Name all the hidden symbolism in this movie

Nicole Kidman's Eye of Horus right there

Give up your, inquiries which are completely useless, and consider these, words a, second warning.
We hope, for your own good, that this, will be, sufficient.

This movie has ZERO mainstream appeal. Why did it get made?

its a real hit piece on secret societies

By showing them doing a cringe burlesque sex party? Nothing dangerous ever happens to anyone. This is the most boring, gay "insight" into secret societies ever made. You're left with nothing but innuendoes.

This movie has no mainstream appeal

Other than a movie with the two biggest A list movie stars of its time and one of the most beloved directors of all time about a surface level psychological thriller with potential le spooky underlayers, but I'm the delusional one. Okay.

Epstein and Maxwell make an appearance, and it's obvious because there's a continuity error with their short cameo spliced in

I watched it 8-10 years ago, I remember the main conclusion I got in that moment was that the subtextual focus was the femenine orgasm and it's historic-politic consequences. I don´t have strong arguments to defend it.

conveniently leaves out a rebuttal for the second post in a row

it has two big stars in a movie normies couldnt possibly hope to understand! thats why its a draw!

Movie was literally a box office failure and has no pop culture clout except among the truth community. I WONDER WHY.

Your thesis of “these are all just coincidences” is very unscientific. Occam’s razor says i’m right.

eyes wide shut threads always attract shills at lightning speed, you amerimutt good goys don't get paid enough

I wonder why mainstream media doesn’t delve into secret societies? Would it have anything to do with the fact that they’re _secret_ ?

When Bill is in Domino's apartment, a book with the title "Introducing Sociology" is clearly visible in the foreground. Bill is already a player in society, and he will involve himself with another, closely related society. This title can also be taken to refer to sexual disease (Domino has HIV), and STDs were historically referred to as "social diseases", where sex is the most "social" act which exists. You are of course interacting with another person, and after a time, everyone else knows that you two are a couple.

Apart from the standard conspiracy theory stuff, the film also contains several callbacks to Kubrick's earlier films, possibly all of them. The big headboard on the rich dead guy's bed and the period furniture are clearly like 2001. Bill's navigation of a tight corridor as he enters the jazz club is just like when Sterling Hayden enters the chess club in The Killing. Etc. The whole thing of wearing masks while engaged in depravitity in some house out in the woods at night is directly like Clockwork Orange, and so on.

Also, more generally, there are like 10-11 or so female characters who have meaningful presence in the film. Several of them sort of look like each other, we're meant to get them confused. The daughter is a redhead like Domino, the older middle aged lady at the apartment is an old crone version of Nicole Kidman, same sort of hair, etc. At the orgy, the circle is composed of (IIRC) eleven women. Bill and the viewer imagine that several or all of the women and girls in his life might be present, without his knowledge, and the film gives us good reason to suspect this.

On the subject of women in the film, there's also a slight underclass in two bit parts. The babysitter and the maid at the rich guy's apartment are both brown/latina-ish, asian/brunettes, "Roz" and "Rosa" (interchangeable names). They are just part of the furniture, the help, human furniture. An explicit instance of forniphilia is depicted later, as one of the butler guys acts as a sort of table while a woman on top of him is getting fucked by another man. As Bill makes his way into the space, people are writhing and gyrating on top of a table (IIRC), solidifying this connection between people and furniture.

In the 18th and 19th century, upper class women and Ladies, once married or connected to a given estate, were spoken of as being "installed" at an estate, as if they were pieces of furniture or other household fixtures. This notion certainly applies to Lady Lyndon in Barry Lyndon, who is frequently and tortorously sitting still.

what scene?

Bookmarking this thread for later. This is my fiancée's favourite film and I want to impress her.

don't marry that whore, you'll regret it goy.

It's possible that you're being sarcastic with the greentext, but that direct comparision speaks for itself. Button pattern is the same, doesn't matter exact shape of headboard, they both have clearly similar general look and size.

Something else very important about the Nathanson apartment is that it's a HALFWAY point between Bill's bright, white, "normal" apartment and the cavernous, stone interiors of Somerton. We're still in a fancy and very expensive apartment with many rooms, the general architecture is like Bill's apartment (single floor, many rooms and a few halls, several floors up), but the Nathanson apartment is much darker and looks like a castle/mausoleum in the opening hallway shots, like Somerton. There are clear themes of both death and sex, as the old hag makes a desperate pass at Bill, and the main fact of the Nathanson body. Bill is getting into his wild and crazy night and he's just going to keep wandering and keep going. Anything to be away from wifey just now.

Another major theme is the invitation. Whether you are invited, or not. Bill and Alice are invited to a fancy party. Since Bill has a skill and is useful, he is further invited into the inner sanctum (creepy green bathroom where sordid stuff happens involving a naked lady, like the Shining, Full Metal Jacket also has a creepy green latrine/head where bad stuff happens) to help clean up the jew's mess. As long as Bill is welcomed and invited, there's no problem.

The problems start when Bill begins inviting himself into spaces where he wasn't wanted. Somerton, the costume shop, etc. Then he has a little phase of detective work where he waves his medical ID around like he's some cop, continuing to go where he isn't really wanted. It comes to nothing.

Man rich connected people are a bunch of degenerate perverts aren't they?

There, done.

The candle thing above his head in the hallway is like Jack in the hallway before encountering Lloyd. And of course the big red painting contrasts with the green paint in the rest of it. Good effort on the file name.

I see a connection between the boyfriend being a "mathematician" and Alice's little math lesson to the daughter, in which she teaches her daughter to be a whore: "okay sweetheart, which boy has more money?" IIRC the mathematician is mentioned as being connected to Michigan, or they were to move to Michigan (the coastal elite heiress hate hate hates this), so Kubrick may have made a slight and incidental reference to the Unabomber, who completed his doctoral work at Michigan.

what happens to the prostitute after she saves bills life does anyone know?

hooker has aids

aids is a faggot disease

What did kubrick mean by this, cruise is faggot
