The performances of Kubrick's actors is unparalleled. It's realism, surrealism, and theatre combined. Jack Nicholson put it best, "He's looking for the picture within the picture."
I think we all get that feeling from this film and The Shining because of the tension and the atmosphere. Just the idea of a protagonist being influenced by malevolent forces.
Flawless acting by Tom and both women in this scene. There's just the right amount of polite charm and even a little fear coming from Bill. And the women are both incredibly alluring and predatory, and presented in a very natural way. Kudos to Kubrick for directing this scene.
Watch for the doubling in the film: "where exactly are we going, exactly?" There are many places in the film where characters say something twice or a character repeats what another character states. Also, when Dr. Bill reads the newspaper article of the death of Amanda Curren in the cafe, there are three sentences (or phrases) that are mistakenly repeated in the text.
@@newbeginning3568 Well there's a lot of theories. If you notice, there's a large quantity of rainbow coloured lights in almost every scene of this movie. Let's call these places "the rainbow". Now, the only scenes without these decorations are Zeigler's bathroom, where the prostitute overdoses, and the masked ball itself. If you think about it, where the rainbow ends could refer to the places in society that aren't meant for uninitiated people like Bill. Where the rainbow ends refers to the forbidden places, the places only the higher echelons of society has access. He gets his first glimpse of this when he saved Mandy from the overdose in the bathroom. So where the rainbow ends could refer to the point in which our illusions of ethical and moral life end, and where the grim reality of life begins. In other words, the real happenings that go on "under the rainbow". This notion is also mirrored when we see the costume store is called rainbow, and the store below is called "under the rainbow" which is where we see the trafficking of a young girl. A note to add, rainbows are symbolic of happiness, but I feel that they are used here to denote a delusional reality, or an illusion of happiness. We know that society is not "all rainbows and sunshine" but in this case, the elite wear their masks both figuratively and literally in order to showcase themselves in a certain way. That's why Cruise turns off the Christmas tree lights towards the end of the film, his illusion has been shattered and he has been awakened to the true nature of the elite underbelly that he happily rubbed shoulders with before. Sorry for rambling, I just love this movie!
@@ScoiataeI It's also interesting that the costume store where Bill buys the mask is called "Rainbow Fashions." If we accept that Dr. Bill's odyssey is partly in his head - the new york streets, the character, and the orgy at the mansion all seem mildly surreal - a dreamscape; then the symbolism of the rainbow and the name itself showing up have a Fraudian connotation. It seems to do with with Bill's subconscious. You mentioned the rainbow may symbolize danger...There you go; it also symbolizes Bill's temptations..."Where the rainbow ends" it's all very metaphorical, like in a dream. It leads to danger, physically, mentally and to the end of his marriage. If anything, it's an effective stylistic tool to keep the plot in a riddle. It's based on an Arthur Schnitzler novel. Schnitzler was a great admirer of Freud and I guess they stuck close to the source material.
@@deckofcards87 Very good points. The dreamy feeling of the entire movie does serve to confirm that the journey Bill undertakes is a very psychological one. The whole Wizard of Oz rainbow connotations is interesting as well, as it is connected with MK Ultra and mind control. If you notice as well there's subtle signs such as the lens flare whenever Bill is experiencing sexual tension of any kind. It occurs when he's with Domino, and it's always situated below the waist! When he gets called "Fag" by the frat boys it happens again. I think the tension there wasn't necessarily sexual but by insulting him, he was emasculated and his sexuality was attacked. I don't think the lens flare was unintentional, knowing Kubrick. What do you think?
The costume store is called Rainbow, where does this store "leads bill to"? To the depraved masked elite party. When the girls are saying "where the rainbow ends" they're refering to the masked party, it may be an indication that said girls or others members of the initial normal party where also part of the masked party.
@@CREATETUBE_ think of the time period too when the movie came out, the perception was anything Involving children was fairy tales and hoaxes from the old satanic panic scare of the 80s involving preschools, and prostitution was just something call girls or street walkers do. Society couldn’t imagine something like a Jeffrey Epstein involving actual cults, temples and billionaire rapists, high class people don’t do that! There was still a bit of naivety among the populace.
I think this suggests that Somerton were grooming Bill to join them, they keep getting invited to parties that they don't know anyone at, which coincidentally leads to Bill meeting what is theorized as the red-cloaked man, where he is asked if he can keep a secret, the rainbow shop owner is potentially an agent for that child that's probably not even her father, and used the incident to then gauge Bill's response to child prostitution, it's also obvious to the two individuals in the balcony at Somerton that they knew he didn't belong because he came in late, but despite this, no one else looked at him strangely as if they were expecting him. Then they pull the staged scare and when Bill showed interest the following day they offered him to trade in his daughter for connections and power.
@@reallyhappenings5597 The scene with Zigler in the pool table room, where he tries to tell Bill HIS version of the 'truth', regarding what he has SEEN and what happened to Mandy, that was him essentially grooming Bill. Grooming isn't 'exclusive' to children, but can be done to adults as well. Bill and his family are unfortunately victims of that.
i believe that 'where the rainbow ends' refers to falling for temptation and thus sexual intercourse. the film itself seems to be about temptation and rainbows are colourful and enticing, as is the prospect of infidelity with beautiful affluent women. this film was adapted from the novel 'dream story' and i think that the temptations throughout this film are merely dr. bill's misinterpretation of events which are fuelled by his subconscious sexual desires to cheat on his wife, making the events of, and leading up to, 'the party' nothing more than a dream-state. the anger he feels towards his wife when she tells him her fantasies is down to the fact that he refuses to accept his own, which leads him to where the rainbow ends. which we find out ends in a fruitless venture and a man left grovelling in tears at the guilt of his own thoughts.
Those two woman (particularly the one named, Nuala Windsor who is one Tom Cruise's right arm) are flirting harder than I've ever seen any woman flirt in real life! Especially when Ms. Windsor spells her name out for him, which takes place just before this clip. This scene took me a bit out of the film as in my opinion, the two ladies here are absolutely KNAWING on the scenery here! And the British one's flirtatious look at exactly 0:04 ? They're a bit over-the-top with their flirtation but I suppose their performances are EXACTLY what Mr. Kubrick was looking for.
Helen Hunt should have played the costume shop owner. She looks just like Leelee Sobieski and when the Asian gentleman are leaving it could be implied she had joined in the fun
Dr. Strangelove! even though it's satire of a horrific political reality, it does away with that Kubrick skin-crawling surreality by bringing all the subtext right to the surface
Good question. I watched 'The Shining' when I was a student at University in the early 1980s and it scared me sh*tless - especially the chase scene in the maze at the end of the film which ends with Jack Nicholson being frozen in ice !
EWS remains "controversial" and that is great. Controversial because Kubrick died before he could tinker with the final cut; controversial because it's supposed to be X but is actually Y, etc. I loved this film when it was first released, but the proof of the pudding was repeated viewings, which more than 20 years on I am always up for (no male puns intended).
It's a shame Tom Cruise's character Bill didn't get off with the two very attractive models in the opening scene from this clip ! He probably felt like kicking the messenger in the b*lls for cramping his style ! On a more serious note - the film examines themes of fidelity, trust, jealousy and sexual desire within a marriage - and the likely fallout from such if these are in any way compromised. I remember reading a revue of this film at the time - and it suggested that it gave a good insight into Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage - and why possibly they eventually divorced.
CHILDREN ARE SLEEPING AND THEIR MOMMY IS DOING HER NIGHT DISCOVERY.. AND LADIES, I HAVE LOT OF FREE TIME.. AND KEISHA, THEIR IS NOTHING OUT THERE, THAT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN OR DONE BEFORE ALREADY.. AND LADIES, WHAT WERE YOU SHOWING ME.. YOUR RAINBOW.. AND KEISHA, COME HOME, HOME TO ME BABY.. 💋💋
This film has so many layers
It's Kubrick.
The performances of Kubrick's actors is unparalleled. It's realism, surrealism, and theatre combined.
Jack Nicholson put it best, "He's looking for the picture within the picture."
The scene with the two girls gives me Shining vibes.
The whole movie has a Shining vibe. I was waiting for Jack to show up.
That's because the music in the background is very similar to the party music Jack hears in the Hotel.
I think we all get that feeling from this film and The Shining because of the tension and the atmosphere. Just the idea of a protagonist being influenced by malevolent forces.

the rainbow's end is when you realise that your curiosity and corruption has led you down a one way street.
That's terrifying. How did you learn that? I'd love to hear.
Best scene ever

Models ask Bill the go “where the rainbow ends”, they probably refer to going “where the elite gathers and performs rituals!!!”

Despite this film being hacked to pieces after Kubrick passed away I still love the ending because it was indeed a happy ending.
It was not a happy ending 2 old guys which were at the parties take her daughter away at the toy store

CORONA'S RAINBOW😉
I understand
B e of good cheer and or be in prayer that your understanding is comforting this Christmas. Understanding is not easy.
There is also a lens flare somewhere in the film and the rainbow of which ends in the genital area.
I’ve just finished watching it and realised that too. I’m still trying to make sense of wtf I just watched 😭
Does anyone know who the actresses are in this scene? IMDB lists the blonde as Leslie Lowe(maybe) and The brunette is listed as a man.
the Blonde: Louise J. Taylor
the Brunette: Stewart Thorndike
Stewart is her middle name, but she uses it for her acting career. Her first name is Meg, I think. Talented writer and director these days.
