is given Within a day or two. Nothing irregular is found. This was the favorite assassination method used by the CIA and a particular Hitman for the mob who outline how he killed people in a video on TH-cam no less. There are a lot of behind the scenes individuals who have an incredible power base that allows them to do many Insidious things. The fact that many people do not do evil things does not negate the fact that some people do evil things. And when you have an elite group of people who decide who will live and who will die and who will prosper and who will not. Can you not be surprised not just by conspiracy theories but by conspiracy facts. Especially with the whole pizzagate thing and Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. There is all sorts of misconduct that is actually going on. And let's just say that you're a billionaire likes say Bill Gates. To have someone often the criminal organization the going prices around 10 grand. What if you put a million-dollar contract on somebody's life or a hundred thousand? These ultra-wealthy have the ability to do that. And even if you can just find one with the mindset for corruption. Then that tells you right there that this happens.
You bring up Tom Cruise’s personal history but look up Kidman’s father’s history and it would freak you out ten times more. Even her last name “Kid Man”, eerily fitting and creepy.
Wikileaks proof of satanic child trafficking and pay for play by TDS Putin Derangement paedophilies elites Jeffrey Epstein's clients are TDS Putin Derangement paedophilies elites ! you dumbass
This is more than film analysis, this is detective Columbo film analysis. Great work. One of my favourite films - retrospectively - it grew on me over the years.
In response to the many people repeating in these comments the internet rumour that whole scenes were cut from the film by the studio after SK died ... I have come across no sources verifying this to be the case, just lots of internet rumours. If anyone knows of a source actually involved in the production in some way (ie. half way reliable) that validates the cut scenes claim, let me know. Otherwise, please don't waste space here with hearsay. Cheers :)
cut or not, there's no way EWS should be considered a complete kubrick picture, it's an unfinished project 101. you of all people should know stanley was notorious for his manic post-production rampages, he was a functional turbo-autist after all.
I put another couple of images on Twitter page TheGeniusRecluse that imply scenes shot but not used. One involving horseriding and another on a rowing boat.
Collative Learning they say the orgy ritual scene was much longer and cut short. anybody working on the film could verify that. it takes hundreds of ppl to make a film and so many ppl have stories who worked on the set.
I read it as, the lady who was placed in the morgue. Typically bodies are kept in cool, cold temperatures to delay decomposition. Another reminder of death, and possibly a threat to Bill that he awaits the same fate if he talks.
in the newspaper article it says "she had many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds" twice. They like to repeat meaningful things twice.
The three doubleprint lines are almost all perfectly aligned going across the article. The first column one is just about a half a line's height different. Also, they spelled the hyphened "because" wrong, coming off that doubled line
Note the final shot of Alan Cumming: As the clerk, he looks relieved, nervous, and swipes the corner of his forehead, as if he's been lying and glad it's over.
When I saw this the first time WAY back when it was released, I actually hated it. Now I love it. Only had to watch it 5 times to understand it. Thanks for helping, Rob!
Eyes Wide Shut. Written off by me when it came out has proven now that this Film, just like all his others, was way ahead of its time. From a sociological perspective.
The streets were sets? Mind blown. What the budget to burn is going on, Kubrick? I always thought it was genuine New York streets dressed to fit the tone of the movie. What a goose.
It is possible to do a real scene on a street in New York and CGI in what you want. Same with the newspaper, it could be blank and later the director can put whatever he wants in later after reflecting creatively.
It was filmed on the streets of Islington London but they were dressed up to look like New York. The jazz club was called Madame jojos which has since shut Down, the somerton mansion exterior was filmed in Suffolk England
@@bernierose719 The EXTERIOR of the Mansion was filmed at a Rothschild house in England, the INTERIOR shots were filmed at a Rothschild residence in Paris, the same building that was used in The 9th Gate....................................
Kubrick had Tom Cruise fly out to England two or three times, just so he could film him walking on a treadmill. Then later on, Kubrick used rear-screen projection to film the street scenes, then tied the two films together..
I'm so glad I came across this video when I was doing research for my Kubrick conspiracy series, the knowledge you have on this topic is unmatched 👏The fact it was the same journalist who wrote the article in the film that reported on Kubrick's death literally blew my mind!
I think it's kinda weird the 3rd paragraph in the death of Kubrick news paper says the studio loved the screening yet there are reports that immediately following the screening studio execs met with Kubrick for almost an hour screaming at him...
I saw this when it was released and without any “deep thinking” about it I just assumed that “Mandy” represented Marilyn Monroe and how she was killed because of her affairs with powerful men. I doubt I need to go into detail of who I’m talking about. Did anyone else get that sense?
What I find most bizarre is the fact that Kubrick died 66 day into 1999 and 666 days before the new millennium in 2001. That is one coincidence I'm having trouble accepting. It's just strange...
Let's just say Kubrick also died at the "Florence Hotel" if you get my drift. I feel like Kubrick was involved with some real crazy stuff in his day and this was the movie to go all out on bc he knew people were after him. Thats why I believe the line about "she had many friends in the fashion and entertainment industry" in the article was written twice bc Kubrick was mirroring that he also was friends with high up people that could get him in trouble and maybe those connections got him killed.
There was a blind about Kubrick on CDAN ............. a part industry insider reveal , part gossip , part fiction blog. It talked about how after his death , a huge stash of "CP" was discovered at his residence. Apparently the biggest law enforcement in that country had ever come across. It's not a credible source ........ on the other hand it predicted many years before the actual news broke , the following cases : Harvey , Jeffrey , Andrew , Singer , (Wexner) , (Geffen) , Combs , NXVM ............. it's really odd. Recommend checking it out.
It is known that the studio and Kubrick had an argument about having 24 minutes cut out from the film, and they did cut them without his consent after he died.So if he was murdered, its definitely because of those 24 minutes, not because of the movie as we see it.
Another eerie thing about this is the scene with Bill and Marion. When she recounts the events leading to her father’s death, Bill says: “Marion, from what you’ve said, I’m sure your father died peacefully. In his sleep.”
Analysis about suggestive pedophilia would be much appreciated - i always felt there was more that was meant to be in the film, considering the costume store owner and his daughter, played by Lee Lee Sobieski (?).
Pedophilia is the main message goal of the film. The two women at the party ask Bill, “do you want to go where the rainbow ends?” The costume store is called “Rainbow Fashions” where we find what goes on under the rainbow where the rainbow ends: the daughter of the costume store is a child being trafficked. At the end of the movie Bill and Alice and daughter are in the toy store and the daughter walks away down the isle and followers two men. These same two men were at Ziegler’s Christmas party in the beginning and they are sitting in front of the staircase. The daughter follows the two men as they go down an isle of stuffed cats, the same stuffed cat that was on the bed of the prostitute that Bill almost had sex with. The daughter follows these two men down the isle and around the corner and disappears from sight. This communicates that the daughter a young child is taken away to the pipeline of grooming and use for the secret societies. I believe that adult woman are portrayed at the ritual in the mansion but that’s because actually using children in those scenes would have been to nuclear and the movie would never he have seen the light of day. So adult women were used. But the message of the movie - that children are whats under the rainbow and where the rainbow ends is still communicated.
@@isaaclosh8082 I don't know if I agree exactly, I think that's part of it but I think it's more about women in general (amongst other things). Take for example Amanda Curran, she was 30 when she od'd. Kubrick could easily have made her 21 or 22 or something. 30 is hardly p3do territory. There's a representation of girl/womanhood at all stages. Helena is the child, the costume shop daughter is the young teen, the models at the party are late teens/early 20s, Amanda Curran and other girls at somerton are late 20s to early 30s, Nicole kidman late 30s, Marion 40s, and Zigglers wife in her 50s (roughly). Domino and her friend fit in there somewhere too.
Well don't forget that 27 minutes of footage was cut from the movie, so even though we saw one of the cult parties and they had just prostitutes with them. There's no doubt that another scene was probably filmed showing that they didn't just use of age women and that younger girls were also being trafficked by them.
Very interesting. Although you didn't mention one very curious detail in the article. There is a huge error on it, last column reads: "She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds [no dot, no unquote mark which is odd, the text continues] "She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds and she believed she'd break through in the end. It was just a matter of time." Even more curious, all paragraphs in this article are written using past tenses, except for this one which uses the present tense ("She has"). OK, I know this is sweet for Illuminati and other conspiracy theories but it is clear that Kubrick as the perfectionist he was, intentionally repeated the sentence "She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds" in a way to stress (speculation here) his own objective to expose them "and she believed she'd break through in the end. It was just a matter of time." The whole movie is about a high class secret society, the title of the movie is "eyes wide shut" (as many here already stressed, as a direct reference to "eyes wide open"). So, what is "wide open" for us all to see? Sexual exploitation and drug traffic running free in the "fashion and entertainment worlds". This is not even polemic nowadays (Weinstein, Les Wexner as the most prominent names). I do think that Kubrick's EWS has many possible interpretations, but this newspaper article linked together with the Larry Celona's real article you analyzed is really creepy. As a end-note, and as some here have mentioned. A real secret society which commits illegal activities does not need to be hidden, they are "open" in the sense they control the industry and therefore they can simply use the whole mystery around their existence to leave some "Easter eggs" for those who are willing to face it. if I was powerful and a part of their group, I would consider all this debate around Illuminati as rather funny. As I would know that simple folks can simply speculate about it and nothing more. At the end you may ask. If they are so powerful, why they bother to kill Kubrick? (again, my speculation) Maybe the EWS story is about Kubrick himself, who joined a society (crossing the rainbow) and then wanted to leave? People say that you can join them only through an invitation from a current member (in the movie represented by the piano player, Nick Nightingale - the bird itself has a strong symbolic meaning, and yes I know he is not a "real" member). So maybe he joined but he was disgusted with what he saw (in the movie symbolized by the father who sells his own daughter, in a clear moral opposition to Kubrick, who had a daughter on both real life and movie) and he decided to expose these sick deeds to the world? (therefore, violating their rules). We'll never know...
ATTENTION PLS: Larry Celona update.... He reported on the death of the late Seymour Hoffman too, and a contributing write.... SIEGLER! "Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose" Hoffman died not too long after playing a role about a Catholic Priest who molested kids. Celona also just wrote like 4 articles in a row about a woman and a few teens "falling to their deaths". All just today and yesterday. The weird just gets weirder. "A 15-year-old aspiring actress fell to her death at a Tribeca house party while trying climb into a locked room to get her cellphone." Again it has a glaring error, "trying climb". Maybe when he makes errors this is an inside cue to other journalists that they are lying. Like in V for Vendetta whenever that reporter would touch her ear or whatever to give a signal. The errors call attention to the lie, just like Siegler calls attention to his lie about Mandy being "fine when she left" when he throws up those Masonic hand signs. A fellow "brother" picks up on these signals and gets the truth while the rest of us masses get the lie. Maybe this 15 year old aspiring actress didn't really fall to her death while "trying climb".
@@betamaxreal I was thinking the same thing. I watched the movie “doubt” living abroad and have owned a business for the past 11 years since I returned. He didn’t die right after
So, apparently Kubrick had all the newspaper articles translated differently in each foreign language the film was released in (a la "all work and no play"). Find out what the various translations include and new clues are sure to be gleaned.
Per IMDB's trivia page: The letters and the newspaper read by Tom Cruise are written in Italian for the Italian version of this movie. Apparently, Stanley Kubrick shot those scenes with papers written in different languages, as he did for The Shining (1980). Also, under alternate versions: In most non-English language versions translated copies of the letter Dr. Harford recieves when returning to the front gate of the house with the "forbidden party" and of the newspaper article about the ex-Miss N.Y., Mandy, were shot and replaced the original English text.
So glad you're back on EYES WIDE SHUT man. Why I'm such a huge fan in the first place. There are a couple of other really interesting vids on the flick. Try checking out the Steganalysis video. Shit's nuts!
Hi, I remember seeing something strange in Eyes Wide Shut whilst I was studying it to write my dissertation 4 years ago. I think you'd also find it intriguing. It occurs in the first scene when Alice & Bill walk down their corridor (past their front door) to say goodbye to Helena. It's during this walk down the corridor, before entering the living room, there's a long slim window beside the front door and for a brief moment you can see a suited man (as if from the party) walking past into another room - which is odd enough, but after watching your spatial awareness in the Shining video their apartment also makes no sense - especially the front door which, from that slim window, looks to lead to another part of their apartment but later we see it leads to the outside hallway. -- I'm pretty sure this is accurate, I'm going from memory! Ah, another thing I remember seeing (although perhaps you flagged this up in your old video?) is in Milichs fancy dress shop - in the red backroom, the dressed up dummies often move between cuts and by the end they are all looking toward Bill/the room with Milich's daughter in - almost like the Twilight Zone. One last thing which might interest you is looking into the types of Venetian masks the guests wear - each mask has its own meanings, history and archetypes associated with it spanning from the traditions of Carnevale - perhaps throws clues to their character/personalities. Hope you have a good explore.
Thanks. I've just checked the HD version. The "window" is a mirror showing the daughter and maid. And we see Nicole's reflection with her black coat on. The mannequins moving positions is a great observation. I'd not picked up on that before so will add to my notes. I've done some bits of research on the types of mask (for a dedicated video on the subject) and certainly several have specific meaning. Cheers.
Yup I noticed the mannequins moving and the masks are 100% relevant. Look at the mask of the guy who comes to take Mandy after she offers herself to redeem Bill. The guy is wearing a plague doctor mask... A plague doctor! The plague is death. A plague doctor taking her away is death taking her away. Kubrick was a genius.
@@corncobjohnsonreal You think Stanley Kubrick just stumbled upon the plague doctor mask on accident or used it because it looked good? If you were sick and had to see a plague doctor it meant death was coming for you and there was almost nothing you could do about it, just like with Mandy sacrificing herself for Bill at the house. Make no mistake, nothing Kubrick ever did was on accident.
Fantastic analysis. I never would have noticed the Vitali reference/ connections. You prove this film's a visual riddle, not just a statement on marriage and sexual fantasy. Those with their "eyes wide open" will enjoy it.
I thought that both night parties attended by Dr. Bill, referenced duality (seen with the checkerboard floor at Ziegler's party). Also, I was a bit intrigued by some of the names. For instance, if you look up the name Victor Ziegler, Victor means conquerer, and Ziegler has its roots in the name, Ziegelbrenner, which interestingly means; brick maker, perhaps referencing Free Masonry? Alice means of German nobility -(Rothschild or Alice Through The Looking Glass/MK-Ultra?), then her husband William, (Prince)? The prostitute was named Domino, which means; "a loose cloak, worn with a mask for the upper part of the face at masquerades." The sex slave Mandy's name means in Urban dictionary; "A shorthand term for Mandrax (pronounced "Mandrakes"), a line of highly addictive British pharmaceutical tablets no longer in legal production," and, a money hungry whore." Interesting that she OD's...Lastly, the name Nick means; the people's victory, in contrast to Ziegler's conquering victor, and Sandor means, defender of man.
Geezus, I googled "Domino meaning historical" and went to images and I got goosebumps from one of the images that popped up. If you recall the 2 creepy masks at the party who looked at Bill from the balcony, it was the man's "domino" that appears in the image search (This is Versailles: The Domino)
Just a thought here: the way my stepdad always lies is he will angrily present one or two "pieces of evidence" (which are usually lies) and then try to end the debate right there before you question it, because "you can't argue with that". Reminds me so much of Zeigler's "door locked from the inside, police are happy, end of story" explanation.
If I were a betting man, I'd say he didn't die, and this a clue to connecting the dots around that. There's a lot of history with fake celebrity deaths and maybe that's what he was hinting to - the paper is both literal and symbolic, in the movie it might be hinting at "don't believe everything you read" in real life - if we follow that same advice - maybe it didn't happen - or again, maybe there's more to the story - it's the best conclusion I can come to.
That's some food for thought right there! Definitely a LOT of faked celebrity deaths. Although the woman from the film really did die and the only lie in the paper was the lack of suspicious circumstances. Much like Kubrick's report. And Epstein I guess. All written by the same person... but Eppy sure isn't dead. Now I'm confused!
I get the feeling that he's talking about Marilyn Monroe's fake suicide. I also think he wanted us to know about other fake celebrity suicides which were basically murders. And the killing of children. I think many are aware that the casting couch doesn't just apply the adults. I now refuse to watch any Hollywood movies. Its a vile industry and I won't support it. I do have all of Kubrick films. Nothing in any of his film is there by accident. Everything was purposely put there. Hi from Scotland 😎✌💕
Don't forget the elements of child trafficking in this movie with the costume shop owners daughter, and that end scene of the film was clearly meant to transition to their daughter being kidnapped.
I have to disagree about them letting her die in the hospital. I think that's more likely than them having her die at the mansion. Most people wouldn't trace her steps and would just hear she did in a hospital and never think about it again. These people work under the power of "eyes wide shut" meaning they do stuff right in the open but in a way that most people would never think twice about. If she'd died at home or especially at the mansion, most people would have an easy enough time making a connection to foul play. But of course not in a hospital, right?
I finally heard a description of what the missing 20 minutes of footage is if anyone's interested. Apparently, the old guy that Nicole Kidman was dancing with convinces her to go with him and she becomes involved in the rituals/parties, was present at the party when Tom Cruise got caught and it turns out that the old guy is the cult leader. The also mentioned that they dubbed in another voice for the cult leader to change his identity in the plot. That's all I heard though. And in the interest of full disclosure, the source was David Wilcox, who makes pretty good money from touring and speaking at "open mind" and UFO conventions so take that for whatever it's worth. Anyone know how to get a hold of any of that footage?
It makes sense cause the original party was probably their way in. Also how that Mask just popped up on the bed was sus. Also her “dream” was crazy too.
First of all that footage is long gone man, it's never been leaked or anything cause it was never posted to anything. Kubrick showed it to executives and they took it for themselves maybe even destroyed it. And on the second hand don't forget all the clues in this movie that are alluding to pedophilia, the costume shop owner who sold his underage daughter to the Japanese guys, and the daughter of the couple being off-screen for over 3 minutes in the end scene clearly was meant to lead into another scene where their daughter is kidnapped by the cult. Kubrick likely was going to hardcore expose the elite pedophile rings and I'd bet that's the main reason so much footage was cut from the movie. Alot of people who won't believe me now are the same people who didn't believe Jeffrey Epstein trafficked children on his island when it was still a conspiracy.
@@geechyguy3441 Hey!... calm down. Peace, brother... I never said it was bullshit I just gave some context so people will, hopefully do their own research or fact checking or whatever. ...to gain greater understanding. I've been diving down the rabbit holes of understanding how the world really works since before the WWW was a thing. Literally since I was a teen-ager. Though I didn't start to gain understanding about how bad the perverted sex blackmail & pedophilia problem was until around 2008. I'm just trying to help humanity survive & progress. BTW, you used the term "conspiracy" wrong, like too many people these days. In proper context, I would say Jeffry Epstein's involvement with child trafficking WAS and likely still IS a conspiracy, though Epstein is no longer part of it. At least, that's what the overwhelming amount of evidence would suggest
Its just weird to add that there were "no suspicious circumstances", that itself makes it a suspicious circumstance. Been recently trying to do research on the footage that was taken out of Eyes Wide Shut. Came across this and happy I did :)
Maybe some connection between the red billiard table and the ritual, lit from above - echo of the mansion ritual. the different colourd masks on the red carpet are like the spheres of the different coloured balls on billiard table. Magic 8 ball Black balled? - masonic selection process Also maybe the model ship in the room is a connection to the navy story Nicole Kidream dreams of?
Interesting observation of a classic movie that I love. Thank you! Kubrick was a genius as far as I'm concerned. Again, thank you. R.I.P. Mr. Kubrick 🙏❤
I knew when I first saw this movie there was something more than just the surface & you said everything I though upon first viewing. But I learn something new every time I watch it. Seen it so many times. One of my favorite Kubrick films for sure.
You need to pay closer attention to the toy store scene and all of the clues in it about what he was really exposing, especially when their daughter walks away from them, following the two men who were sitting in the background at the party, while the stuffed tiger toys are immediately in the foreground, one of which was on the bed in the prostitute scene.
lucky duck 67 Bob Hope is said to have been a "handler" for MKULTRA. A gal, who's name escapes me this moment, wrote a book, claiming to have been an MKULTRA sex slave, she stated that Bob Hope was her "handler".
Very good analysis, you really keep your eyes wide open. The title is very ironical, and remains a sort of an enigma to me, but the key to understanding the movie, is the same as the "password" used by the secret society to enter where the profane are not permitted. The all important password, provided to Bill by the "blind" piano player is Fidelio. Fidelio is the title of the only opera written by Beethoven. His opera is based on the story of the Marquis De Lafayette's imprisonment after his involvement in the defeat of the British in the American Revolutionary War. Fidelio is (was at the time of the movie) the title of the flagship magazine issued by The Schiller Institute. This magazine, more than any other, printed articles exposing the intrigues and motives of not only the British Empire, but of international oligarchy globally and historically. Kubrick's use of an "orgy" is a metaphor for an elite group ie, oligarchy, to get together, in secret, "to F*#K everyone's brains out". The movie went to far when it took the masks off of, not only perpetrators of this Satanic scheme, but of their victims as well. Kubrick's use of the name "Mandy" to represent the victim in the movie was also well thought out, one has to listen carefully to the Berry Manilow song of the same name, and come to your own conclusion.
I don't think Mandy was killed. I left this comment on another video and I thought I'd leave this here too. Considering the ending I think one major thing thats being alluded to in this movie is how there's child grooming/trafficking. Look at the part when Bill enters the party (Pause @1:00). The women, while kneeling in their cloaks, look like kids who then stand (grow) up and disrobe as these beautiful women who then are used at these parties. Its hard to see that they're resembling kids if you've seen the movie already, because you know that they're kneeling, but on first glance you don't know that. Notice the "sacrifice" was the woman (Mandy) who 'redeemed' Bill and Zeigler said that she just got "her brains f'd out" as apart of the 'sacrifice.' That circles back to her being Miss NY who was trying to OD in the beginning of the movie, in order to escape that lifestyle she was trapped in as a young girl. If you look at her carefully in the first OD scene, she's resisting Bill's attempt to bring her back to consciousness, and Bill even alludes to the fact this wasn't the first time (notice Zieglers lack of empathy too). That's all connected through the idea that Bill and Alice's daughter is taken away at the end, and that the daughter of the Costume Store man was being sold to those Japanese men. But again, notice how the 'sacrifice' was Miss New York and how the daughter was being groomed by a man who owned a costume shop. The costume shop was a nod to the fashion industry (Pageantry), and did we not see fashion names come up during the Epstein saga? As a side note, also notice how the owner of that shop and his "daughter" look completely different. She's pale, blonde and blue eyed, while he's dark featured with an accent. EDIT: So on this video there's a further connection @13:25 Ziegler had models at his party. Those were the same models that wanted to take Bill to "where the rainbow ends." Remember the costume shop name and logo? Remember what Bill found when he was taken to the end of the store?
In addition to that, notice the tiger on the bed with the first prostitute that Bill goes into her apartment with (a symbol of sexy kitten programming of some sort) and when their daughter is being led away by the 2 old men at Zeigler's party, she walks through the same tiger teddy bears. Mandy too has ginger hair (like their daughter?). In relation to the models "where the rainbow ends" I do think that those models are essentially the grown-up version of the Rainbow Fashions shop owner's daughter. Too obvious to ignore. It is also probably why there is a lot of repeated lines in the movie as well, including the repeated lines in the news paper articles, and numerous other sentences that were repeated by Bill and others in the movie (possibly to tell us that, what goes on in the movie, also goes on in the real world, or what goes on at the first party, is what goes on at the mansion party?). Interesting stuff anyway.
@@Hunterx777x I didn’t even see the tiger connection. That’s a good one. And yea it’s possible that the models are just symbols for the kids presented in the film. Stanley Kubrick was extremely detailed so it’s no wonder the execs had that fight with him at the premier 2 weeks before his death
I wrote the author of the article, Larry Celona. He still writes for the New York Post. I asked him if he knew about this video and the article it talks about and he sent me a reply. The is a copy and paste of the email Larry Celona of the New York Post sent to me "Yes I know about the article, I talk to Kubrick and I worked with him on the story." Okay let me just say this is a journalist who in the present tense told me 'I talk to Kubrick,' and then in the past tense 'and I worked with him on the story.' You heard it here- Stanley Kubrick is still alive and in communication with Larry Celona!
Hey, I dig your videos. One quick thing that may or may not be of note in the long run: In the old occult books, secret codes were used to pass secret knowledge to others who knew how to see it. One of the most common ways of doing this was utilizing printing errors/misspellings/offset fonts, etc. Long story short: Kubrick was the ultimate perfectionist -- yet that article is rife with mistakes. If you see anything else like that, where it seems like a banal little error, you might want to take a closer look. And I mean to the smallest detail. In this realm, the mistakes seen in that article are akin to shouting it with a bullhorn. Those old groups, and I assume the clandestine world, can get verrrrrry tricky with this. We encrypt everything, but most experts know that quantum computing will break all of this someday. If you really want to communicate secretly these days, you hide something in plain sight and only those with eyes that can see will receive the information. We are talking down to the font size of certain words being an almost imperceptibly different size. So that one would have to look through a lens to tell. Well, if you don't belong to the group that tells you to use a lens, your eyes are wide shut along with the rest of us as to what is being truly communicated. Can you get a 1:1 replica of the news articles? Is that at all possible? Have you noticed any random references to Spain, specifically Barcelona? Also, I should have waited to write this until I watched the whole thing. Nice catch on the printing errors. There is more to this angle... In fact, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there is hidden data in the soundtrack played backwards while listening to Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" during an eclipse. As far as paranoid conspiracy theories go, the Kubrick stuff is right there at the top of the list as far as entertainment value. Keep on truckin.
@10:14 Its actually been mentioned that the clerk was the naked man at the party. So if he was at the party, he would know who Nick was and wouldn't snitch. This also helps explain why/how Ziegler knew that Bill went to the hotel. If you recall Bill getting called to go to the main room he walks through a dance. You see 3 straight couples, 1 couple of two females, 1 couple of two men (one naked who resembles the clerk), and 1 couple with a man and woman with switched outfits.
Evening/ afternoon editions of newspapers are usually printed before 1 pm that day. That means Harford's newspaper was printed before 1 pm. Yet we know Mandy died only at 3:35 pm (from the hotel)
I think Kubrick got some ideas for the Mandy plot thread from Dr. Zhivago. In that movie, Lara, as a younger woman is being 'used' at a party in a very similar way to Mandy in EWS. Lots of parallels there. The main character is a doctor, comes in, and provides the fix to the situation. In each case, the doctor is asked to not mention what happened. In each case, the person that the doctor assisted--the person who threw the party--is a person that represents wealth and influence. Now, that's where the similarity ends because each thread in each movie goes off in dissimilar directions. If you watch Dr. Z, see if you agree.
How can there be nothing suspicious about Kubrick's death when he "died" a few days after the initial uncut version of this movie was shown to test audiences? That in of itself is extremely suspicious.. And take into account that at this screening he was seen fighting with people backstage about something afterwards.. The final version of this movie was not edited by Kubrick and I guarantee you that it would've been completely different if he lived to finish it himself
Speed ball: coke (up) and heroin (down) As above so below The checkered floor on Ziegler's mansion Elite looking graceful in public and acting disgraceful in secret Bill's conscious kindness married to Alice's subconscious cruelty Duality of shadow and light This is an occult work of art itself
I think this creepy parallel is intentional (it was maybe the Kubrick's idea or just the journalist knew what Kubrick's intention was). I think Kubrick's intention was to point out this inter-connectedness of fantasy and reality, but actually with more regards to reality in this movie. He featured real couple of actors (stars), used real stories in a paper and gave those references to Rothschilds' surrealist party from 1972. Maybe to highlight that his films are at the verge of reality; the movie medium actually feeds on reality and influences it at the same time. I think this was to make us reflect that seemingly dream-like entertainment (movie industry) is backed-up by very real and powerful forces/concrete people. Maybe in this movie he used more references to disturbing facts and there were more parallels to reality than he did before. Larry Celona articles are this clear parallel as well, like he is continuing this intention of Kubrick.
@@emilycampbell5798 I know! It's so creepy. Keep looking into Larry Celona. Guess who happens to break the news of several celebrity deaths, Including Jeffrey Epstein?
I've got a theory on Kubrick films inspired by you: In every Kubrick film, the film medium itself is a part of the film. E.g. in 2001 (his only widescreen film), the film is a monolith and we are like the apes and Dave. In ACO, Alex is deconditioned from violence but we are conditioned into violence from the appealing music. How do you think this "film medium as part of the film" idea applies to EWS? Anyway, I'd just like to say I love your work! And more videos on EWS, please! By far the most intriguing film by Kubrick
I have always been bothered by the headline reporting Mandy’s death: “drugs overdose “ is British vernacular; drug overdose is how an American newspaper would report it. This is indisputably an error giving away that the film is made in Britain and not New York, There are other errors in the film. Mandy’s body would be covered in the morgue and not rolled out stark naked as I am sure Ziegler would have covered her with a towel before the doctor’s arrival in the bathroom. The scene in the billiard room meanders and seems lost looking for a way out.
There is such a great demand for the pre-cut version that it would be easy for the rights holder of the film to release a re-release without editing the material for millions will not be thrown away. In addition, one would have to ask the actors and the staff on the set - very strange that they have never said anything.
Very interesting about newspaper articles and its headlines!!! in the original source, Traumnovelle (Dream Story) by Arthur Schnitzler, written in 1926, there is a story about secret society orgies, so, Kubrick definitely hasn't made it up describing some concrete society, but just adapted it to the modern society reality, you are right, it would be difficult to believe that somebody would want to kill him for just cinematization of that story as you can never be sure - was it screening or was it insinuation, why waste energy when it is not clear. What about Mandy's death, if you think of that as a murder, it does lack being convincing, but in the original story, as she stepped forward to offer herself as a replacement, redemption, she was going to sacrifice, to take her own life....herself....society members only asked her '"do you know what you have to do now, what price you are going to pay?" she said yes. And then she added that nobody could save her anymore from that moment. It means society members, when found guilty, had to take their own life, and as it was a kind of sect, victims didn't question that decision, they did it upon their own decision and 2 men were there just to check on her, that she didn't yield to fear and cowardness, but not really to kill her. That's why it is not as efficient as a murder, but at the same time she knew her dose, how big it would have to be not to be saved
I remember that Kubrick has an about 10 minute scene that he was told to cut, and no one knows what was in the scene that people didn't like. I think it was the truths that the ultra rich and powerful don't want known...
EWS to me always seemed like a movie that was mis-edited. First time watching the move I always felt the ending scene was not really the ending, but a scene before the orgy at the mansion.
I only disagree because the ending scene shows Bill and Alice giving their daughter to 3 guys from Ziegler’s party early in the movie. And they wouldn’t have done that before Bill goes to the mansion and gets exposed to this world of elites and sex orgies and pedophilia and murder.
@@arunkeshavadas7171 I agree. Lots of people say they gave their child to two men. Or there child walked of with the two men. But when you watch that scene it's dosnt happen as explicitly as that. She walks away and isn't seen again but it isn't directly obvious they have given there child to a cult as many claim
I agree the ending makes no sense, and after all the symbology around prostitution (the first one Bill goes in to her apartment with) where she is surrounded by a Tiger teddy (hint at sex kitten programming of some sort), the costume store owner's daughter (all of the "where the rainbow ends" talk) and then the final scene of Bill's daughter being taken away by the 2 men who were at Zeigler's party (also note again, she walks through the tiger teddy bears, just like the first prostitute). All of the selling of sex, people, and young girls there are too many patterns to ignore, and nothing is by mistake in a Kubrick movie - and after all of that, to just have it end the way it ends in the final cut makes no sense. Surely the unedited footage would have had something else after that final scene.
The headline "Ex-beauty queen in hotel drugs overdose" never sounded right to me. Pluralizing "drugs" doesn't seem necessary, unless it maybe connects back to the coke AND heroin od earlier...........The first paragraph of the article says "drug" only good video
It's a British-style headline, talking about 'drugs overdose' rather than 'drug overdose'. Kubrick of course was an American but perhaps he'd been living in England so long, the phrasing rubbed off on him.
Chris Wright Also some (or all) of this was shot in England at the famous studio there which Kubrick often used, if memory serves me (and we already know the NY streets were a backlot). So it could be that the crew who produced that final copy was English themselves. The one they used for the original Star Wars trilogy and the Harry Potter series as well, again if memory serves me.
VERY interesting analysis. With some chilling details I missed. Without rehashing previous comments on this controversy. I think you're onto something here. An insider message meant to frighten those involved with the film making. I stumbled across the allegations watching the DVD commentary on Eyes wide shut. It seems that the more people dig? The bigger the smell, and ever more questions unearthed. Strange as it may sound? Be careful!😁
I am wondering about the 28 minutes cut from the film. the plot of the film does not really make sense as it is cut. But if the character of tom cruise thought his wife was fooling around, and he goes on this hunt to find out what is up, only to discover that the Baron she was dancing with took her to one of these parties. To me the wife comes across as a player. What is the deal about the mask on his pillow when he comes home and his wife is asleep?
i had paused and read that newspaper in the ziegler scene many times feeling it has to mean something. i thought he might be trying to reveal a real life murder through clues in the article. this analysis is very interesting and look forward to more.
I always thought the words on the newspaper were meant to reflect his thoughts in that moment. Sort of like a comic reel. Seeing as how he's "Lucky To Be Alive" and he needs to play it "Cool" if he wants to stay that way. Also mirroring his instructions for discretion.
Thinking Kubrick wasn’t Murdered because it was a bad move, especially after all of the strange things surrounding the articles, is one of the dumbest things to believe. If they made the right moves all the time you wouldn’t ever think of or hear of these things, why believe they are gods on earth who can’t mess up when they are committing crimes? Unbelievably stupid.
Something I noticed while watching the film today: along with the echo of the Mexican restaurant, red rose, and pink pussy cat you’ve mentioned previously, as well the the duplicating lines of type in the newspaper story. When Cruise is in the jazz club with the Nightingale character, when he’s on the phone, you hear someone in the crowd clearly say “password” before Nightingale says “I know where that is”, and then writes down the password. Just a small detail that could be part of a pattern. Love your work!
I just watched this movie again, but as Kubrick as the doctor. He's a guy with notoriety, a guy that can usually get what he wants. Everywhere he goes the doctor shows his card and gets what he wants, like a famous movie director. He fancies himself pretty important, and hubristically goes to the party thinking he belongs. But he doesn't. The forces he tangled with are way more powerful than he is and he's made aware of that. He peeked his head through the door and became apart of something far larger. They made it clear to he and his wife that what he had seen, what he had done, would get them all killed if it ever gets out. At the end she says "we're awake now" indicating they have seen through the veil and that they are still alive. If this was the movie that got him killed, maybe all i referenced here was about him faking the moon landing.
I always love how Sydney Pollack delivers his line..."remember, the one with the great t**s". Just think it's funny for some reason. Also, great video Rob! I hope it generates more interest in the film. I wouldn't call it underrated/less spoken about... (but more like) some what under appreciated compared to Kubrick's other movies. In Kubrick years I guess it's still new!
A few years ago I watched a movie with Dustin Hoffman , Anne Heche and Robert Dinero. I can't remember the name but look it up and check it out for yourself. It's similar to EWS. I have seen things in a totally different light since that movie . It'll make you stop and think about a lot of stuff that goes on in this world and it makes a lot of sense.

So naive in truth and reality and yet so brilliant to those who are followers and don’t know better.
Rob, I think I found a cool thing you might be interested in...
When Bill is going to the manor the next day and receives his second warning at the gate, there is a shot of him getting off at specifically at Glen Cove Rd, exit 39H on some highway. I looked it up and Glen Clove is a special little city near Long Island in New York. According to Wikipedia:
"The city was considered part of the early 20th century Gold Coast of the North Shore, as the areas along the waterfront were developed as large country estates by wealthy entrepreneurs and businessmen such as J.P. Morgan, Phipps, Pratt, and Prybil."
I looked up Phipps and Pratt as I already knew about Morgan and they turned out to be the partner of Andrew Carnegie in Carnegie Steel and part of the Rockefeller Trust, respectfully.
This piqued my interest and in the immediate next scene, there is a purposefully clear shot of the sign for interstate 495. I looked _this_ up and it turns out that I495 is actually in Virginia and encircles Washington DC, a totally part of the country over 250 miles away.
Why would Kubrick make that obvious error? My working theory is that the types of people that go to these parties are not only tire upper crust of New York but also the powerful in Washington... Wasn't sure if you had caught this because I haven't seen you mention it (maybe you have) and felt compelled to share! What do you think?
I just saw a photo meme from a newspaper mention the death of Jeffrey Eipstein and the journalist was Larry Celona.
One thing you didn't notice or talk about was the train robbery in "the ninth car" article with a word description of a green jacket with red lining inside the jacket that Tom Cruise's character thumb points to in the left edge of the magazine in reading that article of the full page (not the torn version article). When you flashed back to the first bringing back from overdosing the red haired girl draped in a red blanket under the green door background Tom Cruise character stands in front of. We see Stanley Kubrick again over green tree lights over the angled red pool table where they discuss who died and why. I don't know if it is the overdosed woman stripper being interior jacketed by "green!" We are to study what the colors in the characters and their backgrounds are saying describing the action of the mood in the characters to expect. So the death of a star being "red" under the semi-calm environment "green" sort of character moods study? 🤔
"What kind of charade ends, with someone turning up dead?"
RIP Stanley Kubrick
Bill mixes up the two places the Party and the House in the last scene with Ziegler. "Was she the woman at the party? You called it a charade."
@ArtificialDreams In the last scene with Ziegler the two places established are mentioned by the names the party and the house. Bill asks "Was she the woman at the party?" Victor answers yes. Bill asks "What kind of charade ends with someone turning up dead?" But the party wasn't what Victor called a charade, that was the house.
I worked in Public Relations with a police department in the U.S. for two years and I can tell you reporting "no suspicious circumstances" related to a death is fairly common, it's basically just police-talk for saying, "We don't intend to investigate this further."
Rodrigo Lanas Indeed, but that is exactly the problem-no further investigation.Ziegler and his buddies told them so
Yes it does happen in lots of cases, but it tends to only be when there are actually circumstances where there would otherwise be cause for suspicion. I gave the Michael Jackson reports as a counter example. There's also the likes of David Bowie and Jerry Lewis, no statements of "no suspicion" that I could find regarding their deaths. It's not exactly a smoking gun of course. But the statements that SK was laughing and joking before his death. You got to admit ... that's kind of odd considering the same writer had written similar about Mandy's death in the movie.
Which really means they were taken out and the murderer is "connected"
Collative Learning
Michael Jackson died in the U.S. and U.S. police dealt with that. They may have different procedures or ways of making these kinds of announcements. UK police regularly say "There are no suspicious circumstances" in response to media questions about notable deaths.
But you don't say that for an average heart attack, normal circumstances
Look at it this way; If the missing 24 minutes were perfectly innocent and not a problem for anyone the director's cut would have been long ago released.
I think he was giving hints that folks would have been wise to real fast. For instance, Bob Hope, etc.......
@@madpatriot7464 Bob Hope? What's the Hope connection, if I may trouble you?
I’m willing to bet what was cut involved pedophilia, satanic ritual abuse or both. Kubrick did all but show it actually happening in the movie.
1060michaelg There’s a small scene at the party where a man has a mask that resembles Bob Hope a lot.
Kubrick destroyed all extra film from all of his films. No "Directors Cut" would've ever seen the light of day. Im not saying what we see is his Final Cut but no DC was ever gonna be seen. Chances are he sent the film to be destroyed anyways.
The only reason I FEEL without a shred of proof, that Kubrick might have been killed after EWS simply because of how intelligent he was. He was often the smartest man in the room. He can make a movie and have it approved before the studio even realized what it was really about. You pointed to Deniro and the director of Starship troopers making anti establishment movies and being called fascists. Kubrick as well when he made Dr Strangelove. But Kubrick was a lot smarter and resourceful than those and harder to control. They called him a fascist once already but that didn’t stop his directing career or change his approach to making movies. Even after Kubricks death he’s rarely acknowledged or mentioned by anyone in Hollywood.
More than that he exposed to much there’s almost an hour an hour missing from this moving
As they clearly made anti fascist movies, I'm not sure why they'd be called fascists. Maybe the same way they call musk a genius when he makes horrible business decisions?

That's only one half of the double-meaning. Our eyes are wide shut to their misdeeds as their eyes are wide shut to one another's transgressions. In other words, they keep each others secrets. They have dirt one one another in order to ensure confidentiality.
"Eyes wide shut" is a saying that secret sects have used long before the movie. Like "hidden in plain sight" terms used to imply an inside joke of the elite.
it's like the term hidden in plain sight. so much symbolism is hidden in plain sight in that move
Very first time I saw this movie, some art in the cafe jumped out at me. The first is Ophelia (the suicidal virgin from Hamlet) by JW Waterhouse and the second is the Astarte (eastern goddess of love) by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. They are facing each other across the cafe. Bill sits under the latter.
The painting above Helena bed say S E X!
Excellent - thanks.
Award for the longest comment
Very interesting comment, given that you have Bill sitting under Astarte who is Ishtar, Inanna, Asherah, and I think, can't remember her eg. counterpart.
If there's any credibility to the stories of lovers of the Queen of Heaven, then they are either straight-up sacrificial victims, or castrates.
@@jimmyjames2621they sacrificed children in Babylon on the Asherah pole - in the Bible. That goddess is one they worshipped - God said "come out of her my people." The same thing is supposed to happen in the end times, just on a more massive scale and more hidden - this is it.
My name is Stephen Shellen. I was an actor in Hollywood for 20 years and I did over 30 films. Your theory on Kubrick's death and him not being killed are way off the mark. You must know that scenes were cut from that film AFTER his death.He had full control over that picture as long as he was alive. Also, at least entertain that there were, according to crew members, scenes of child sexual abuse and pedophilia. (S.R.A. perhaps??) I was one of the actors up for Full Metal Jacket(I didn't get the role) but I spoke with one of the cast actors after and you are correct in assuming EVERYTHING in a frame of a Kubrick film is there for a reason. Nothing is left to chance
yes there were scenes cut. 24 minutes give or take, i have since seen them. they are mostly in the orgy scene and cut out for being too explicit. no scenes of child sexual abuse were there

Eyes wide shut was a pretty revealing film for its time but there is so much more information now
What did it reveal?
@@RideAcrossTheRiver It did make people more aware of Elite Types being into weird sex Cults more often than you might expect.
@@Wallyworld30 The film is fiction and based on a 1920s novel. Not sure where you saw 'elites'--I saw anonymous people hidden behind robes and masks. Perhaps the film says more about your imagination and paranoia about some group you assign the status of 'elite'...?
@@Wallyworld30 Also, what weird sex did you see in the film? The weird sex I saw hinted was at the middle-class costumer's.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Didn't the hooker get killed by the head of the Cult? That dude wasn't a middle class he was Elite.
The scene that disturbs me most is the one when they are in the store and the child goes off with the two old mystery men.
Finders
Those men were at the Christmas party Bill.and Alice went to at the start of the movie too
Goes off?? Fukkk off. She is just exploring the shop like before and her parents are talking. How the hell are you saying that the girl went away with those 2 men?? I don't see anything like it. It was just normal. Kid was fooling around the shop.
@@Aman-nk5uq the child was sold for a spot in the club.
One thing I'd like to point out: the scene where Bill is about to be gang-raped but where the woman offers to take his place is likely a reference to the biblical scene where Lot's male guest is nearly gang-raped, but Lot then offers his daughter in the guest's place. In other words, this secret society's decadence is being directly compared to that of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible. I believe she was also murdered after her rape, which would make this scene a foreshadowing of her death. Although in the biblical account, it was Lot who sacrificed his daughter. Here the woman offers herself up. This would then suggest her drug overdose was deliberate but not at the hands of others but herself, ergo, a suicide. But why? Was it a subtle warning to Bill to not get too involved in the secret society? And are the parallels with Kubrick a hint that Kubrick planned and then somehow executed his own death without it being detected? Could Kubrick have been foreshadowing his own suicide?
I figured she saved his life because he saved hers first. Plus if shes caught up in that world and can't escape, she might be welcoming death as a release at that point.
I'm watching this and my first suspicion is that Kubrick planned and "somehow" executed his own death. He is a master of getting audiences to believe. Maybe he's not dead at all. Maybe he's literally "lucky to be alive", because people believe e's dead. He has a reputation for not enjoying the attention his talents draw.
@@happinesstan wtf u talkin about he god kil**d by scientology church and deepstate "saturnalian brotherhood" as we call them, lot of you even did not saw the 8 pointed stars at Ziegler's place being everywhere and representing both fertlity (ishtar symbol) and the worship of chaos and destruction (chaos symbology, 8 pointed stars) which is a sum-up of Saturnalian Brotherhood ideology
Great comment. Did you know Judges 19 is a copy, a doublet, of Genesis 19 (Sodom)?
@@jimmyjames2621 I didn't know that. Interesting.
There's an element perhaps overlooked, broadly, by reviews of EWS. And it regards his exhibited kindness toward people repeatedly...the overdosed lady, the hooker who he pays but doesn't 'do' anything with, the costume shop girl who he defends, the bereaved wife lady who he lets down very gently...over and over the movie is wound through its beginning with him just being genuinely kind to these women, which, for them, might be somewhat exotic, really. Then, when he's discovered at the masked ball as an outsider, and he's going to be stripped if he doesn't do so.....and THAT was a tense damn scene....an unknown woman sacrifices herself for him, ostensibly taking the possible sexual attack intended for him, instead onto herself. And the rest of the movie, when he'd again see a woman, the back of my mind was wondering if each woman was THE lady who saved him. Further, it makes me wonder if every person he's talking with from then on....and even prior to that moment, was part of that ball. That part greatly screwed with my head. (and I don't believe Zeigler about the overdosed girl at his party being the lady who later on got her 'brains fucked out'. I think that was a convenient lie to make things cleaner for Bill, whom he genuinely cares about)
"overlook" hotel :p
Ziegler was telling the truth, and thats established with the fact that she'd OD'd multiple times before. Basically she was tired of this life she was trapped in and wanted to get out. She was revealed to be Miss NY yet Ziegler treated her as "just a hooker." It shows she was apart of something and the only way out was death. Notice she OD'd both times when sex was involved. Notice too, how she was a model, and the two models Bill spoke to at that earlier party, wanted to take him to "where the rainbow ends." Well when Bill was taken to the end of the Rainbow Costume shop (the gateway into this elite party), he saw a young girl and two men in drag, further hinting at the idea of modelling, fashion, pageantry all being connected to the debauchery of the film. remember the names that came up during the Epstein case?
The author of the newspaper article is "Larry Celona", which is also the name of a reporter who covered Kubrick's death. Interesting coincedence

Every minuet detail serves a purpose in Kubrick's work, particularly his later work. I love your videos Rob. The Exorcist analysis is the best ive ever seen.
Which is very reflective of Kubrick's photography background!
The errors/repetition of lines within the “Ex-Beauty” news article inform on foul-play and highlight key suspects in the cover-up:
1. “..was found unconscious in the Florence Hotel by security personnel after her agent asked them to check on her...”
2. “...unclear if there was anyone in the room with her..” - alluding to the Sydney Pollack/OD pattern
3. “She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds.”
Fantastic work per usual, Rob!! 👏
This movie has never been more relevant given the global reach of the Epstein Scandal. However, I disagree with your assessment about the emphasis on sexuality by Kubrick. The movie is about power, not sexuality or a cult of sexuality. The billiards room scene is central to this movie. I wish I could find my review from many years ago. I will watch the movie again soon and maybe find my lost thoughts on Kubrick's genius. It is also quite ironic that Tom Cruise was playing the lead role given his association with the corrupted Church of Scientology.
Your choice of movies to review is absolutely excellent and I look forward to agreeing or disagreeing with you
bigyote Stanley Kubrick one of the movies he supposedly made was the faked moon landing. We did actually land on the moon but there was also a fake movie about it. There's 23 missing parts of eyes wide shut the way the elite kill people is primarily with cyanide it gives an indication of a heart attack. It's easy to deploy you can basically spill a liquid on somebody. Unless the toxicology report is given Within a day or two. Nothing irregular is found. This was the favorite assassination method used by the CIA and a particular Hitman for the mob who outline how he killed people in a video on TH-cam no less. There are a lot of behind the scenes individuals who have an incredible power base that allows them to do many Insidious things. The fact that many people do not do evil things does not negate the fact that some people do evil things. And when you have an elite group of people who decide who will live and who will die and who will prosper and who will not. Can you not be surprised not just by conspiracy theories but by conspiracy facts. Especially with the whole pizzagate thing and Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. There is all sorts of misconduct that is actually going on. And let's just say that you're a billionaire likes say Bill Gates. To have someone often the criminal organization the going prices around 10 grand. What if you put a million-dollar contract on somebody's life or a hundred thousand? These ultra-wealthy have the ability to do that. And even if you can just find one with the mindset for corruption. Then that tells you right there that this happens.
@Dante Miles they all had to sign non-disclosure agreements...
You bring up Tom Cruise’s personal history but look up Kidman’s father’s history and it would freak you out ten times more. Even her last name “Kid Man”, eerily fitting and creepy.

In response to the many people repeating in these comments the internet rumour that whole scenes were cut from the film by the studio after SK died ...

Otherwise, please don't waste space here with hearsay. Cheers :)
cut or not, there's no way EWS should be considered a complete kubrick picture, it's an unfinished project 101. you of all people should know stanley was notorious for his manic post-production rampages, he was a functional turbo-autist after all.
M Sund was gonna say that
whole scenes were cut from the film by the studio ;)
I put another couple of images on Twitter page TheGeniusRecluse that imply scenes shot but not used. One involving horseriding and another on a rowing boat.
Collative Learning they say the orgy ritual scene was much longer and cut short. anybody working on the film could verify that. it takes hundreds of ppl to make a film and so many ppl have stories who worked on the set.
Probably reading too much into this but "Cool as ice" could also mean death, the human body goes cold when you die.
Possibly, yes.
The American idiom-phrase would be 'cold as ice'. Kubrick is likely signifying "Cool As Hell".
I read it as, the lady who was placed in the morgue. Typically bodies are kept in cool, cold temperatures to delay decomposition. Another reminder of death, and possibly a threat to Bill that he awaits the same fate if he talks.
cool spelled backwards says look, prompting us to take more notice of the paper
It means “Iceman” it’s a top gun reference
Thanks for the analysis! Eyes Wide Shut is one of my favorite alternative Christmas movies.
stevebob240 😀
It really is!! Always thought that
Good call! Life of Brian is my alt-Christmas movie.
in the newspaper article it says "she had many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds" twice. They like to repeat meaningful things twice.
I noticed the full repeat too . Must ne important
ginger nichols Whitney Houston?
Thanks for catching that. I'm surprised Kubrick being so detailed-oriented would let that one slip by. Or did he?
"Accompanied by two men" is also Kubrik's symbolic attention to the details
The three doubleprint lines are almost all perfectly aligned going across the article. The first column one is just about a half a line's height different. Also, they spelled the hyphened "because" wrong, coming off that doubled line
Note the final shot of Alan Cumming: As the clerk, he looks relieved, nervous, and swipes the corner of his forehead, as if he's been lying and glad it's over.
I interpret it as him being forced to face the fact that he witnessed a man being strong-armed into a car and probably taken to his death
Yup, his eyes "wide shut" (willfully ignorant)

Wow
I think he was melting in the presence of Tom Cruise as I would had, grr
When I saw this the first time WAY back when it was released, I actually hated it. Now I love it.
Only had to watch it 5 times to understand it. Thanks for helping, Rob!
Eyes Wide Shut. Written off by me when it came out has proven now that this Film, just like all his others, was way ahead of its time. From a sociological perspective.
pahesha sadesha ahead of its time how?
Filming In Portland I think Kubrick was able to forecast the appetite for conspiracy theory that has become prominent post millennium post 911.
The streets were sets? Mind blown. What the budget to burn is going on, Kubrick? I always thought it was genuine New York streets dressed to fit the tone of the movie. What a goose.
It is possible to do a real scene on a street in New York and CGI in what you want. Same with the newspaper, it could be blank and later the director can put whatever he wants in later after reflecting creatively.
It was filmed on the streets of Islington London but they were dressed up to look like New York. The jazz club was called Madame jojos which has since shut Down, the somerton mansion exterior was filmed in Suffolk England
Kubrick didn’t liked to be far from home 🏡
@@bernierose719 The EXTERIOR of the Mansion was filmed at a Rothschild house in England, the INTERIOR shots were filmed at a Rothschild residence in Paris, the same building that was used in The 9th Gate....................................
Kubrick had Tom Cruise fly out to England two or three times, just so he could film him walking on a treadmill. Then later on, Kubrick used rear-screen projection to film the street scenes, then tied the two films together..
I'm so glad I came across this video when I was doing research for my Kubrick conspiracy series, the knowledge you have on this topic is unmatched 👏The fact it was the same journalist who wrote the article in the film that reported on Kubrick's death literally blew my mind!
I think it's kinda weird the 3rd paragraph in the death of Kubrick news paper says the studio loved the screening yet there are reports that immediately following the screening studio execs met with Kubrick for almost an hour screaming at him...
I saw this when it was released and without any “deep thinking” about it I just assumed that “Mandy” represented Marilyn Monroe and how she was killed because of her affairs with powerful men. I doubt I need to go into detail of who I’m talking about. Did anyone else get that sense?
@dirtyvarmint That's good stuff. I'm picturing the scene when he starts crying on the bed telling Kidman, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
@dirtyvarmint interesting....
Never thought of it like that, but i agree, it makes perfect sense. really interesting
Mandy from the movie and Marilyn Monroe in real life both died with the door knob locked from the inside. Ziegler even mentions it, makes you think.
What I find most bizarre is the fact that Kubrick died 66 day into 1999 and 666 days before the new millennium in 2001. That is one coincidence I'm having trouble accepting. It's just strange...
also on the 7th of the 3rd month. Two sacred numbers as well lol
You should go take a nap, and stop worrying...
Unfortunately for all of us, your math stinks.
You are far better off learning to do something useful with your time. PLEASE stop wasting ours. Peace.
It's strange to me as well. That little detail seems to fly over the head of the sheeple
we are in a matrix. Jesus is the way out. Open your third eye. click my name to watch Keys to the Kingdom
Let's just say Kubrick also died at the "Florence Hotel" if you get my drift. I feel like Kubrick was involved with some real crazy stuff in his day and this was the movie to go all out on bc he knew people were after him. Thats why I believe the line about "she had many friends in the fashion and entertainment industry" in the article was written twice bc Kubrick was mirroring that he also was friends with high up people that could get him in trouble and maybe those connections got him killed.
It could also explain why Kubrick, or the look-alike of him, in the Jazz bar scene looks at Bill twice, just before he sits down.
@@hunterjg777 lol, Yep that was Kubrick alright.
There was a blind about Kubrick on CDAN ............. a part industry insider reveal , part gossip , part fiction blog.
It talked about how after his death , a huge stash of "CP" was discovered at his residence.
Apparently the biggest law enforcement in that country had ever come across.
It's not a credible source ........ on the other hand it predicted many years before the actual news broke , the following cases : Harvey , Jeffrey , Andrew , Singer , (Wexner) , (Geffen) , Combs , NXVM ............. it's really odd.
Recommend checking it out.
It is known that the studio and Kubrick had an argument about having 24 minutes cut out from the film, and they did cut them without his consent after he died.So if he was murdered, its definitely because of those 24 minutes, not because of the movie as we see it.
Another eerie thing about this is the scene with Bill and Marion. When she recounts the events leading to her father’s death, Bill says:
“Marion, from what you’ve said, I’m sure your father died peacefully. In his sleep.”
Nice catch
Why do you find that eerie?
@@Jekyll_Island_Creatures kubrick died in his sleep
It's seems like she wanted her father gone due to the wealth 🙆
Analysis about suggestive pedophilia would be much appreciated - i always felt there was more that was meant to be in the film, considering the costume store owner and his daughter, played by Lee Lee Sobieski (?).
Pedophilia is the main message goal of the film.
The two women at the party ask Bill, “do you want to go where the rainbow ends?”
The costume store is called “Rainbow Fashions” where we find what goes on under the rainbow where the rainbow ends: the daughter of the costume store is a child being trafficked.
At the end of the movie Bill and Alice and daughter are in the toy store and the daughter walks away down the isle and followers two men. These same two men were at Ziegler’s Christmas party in the beginning and they are sitting in front of the staircase. The daughter follows the two men as they go down an isle of stuffed cats, the same stuffed cat that was on the bed of the prostitute that Bill almost had sex with. The daughter follows these two men down the isle and around the corner and disappears from sight. This communicates that the daughter a young child is taken away to the pipeline of grooming and use for the secret societies.
I believe that adult woman are portrayed at the ritual in the mansion but that’s because actually using children in those scenes would have been to nuclear and the movie would never he have seen the light of day. So adult women were used. But the message of the movie - that children are whats under the rainbow and where the rainbow ends is still communicated.
@@isaaclosh8082 I don't know if I agree exactly, I think that's part of it but I think it's more about women in general (amongst other things). Take for example Amanda Curran, she was 30 when she od'd. Kubrick could easily have made her 21 or 22 or something. 30 is hardly p3do territory.
There's a representation of girl/womanhood at all stages. Helena is the child, the costume shop daughter is the young teen, the models at the party are late teens/early 20s, Amanda Curran and other girls at somerton are late 20s to early 30s, Nicole kidman late 30s, Marion 40s, and Zigglers wife in her 50s (roughly). Domino and her friend fit in there somewhere too.
@@anima6035 The term Paedophilia only refers to minors. Sexual predation on teens is called Ephebophilia.
The teddy bears in the store in the final scene are much more obvious symbolism than the cats.
Well don't forget that 27 minutes of footage was cut from the movie, so even though we saw one of the cult parties and they had just prostitutes with them. There's no doubt that another scene was probably filmed showing that they didn't just use of age women and that younger girls were also being trafficked by them.
Very interesting. Although you didn't mention one very curious detail in the article. There is a huge error on it, last column reads:
"She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds [no dot, no unquote mark which is odd, the text continues] "She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds and she believed she'd break through in the end. It was just a matter of time."
Even more curious, all paragraphs in this article are written using past tenses, except for this one which uses the present tense ("She has").
OK, I know this is sweet for Illuminati and other conspiracy theories but it is clear that Kubrick as the perfectionist he was, intentionally repeated the sentence "She has many important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds" in a way to stress (speculation here) his own objective to expose them "and she believed she'd break through in the end. It was just a matter of time."
The whole movie is about a high class secret society, the title of the movie is "eyes wide shut" (as many here already stressed, as a direct reference to "eyes wide open"). So, what is "wide open" for us all to see? Sexual exploitation and drug traffic running free in the "fashion and entertainment worlds". This is not even polemic nowadays (Weinstein, Les Wexner as the most prominent names).
I do think that Kubrick's EWS has many possible interpretations, but this newspaper article linked together with the Larry Celona's real article you analyzed is really creepy.
As a end-note, and as some here have mentioned. A real secret society which commits illegal activities does not need to be hidden, they are "open" in the sense they control the industry and therefore they can simply use the whole mystery around their existence to leave some "Easter eggs" for those who are willing to face it. if I was powerful and a part of their group, I would consider all this debate around Illuminati as rather funny. As I would know that simple folks can simply speculate about it and nothing more.
At the end you may ask. If they are so powerful, why they bother to kill Kubrick? (again, my speculation) Maybe the EWS story is about Kubrick himself, who joined a society (crossing the rainbow) and then wanted to leave? People say that you can join them only through an invitation from a current member (in the movie represented by the piano player, Nick Nightingale - the bird itself has a strong symbolic meaning, and yes I know he is not a "real" member). So maybe he joined but he was disgusted with what he saw (in the movie symbolized by the father who sells his own daughter, in a clear moral opposition to Kubrick, who had a daughter on both real life and movie) and he decided to expose these sick deeds to the world? (therefore, violating their rules). We'll never know...
I'd been Thinkin that the 'Mandy' storyline was Real.
I'm a New Yorker and these types of ' Headlines' are actually quite common
ATTENTION PLS: Larry Celona update....
He reported on the death of the late Seymour Hoffman too, and a contributing write.... SIEGLER!
"Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose"
Hoffman died not too long after playing a role about a Catholic Priest who molested kids.
Celona also just wrote like 4 articles in a row about a woman and a few teens "falling to their deaths".
All just today and yesterday. The weird just gets weirder.
"A 15-year-old aspiring actress fell to her death at a Tribeca house party while trying climb into a locked room to get her cellphone."
Again it has a glaring error, "trying climb".
Maybe when he makes errors this is an inside cue to other journalists that they are lying.
Like in V for Vendetta whenever that reporter would touch her ear or whatever to give a signal.
The errors call attention to the lie, just like Siegler calls attention to his lie about Mandy being "fine when she left" when he throws up those Masonic hand signs. A fellow "brother" picks up on these signals and gets the truth while the rest of us masses get the lie.
Maybe this 15 year old aspiring actress didn't really fall to her death while "trying climb".
Reading the story it doesn't sound sinister, but it's still weird.
I just watched a vid on this "Larry Celona" from a truther channel,very mysterious person i must say.

So, apparently Kubrick had all the newspaper articles translated differently in each foreign language the film was released in (a la "all work and no play"). Find out what the various translations include and new clues are sure to be gleaned.
Wow, where did you find out about this? Can you show me some place to look please?
Per IMDB's trivia page: The letters and the newspaper read by Tom Cruise are written in Italian for the Italian version of this movie. Apparently, Stanley Kubrick shot those scenes with papers written in different languages, as he did for The Shining (1980). Also, under alternate versions: In most non-English language versions translated copies of the letter Dr. Harford recieves when returning to the front gate of the house with the "forbidden party" and of the newspaper article about the ex-Miss N.Y., Mandy, were shot and replaced the original English text.
Thanks! So did he shoot the scenes again with Tom Cruise holding different translations? either way, quite a lot of work just for that ha
btw read about the first Miss N.Y., quite interesting
Couldn't say for certain, but it's likely he just swapped out the text digitally in post.
So glad you're back on EYES WIDE SHUT man. Why I'm such a huge fan in the first place. There are a couple of other really interesting vids on the flick. Try checking out the Steganalysis video. Shit's nuts!
Hi, I remember seeing something strange in Eyes Wide Shut whilst I was studying it to write my dissertation 4 years ago. I think you'd also find it intriguing. It occurs in the first scene when Alice & Bill walk down their corridor (past their front door) to say goodbye to Helena. It's during this walk down the corridor, before entering the living room, there's a long slim window beside the front door and for a brief moment you can see a suited man (as if from the party) walking past into another room - which is odd enough, but after watching your spatial awareness in the Shining video their apartment also makes no sense - especially the front door which, from that slim window, looks to lead to another part of their apartment but later we see it leads to the outside hallway. -- I'm pretty sure this is accurate, I'm going from memory!
Ah, another thing I remember seeing (although perhaps you flagged this up in your old video?) is in Milichs fancy dress shop - in the red backroom, the dressed up dummies often move between cuts and by the end they are all looking toward Bill/the room with Milich's daughter in - almost like the Twilight Zone.
One last thing which might interest you is looking into the types of Venetian masks the guests wear - each mask has its own meanings, history and archetypes associated with it spanning from the traditions of Carnevale - perhaps throws clues to their character/personalities.
Hope you have a good explore.
Thanks. I've just checked the HD version. The "window" is a mirror showing the daughter and maid. And we see Nicole's reflection with her black coat on.
The mannequins moving positions is a great observation. I'd not picked up on that before so will add to my notes.
I've done some bits of research on the types of mask (for a dedicated video on the subject) and certainly several have specific meaning.
Cheers.
so why is there a mask when tom cruise wakes up at the end of the movie?
Yup I noticed the mannequins moving and the masks are 100% relevant. Look at the mask of the guy who comes to take Mandy after she offers herself to redeem Bill. The guy is wearing a plague doctor mask... A plague doctor! The plague is death. A plague doctor taking her away is death taking her away. Kubrick was a genius.
@@corncobjohnsonreal You think Stanley Kubrick just stumbled upon the plague doctor mask on accident or used it because it looked good? If you were sick and had to see a plague doctor it meant death was coming for you and there was almost nothing you could do about it, just like with Mandy sacrificing herself for Bill at the house. Make no mistake, nothing Kubrick ever did was on accident.
@@corncobjohnsonreal Bill's a plague and she's infected.
Fantastic analysis. I never would have noticed the Vitali reference/ connections.
You prove this film's a visual riddle, not just a statement on marriage and sexual fantasy. Those with their "eyes wide open" will enjoy it.
I thought that both night parties attended by Dr. Bill, referenced duality (seen with the checkerboard floor at Ziegler's party). Also, I was a bit intrigued by some of the names. For instance, if you look up the name Victor Ziegler, Victor means conquerer, and Ziegler has its roots in the name, Ziegelbrenner, which interestingly means; brick maker, perhaps referencing Free Masonry? Alice means of German nobility -(Rothschild or Alice Through The Looking Glass/MK-Ultra?), then her husband William, (Prince)? The prostitute was named Domino, which means;
"a loose cloak, worn with a mask for the upper part of the face at masquerades." The sex slave Mandy's name means in Urban dictionary; "A shorthand term for Mandrax (pronounced "Mandrakes"), a line of highly addictive British pharmaceutical tablets no longer in legal production," and, a money hungry whore." Interesting that she OD's...Lastly, the name Nick means; the people's victory, in contrast to Ziegler's conquering victor, and Sandor means, defender of man.
Brilliant and I agree. The checkerboard floor is also a Masonic symbol.
Geezus, I googled "Domino meaning historical" and went to images and I got goosebumps from one of the images that popped up. If you recall the 2 creepy masks at the party who looked at Bill from the balcony, it was the man's "domino" that appears in the image search (This is Versailles: The Domino)
Just a thought here: the way my stepdad always lies is he will angrily present one or two "pieces of evidence" (which are usually lies) and then try to end the debate right there before you question it, because "you can't argue with that". Reminds me so much of Zeigler's "door locked from the inside, police are happy, end of story" explanation.
How's this for a thickened plot. The steadicam operator on EWS was named Elizabeth Ziegler. Her final film? Hollywood Homicide (2003).
RHAPSO DEE how did she die?
Never said she died. Just said her last movie was Hollywood Homicide.
A female steadi cam op? Those things are heavy! Cudo's to her.
Stanley Kubrick. Starwhackers. 181D...
If I were a betting man, I'd say he didn't die, and this a clue to connecting the dots around that. There's a lot of history with fake celebrity deaths and maybe that's what he was hinting to - the paper is both literal and symbolic, in the movie it might be hinting at "don't believe everything you read" in real life - if we follow that same advice - maybe it didn't happen - or again, maybe there's more to the story - it's the best conclusion I can come to.
That's some food for thought right there! Definitely a LOT of faked celebrity deaths. Although the woman from the film really did die and the only lie in the paper was the lack of suspicious circumstances. Much like Kubrick's report. And Epstein I guess. All written by the same person... but Eppy sure isn't dead. Now I'm confused!
"they" killed him.....
I get the feeling that he's talking about Marilyn Monroe's fake suicide. I also think he wanted us to know about other fake celebrity suicides which were basically murders. And the killing of children. I think many are aware that the casting couch doesn't just apply the adults. I now refuse to watch any Hollywood movies. Its a vile industry and I won't support it. I do have all of Kubrick films. Nothing in any of his film is there by accident. Everything was purposely put there. Hi from Scotland 😎✌💕
Don't forget the elements of child trafficking in this movie with the costume shop owners daughter, and that end scene of the film was clearly meant to transition to their daughter being kidnapped.
I have to disagree about them letting her die in the hospital. I think that's more likely than them having her die at the mansion. Most people wouldn't trace her steps and would just hear she did in a hospital and never think about it again. These people work under the power of "eyes wide shut" meaning they do stuff right in the open but in a way that most people would never think twice about. If she'd died at home or especially at the mansion, most people would have an easy enough time making a connection to foul play. But of course not in a hospital, right?
excited for your coverage of Eyes Wide Shut!
This is one of the BEST movies of all-time and this video is AMAZING! Thanks so much for uploading this video!
I finally heard a description of what the missing 20 minutes of footage is if anyone's interested.
Apparently, the old guy that Nicole Kidman was dancing with convinces her to go with him and she becomes involved in the rituals/parties, was present at the party when Tom Cruise got caught and it turns out that the old guy is the cult leader. The also mentioned that they dubbed in another voice for the cult leader to change his identity in the plot.
That's all I heard though. And in the interest of full disclosure, the source was David Wilcox, who makes pretty good money from touring and speaking at "open mind" and UFO conventions so take that for whatever it's worth.
Anyone know how to get a hold of any of that footage?
Tha k you, I knew I'd heard that somewhere too, during a podcast I believe with Dave Wilcox!
@@sarahoshea9603 What podcast?
It makes sense cause the original party was probably their way in. Also how that Mask just popped up on the bed was sus. Also her “dream” was crazy too.
First of all that footage is long gone man, it's never been leaked or anything cause it was never posted to anything. Kubrick showed it to executives and they took it for themselves maybe even destroyed it. And on the second hand don't forget all the clues in this movie that are alluding to pedophilia, the costume shop owner who sold his underage daughter to the Japanese guys, and the daughter of the couple being off-screen for over 3 minutes in the end scene clearly was meant to lead into another scene where their daughter is kidnapped by the cult. Kubrick likely was going to hardcore expose the elite pedophile rings and I'd bet that's the main reason so much footage was cut from the movie.
Alot of people who won't believe me now are the same people who didn't believe Jeffrey Epstein trafficked children on his island when it was still a conspiracy.
@@geechyguy3441
Hey!... calm down.
Peace, brother...
I never said it was bullshit I just gave some context so people will, hopefully do their own research or fact checking or whatever. ...to gain greater understanding.
I've been diving down the rabbit holes of understanding how the world really works since before the WWW was a thing. Literally since I was a teen-ager. Though I didn't start to gain understanding about how bad the perverted sex blackmail & pedophilia problem was until around 2008.
I'm just trying to help humanity survive & progress.
BTW, you used the term "conspiracy" wrong, like too many people these days.
In proper context, I would say Jeffry Epstein's involvement with child trafficking WAS and likely still IS a conspiracy, though Epstein is no longer part of it. At least, that's what the overwhelming amount of evidence would suggest
Its just weird to add that there were "no suspicious circumstances", that itself makes it a suspicious circumstance. Been recently trying to do research on the footage that was taken out of Eyes Wide Shut. Came across this and happy I did :)
This isn’t the missing footage tho
Harvey Keitel had the part played by Sidney Pollack but quit the film after Kubrick had him go thru a doorway over and over and over again.
Maybe some connection between the red billiard table and the ritual, lit from above - echo of the mansion ritual. the different colourd masks on the red carpet are like the spheres of the different coloured balls on billiard table.
Magic 8 ball
Black balled? - masonic selection process
Also maybe the model ship in the room is a connection to the navy story Nicole Kidream dreams of?
Definitely. It's there to clue you in that Ziegler and Red Cloak are the same guy.
Also the way he taps the ball and the chalk twice just like the staff in the party
@@phillyb8347 Good one!
Interesting observation of a classic movie that I love. Thank you! Kubrick was a genius as far as I'm concerned. Again, thank you.
R.I.P. Mr. Kubrick 🙏❤
I knew when I first saw this movie there was something more than just the surface & you said everything I though upon first viewing. But I learn something new every time I watch it. Seen it so many times. One of my favorite Kubrick films for sure.
I am a huge fan of your film analysis. Like always...brilliant. Thanks for uploading,Rob.
10:27 the passing of a hand over the forehead and covering of the ear is symbolism. Perhaps the hotel employee is one of the masked men.
Good catch
You need to pay closer attention to the toy store scene and all of the clues in it about what he was really exposing, especially when their daughter walks away from them, following the two men who were sitting in the background at the party, while the stuffed tiger toys are immediately in the foreground, one of which was on the bed in the prostitute scene.
There are so many tigers in this film I was wondering if anyone has discussed it.

17:59 It's widely known there is 20 minutes missing from the film. Kubrick's version has never been seen.
I want to watch it. He may have died for whatever was shown.
Very good analysis, you really keep your eyes wide open. The title is very ironical, and remains a sort of an enigma to me, but the key to understanding the movie, is the same as the "password" used by the secret society to enter where the profane are not permitted. The all important password, provided to Bill by the "blind" piano player is Fidelio. Fidelio is the title of the only opera written by Beethoven. His opera is based on the story of the Marquis De Lafayette's imprisonment after his involvement in the defeat of the British in the American Revolutionary War. Fidelio is (was at the time of the movie) the title of the flagship magazine issued by The Schiller Institute. This magazine, more than any other, printed articles exposing the intrigues and motives of not only the British Empire, but of international oligarchy globally and historically.
Kubrick's use of an "orgy" is a metaphor for an elite group ie, oligarchy, to get together, in secret, "to F*#K everyone's brains out". The movie went to far when it took the masks off of, not only perpetrators of this Satanic scheme, but of their victims as well. Kubrick's use of the name "Mandy" to represent the victim in the movie was also well thought out, one has to listen carefully to the Berry Manilow song of the same name, and come to your own conclusion.
What conclusion do you come to from Manilow's Mandy song?
I've always loved Eyes Wide Shut and thought it was a very underrated film. Thanks for doing these videos!
I don't think Mandy was killed. I left this comment on another video and I thought I'd leave this here too.
Considering the ending I think one major thing thats being alluded to in this movie is how there's child grooming/trafficking. Look at the part when Bill enters the party (Pause @1:00). The women, while kneeling in their cloaks, look like kids who then stand (grow) up and disrobe as these beautiful women who then are used at these parties. Its hard to see that they're resembling kids if you've seen the movie already, because you know that they're kneeling, but on first glance you don't know that. Notice the "sacrifice" was the woman (Mandy) who 'redeemed' Bill and Zeigler said that she just got "her brains f'd out" as apart of the 'sacrifice.' That circles back to her being Miss NY who was trying to OD in the beginning of the movie, in order to escape that lifestyle she was trapped in as a young girl. If you look at her carefully in the first OD scene, she's resisting Bill's attempt to bring her back to consciousness, and Bill even alludes to the fact this wasn't the first time (notice Zieglers lack of empathy too).
That's all connected through the idea that Bill and Alice's daughter is taken away at the end, and that the daughter of the Costume Store man was being sold to those Japanese men. But again, notice how the 'sacrifice' was Miss New York and how the daughter was being groomed by a man who owned a costume shop. The costume shop was a nod to the fashion industry (Pageantry), and did we not see fashion names come up during the Epstein saga? As a side note, also notice how the owner of that shop and his "daughter" look completely different. She's pale, blonde and blue eyed, while he's dark featured with an accent.
EDIT: So on this video there's a further connection @13:25 Ziegler had models at his party. Those were the same models that wanted to take Bill to "where the rainbow ends." Remember the costume shop name and logo? Remember what Bill found when he was taken to the end of the store?
In addition to that, notice the tiger on the bed with the first prostitute that Bill goes into her apartment with (a symbol of sexy kitten programming of some sort) and when their daughter is being led away by the 2 old men at Zeigler's party, she walks through the same tiger teddy bears. Mandy too has ginger hair (like their daughter?).
In relation to the models "where the rainbow ends" I do think that those models are essentially the grown-up version of the Rainbow Fashions shop owner's daughter. Too obvious to ignore. It is also probably why there is a lot of repeated lines in the movie as well, including the repeated lines in the news paper articles, and numerous other sentences that were repeated by Bill and others in the movie (possibly to tell us that, what goes on in the movie, also goes on in the real world, or what goes on at the first party, is what goes on at the mansion party?). Interesting stuff anyway.
@@Hunterx777x I didn’t even see the tiger connection. That’s a good one. And yea it’s possible that the models are just symbols for the kids presented in the film. Stanley Kubrick was extremely detailed so it’s no wonder the execs had that fight with him at the premier 2 weeks before his death
It's pretty obvious that Stanley faked his own death and went to live on the Moon.
And now onto the next question ... whose body did he leave behind !!!

I wrote the author of the article, Larry Celona. He still writes for the New York Post. I asked him if he knew about this video and the article it talks about and he sent me a reply. The is a copy and paste of the email Larry Celona of the New York Post sent to me "Yes I know about the article, I talk to Kubrick and I worked with him on the story." Okay let me just say this is a journalist who in the present tense told me 'I talk to Kubrick,' and then in the past tense 'and I worked with him on the story.' You heard it here- Stanley Kubrick is still alive and in communication with Larry Celona!
SK was revealing way too much from this movie, that's why he got killed.
He got killed bc Lucifer turns on all his worshippers
Hey, I dig your videos. One quick thing that may or may not be of note in the long run: In the old occult books, secret codes were used to pass secret knowledge to others who knew how to see it. One of the most common ways of doing this was utilizing printing errors/misspellings/offset fonts, etc. Long story short: Kubrick was the ultimate perfectionist -- yet that article is rife with mistakes. If you see anything else like that, where it seems like a banal little error, you might want to take a closer look. And I mean to the smallest detail. In this realm, the mistakes seen in that article are akin to shouting it with a bullhorn. Those old groups, and I assume the clandestine world, can get verrrrrry tricky with this. We encrypt everything, but most experts know that quantum computing will break all of this someday. If you really want to communicate secretly these days, you hide something in plain sight and only those with eyes that can see will receive the information. We are talking down to the font size of certain words being an almost imperceptibly different size. So that one would have to look through a lens to tell. Well, if you don't belong to the group that tells you to use a lens, your eyes are wide shut along with the rest of us as to what is being truly communicated. Can you get a 1:1 replica of the news articles? Is that at all possible?
Have you noticed any random references to Spain, specifically Barcelona? Also, I should have waited to write this until I watched the whole thing. Nice catch on the printing errors. There is more to this angle... In fact, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there is hidden data in the soundtrack played backwards while listening to Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" during an eclipse. As far as paranoid conspiracy theories go, the Kubrick stuff is right there at the top of the list as far as entertainment value. Keep on truckin.
What the hell does Spain have anything to do with EWS?
@@jakedee507 The Terrorists Bombings Of The Trains.God Bless All WWG1WGA 👼 👼
@10:14 Its actually been mentioned that the clerk was the naked man at the party. So if he was at the party, he would know who Nick was and wouldn't snitch. This also helps explain why/how Ziegler knew that Bill went to the hotel.
If you recall Bill getting called to go to the main room he walks through a dance. You see 3 straight couples, 1 couple of two females, 1 couple of two men (one naked who resembles the clerk), and 1 couple with a man and woman with switched outfits.
Evening/ afternoon editions of newspapers are usually printed before 1 pm that day. That means Harford's newspaper was printed before 1 pm. Yet we know Mandy died only at 3:35 pm (from the hotel)
I think Kubrick got some ideas for the Mandy plot thread from Dr. Zhivago. In that movie, Lara, as a younger woman is being 'used' at a party in a very similar way to Mandy in EWS. Lots of parallels there. The main character is a doctor, comes in, and provides the fix to the situation. In each case, the doctor is asked to not mention what happened. In each case, the person that the doctor assisted--the person who threw the party--is a person that represents wealth and influence. Now, that's where the similarity ends because each thread in each movie goes off in dissimilar directions. If you watch Dr. Z, see if you agree.
How can there be nothing suspicious about Kubrick's death when he "died" a few days after the initial uncut version of this movie was shown to test audiences? That in of itself is extremely suspicious.. And take into account that at this screening he was seen fighting with people backstage about something afterwards.. The final version of this movie was not edited by Kubrick and I guarantee you that it would've been completely different if he lived to finish it himself
Speed ball: coke (up) and heroin (down)
As above so below
The checkered floor on Ziegler's mansion
Elite looking graceful in public and acting disgraceful in secret
Bill's conscious kindness married to Alice's subconscious cruelty
Duality of shadow and light
This is an occult work of art itself
I think this creepy parallel is intentional (it was maybe the Kubrick's idea or just the journalist knew what Kubrick's intention was). I think Kubrick's intention was to point out this inter-connectedness of fantasy and reality, but actually with more regards to reality in this movie. He featured real couple of actors (stars), used real stories in a paper and gave those references to Rothschilds' surrealist party from 1972. Maybe to highlight that his films are at the verge of reality; the movie medium actually feeds on reality and influences it at the same time. I think this was to make us reflect that seemingly dream-like entertainment (movie industry) is backed-up by very real and powerful forces/concrete people. Maybe in this movie he used more references to disturbing facts and there were more parallels to reality than he did before. Larry Celona articles are this clear parallel as well, like he is continuing this intention of Kubrick.
Beautifully measured and unsensational Presentation.
You missed the connection between 11:47 “there was nothing suspicious” and the stuff at 15:54 -- so interesting...
Omg
@@emilycampbell5798 I know! It's so creepy. Keep looking into Larry Celona. Guess who happens to break the news of several celebrity deaths, Including Jeffrey Epstein?
I've got a theory on Kubrick films inspired by you: In every Kubrick film, the film medium itself is a part of the film. E.g. in 2001 (his only widescreen film), the film is a monolith and we are like the apes and Dave. In ACO, Alex is deconditioned from violence but we are conditioned into violence from the appealing music. How do you think this "film medium as part of the film" idea applies to EWS?
Anyway, I'd just like to say I love your work! And more videos on EWS, please! By far the most intriguing film by Kubrick
iVideoCommenter I watched that very popular back to the future 911 video and he sums the monolith up similarly
The camera always seems to be moving seamlessly guiding us from scene to scene. Draws you in. It was beautifully shot 😍
As Marshall McCluhan put it; The medium is the message.
I have always been bothered by the headline reporting Mandy’s death: “drugs overdose “ is British vernacular; drug overdose is how an American newspaper would report it. This is indisputably an error giving away that the film is made in Britain and not New York,
There are other errors in the film. Mandy’s body would be covered in the morgue and not rolled out stark naked as I am sure Ziegler would have covered her with a towel before the doctor’s arrival in the bathroom.
The scene in the billiard room meanders and seems lost looking for a way out.
Think you’re looking way more into it than you should..many explanations possible..biggest one being she had ingested multiple drugs.
There is such a great demand for the pre-cut version that it would be easy for the rights holder of the film to release a re-release without editing the material for millions will not be thrown away. In addition, one would have to ask the actors and the staff on the set - very strange that they have never said anything.
Very interesting about newspaper articles and its headlines!!! in the original source, Traumnovelle (Dream Story) by Arthur Schnitzler, written in 1926, there is a story about secret society orgies, so, Kubrick definitely hasn't made it up describing some concrete society, but just adapted it to the modern society reality, you are right, it would be difficult to believe that somebody would want to kill him for just cinematization of that story as you can never be sure - was it screening or was it insinuation, why waste energy when it is not clear.
What about Mandy's death, if you think of that as a murder, it does lack being convincing, but in the original story, as she stepped forward to offer herself as a replacement, redemption, she was going to sacrifice, to take her own life....herself....society members only asked her '"do you know what you have to do now, what price you are going to pay?" she said yes. And then she added that nobody could save her anymore from that moment. It means society members, when found guilty, had to take their own life, and as it was a kind of sect, victims didn't question that decision, they did it upon their own decision and 2 men were there just to check on her, that she didn't yield to fear and cowardness, but not really to kill her. That's why it is not as efficient as a murder, but at the same time she knew her dose, how big it would have to be not to be saved
I really enjoy watching your analyses, Rob. You make me feel fatuous for not noticing all these things, and I mean that as a true compliment. 👍
I have always been fascinated by the many parallels of this movie and Doctor Zhivago, even to the name Victor being shared by both protagonists.
Agreed.
What are the other parallels? I’ve always loved both movies, so when I saw your comment it got me thinking...
What are the parallels?
@@LunazulBaraka The protagonist is BILL

Fascinating analysis thank you for uploading
I remember that Kubrick has an about 10 minute scene that he was told to cut, and no one knows what was in the scene that people didn't like. I think it was the truths that the ultra rich and powerful don't want known...
I bet the young girl from the costume store shows up again.
another absolutely delightful and insightful video by Collative. Keep it up sir.
EWS to me always seemed like a movie that was mis-edited. First time watching the move I always felt the ending scene was not really the ending, but a scene before the orgy at the mansion.
I only disagree because the ending scene shows Bill and Alice giving their daughter to 3 guys from Ziegler’s party early in the movie. And they wouldn’t have done that before Bill goes to the mansion and gets exposed to this world of elites and sex orgies and pedophilia and murder.
@@JustinBlazzzee Wait, what?? They give their daughter away at the toy store?
@@arunkeshavadas7171 I agree. Lots of people say they gave their child to two men. Or there child walked of with the two men. But when you watch that scene it's dosnt happen as explicitly as that. She walks away and isn't seen again but it isn't directly obvious they have given there child to a cult as many claim
I agree the ending makes no sense, and after all the symbology around prostitution (the first one Bill goes in to her apartment with) where she is surrounded by a Tiger teddy (hint at sex kitten programming of some sort), the costume store owner's daughter (all of the "where the rainbow ends" talk) and then the final scene of Bill's daughter being taken away by the 2 men who were at Zeigler's party (also note again, she walks through the tiger teddy bears, just like the first prostitute). All of the selling of sex, people, and young girls there are too many patterns to ignore, and nothing is by mistake in a Kubrick movie - and after all of that, to just have it end the way it ends in the final cut makes no sense. Surely the unedited footage would have had something else after that final scene.
Had Leon Vitali ever reveal anything about EWS before his passing ?
Big ups Robert always love your analyses vids
The headline "Ex-beauty queen in hotel drugs overdose" never sounded right to me. Pluralizing "drugs" doesn't seem necessary, unless it maybe connects back to the coke AND heroin od earlier...........The first paragraph of the article says "drug" only
good video
songspire I think you are on to something
Most overdoses are from poly drug abuse it's really not as common to OD off just abusing a single drug so I think they do make a callback to earlier
It's a British-style headline, talking about 'drugs overdose' rather than 'drug overdose'. Kubrick of course was an American but perhaps he'd been living in England so long, the phrasing rubbed off on him.
Chris Wright exactly Brits say it plural. He lived in England when he died, and for quite a long time previous, for some reason.
Chris Wright Also some (or all) of this was shot in England at the famous studio there which Kubrick often used, if memory serves me (and we already know the NY streets were a backlot). So it could be that the crew who produced that final copy was English themselves. The one they used for the original Star Wars trilogy and the Harry Potter series as well, again if memory serves me.
VERY interesting analysis. With some chilling details I missed. Without rehashing previous comments on this controversy. I think you're onto something here. An insider message meant to frighten those involved with the film making.
I stumbled across the allegations watching the DVD commentary on Eyes wide shut. It seems that the more people dig? The bigger the smell, and ever more questions unearthed. Strange as it may sound? Be careful!😁
I am wondering about the 28 minutes cut from the film. the plot of the film does not really make sense as it is cut. But if the character of tom cruise thought his wife was fooling around, and he goes on this hunt to find out what is up, only to discover that the Baron she was dancing with took her to one of these parties. To me the wife comes across as a player. What is the deal about the mask on his pillow when he comes home and his wife is asleep?
i had paused and read that newspaper in the ziegler scene many times feeling it has to mean something. i thought he might be trying to reveal a real life murder through clues in the article. this analysis is very interesting and look forward to more.
I always thought the words on the newspaper were meant to reflect his thoughts in that moment. Sort of like a comic reel.
Seeing as how he's "Lucky To Be Alive" and he needs to play it "Cool" if he wants to stay that way. Also mirroring his instructions for discretion.
Nice take!
Thinking Kubrick wasn’t Murdered because it was a bad move, especially after all of the strange things surrounding the articles, is one of the dumbest things to believe. If they made the right moves all the time you wouldn’t ever think of or hear of these things, why believe they are gods on earth who can’t mess up when they are committing crimes? Unbelievably stupid.
Something I noticed while watching the film today: along with the echo of the Mexican restaurant, red rose, and pink pussy cat you’ve mentioned previously, as well the the duplicating lines of type in the newspaper story. When Cruise is in the jazz club with the Nightingale character, when he’s on the phone, you hear someone in the crowd clearly say “password” before Nightingale says “I know where that is”, and then writes down the password. Just a small detail that could be part of a pattern.
Love your work!
I just watched this movie again, but as Kubrick as the doctor. He's a guy with notoriety, a guy that can usually get what he wants. Everywhere he goes the doctor shows his card and gets what he wants, like a famous movie director. He fancies himself pretty important, and hubristically goes to the party thinking he belongs. But he doesn't. The forces he tangled with are way more powerful than he is and he's made aware of that. He peeked his head through the door and became apart of something far larger. They made it clear to he and his wife that what he had seen, what he had done, would get them all killed if it ever gets out. At the end she says "we're awake now" indicating they have seen through the veil and that they are still alive. If this was the movie that got him killed, maybe all i referenced here was about him faking the moon landing.
I always love how Sydney Pollack delivers his line..."remember, the one with the great t**s". Just think it's funny for some reason. Also, great video Rob! I hope it generates more interest in the film. I wouldn't call it underrated/less spoken about... (but more like) some what under appreciated compared to Kubrick's other movies. In Kubrick years I guess it's still new!
what about the 23 minutes cut from the film?
A few years ago I watched a movie with Dustin Hoffman , Anne Heche and Robert Dinero. I can't remember the name but look it up and check it out for yourself. It's similar to EWS. I have seen things in a totally different light since that movie . It'll make you stop and think about a lot of stuff that goes on in this world and it makes a lot of sense.
Wag the Dog
No real answers but that's what makes this video so good.
Keep up the great work!
