Stanley Kubrick's 13th - EYES WIDE SHUT - Analysis (part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2017
- Eyes Wide Shut is Stanley Kubrick’s 13th film, which makes EWS the cinematic equivalent of the number 13.
One can approach the number 13 in various ways. One of the ways is to approach the number 13 as being part of a (certain) sequence.
So, here it's about the relationship between the number 13 and the other numbers.
The relationship between the numbers sounds like music.
A video published by "DegenerateTimes" (on november 20th, 2011) also argues that Eyes Wide Shut is about the "number 13". See text in description space of this video: • Eyes Wide Shut = NEURO...
No shot is ever wasted in a Kubrick movie. Every one has a story within the story.
I'm too high man
Bro same
LOL dive into this sober and then re-watch the movie intensely stony baloney ..... wild
@@JRR821 the greatest appeal to this movie is how cozy and dreamlike it feels. Watch it on the herb
@@MiguelGonzalez-vz6qi the part where Nicole is smoking weed is really intense.... probably one of my favorite scenes of all time.... by the end im as speechless as Tom
name stoney bologne 😎
13 is a joint and they smoke a joint together
I really don't think Kubrick, for all his meticulous attention to every frame, went this far. Just coincidence.
he literally shot tom cruise walking thru a door 95 times and you think this is far fetched ?😂
@@Source.trustmebr0 Yes
@@kernowarty 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
There are no coincidences when it comes to numbers
One does not film for 400 days just to have things be a coincidence.
If Kubrick did all this while still thinking about how how characters would look on film and the immense amount of variables that goes into movies without much hidden makes his genios on another level!
Don't forget, each scene probably took 80 takes, which is why the movie took 4 years to complete. Kubrick really was meticulous, which led to an unhealthy lifestyle.
“The heart is a joint, a dynamic joint” 😂 You and your theory are mental.
I'm not going down this hole tonight...
Take a fat rip from the bong before watching this !
Only three minutes in and already I'm blown away by how many subtlety's there are.
"Take Thorazine" has 13 letters.
Great observation. I love this movie and watch it often .
Dude i actually have 12-13-14 tatted on the side of my neck im super high rn and im trippimg the fuck out lol
Dude, you're a genius. You're tapping into the deep, deep substructure of this movie. I hadn't seen such stimulating analyses of EWS in a while. And there are many! What a beautiful beautiful video. The thing with the notes in the song just amazes me. Well, it all amazes me. EDIT: it's curious also how Alice in Wonderland (which this film clearly references, with the looking glass, etc) is all about Alice and "The Queen of Hearts".
Gee! I guess I can stop making videos now. I know who says this so.. thank you for the compliments. It means a lot. "The Queen of Hearts"... thanks so much for adding this. I was completely unaware of that. It surely fastens my presumption that EWS is Kubrick's private message to the heart (or something like that).
Something About The Movies you are 100% correct about yoir last line.
Trouble is, Kubrick wasn't going to use that music. Its what was on his rough cut, but he 100% planned to replace it with something else.
I do believe that that is hearsay, Lucas. The pacing and structure of the film is tied to the music, it is integral to the effect. SK would not have cobbled together even a rough cut w/o having made a deliberate choice.
@@mongolianqwerty123 if kubrick is famous for anuthing changimg his mind is top to tje point the ending of the shining was decided after the movies release...
*EXCELLENT RESEARCH!!!*
You got the subliminal message to the detail!
Brilliant observations. I would never have seen those details.
Very impressive analysis, you have my subscription, sir!
What the heck is this?
There should be a Room 237 Documentary but with Eyes Wide Shut 😂
The Shining better though😁Here's Johnny
I mean, wow. You're definitely on to something with the idea of the heart correlating with the sequence of numbers. Even the progressions in the score align perfectly with the actions of the Harford family. One thing i do find particularly interesting though is that William Harford is a doctor. And there's a scene where he checks the heart of one of his female patients fairly early on through the film. That scene is interwoven with scenes showing Alice spending time with Helena. I wonder if there's any pattern like relevance there. I'll have to go back and watch the movie again for myself. Anyway, great finds!
Ha thanks! I see, that parellel montage is really interesting concerning the score indeed. I remember a documentary (or something) where someone said that Kubrick wanted every musical note used in Paths of Glory to be justified cinematically. So, yeah EWS takes this to another level, I guess. The movie feels like it could evaporate any moment, it's so subtlely connected to the music. Absolutely, William Harford being a doctor is really interesting and makes sense; especially that scene you mentioned, where he checks the heart, while Alice and Helena are at home. It's interesting that Helena always is at home (home is where the heart is) except in the final scene.
Also the repeating theme of Doctors Dr Jacques Kubrick Dr Kimball DR Langley Dr Harford Doc Quilty Danny is Doc Dr Freud Dr Jung Danny Red Heded Dr Visit, Vivian Kubrick and her real son visit the Dr in EWS and of course lets not forget Apollo is also a Medicine Man a Doc and the icing on the cake DR Strangelove. Kubrick is using repetition in all his clue sets. The Doctor is summoned when little Brian gets Crushed by the GIFT HORSE. Love the video.
Love these additions OneEyed Jacks. Thank you.
This is interest sparking video.Very nice.
Ok i c u looked in every frame searching for 12 13 14 and any number that happens to b present u want to find, but u only validate the numbers when u find them but why ignore the rest of numbers all over the place... For u the number of steps r only important when they r a number u want to find the rest of steps characters take that r not in numbers u want to find become uninportant... What about thr number of leaves on tye tree st the ofice? Or thr number of paintings in tje wall? The number of words in the sentences they speak? I am sure if i look hard enough for a number that relates to me im bound to find them in enough places to convince anyone kubrick was hiving me a secret code... Kubrick is above all a visual director who didnt make a movie hoping people who watvhed it ignore whats being shown and count steps and letters and musical notes instead. What u prove is that in randomness one can find any code if only pay atention to what helps his thesis and ignore those that do not. Patterns form by nature since our brains r wired to underdtand shapes we hope to find ignoring those that offer no help... U wasted time looking for what suits u and not approach it objectibly and make a fool of those who think your labor has any meaning beuond what u so simplistically reduced the meaning of this film in such a simple sentence i could get from a fortune coockie Kubrick was more complex than u simplify him by ignoring the real important and complex themes that deserve more credit than simplify every thing to meaning a word a single thought and whatever could have any real meaning u take it away by dismissing what u cant have access to since u r reading things that might have meaning with things that do not and u take it so far to negate chance and coincidence that u loose any credibility by just becoming a caricature of understanding what requires not to understand at all. U over do it enough to become a joke.
Agreed. So called number theorists and the preoccupied mathematical human strategists that today's world spews out of it's various institutions are often so desperate to find critical meaning in their virtually autistic perspective of the world, as not realize how purely subjective their overtly convenient observations are.
Their preconceived ideas only require the confirming bias of cherry picked arithmetic to find their favorite flavors (tropes/trends/assumptions/clues) without interrogation of any other surrounding flavors that fall outside of their preferred filter. They possibly have too little self awareness to realize they are so willful in their cherry picking, but I see very little intellectual sincerity in these types.
This great work and I’m not here yet.
Whether this is reaching or not, and whether all of it was intentional from Kubrick's side, or mere coincidence/subconsciously put there, I find this super fascinating.
The two best analyzers of Eyes Wide Shut I've found are your channel, and Rob Ager/Collative Learning. Have you seen any of Rob's videos? I find them really interesting and well-researched.
Thank you! Oh yes I've seen Rob Ager's EWS videos. I think, for instance, his "the plot thickens" video is really fascinating. The parallels between the article in the film and the real life article(s) are great finds and super interesting idd. He makes you think: what's going on here?!
@@somethingaboutthemovies5116 They are indeed!
You and Rob have extremely good eyes and ears, considering all the details you are both noticing. I could've watched the movie 1000 times, without picking up all those little details and nuances.
This blew my mind 👏
Your missing something in the scene where bill gets pushed against the cars one of the guys is wearing a shirt with the letters AL alphabet 1 & 12 together you have 13 👍 also not long after there's another 77 example 2weeks reffrence in graffiti look in the scene exactly 47:06 - 47:07 the graffiti says beg with a dot above the b&g this is 2&7 2X7 14 b=2 E =5 g=7 , 2+5+7=14 a Little suspicious with the time being 47:07 👍
Actually EWS is Kubrick’s 16th film because he also made 3 documentaries.
Well done
Amazing. Man Kubrick is still The GOAT
At the end of the movie, what happens to the daughter .. (?)
She goes to look at toys...
Liam more like she becomes a toy....for the rich
@@scottv9667 facts
@Irlandczyk The two gentlemen take the daughter, this is shown in the movie
@@scottv9667 "rich" is not the central word to describe those whose toy she becomes.
One of my favorite movies of all-time. I've seen it 30 times. Sometimes 4x in the same week.
Same, although sickening, absolutely my favourite, only if one else had balls like him to make something similar not a revamp but you know
5:54 Looks more like a jelly bean to me. Perhaps Kubrick was a fan of jelly beans and jelly beans are the centrepoint of all of his films. No, no - I digress. Thirteen jelly beans... yeah?
Hi.
Can you do the same analysis on the shining please
Hello. What do you mean exactly with " the same". Thanks.
Ur blowing my mind,,, good vid ,,
genius is the one who deciphers this, not the one who does it with premeditation.

Lol. Okay, pal. But sometimes the curtains are just blue.
This was nice👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😎
If human nature, and therefore nature itself, is ambiguous, then can anything be true or absolute?
Great angle. Man... I don't know. During my vacation I read a great essay by Paul Valéry, which could be appropriate for now. Last line: "I try never to forget that every man is the measure of things."
Something About The Movies So do you believe that man is truly the center of all things? Based on the fact that humanity is aware of nature? Say, if not for humanity, then what purpose is there to the universe? Awareness appears to be paramount. Have you read any Nietzsche or Jung? On consciousness and the self? I have read Jung, but not Nietszche, he seems too complicated for me. 😂
Ahh that made me think man.. I thought that Valéry's last line was echoing idealism, in the Kantian/Schopenhauerian sense. Which implies that man cannot know anything outside the mind (I'm sure there's a better definition). In that way, I believe, man is the measure of things. Interesting you've read Jung... I haven't really read anything of both Jung and Nietzsche to be honest, though I am a bit familiar with some of their basic concepts. Have watched the documentary "Carl Jung - Matter of Heart (1983)", and I was thrilled by it. It really invites you to read his books. I've read Schopenhauer's "The World as Will and Representation" quite recently. I was very glad I read it. In general, I felt very much in tune with this way of approaching reality and also art. Consciousness, awareness and self is something truly basic and is often overlooked or taken for granted. Basically, when it's overlooked it results in materialism; when it's not overlooked it results in idealism. That point also is made clear in "Will and Representation". You know, in genereal, you could have a lot of interesting theories, but do they really get you outside of yourself? I guess we're searching for some kind of mind-escape. Therefore, I think movies are so interesting. Man... I'm not sharp enough right now. I love your questions and I feel privileged to talk with people like you.
The bathroom door does not represent anything but a bathroom door. The painting over Bill's shoulder though, right before he walks through the door? I doubt these numbers have any significance whatsoever except it is highly possible Kubrick "waltzes" us through the opening scenes to a set rhythm. I had noticed the heart shaped chairs, but really they are kidney shaped, haha.
It's interesting you mentioned the kidney shape, as the letter 'a' on Helena's bedroom door looks like a kidney.
@@somethingaboutthemovies5116 What's also interesting is that all the doors in the film are 'door shaped'. I suppose you could say that doors are integral for the characters to walk from one room to another, such as when they walk through doors.
@@onedoorfilms I laughed, but you're a bit of a Nimrod, Nimrod ;) You can't expect to pick up enough about something as seemingly unlikely, and intricately encrypted (if true) as this, from a video this short, and make a determination either way. Effort & persistence brings results and all that.
Speaking more generally, once you've been at this long enough, you start to build a bigger & bigger database of knowledge about specific codes, common types, methods, locations of codes, key information & types of coded information, alternate meanings of certain words, phrases, symbols, numbers, colours and so on. For example almost right off the bat the 12/13 part of 12/13/14 stands out to me as something meaningful or potentially meaningful, here, easier if I explain with a few bullet points:
• 12 disciples & jesus
• 12 months in 1 year
• 12 star signs in 1 year (or 12 signs & the sun)
• 12 tribes of Israel (12 tribes + 1 country)
• 12 sons of Jacob
• 12 knights of the round table
• 12 numbers on a clock face
• 12 olympians in ancient greece
• 12 labours of hercules
i.e. 12+1 or 12/13, depending on how you classify it.
As far as 14 goes, I've got a tab on my Codes spreadsheet for double-barrelled Gs or GGs or GG77 codes (e.g. Gary Gygax, Germaine Greer, Golden Gate, Gary Glitter, Greta Garbo, Garden of Gethsemene, Grunch of Giants, Guardians of the Galaxy, Great Gatsby, Good Game, Get Good, Golden Globes, & on and on). So what? Well G is the 7th letter of the alphabet, ergo GG = 77 = 14. So that's a reference to 14, again right off the bat. Doesn't necerssarily mean much, just demonstrating the difference between a totally uninformed yet certain (contrary) opinion (yours) vs a relatively well informed & somewhat certain (pro) opinion (mine). Here I'll chuck in another tidbit for ya for free: in the _GormenGhast_ series of novels, by Mervyn Peake, the main protagonist is Titus Groan, the 77th Earl of Groan... *_GASP!_* Well, not really...just trying to show you how to build evidence, the boring, methodical way...not saying it's anything, but how would you know either way if you were *_totally uninformed yet certain to the contrary?_*
Anyway that's two breadcrumbs and the m.o. to dig them up & compare them, fill your boots & start informing your a$$ if you want, might see you down a rabbit hole one day if you do, or not; either way, peace my friend ;)
PS: Seriously once more, I've got a funny feeling there's another, darker meaning to the word _heart,_ I shoulda looked into it by now but haven't. Discovering the hidden meaning of _"tears"_ was enough to put me off decoding any more of that family of codewords (I've got a few more) - there's some sickos out there :( *_Tears_* www.kabbalah.info/eng/content/view/frame/86730?/eng/content/view/full/86730&main

15 man. You forgot the 15..
what's with the 15?
It seems that the music (probably not the choice of pieces themselves, but at least their placing against the pictures) was taken care of AFTER Kubrick's death: that would ruin most of your claims on that video I'm afraid - unless his team would have carried on with his initial intentions assuming he gave clear instructions on what he wanted (something rather unlikely, considering the fact - described below along with the music anecdote - that key scenes were removed from the final cut (source: illum1nat1i.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/the-missing-cut-scene-from-eyes-wide-shut/)

the hungerian womaniser mentions Ovid and Oscar wilde- both of whom gave in to / indulged in lust and paid and huge price for it in the end.
did he talk about Oscar Wilde in the movie ? nice inside info. whatt you say is pretty tuned in with the, or one of the, theme_s_ of the movie.
@@somethingaboutthemovies5116 he quotes wilde- the 'marriage requires deception etc' line is wilde.
@@somethingaboutthemovies5116 also- the 'both parties' line has a brillaint double meaning- there are 2 parties in the film- 1 mask on, 1 mask off, both infested to the hilt with deception.
@@somethingaboutthemovies5116 at the risk of getting into some 'dubious' ground here- i do wonder whether kubrick deliberately used the rainbow as a dig at the rainbow crowd, know what i mean? that is the level he operates on, innit.

This is by far the dumbest and most far fetched interpretation of this film I've ever heard. Reaching much?
This is ridiculous go get some sleep dude
A very poor way of analysing a movie.
