60 of 245 · most liked firstTurns out EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) is a true story. Not idle speculation or merely Kubrickian paranoia. That movie is about the catastrophic damage that happens when one merely 'brushes up against' the powerful. It's a terrible and ugly truth and we must face it collectively and courageously.

positive · AI labelView post →I rewatched Eyes Wide Shut. Still a brilliant looking movie but found the theme hadn’t aged well. The scandalous orgy feels so harmless and the secret society rituals are just ridiculous. A film that only makes sense in a society that’s deeply afraid of sex

neutral · AI labelView post →Eyes Wide Shut is such a hypnotic little movie. I love its dreamy movie set version of Christmas in New York, eerie but very cozy
positive · AI labelView post →I saw Eyes Wide Shut when I was a teen and just assumed I would look like Nicole Kidman in that movie when I was a sophisticated adult, and let me tell you: I am still trying.

Jake is quite a serious cat, but let his guard down for this candid snap. Namaste!

positive · AI labelView post →Cats Joe and Jake always add value to my film reviews; yesterday, we saw Jake enjoying Eyes Wide Shut, and Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle had a similar impact on Joe, who was positively writhing around in delight. Note the single fang, always a sign of a happy cat.

neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, Stanley Kubrick's 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut explicitly depicts a secret, shadowy cabal of incredibly wealthy and influential elites who operate outside conventional laws.

positive · AI labelView post →Eyes Wide Shut is a movie that makes more sense every day. The bizarre opaque world of the super wealthy, the almost surreal nature of their world leaking into ours, how they treat human lives as a commodity.

Cumming said Kubrick didn't know he was Scottish when he walked in with his real accent he was like FUCK I NEED AN AMERICAN but killed it anyway and got it. Good call Stanley

According to some conspiracy theories, Kubrick was alluding to Epstein’s, uh, organization and the movie is a toned-down allusion to it. He suddenly died four days after screening it to Warner Brothers executives.
