3 months after Eyes Wide Shut was finished and Kubrick died in March 1999, in June 1999 the New York Post described Kubrick as a “self-hating Jew”. Instead of praising America’s most accomplished and genius director, they called him that. Speaks volumes about his final movie.
What was their evidence of such a claim?
@@reasonableskeptic5703google NY post kubrick self hating jew, it's the first article. There's actually a part two to the article as well. I tried linking it but I think my comment got deleted?
I never knew that, EWS rattled a few too many cages. The critical backlash to this film was strange. I left the cinema that evening knowing I’d seen something incredible, but I didn’t understand really what I’d been bombarded by - until I saw the film a second and third time. What is this film about really? People are still arguing about that today. That’s why it’s a great movie, we are still talking about it all these years later.
That rarely happens in any art form.
Kubrick was incredible.
@@reasonableskeptic5703he would intentionally remove any Jewish character from his works he adapted
Yeah we fuckn know
He’s my all time favorite director. Nobody puts music in a movie as well as Kubrick. He’s the greatest.
Tarantino is a close second, maybe even joint first ,,,
What! ?. the sound score for "Eyes Wide Shut" was very annoying to me. That just killed any interest in the movie for me. And yes he was a genius at what he did. But don't like the abuse he did on actress Shelley Duvall in the making of the movie The Shining. he had her do a scene over a 100 times. That is sick & abusive to me. Loved The Shining.
@@computerpurple In “Eyes Wide Shut” I believe he used a Romanian Boys Choir and played it backwards, to give it an eerie effect. You should check out “A Space Odyssey 2001” Kubrick pretty much invented using music to influence our emotions. I believe he was the first to do it that way. The Shelly Duvall thing sucks, but she was a grown woman and there’s 3 sides to every story.Peace
Thank you so much for the explanation in regards to the music score Kubrick used. That helps explain a lot. Still find it very annoying. I like the movie 2001 . The music score in that is excellent.. Loved The Shining.
@@Albert-the-Astrothe composer is the one who took a Romanian sermon and reversed it for the movie, not Kubrick. His films are great, but credit where credits is due
I’ve been obsessing over this movie recently
Me too! I just watched it for the first time 2 days ago.
@@mlondon1157I just finished watching it today 😂. Now I’m stuck in a rabbit hole about EWS
@ 🤭
Check out Rob Ager’s analyses. I’ve learned SO much.
Music in the background is Waltz no. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich
Cool, no one asked, don’t try to look interesting or a smarty pants, that’s why have tools like shazam if we wanted to know the name of that song
@@sunnyd-pad He was probably just acting proactively, knowing that somebody would like the music and not know the title.
thank you 🙏
Thanks!
@@sunnyd-padseriously go fuck youself, not trying to be a smart as?
Get out
wonderful man Stanley kubrick love him and that movie is very very masterpiece
Stanley's best film I never get tired of watching.
Not hardly
@@MikeSpaccarelli It's definitely my favorite. I didn't like "eyes" when I first saw it. Then I saw it again. And again. There's definitely an argument to be made that it's his best.
Kubrick's last movie talking about the secret world of elite parties but the studio insisted he cut 20mins from the movie and then he died suddenly and never say final cut of his final work. Brilliant director
Using drugs ain’t good for you
@smeng-hj5ok
you knew Kubrick personally I suppose!? Consulting Coroner?
@@jenrich111 oh you knew him personally, huh?
@@smeng-hj5ok did you do drugs together with Mr.Kubrich ?
Eyes Wide Shut is about the differences between men and women, the sexual desires that the two carry, and hide from one another.
You’re looking at the surface level narrative, which is almost never what a Kubrick film is actually about. If he wanted to expose the world elites, he would have done so. Everyone already knew rich people had weird sex parties, this movie came out in 1999, not 1969.
He changed, cause old stanley wouldve made em do it again and again
he did lol. his last movie he made them do tons of takes
He told Harvey Keitel to walk through the door 100 times, Keitel quit immediately and then they got Sydney Pollack
@@rohan_3128 interesting how he cast jewish actors in that role
Filme fantástico maravilhoso
Tea gone cold~
And then there is clint who is happy with two takes
Eastwood's a lazy director, that's why. Does anyone honestly hold any of Clint's works to the same level as Kubrick?
@@Whoa802 i mean hes won best picture and best director twice each so id say hes done quite well with his method too. But theyre totally different types of filmmakers, clint is very much focused just on the story, his movies are just classic old dramas, and kubrick is much more into experimenting and the visuals and the artistic side of it, his vision of the final take isnt as predetermined as clints is, hes sort of discovering it on the go.
@@gvngbvngiggy Yeah, but how many movies can people list off the top of their heads that he's directed anyway? You'd probably come up with 5 or 6 at most, whereas Kubrick made mostly nothing but masterpieces for the majority of his career.
@@Whoa802Of the top of my head Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Bridges of Maddison County, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Gran Tarino, Letters from Iwo Jima, American Sniper, sully.
@@kingkiller5325he didnt direct Gran Torino but great movie too
I miss the days when Directors stood out & 1,000,000 films weren’t released each year. You had time to appreciate & those memories stay with you. Now with streaming & TH-cam,( as well as theatrical, etc), the onscreen entertainment market is over saturated. Movies come out & are immediately forgotten as the next one is debuting that same day on Netflix. Gone are the Kubricks, Cameron’s, Donner’s, Spielbergs, Hitchcock’s, etc. There are still some actively working legends left but the newest slate of Directorial talent seems to lean into a “pair” of Directors. You just need a brother (Russo Bros, Duffer Bros, Mario Bros)
Fewer movies are released in theaters now than when this was released. The internet has made cinema risky business.
Definitely over saturated. It's because for the last several years everything they came out with was just to push agenda so they had to keep up with the current times! Hence all the stupid TV shows!🤷🏽♂️
And poor acting.
As long as Scorcese is still alive…after that not so sure
And then they killed him, and censored his movie
Interesting: do you think he was killed? It seems a little strange to me too that he died at the age of 70 .. maybe, there is something they haven't told us yet ..
@youmovie1359 he was definitely killed, they told him to cut a part of the movie he said no, and days later had an heart attack. They cut the film and then released it. When you watch it you can feel that something is missing
@@LeJames-gf1nv They said he died in his sleep.. how would they kill him in his sleep without leaving any trace? I mean, it's possible that he was killed but I don't understand the dynamics ...
@@youmovie1359who is they? “They said he died in his sleep” My friend those “they” are the same “they” that killed him
@@youmovie1359"yeah, like there isnt any type of killing someone whit out leaving any trace" lmao😂 obviously it exist also, you also think they give him a full autopsi😂
Remember, when culture was just about adults and not freaking superheroes or murder
No? There have always been superheroes and murder in culture. From ancient mythology to modern fiction.
great loop lmao
Which is the actual ending of the film....
To be fair I would want prime Nicole to be doing scenes over and over too
😂😂😂
They showed all kind of things during the party scene. What is considered really bad to show?There where kids at the party. that shows too much of the truth and they covered it up.
I'm a flat earther and researched many other conspiracies. What is your guess on what was taken out from the movie?
@@sorenarica one thing's the elites are pedos another's the earth is fucking flat buddy way too far
@@sorenaricaAllegedly there was supposed to be a scene involving children being abused during the party which would be deemed too much by hollywood
@@goo4281some of that is still in the movie. The costume shop's owner underage daughter tells Tom Cruise the exact costume he should buy to get into the party.
How would she know that?
@@sorenaricasupposedly they had a model of the earth in one of the rooms, like the globe, except it was flat
Nicole looks better in interview then in the movie
Nah. She was very sexy in the movie. I wanted her badly
When I first saw the movie and when I saw the last scene, when Nicole said that there was something important that we should do as soon as possible, and she said, "FUCK." And before she say it, I said it. I don't know how 😄
Yeah i laugh at first and somehow she is hilarious badass devil😂.. Btw i guess judging how stanley motivate the cast to speed up the finishing of the movie tells he want to make sure he finish his mission knowing he can be killed any day
I love Kubrick's films, he sounds like he had a similar method to copolla, obsessive levels of takes and finds the golden one. Interestingly Clint Eastwood as a director always just does one take (unless someone messes up the lines). Not saying which ones right just interesting
Kubrick will only cast a person who have the potential of posessing their character spirit and he knows actor like nicole knows how to give up themselves to let the spirit use her body.. Kubrick tells her we need to do it fast to nicole means she need to surrender totally for the spirit to control her body to give the fucking shoot.. Thats what kubrick said he just need the perfect 5 minute energy 😂
I love and have seen almost all of Kubrick’s work. some of my all time favorites were directed by him or Tim Burton💜
Стенли Кубрик величаайший режиссер всех времен и народов, он оставил , один из сааамых мощных, сильных, незабываемы следов, в кинематографе❤Стенли гений❤
They gave away the daughter at the end, hence the original men at BOTH parties walking around a toy store and she leaves with them.
The consequence of Tom Cruise's actions was they took his daughter into trafficking. People are still eyes shut to the real reality.
Ive seen this movie a dozen times and missed that part. You say Cruise and Kidman gave the daughter away or she was taken away?
@@PURDY_POISON taken by the 2 old men walking around the teddy bears
@@HouseIng-q1u TY I always wondered why Kidman was talking about fing. Now I realize it was to get attention off of the men.
And guess what else, they took Kubrick’s daughter and introduced her to Scientology
@@HouseIng-q1u There was also tiger 🐯 doll toys.
Kubrick's biggest flex was hiring other movie directors as actors in his movies.
We got pregnant @17 and we kept him...he's gonna be 43 in May
❤😊
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman looked beautiful in this movie. Especially Tom Cruise he killed it as Bill Harford one of his many great performances. I love his and Kubricks father son relationship he was so saddened by his dead :(
his best performance is as lestat the vampire. brad pitt looked like dogshit compared to his performance. eyes wide shut is my favorite movie of all time though
eh. young Cruise wasn’t bad looking, but no match to Kidman
@@slonmish to each their own but no, I think Tom cruise is the most handsome man in Hollywood and the most handsome woman in Angelina Jolie. I want to see them together in a movie one day.
Actors took it personally like their takes weren't good, but Kubrick just wanted options in the editing room.
Beautiful
I was thinking what a dumb way to start the video. And then I realized it was all done for sole purpose of making that loop. But my opinion hasn't changed lol
TE HACE FALTA VER MAS BAX......
It's all good, Diddy finished the movie
If you watch it in a loop she says “there is something very important that we need to do as soon as possible…fuck” 😂😂
that's the actual ending you big doofus
@miguelpalomares3441 no its not. The ending is when they buy a Teddy bear.
That's the ending perfect fucking masterpiece my current favourite Stanley Film ever rn 2001 is objectively better but Eyes Wide Shut is very fun u should watch it ☝️
@@TheoP582Yes, it is. WTF. That's literally the last line and shot. Did you watch the movie?
@@TheoP582 They never buy a teddy bear. And yeah, that's the last line of film.
The Shining contains the most repeated take in film history: the scene in which Wendy and Danny flee to the bathroom, Jack breaks down the door with the axe, and Wendy screams for her life in panic. According to Kubrick, this shot was filmed 127 times, and is still in the Guinness Book of Records .
Long Live the Maestro ☝️
Can anyone tell me the name of the classical piece in the background?!
Waltz no 2 by dimitri sho something
My mom had me @15....she's never forgiven me for it! Made my life a living hell.
I got pregnant @17..she tried to force me to get an abortion..then I wouldn't, she tried to get me to put the baby up for adaptation....we got married 41years ❤ until my husband passed away. 😢
Old Stanley broke Shelly Duvall so bad she did kids shows after
I just watched Paths of Glory Kubrick is beyond compare I mean his movies are so special
It’s funny that Nicole Kidman said that he told her to improvise because I’ve heard that he hates improvisation. Maybe I’m stupid and wrong or maybe he just had a thing for someone that everyone else had a thing for.
Iconic moment
Damn! 10:10 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Kubrick for exposing elite secret party, im religious but i hope people like kubrick will go to heaven after this.
Pollack disses Harvey keitel for quittin da job 😂 once in a lifetime lost
He is/ was a cinematic genius. Best or nothing.
I think, the only movie of Stanley kubrick where all the casts are happy to do retakes😅
I understand how this makes logical sense, but it's also kind of a fundamental misunderstanding about people. Obviously they aren't all cheap because some are thrown out and some are award winning. You'd think a director of human beings would understand something like that.
I want to 00:00 Nicole...
me too.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was different with everyone of them.
Well my opinion on that is if you hire all those professionals and spend all that money, you should be able to nail it in five takes or less.
So Harvey tried 4, 5, 60 more times
The attention to detail fascinated me about this movie. Must have watched it 20x times.
Why does Tom Cruise look like he's possessed by Owen Wilson?
Some scene are not clear no matter how many times you watch the movie.
Yeah and what a great movie they made😅
They say Harvey Keitel was the first choice for Zeigler but he got mad at kubrick and said Kubrick insulted him with so many takes.. but man Sydney made that movie real.. Tom not much of actor but hes believeable and for Sydney and other great performances from Vanessa Shaw, Nicole Kidman, Rade Serbedzija, Todd Feild and great cinematography the film is a master piece..
Wtf is a Hollywood ambassador 🙄
I want to 00:00 Nicole.!!!!!!!!!
Clearly Kubrick’s mentality changed by the time they made this film if this is true
Yes Stanly Kubrick was a genius. But he was also abusive to actress Shelly Duvall in the making of the movie "The Shining". He had her doing a scene over a 100 times. That is abuse. And i don't care if it is all for the sake of art. Loved "The Shining"
I like his movies, but i wouldn't work for him.
One more take.
I’m sorry. I don’t get him🤷🏼♀️
Title: "Beyond the Masks: Eyes Wide Open"
Synopsis: "Beyond the Masks: Eyes Wide Open" is a captivating sequel to the enigmatic and thought-provoking film "Eyes Wide Shut." Picking up where the original movie left off, the sequel delves deeper into the themes of secrecy, desire, and hidden realities.
Plot: Dr. William Harford, portrayed once again by the protagonist from the first film, finds himself haunted by the events that unfolded during his exploration of an underground society of masked sexual rituals. Although he attempted to leave that world behind, he discovers that the journey has only just begun.
In "Beyond the Masks: Eyes Wide Open," Dr. Harford becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the true nature of the secret society he encountered. He becomes determined to understand its origins, purpose, and the influential figures behind it. His relentless pursuit for truth leads him down a labyrinthine path, unraveling layers of deception and manipulation.
As Dr. Harford dives deeper into the hidden depths of this clandestine world, he encounters individuals who have experienced similar encounters and are willing to share their stories. Together, they form an unlikely alliance to expose the society's secrets and protect themselves from its powerful reach.
The sequel explores the psychological toll of Dr. Harford's obsession as he grapples with the blurred lines between reality and illusion. He questions his own sanity and faces personal dangers as he edges closer to the truth.
While the film maintains the mysterious and sensual tone of its predecessor, it introduces new dimensions by incorporating elements of political intrigue, corruption, and the abuse of power. Dr. Harford realizes that the secret society operates not just within the realm of desire and sexual indulgence but also as a clandestine force shaping the world's affairs.
In the climax, Dr. Harford confronts the leaders of the secret society, forcing them to face the consequences of their actions. The film culminates in a shocking revelation that exposes the extent of their influence and the far-reaching consequences for society as a whole.
"Beyond the Masks: Eyes Wide Open" serves as a psychological thriller that challenges the audience to question the nature of power, secrecy, and the hidden motivations that drive individuals and institutions. It explores themes of enlightenment, disillusionment, and the constant struggle to maintain one's integrity in a world of deception.
Note: This is a fictional idea for a sequel and not an actual announcement or confirmation of a film in development.
Stanley said on an interview that actors can’t act, THATS why he does 100 takes!
Why does Nicole sound like she is speaking with a British accent?
Pretty sure she's Australian.
The conspiracy that he was killed and they cut 20 minutes is so dumb, the entire theme of the movie is duality with the party happening at the exact mid point, if there were some secret cut section it would totally ruin that
They killed Kubrick.
FIDELIO.
Check out Girls Club by Marc Rebillet, my man
Or on It's Always Sunny, the password was OOOOORGY.
I dont think Stanley would like what they did to his film
So.....Eyes Wide Shut....is it any good after all that?😃😃😃....
It's amazing
yes.!!!!!!!!
Moon Landing director.
Can somebody fix Tom Cruise’s nostrils already? How has that man never learned how to speak without that terrible nasal sound?
😮
The worst film he created, Tom Cruise made it not a flop
Why the worst?
..Hi..dear!!💕
It didn’t help this film. Utter crap. What a bummer.
They still sucked in the movie
Unfortunately the movie sucked.
Said no intelligent person ever. Only idiots didn't get this film.
Nope, you're just tasteless
But these are professional "pretenders" so WHY do soooo many takes? Kubrick was toooo much
They're actors. Actors are supposed to act.
And yet the film was crap
This movie was nothing but smut👎
good.!!!!!
Yes about a half or full hour is gone ????epstein island now ecz ecz
Overrated. Terrible movie, actors, in this "movie" 🤮
All I really got from this movie was how bad of an actress Nicole Kidman is
This is why Harvey got fired, he’s lazy.. actors are props, they’re not the artist, the director is the artist..
Kubrick was an overrated bully. Harvey was the only smart one in that cast.
Eyes wide shut is a terrible movie.
you just didn't understand al the undertones then. It's a masterpiece of cinema
You just have terrible taste
Everyone including me who watched this always felt a feeling of gap in the movie ur like this is something good thing but u will notice something is wrong what's is it well some important part and clips which includes the gory part were removed after his death that's where the action exist lol and it was removed i sometimes wonder if that's the sign of removing the soul from a body breaking trust of people that watch u it's very ironic for real
Jeffrey Epstein and Eyes Wide Shut Movie!!! (1999)
th-cam.com/video/twWt37Y-UhA/w-d-xo.html
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell featuring from the beggining of the scene till Alice goes to the toilet!!!
Way toooooooo coincidential ain't it!!!
Hollywoods cult
Yes it is indeed morally bankrupt due to it's embracement of GODlessness.
All that for a crappy movie.
Thank you for your post comment i agree. Loved The Shining but i thought Kubrick was very abusive towards Shelley Duvall. I don't care how artsy genius he was what he did was abuse & any talk of ...well he did it for the sake of "art" does not make it right. It's abuse period.
Eyes wide shut was best worst movie I’ve ever seen. Some of scenes in it are just drawn out and so annoying.
Pleaseeeee, ....worthless talk...the movie is made for people... to make money...and NOT for stupid, absurd critics & professionals...
You as an actor prepare for the role...for each take...
The best answer for these characters...is the Renaissance man= Mr. Clinton Eastwood...few takes, ...limited time of making the movie...and ....and....and...all his movies are the best...
You have maniac & unprofessional directors who do 30 or more takes...and in the end...the performance of actors gets worse...
The movie was / is great...Tom was great. Sydney Pollock was great, too....and unfortunately, Nicole Kidman was horrible...
