Eyes Wide Shut is a curious title for this film, for what it suggests is that information is being processed, while simultaneously the conscious mind is deep asleep, totally unaware, subliminally filing this information into the subconscious where it can be used later by the "handlers" of these mind controlled victims. This is similar to what Conspiratologist Michael Anthony Hoffman II calls the "Revelation of the Method" and "The Making Manifest Of All That Is Hidden", which is the subtle processing of humankind using these insidious tools of trance-formation, whether done individually or on a wide-scale level through television, mass media, and the movies. It is for this reason--some have hinted--that Kubrick met his fate just prior to the completion of Eyes Wide Shut: for ostensibly spilling the beans of what goes on behind the scenes in regards to secret societies and intelligence agencies who use mind control to program the masses. In this context, Kubrick may have been playing a part in ushering in the New World Order of The Illuminati, but to his own misfortune revealed "too much, too soon", thus a possible reason for his sudden passing. In Hoffman's Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, he states that "...the Revelation of the Method has as its chief component, a clown-like, grinning mockery of the victim(s) as a show of power and macabre arrogance. When this is performed in a veiled manner accompanied by certain occult sign and symbolical words and elicits no meaningful response of opposition or resistance from the target(s), it is one of the most efficacious techniques of psychological warfare and mind-rape..." The Illuminati is obsessed with numerical patterns and hidden secrets. It's probably no coincidence that Kubrick died 666 days before January 1, 2001 (the day he wished to live to see). This film in my opinion is an epic masterpiece. Truly haunting.
Stanley Mother-F***ing Kubrick
If Wes Anderson is my delightfully delicious Brie, and Aronofsky is my French Bread , then Kubrick is the vin rouge that sits perfectly on the top of my oh-so-cultured snack-a-lacka-black.
What makes Kubrick's films so good? Hmm, well let's see...Bags of intellifence, original storylines and mesmerising direction. How's that answer your question?
Anyway, I know this is KMC, but are there any other Kubrick fans out there? If so, what are your favorites?
For me, you can't beat 'Dr.Strangelove', 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Full Metal Jacket' and 'Eyes Wide Shut'...4 very different movies, but all so, so, so brilliant. In fact, as I think about it, it is incredibly difficult to choose favorites when you consider the quality of his work.
Oh, look! There's a poll!
Why did my Kubrick thread get merged!?!?! Mine had a poll! A poll, god-damn it! What does this have? Deano saying that Kubrick was killed by the illuminati!
shaber, why wish about seeing his other movies? Just go and watch them...
I think Eyes Wide Shut is one of his most beautiful, dreamy films. It's such a peculiar movie and that central scene in the mansion is hypnotic. I saw in it a movie theatre back when it came out and I was stunned on exit. The color, the 'flow', the intrigue, the mystery, the the the...It's an amazing film.
