Most likely Kubrick acknowledging how dozens of millions of american men react to all the things happening to their society. Epstein island happened, everyone knows about it but just like Tom Cruise’s character all they do is watch spots and drink beer. The movie is called “Eyes Wide Shut”. Tom’s character most likely represents the average modern American man.
...it is like from the beginning of his conception Bills life was going to be one of them anyway. Possibly old wealth/connections. Him choosing to be a Dr., was irrelevant. It's can he keep secrets.
Just look up what Nicole Kidman's father (who was a doctor like Cruises character) was accused of doing and watch the very end of the movie when the daughter is being taken away by two old men and you'll know what Eyes Wide Shut is about... And it's no coincidence as to why Kubrick cast Kidman and Cruise
Kidman’s father was a shrink and in a Satanic cult. I have listened to a woman’s detailed testimony of being abused by him and many others and her witnessing him involved in occult & sexual acts. Nicole Kidman was also involved / aware herself as a youth. Very powerful man, and a lot of Satanic occult stuff going on in Australia (even within churches).
Maybe Bill turning off the Christmas tree represents his awakening to the world around him. Much like a child coming to the realization that there is no Santa. Just a thought.
The Christmas trees are in every scene, except one: the masquerade bal. Although there is no Christmas tree adorned with ornaments and lights as in every other scene, the mansion itself is surrounded by evergreen trees. An evergreen tree was regarded as a phallic symbol of fertility worship. During Christmas time, we put decorative balls in the tree and those used to represent testicles. The light in the trees is an old symbol of light in the darkness, Light (good) winning over Darkness (evil). So when he puts of the Christmas tree, does he kill the hope? Or is the fallus symbol suddenly in the dark...but still there? It's intriguing to say the least.
There are theories that Alice was partaking in the party that can’t be talked about / has been for a long time / has a lot of power with them and all of this was an elaborate plan to tear down Bill’s masculinity, belittle him, embarrass him, turn him to jealousy. I don’t think I believe it at all but it may have been interesting to touch on
I believe that theory. She's clearly out to hurt him in many parts of the movie. Her confession, her dream, the math questions on who has more money, etc...
Thought the same, that she was "laughing at him" on several occasions, once while sleeping as he walked in. She seemed to "know" where he was, yet was cloaking her awareness by making it seem like she just dreamed about it. Her dream scenario was basically exactly where Bill had just come from.
P.S. The whole thing seemed like a Gangstaalking "Truman Show" plot against Bill as well. Everyone around him was "in on the scheme" including his wife.
The six young men represent the skull & bones secret society. Look at their shirts. They go to YALE. Another subliminal reference by the mastermind Kubrick. Also after they knock Tom (Bill) over there's a very subtle rainbow like lens flare on his coat.
ALSO Yale represents a more WASPy type school (with the notorious Skull&Bones secret society like you mentioned) and Nixon was a WASP who notoriously hated the “fággy” secret societies in San Francisco, was the most notorious J hater president and also had Watergate(which involved secret meetings to take place). With the pointing out of Menoras that Bill’s family has Kubrick is most likely pointing out the clashing of WASP and J secret societies/and elites. ALSSOOOO the “Harford”’s sound a lot like Harvard which is no doubt a J elite school, which is why the Yales boys directly clashed with Bill Harford. ALSO Bill Harford had a notably more J looking nose than the actor Tom Cruise and Bill’s wife had curly hair (like a J) but the real life actress has straight hair. I could be reading into this too much BUT their sure DOES SEEM LIKE A LOT OF COINCIDENCESSSSS.
The most bizarre layer of interpretation for me that I cannot unsee is the pedophile ring. Their kid going with the two old creeps stabbed my definition I had for the ending.
Apparently the 2 men take the daughter to the mansion and she is sacrificed. About 25 minutes of the ending was edited out after kubrick’s death. Someone in the comments saw the whole movie. The comment in the end when they say they need to fu.. , is because they lost a child and now will have another one.
@@poindextertuneswhat’s more likely is she’s being trafficked, like the rest of the women at the mansion. I don’t believe any random in comments that says they saw a mystical half hour of a movie that nobody else has ever claimed to see. 😂😂😂😂
@@torakfett3351nah that’s actually true - my parents refer to it as the “director’s cut, but you could only find the occasional one at your local blockbuster.” & people weren’t often reaching for the Eyes wide shut movie on Family movie nights in the early 00’s😂😂after a while they probably all disappeared once it switched to DVD as well. (Edit: oh, yes, because it was still VHS at the time 😅)lmao
@@Bardamu3000maybe not just alcohol alone. But the observation that his personal office/home has a large bar area with a elaborate pool table. Or the showing of rich and powerful people setting around having a drink. Or celebrating.
This observation then comment on that observation is precisely why we have ssuperstitious masses. 100 bottles of alcohol means there is 100 bottles of alcohol, you stated that, that's your opinion not fact. You didn't produce the film or props , that's my observation . In fact cohesion is impossible if you aren't aware . Come on people!
I think Alice gifting a Van Gogh puzzle is a interesting subtext as well. Gogh famously cut off one of his ears and sent them to a woman he was infatuated with. A man reduced to weakness over a woman who’s beyond his reach, something of a parallel for how Alice would like to see Bill.
Van Gogh and the Nutcracker ballet are things the rich and educated promoted to the middle and lower classes last century. I think they stand for the culture of the establishment, and they signal to the educated in the audience that Alice is like them, she likes what they like, she buys what they buy.
@sethgaston8347 I think there is a racial aspect to this movie that NOBODY wants to "explain", not the way they did with The Shining. Red hair is part of it. Van Gogh had red hair. It has to do with the white race, and the white Christian Americans, going the way of the dinosaur. To me, the movie is not about tortured love. Alice says she loves Bill, but she doesn't act like it. She doesn't seem at all happy to be with him. Bill seems strangely calm and happy to be with Alice, to me, in the last scene. I really don't get it.
@@hermanhale9258 I went into this in a different comment. As far as race is concerned, it’s not exactly the primary focus; but classism is, which has notes of racism. But Alice’s lack of love for Bill, yet her infatuation with the Naval Officer who she hadn’t even spoken to, exposes Bull’s weakness of being too weak. The story then focuses on it as Bill fails sexually for the rest of the entire film. He fails to have sex with actual street walkers or to even successfully enjoy a orgy and is intimated by actually powerful men. The entire film Bill CONSTANTLY brings up how he’s a doctor as he proudly showcases his Medical License; because it’s his crowning achievement, yet we get to men who are much richer, much more aggressive, and much sexually happier than he is, and who get the love of his wife, and POSSIBLY steal away his daughter (the last scene)
@@sethgaston8347 I never saw Bill attempt to have sex in the movie, he would have to get naked, first. Therefore, I have always thought, Bill is not really interested in having sex. Not with females, anyway. However, I did notice something just over the weekend, that I have never noticed in 100 plus viewings of EWS. When Bill is sitting on the side of the tub in Domino's apt. and she takes her coat and jacket/whatever off, I noticed the rim of the tub looks rather like a phallic symbol rising from Bill's crotch. Hence, I have to re-consider my old theory, because apparently Bill had a normal male reaction to the sight of a good-looking girl starting to undress.
This video is the first, after Rob Agers content, that I can actually take seriously. You get what Kubrick is about and it's not about him but about his work. Well done.
Notice final scene when Alice is laying in bed asleep and the mask, how the lights create an effect as she is also wearing a mask. As to say that almost every character is wearing one even metaphorical.
Frederic Raphael, the screenwriter, wanted the Harfords to be Jewish but Kubrick was opposed to that idea, he preferred the Harfords as ‘vanilla’ Americans. Kubrick added that Bill should be a ‘Harrison Ford-ish goy’ - hence Har-ford.
At exactly 14:04, when Zeigler sits on the pool table, there is a camera on the mantle - someone is watching - which a light is above. There are lights above the table and above the men's portraits to a lesser permanent degree. The ones above the table represent and are above Bill, Zeigler, the camera, and the unrepresented group of Zeigler's friends. All of these lights are from above. The only lights from below are 1. Out of sight and pointing towards a makeshift eye directly over and connected to Bill's shoulder. The only visible light from below illuminates a spiral, one of the major symbols of secretive sexual attraction to boys. Considering this and the symbols on the door of the mansion, it makes sense this spiral represents a built in foundation for this type of interests and the mansion party ruse and set up were carefully orchestrated from the beginning to assess Bill's ability to be introduced slowly to the ideas and practices the group participates in and judge his ability to keep secrets etc. with a built-in out resulting in his silence and the revoked opportunity for initiation into the group with control over his life still very much intact. Brilliant.
We'll never know the real thing because footage was removed, some was never finished, and the studio did what they wanted with it after he died. He was allegedly furious before he died because he saw/heard what they were going to do with it.
The ride to Long Island shows the road 106/107 which goes north of the Long Island expressway known as the LIE which is another clue hence LIE . The towns on 106:107 are where millionaires and billionaires live upper brookvile oyster bay etc. old money .
I alsawys read the subtext as the elites worshiping venus and Saturn. Saturnalia ended on December 23/24, celebrated in a similar way at the org* with the gold and black colours of Saturn...explains the 'shutting out' of Xmas.... 8 pointed star of venus is everywhere at the first party, you can't miss it. Good video!
I remember reading somewhere that there were cases of parents dedicating their children for "Sacred prostitution" in a temple of Aphrodite (Venus) somewhere in Ancient Greece. Not too unlike to what ended up happening with that man who bought the costume shop.
When Domino says "maids day off" she's likely referring to herself, because she's "off" that day and by that she means taking care of her child. Because for her "work" is actually more like play by comparison to being a mom and keeping the kitchen clean, thus a further reference to food and the lower classes.
im struck by the bike being locked down but the pram being communal i mean a bike is a common symbol for a prostitute but you have a bike thats not for everyone to ride (makes sense she may be sick) but the the pram/stroller? ....there is a theme in this movie
The colour scheme plays a big part, blue represents reality, red represents temptation, sexuality, and the unknown. So the lady of the night wears a purple dress, because she represents temptation but also reality at the same time. The pram is blue, the roommate is wearing blue.
Thanks for up loading. I hadn't noticed the Christmas/Halloween, commercial lighting that also appeared in a domestic setting. I had noticed that Bill is nearly always shown in a blue light. I would be interested to hear what you think about the lighting in the Shining. Particularly the chandeliers always directly above the actors head.They remind me of medieval crowns.
Agreed. A menorah will have nine branches, one for each of the eight nights and the servant candle to light the others. Those are just regular candelabras.
The Moorish arches at the secret rituals represent the Westernized version of "Babylon the Great", which has eclipsed the original version. The incomplete menorahs symbolize the irrelevancy of their identity as God's chosen children if they choose to partake in Satanic traditions.
One thing I noticed is that Bill is a standard, or rather, a boring guy. When Alice flirts with the Hungarian, it’s clear that he is an attractive man who knows what to say to a woman. Moreover, he is cultured, taller, and more refined; he’s the right guy for a party. On the other hand, Bill is terrible. When he’s accompanied by the two women, he has nothing to say. His only value is his medical skill, which is useful at times. He probably went to Ziegler’s house because it was Christmas, but for a private party, he likely wouldn’t be invited. At the masked ball, everyone is there, including Nightingale, his wife, and probably the Hungarian. When the woman says that Bill doesn’t belong there, it’s not a compliment. Another interesting scene is when Alice asks if he flirts with patients in the office. She is provoking him to see if there is still any masculinity left in him.
As the stroller goes, there is another apartment right next to dominos. It very well could be theirs, while strange it’s not inside; that’s a better spot than just in the middle of the hallway. It’s tucked away instead of being in the way.
Alice is 'The Pink Panther', a predator big cat that preys on rabbits and birds at night. She has people killed, includin Lou, Domino, Mandy, Nick, Bill and Helena.
Cruise vears away from the bullies on the sidewalk. Because in a way, he is afraid of them. Afraid they will see that he is gay or that he is afraid of confrontation. He is also in a way afraid of his wife too. She requires too much from him and he can't give it. That is why the secret party and wearing a mask is so intriguing for him. He can be whatever he wants to be, if no one sees him. He likes to hide. But he is only a observer. That is why the red cloaked man confronts him. Also being just a observer, comes with a price. The naked woman steps up to give herself as a sacrifice. Why? I would of let them kill Cruise. Then I would of burned the mansion down. Before, I made an escape and stole a coat of course. This character, Cruise plays is a coward of the worst kind. He would allow a helpless woman to die for him. Go home and pretend it didn't happen. How many cowardly, sick, twisted men have actually done that? Unfortunately, quite a few.
Yea the movie isn’t funny to watch when the main protagonist is such a coward. All his friends that stuck their neck out for him die and he doesn’t care in the slightest. Also he’s weak for letting his wife walk all over him
Actually this is spot on. In the novella the movie was based on, the protagonist tries to sleep around to get revenge on his wife, after she confessed to have had sexual fantasies about another man.
you wouldn't have been able to escape, you would have been caught, sent to the island as an item on the menu. And you would have know this, and thus not taken action. you know that you would be even more Cowardly than Cruise. Those who scream coward are the most cowardly of all. don't get it twisted.
@craigcj5953 agree with you. Cruise's reaction is how many people would react in that very fucked up scenario and is not cowardly. If he was a total coward why would he go back to the mansion?
As you mentioned "Dream Story", it's odd that you make the deliberate bumping by a young man as a Kubrick touch. It wasn't. In the book, the young men, described as students, did exactly the same thing. Kubrick filmed the incident 100% faithfully.
@@jaehyunlivedinamericafor4y879 Yes, and unlike some filmed version of novels it is incredibly accurate to the book, written in 1926. One in the eye, then for those who claim that Kubrick had discovered and exposed a secret cabal and that his death was really the result of them murdering him, masquerading as a heart attack. Some people believe the most ridiculous garbage.
@@essies4294 It was very true to the book. Which is why I liked his previous video on the film. Focused more on how kubrick's placing on characters and camera shots were his way of telling his own story, than the story of the film.
Sally and Domino are the same person. It's her alter egos or different characters she play to lure in tricks. People in her line of work, don't use their real names and often play games like this to hide their real identity. It's partly why mental health issues are so predominent in this industry; people lose themselves in their characters they play or create for roles or parts they either take on contractually or which they invent themselves - often for their own protection.
Christmas represents the fantasy, the dream-like world they run amok through, toying with their desires. Agree the switching off was deliberate, it lingers on for too long. I think it signifies sobering up to reality - that fantasy runs parallel to your worst nightmares, and in the light of day it was all never worth it.
The stroller could represent the woman who lives there, it's a symbol of her innocence and the childhood trauma she has yet to face. It is not locked up as she is still looking to fill the void, other men are pushing her stroller from time to time.
When Bill sits down to talk to Domino there is an angel post card over his left shoulder 6:36 When he returns to talk to Sally, the angel post card is gone. 6:45
You can’t understand the movie if you don’t know about mind control and multiple personalities. Hints: The two girls in the creepy flat is the same girl. Yet, Cruise is both the doctor and red cloack, he just don’t know he is.
Movies and shows with a focus on sexual abuse often carry themes of split personalities and dissociative identy disorder. Twin peaks is all about that.
I think there is alot deeper meanings too that you don't touch on. Dual meanings if you will. Thers also a theory the whole thing was to get him into the "club"
I enjoyed “the letter theory,” in that with just changing the ONE SCENE where Bill reads the letter threatening him to stay away it was changed before release. From a threat to go after his wife and child to the MUCH tamer threat of “we hope this will be sufficient,” It helps bring a lot of the story together, especially the ending.
Missed the most important sign at the very last scene. Where does the daughter go?....with a group of old men in blue. Clear as day. And Bill and Alice pay no mind as all Alice wants to do is "fuck".
Questioning Bill's masculinity is the whole point of this movie. When the receptionist hands Bill his mail and says "Your mail", you can interpret that as "You're male?"
Tromnovella, the scene where the Guy bumped into the Protagonist, he had a eye injury & had what looked like a Trophy scar. Many of the German High command had them & were proud of their Fencing Scars, some put horse hair in them to make them more prominent, Borman had one.
Ive always loved movies & shows you have to decode. Lost,Westworld,etc. Nothing is there by accident. Everything has meaning. The deeper you delve the more of the story you uncover. I love writing & you can do that to some degree. But with a visual storytelling format you have a whole new senses in the mix!
Ziegler was supposed to be played by Harvey Keitel, but he dropped out. Is it a coincidence that Cruise’s mask looks just like Harvey Keitel? Not similar to HT, but identical to HT. Coincidence? I think not.
Well, that's one theory but I see plenty of character development in Bill. He's not clueless as implied here- instead he is internally questioning every aspect of his life. Bill's quietly sensing a feeling of doom, his professional bland demeanor masking a brooding introspective psyche. He's playing simple when the reality is much deeper.
Those are not menoras. The first is a common candelabra designed to hold 5. The second is a typical decorative Christmas electric candelabra . Its larger versions are used at church altars.
Good analysis! All art, especially film when that rare occurrence when genius directors are given complete control, are ultimately about the director. Kubrick was so smart and complex that his films are infinitely interesting. And a rorshack test of what you are about NOW. 2001 now is a completely different experience than when I saw it at age 12 in 1975. You'll never see the same Kubrick movie twice. Genius.
Have you watch Open Your Eyes, the Spanish movie, that Vanilla Sky is an English language remake of? It has Penelope Cruz, in the same role, but is also different enough to be very enjoyable, on a much smaller budget.
Love your analysis. I watch this movie everytime it’s on one of my channels. Saw it when it opened was young had no idea. Left unimpressed. Now. It opens my eyes greatly.
Dominós home door has its door handle o the left and the door beside it has its door handle on the right . A clear representation that choices you make are what impact life. You do wrong choices (left door, going into prostitutes place, a bad, Wrong choice vs the door on the rihhh with the door handle on the right, the right choice.
If you pause we're he's reading the article in the paper in sharkys there's an article on the left side about a city train shooting involving hostages and like 10-15 dead. So that's what the front page headline probably is about but I agree with you sir, that it's also about Bill and what he's gotten himself into
Gets better every year. The rotating doorway at the hospital always screamed to me 2001, or even 2010. 2010 was directed by a man whose name is an anagram of Shamy, and he also directed Capricorn One. Apollo ll was Kubrick one, one
I feel like there are a lot of scenes where the females are taller than him. It’s the way I found out Tom cruise was short many years ago. Being short isn’t a bad thing but it’s something often used against a man’s masculinity.
The thing is they say it's supposed to be like a dream. But the details you've dissected (or presented) are insightful. The thing you said about how he was coerced into finding the newspaper, but if it's supposed to dream like it just doesn't matter about the little details like that yet they do exist to make it coherent in reality. I think it's important to note, if we're being picky, that menorrah by the christmas tree has 7 candles. That's supposed to mean something else I think. It's called a temple menorrah, i just looked it up. It represents tree of life i guess. (it's not for channukah)
I was thinking of this movie not as purely a dream but as if the characters have some level of self awareness and creative control of the movie via their character’s ability to dream. I think this is what people mean when they say it is about power. Honestly the more I learn about this movie from videos like this the less value it has for me and the less I enjoy it.
I think the casting choice of a scientology couple who broke up right after this film is definitely a big clue. Many cults practice child abuse and child sacrifice. The roots of scientology are very occult as well. I can't go in to more detail about Kabbala, the tree of lofe and ita connection to cults that celebrate sarurnalia without furthur context and layong that context might take months at the very least! Suffice to say the deleted scenes and the changes made after Kubrick's death obscure a lot of clues.
16:11. Not a menorah. It has a central candle with four candles around it. There was one at my parents house when I was a kid. Is it called a candelabra? Still could be kabbalah significant. e.g. Tree of life in "solid form" (3D)
The problem with your theory is, that I don't think you know what a menorah is, what it's for or what they look like. They're never 5 branched - that's a candlabra - and they're never uneven hights. Something I'm sure Kubrick knew.
@@nojuanatall3281 yes, but not what I was addressing, he was calling a candlabra a menorah. They are not the same nor are they connected outside of the function of holding candles.
@@Nozarks1 which one are you talking about? There were several different candle holders. Perhaps you're not familier with what a menorah look like, they have 7 branches all in a row with one odd fellow off the center holder. The menorah is used to celebrate Chanukkah, the Festival of Lights, as a memorial to the rebuilding of the Temple. The odd fellow represents the single oil lamp that remained lit for seven days and all other candles are lit from. So you see, they cannot be five branched or nine branched, or be uneven in hight. My issue is not with the movie, it's with the presentor's misrepresentation and understanding of what a menorah is. For the record, I'm not Jewish.
New to channel. Now subscribed. This Jewish heritage angle actually makes more connections. He is a doctor and will be allowed CLOSE to levers of power (in USA) but will never be part of the inner sanctum. But they will be treated well and will have their spirituality. Their heritage. Why the Christmas decor is only in the larger public area.
Alice is Passive Aggressive , when she asks Bill , " how she looks " , while peeing.... Bill didn't want to stare at her while peeing. She took it as an insult.
Because I read this in a magazine back in the 90s or earlier, I think the meaning of Bill walking into the bathroom while Alice is peeing is "The magic has gone out of their marriage." The hair comment may show loss of confidence, or it may be a vulgar joke directed to the men in the audience who are interested in watching Alice pee, seeing her underwear, and more.
I like how Bill waves his medical ID around like it's an all day pass to Disneyland.

The Christmas trees are in every scene, except one: the masquerade bal. Although there is no Christmas tree adorned with ornaments and lights as in every other scene, the mansion itself is surrounded by evergreen trees.

We always switch off the tree before bedtime. In fact we do that with all the lights.
@@trikkke11 yeah, that's the thing with Kubrick; we tend to analyze every little detail.

There are theories that Alice was partaking in the party that can’t be talked about / has been for a long time / has a lot of power with them and all of this was an elaborate plan to tear down Bill’s masculinity, belittle him, embarrass him, turn him to jealousy. I don’t think I believe it at all but it may have been interesting to touch on
I believe that theory. She's clearly out to hurt him in many parts of the movie. Her confession, her dream, the math questions on who has more money, etc...
She is the crypto-jewish of the family ;)
Thought the same, that she was "laughing at him" on several occasions, once while sleeping as he walked in.
She seemed to "know" where he was, yet was cloaking her awareness by making it seem like she just dreamed about it.
Her dream scenario was basically exactly where Bill had just come from.
P.S. The whole thing seemed like a Gangstaalking "Truman Show" plot against Bill as well.
Everyone around him was "in on the scheme" including his wife.
Yes. Alice provoked the entire story. I believe All part of the plan.
The fact Kubrick died less than week after the films release and 22 minutes was edited tells you something!!!!!!
This coment shoud be on top, the fact it is not tells everything ❤
The six young men represent the skull & bones secret society. Look at their shirts. They go to YALE. Another subliminal reference by the mastermind Kubrick. Also after they knock Tom (Bill) over there's a very subtle rainbow like lens flare on his coat.
ALSO Yale represents a more WASPy type school (with the notorious Skull&Bones secret society like you mentioned) and Nixon was a WASP who notoriously hated the “fággy” secret societies in San Francisco, was the most notorious J hater president and also had Watergate(which involved secret meetings to take place). With the pointing out of Menoras that Bill’s family has Kubrick is most likely pointing out the clashing of WASP and J secret societies/and elites. ALSSOOOO the “Harford”’s sound a lot like Harvard which is no doubt a J elite school, which is why the Yales boys directly clashed with Bill Harford. ALSO Bill Harford had a notably more J looking nose than the actor Tom Cruise and Bill’s wife had curly hair (like a J) but the real life actress has straight hair.
I could be reading into this too much BUT their sure DOES SEEM LIKE A LOT OF COINCIDENCESSSSS.
Yep I would add that their plan was to make Bill pay the women and she is too part of the cult as them
He also falls against a blue BMW. Nazi company.
There's a Lebanese flag on the building behind them too for Canaanite symbolism. Milich = Moloch.
The most bizarre layer of interpretation for me that I cannot unsee is the pedophile ring. Their kid going with the two old creeps stabbed my definition I had for the ending.
Apparently the 2 men take the daughter to the mansion and she is sacrificed. About 25 minutes of the ending was edited out after kubrick’s death. Someone in the comments saw the whole movie. The comment in the end when they say they need to fu.. , is because they lost a child and now will have another one.
@@Nozarks1that sounds very highly unlikely
@@poindextertunes someone in the comments said they saw the 25 minutes that were removed. Who knows if that was the truth or not

Alcohol in movies represents power. So for Zeiglers room to have a hundred liquor bottles represents his immense power and connections
@@Bardamu3000maybe not just alcohol alone. But the observation that his personal office/home has a large bar area with a elaborate pool table. Or the showing of rich and powerful people setting around having a drink. Or celebrating.

This observation then comment on that observation is precisely why we have ssuperstitious masses. 100 bottles of alcohol means there is 100 bottles of alcohol, you stated that, that's your opinion not fact.

I think Alice gifting a Van Gogh puzzle is a interesting subtext as well. Gogh famously cut off one of his ears and sent them to a woman he was infatuated with.
A man reduced to weakness over a woman who’s beyond his reach, something of a parallel for how Alice would like to see Bill.
Van Gogh and the Nutcracker ballet are things the rich and educated promoted to the middle and lower classes last century. I think they stand for the culture of the establishment, and they signal to the educated in the audience that Alice is like them, she likes what they like, she buys what they buy.
@@hermanhale9258
That’s a part of it too, but why Van Gogh specifically? I think that correlation fits in better with the rest of the story.
@sethgaston8347 I think there is a racial aspect to this movie that NOBODY wants to "explain", not the way they did with The Shining. Red hair is part of it. Van Gogh had red hair. It has to do with the white race, and the white Christian Americans, going the way of the dinosaur. To me, the movie is not about tortured love. Alice says she loves Bill, but she doesn't act like it. She doesn't seem at all happy to be with him. Bill seems strangely calm and happy to be with Alice, to me, in the last scene. I really don't get it.
@@hermanhale9258
I went into this in a different comment. As far as race is concerned, it’s not exactly the primary focus; but classism is, which has notes of racism.
But Alice’s lack of love for Bill, yet her infatuation with the Naval Officer who she hadn’t even spoken to, exposes Bull’s weakness of being too weak. The story then focuses on it as Bill fails sexually for the rest of the entire film.
He fails to have sex with actual street walkers or to even successfully enjoy a orgy and is intimated by actually powerful men. The entire film Bill CONSTANTLY brings up how he’s a doctor as he proudly showcases his Medical License; because it’s his crowning achievement, yet we get to men who are much richer, much more aggressive, and much sexually happier than he is, and who get the love of his wife, and POSSIBLY steal away his daughter (the last scene)
@@sethgaston8347 I never saw Bill attempt to have sex in the movie, he would have to get naked, first. Therefore, I have always thought, Bill is not really interested in having sex. Not with females, anyway. However, I did notice something just over the weekend, that I have never noticed in 100 plus viewings of EWS. When Bill is sitting on the side of the tub in Domino's apt. and she takes her coat and jacket/whatever off, I noticed the rim of the tub looks rather like a phallic symbol rising from Bill's crotch. Hence, I have to re-consider my old theory, because apparently Bill had a normal male reaction to the sight of a good-looking girl starting to undress.
It's really a disguised Mission: Impossible movie where he has to infiltrate a corrupt group of gazilionaires?
😂
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
Ngl from some of the shots and Cruise being the lead, I totally thought the movie would go in that direction
Mission Impossible

The paranoia of being watched when you're not. But their influence is everywhere reminding you.
This video is the first, after Rob Agers content, that I can actually take seriously. You get what Kubrick is about and it's not about him but about his work. Well done.
Really enjoyed the takes you have on this masterpiece of a movie. It only gets better as time goes on as we pick it apart.
I have heard some theories that Bill is actually a metaphor for Stanley.
I heard one that said Bill represented JFK Jr. He even dressed like him.
That was my impression. The insider Great Artist that was actually always an outsider.
Notice final scene when Alice is laying in bed asleep and the mask, how the lights create an effect as she is also wearing a mask. As to say that almost every character is wearing one even metaphorical.
now you're just making stuff up

Frederic Raphael, the screenwriter, wanted the Harfords to be Jewish but Kubrick was opposed to that idea, he preferred the Harfords as ‘vanilla’ Americans. Kubrick added that Bill should be a ‘Harrison Ford-ish goy’ - hence Har-ford.
HF is jewish
Harrison Ford-ish goy is ironic cuz Harrison Ford is still jewish
At exactly 14:04, when Zeigler sits on the pool table, there is a camera on the mantle - someone is watching - which a light is above. There are lights above the table and above the men's portraits to a lesser permanent degree. The ones above the table represent and are above Bill, Zeigler, the camera, and the unrepresented group of Zeigler's friends. All of these lights are from above. The only lights from below are 1. Out of sight and pointing towards a makeshift eye directly over and connected to Bill's shoulder. The only visible light from below illuminates a spiral, one of the major symbols of secretive sexual attraction to boys. Considering this and the symbols on the door of the mansion, it makes sense this spiral represents a built in foundation for this type of interests and the mansion party ruse and set up were carefully orchestrated from the beginning to assess Bill's ability to be introduced slowly to the ideas and practices the group participates in and judge his ability to keep secrets etc. with a built-in out resulting in his silence and the revoked opportunity for initiation into the group with control over his life still very much intact. Brilliant.

I alsawys read the subtext as the elites worshiping venus and Saturn. Saturnalia ended on December 23/24, celebrated in a similar way at the org* with the gold and black colours of Saturn...explains the 'shutting out' of Xmas.... 8 pointed star of venus is everywhere at the first party, you can't miss it. Good video!
I remember reading somewhere that there were cases of parents dedicating their children for "Sacred prostitution" in a temple of Aphrodite (Venus) somewhere in Ancient Greece. Not too unlike to what ended up happening with that man who bought the costume shop.

I was looking for this comment.
I'm glad to find the comment connecting this not to Christmas but to Saturnalia
Missed the hatred towards Christians! Thanks
When Domino says "maids day off" she's likely referring to herself, because she's "off" that day and by that she means taking care of her child. Because for her "work" is actually more like play by comparison to being a mom and keeping the kitchen clean, thus a further reference to food and the lower classes.
im struck by the bike being locked down but the pram being communal i mean a bike is a common symbol for a prostitute
but you have a bike thats not for everyone to ride (makes sense she may be sick) but the the pram/stroller? ....there is a theme in this movie
Good eye!
I only had to click away from ads four times to get this video to play. Thanks for that.
The colour scheme plays a big part, blue represents reality, red represents temptation, sexuality, and the unknown. So the lady of the night wears a purple dress, because she represents temptation but also reality at the same time. The pram is blue, the roommate is wearing blue.
It appeared to me that Eyes Wide Shut took strong inspiration by two Martin Scorsese films: Taxi Driver and After Hours. That touched me very much.
Thanks for up loading. I hadn't noticed the Christmas/Halloween, commercial lighting that also appeared in a domestic setting.
I had noticed that Bill is nearly always shown in a blue light.
I would be interested to hear what you think about the lighting in the Shining. Particularly the chandeliers always directly above the actors head.They remind me of medieval crowns.
They always reminded me of crowns, too.
Each rewatch spurs more theories and thoughts. Such a classic
Not all candelabrae are menorah. Also, there are poinsettias in the living room which are a traditional Christmas decoration.
Agreed. A menorah will have nine branches, one for each of the eight nights and the servant candle to light the others. Those are just regular candelabras.
The Moorish arches at the secret rituals represent the Westernized version of "Babylon the Great", which has eclipsed the original version. The incomplete menorahs symbolize the irrelevancy of their identity as God's chosen children if they choose to partake in Satanic traditions.
yeah lost me with that one. Also I think the stroller is more of a sign that Domino and Sally were procurers of children for Ziegler.
lol yeah I didn't see a single menorah
the shots do draw attention to the candles though
One thing I noticed is that Bill is a standard, or rather, a boring guy. When Alice flirts with the Hungarian, it’s clear that he is an attractive man who knows what to say to a woman. Moreover, he is cultured, taller, and more refined; he’s the right guy for a party. On the other hand, Bill is terrible. When he’s accompanied by the two women, he has nothing to say. His only value is his medical skill, which is useful at times. He probably went to Ziegler’s house because it was Christmas, but for a private party, he likely wouldn’t be invited.
At the masked ball, everyone is there, including Nightingale, his wife, and probably the Hungarian. When the woman says that Bill doesn’t belong there, it’s not a compliment.
Another interesting scene is when Alice asks if he flirts with patients in the office. She is provoking him to see if there is still any masculinity left in him.
As the stroller goes, there is another apartment right next to dominos. It very well could be theirs, while strange it’s not inside; that’s a better spot than just in the middle of the hallway. It’s tucked away instead of being in the way.
very possible
Alice is 'The Pink Panther', a predator big cat that preys on rabbits and birds at night. She has people killed, includin Lou, Domino, Mandy, Nick, Bill and Helena.
A good witch like Glenda
Cruise vears away from the bullies on the sidewalk. Because in a way, he is afraid of them. Afraid they will see that he is gay or that he is afraid of confrontation. He is also in a way afraid of his wife too.
She requires too much from him and he can't give it.
That is why the secret party and wearing a mask is so intriguing for him. He can be whatever he wants to be, if no one sees him. He likes to hide.
But he is only a observer. That is why the red cloaked man confronts him.
Also being just a observer, comes with a price. The naked woman steps up to give herself as a sacrifice.
Why? I would of let them kill Cruise. Then I would of burned the mansion down. Before, I made an escape and stole a coat of course.
This character, Cruise plays is a coward of the worst kind. He would allow a helpless woman to die for him. Go home and pretend it didn't happen.
How many cowardly, sick, twisted men have actually done that? Unfortunately, quite a few.
Yea the movie isn’t funny to watch when the main protagonist is such a coward. All his friends that stuck their neck out for him die and he doesn’t care in the slightest. Also he’s weak for letting his wife walk all over him
Actually this is spot on. In the novella the movie was based on, the protagonist tries to sleep around to get revenge on his wife, after she confessed to have had sexual fantasies about another man.
you wouldn't have been able to escape, you would have been caught, sent to the island as an item on the menu. And you would have know this, and thus not taken action. you know that you would be even more Cowardly than Cruise. Those who scream coward are the most cowardly of all. don't get it twisted.
@craigcj5953 agree with you. Cruise's reaction is how many people would react in that very fucked up scenario and is not cowardly. If he was a total coward why would he go back to the mansion?

As you mentioned "Dream Story", it's odd that you make the deliberate bumping by a young man as a Kubrick touch. It wasn't. In the book, the young men, described as students, did exactly the same thing. Kubrick filmed the incident 100% faithfully.

People are the food.
At 15:00 in this video there is a Xmas decoration with an inverted pentagram in between Tom cruise and Nicole Kidman.
Also each side creates the seal of masonry showing their relation.
Sally and Domino are the same person.
It's her alter egos or different characters she play to lure in tricks.
People in her line of work, don't use their real names and often play games like this to hide their real identity.
It's partly why mental health issues are so predominent in this industry; people lose themselves in their characters they play or create for roles or parts they either take on contractually or which they invent themselves - often for their own protection.

Dude, the first example is not a menorah. It's a candelabra.
Christmas represents the fantasy, the dream-like world they run amok through, toying with their desires. Agree the switching off was deliberate, it lingers on for too long. I think it signifies sobering up to reality - that fantasy runs parallel to your worst nightmares, and in the light of day it was all never worth it.
What a good channel!!! Keep it up buddy, you're doing a great job.
The stroller could represent the woman who lives there, it's a symbol of her innocence and the childhood trauma she has yet to face. It is not locked up as she is still looking to fill the void, other men are pushing her stroller from time to time.
When Bill sits down to talk to Domino there is an angel post card over his left shoulder 6:36 When he returns to talk to Sally, the angel post card is gone. 6:45
so
You can’t understand the movie if you don’t know about mind control and multiple personalities. Hints: The two girls in the creepy flat is the same girl. Yet, Cruise is both the doctor and red cloack, he just don’t know he is.
Cover of the movie is them in a mirror
Ahahahah ahahahah television crack head's LOLOL
@nexussymbiosis9270 what?
Movies and shows with a focus on sexual abuse often carry themes of split personalities and dissociative identy disorder. Twin peaks is all about that.
For being the Red Cloak, Bill has to be the Hungarian -Sandor Szavost- too.
I think there is alot deeper meanings too that you don't touch on. Dual meanings if you will. Thers also a theory the whole thing was to get him into the "club"
I enjoyed “the letter theory,” in that with just changing the ONE SCENE where Bill reads the letter threatening him to stay away it was changed before release.
From a threat to go after his wife and child to the MUCH tamer threat of “we hope this will be sufficient,”
It helps bring a lot of the story together, especially the ending.
Missed the most important sign at the very last scene. Where does the daughter go?....with a group of old men in blue. Clear as day. And Bill and Alice pay no mind as all Alice wants to do is "fuck".

Questioning Bill's masculinity is the whole point of this movie. When the receptionist hands Bill his mail and says "Your mail", you can interpret that as "You're male?"
Tromnovella, the scene where the Guy bumped into the Protagonist, he had a eye injury & had what looked like a Trophy scar. Many of the German High command had them & were proud of their Fencing Scars, some put horse hair in them to make them more prominent, Borman had one.

The WHOLE of history is conspiratorial. Imagine being so dumb that you let the conspirators convince you that there's no conspiracy.
Ive always loved movies & shows you have to decode. Lost,Westworld,etc. Nothing is there by accident. Everything has meaning. The deeper you delve the more of the story you uncover. I love writing & you can do that to some degree. But with a visual storytelling format you have a whole new senses in the mix!
Ziegler was supposed to be played by Harvey Keitel, but he dropped out.
Is it a coincidence that Cruise’s mask looks just like Harvey Keitel? Not similar to HT, but identical to HT.
Coincidence? I think not.
I dont understand why you call that decoration christmas and halloween, there are no halloween elements its a purely christmas decoration
30 minutes was cut from this film. Who knows what that means...
Well, that's one theory but I see plenty of character development in Bill. He's not clueless as implied here- instead he is internally questioning every aspect of his life. Bill's quietly sensing a feeling of doom, his professional bland demeanor masking a brooding introspective psyche. He's playing simple when the reality is much deeper.
Those are not menoras. The first is a common candelabra designed to hold 5. The second is a typical decorative Christmas electric candelabra . Its larger versions are used at church altars.
The sex party scene is pretty tame compared to a Diddy party.
I take you have 1st hand experience?
One of Quinton Tarintinos friends literally echoed the idea that their kid Helena was taken away again by the elites
That decoration is a great catch and a huge clue

The scene where Bill gets knocked down is the only time I ever remember a reference to how short and small Tom Cruise is in any of his films.
I feel like there are a lot of scenes where the females are taller than him. It’s the way I found out Tom cruise was short many years ago. Being short isn’t a bad thing but it’s something often used against a man’s masculinity.
The thing is they say it's supposed to be like a dream. But the details you've dissected (or presented) are insightful. The thing you said about how he was coerced into finding the newspaper, but if it's supposed to dream like it just doesn't matter about the little details like that yet they do exist to make it coherent in reality. I think it's important to note, if we're being picky, that menorrah by the christmas tree has 7 candles. That's supposed to mean something else I think. It's called a temple menorrah, i just looked it up. It represents tree of life i guess. (it's not for channukah)
I was thinking of this movie not as purely a dream but as if the characters have some level of self awareness and creative control of the movie via their character’s ability to dream. I think this is what people mean when they say it is about power. Honestly the more I learn about this movie from videos like this the less value it has for me and the less I enjoy it.
@@lopiklopit’s not a menorah if it has less than 9 branches total.
I think the casting choice of a scientology couple who broke up right after this film is definitely a big clue.
Many cults practice child abuse and child sacrifice. The roots of scientology are very occult as well. I can't go in to more detail about Kabbala, the tree of lofe and ita connection to cults that celebrate sarurnalia without furthur context and layong that context might take months at the very least! Suffice to say the deleted scenes and the changes made after Kubrick's death obscure a lot of clues.
Yeah, no. You're overthinking and that too in the wrong direction.
Darling. Kabbalah is not bad.
Also The tree of life connects everyone
Kidman’s father was deep in the dark stuff. Kubrick was likely aware of that and her inclusion was no accident.
@@sarahelenatheoriginal709 What is kabbalah about?
Stanley Kubrick was such a genius, he bordered insanity
16:11. Not a menorah. It has a central candle with four candles around it. There was one at my parents house when I was a kid. Is it called a candelabra? Still could be kabbalah significant. e.g. Tree of life in "solid form" (3D)
The problem with your theory is, that I don't think you know what a menorah is, what it's for or what they look like. They're never 5 branched - that's a candlabra - and they're never uneven hights. Something I'm sure Kubrick knew.
That's why he mentioned the kabbalh or Jewish mysticism. Perhaps the 5 and 7 relate to particular parts of the tree of life or their life paths.
@@nojuanatall3281 yes, but not what I was addressing, he was calling a candlabra a menorah. They are not the same nor are they connected outside of the function of holding candles.
It looks like a menorah and got the message across
@@Nozarks1 which one are you talking about? There were several different candle holders. Perhaps you're not familier with what a menorah look like, they have 7 branches all in a row with one odd fellow off the center holder. The menorah is used to celebrate Chanukkah, the Festival of Lights, as a memorial to the rebuilding of the Temple. The odd fellow represents the single oil lamp that remained lit for seven days and all other candles are lit from. So you see, they cannot be five branched or nine branched, or be uneven in hight.
My issue is not with the movie, it's with the presentor's misrepresentation and understanding of what a menorah is.

Good question
Alice is Passive Aggressive , when she asks Bill , " how she looks " , while peeing.... Bill didn't want to stare at her while peeing. She took it as an insult.
Because I read this in a magazine back in the 90s or earlier, I think the meaning of Bill walking into the bathroom while Alice is peeing is "The magic has gone out of their marriage." The hair comment may show loss of confidence, or it may be a vulgar joke directed to the men in the audience who are interested in watching Alice pee, seeing her underwear, and more.
Could have sworn that I read, a long time ago, that Kubrick had considered Steve Martin for the role of BH.
