Eyes wide shut, his eyes were open wide to a dark reality and now he has to shut them again as hes bascially being advised from his wife to do so. At the same time he has to suffer the consequence of his daughter being taken away by the secret society.
This film is the best type of horror in a sense that it's so grounded in reality and all the horrifying shit in just this last scene are all happening in the background and hidden in subtext in the dialogue and when you know what it means this film is absolutely terrifying
Kubrick knew it would come to the light. Lord only knows what he saw during his career. One unsettling thought that’s sat with me since accepting the meaning of this film is I pray Kubrick didn’t make this film to try & clean his own conscience toward his last days. R.I.P the 🐐
@@re_tomori549 well, most most probably, his wife is also (spoiler coming through) from the sect of ma...ons and has sexuality with many other men but at the same time is loyal to her husband.
Please notice the BACKGROUND, which Kubrick also directs..... -Two old well dressed men are discussing a teddy bear. then -The Hartford's girl child walks toward the men, looks back one last time, to be sure she is doing the correct thing, and walks further toward the old men. -Mommy and Daddy do not even know where she has gone. -Daughter is simply one more female captured or groomed and used by the wealthy elite.
This ending scene is a mini ritual. The red toy at 0:07 is called "magic circle" and there is the guy in red spreading the bubbles to the children, just like the high preast in red clock spreading the incense inside the magic circle on the ritual. Then there is the sacrifice, the parents tap the children as she goes away and they don't even look back for her. And at the end, they close the ritual with sex, (sikbolized as she says the F word) just like the mansion ritual that ends with orgy. If you can get more clues like that, please comment bellow
The little girl is the price to pay when the father (Cruise) has seen too much inside of the lodge. The oldmen that are taking her away are the oldmen attending Ziegler's party at the beginning of the film.
She looks at her dad twice as if to say, "are you gonna do something to prevent them from taking me?" He chooses the witch. He should have chosen a divorce and took his daughter and led her out of the store and raised her to trust in the Lord of Hosts.
At the party in the first act. Alice ask Bill if he’s knows anyone here(at the party). “Not a soul.” Then she seems relived...guess we know why now. Look who takes her daughter..
If you are referring to Scientology (which isn't a mind controlling cult) then you are mistaken, as Tom Cruise was already a part of Scientology at that time.
@@jaychun102 was about to say the exact same thing which gets me thinking if any of this made him think differently about Scientology but then again he is an actor and one of the first things you learn is that movies are fiction and therefore your roles are separated from your personal life
I used to think that this film had a happy ending; the couple were able to return to their happy marriage after all of the infidelity and lies they had kept secret, but now looking at this theory of their daughter being kidnapped by the cult, i have come to change my mind.
Keep your theory because really the others don't matter. Theories, ideas, imaginations are really empty if they are out of the film. That's why kubrick never explained his pieces, because he wants you to feel what you know and see at this moment. It doesn't matter the background or what could happen next... if it's not there for you then it is nowhere. Hug what you feel watching it, that's all.
I thought it was them accepting that they now (and temporarily) are aware of their lack of control. Bill was cocky towards his friend the pianist, because he assumed he was at the "top". Now he knows he is just another pleb. He also believed he was completely secure with his wife who he viewed as an object of his, incapable of deceit. I didn't take it as happy, but bittersweet? We should try to recognise what we have, and appreciate that, and not pull at the threads. Choosing complacency.
@@neszero Did you notice the two old men at the end of the Isle? One of the men was the same man Nicole danced with in the party, and who was a part of the mask cult. Video quality is bad here, but it's clear as day on bluray it's him. They had to give up their child to the cult as payment.
The two have become so engrossed by the end with this thing Sex that they miss what's right in front of them, namely their daughter, who for a good three minutes wanders a very crowded store alone. The daughter, waving the barbie doll to her apathetic mom, is symbolic of this. She is growing into the same trap as her parents.
The daughter was holding the barbie with wings and the daughter at the beginning of the movie was actually wearing wings. Nicole did not allow her daughter to take the teddy bear and said "wait and see" then the daughter picked the barbie. She then allowed her daughter to follow the 2 strange men...
I'm pretty sure in this dialog there's a Kubrick's self quote. Bill says "Forever", Alice replies "Forever" and the doctor again says "Forever". There's something quite similar in Shining, in the scene where the little twins in the long hallway of the Overlook say to Danny "Come and play with us, Danny. Forever… and ever… and ever"...
The two guys in the background here 1:32 were actually in the movie at the start, part of the secret society. The daughter soon disappears, appearing to follow the two men. Not only were Bill and Alice being followed, but their daughter was taken because they were too busy being paranoid. A last second irony. Eyes Wide Shut is an absolute masterpiece, subtle and exposing.
@GrimReefer the store is full of adults, they're not the only two men in the whole store. If they were then maybe youd be onto something but its full of adults doing Christmas shopping. Also the unsupervised bit is clearly just to make the scene flow better, its purely filmmaking. What works better as the ending the parents talking to each other uninterrupted or having the dialogue constantly broken by a child.
Yes soon as she sees them she sighed he asks if she’s sure knowing really what’s going to happen Damn pimping your own daughter out I wonder what was on the cut 21 minutes
The daughter even tries to remain innocent as she asked her mom for the baby carriage. Perhaps she is representing the desire to live a normal life when she asked for the first gift. Her mom replies, “it’s oldFashioned” .... there are layers on layers in this film
amazing analysis, wow, yes Kubrick's messages are just so deep, I just wish hed described more of them, or did he want us to use our own brains to discover them? Genius.
gypsykatcher30 The daughter said to her mum about the baby carriage “I could put Sabrina in this” only for Alice to tell her it’s old fashioned,just like the “Sabrina” doll(that obviously represents the daughter)Kubrick shows in the lap of the Bear(symbol for pedo),look at the Bear to the left of the parents at 1:09,Kubrick then cuts to the daughter showing the fairy princess(the ending the daughter wishes for,just for Kubrick to show the sick ending in a single frame at 1:19 as he cuts back to the parents,where the daughter doll sits right in the bears lap
@@socillizt4life That really is the proof. The doll moves out of her box and into the lap of the bear! No way Kubrick would miss this, IMDB says he did something like 32 cuts of the scene with the pool table, so he wouldn't let someone accidently move the bear.
Willy Young The doll in the bears lap is actually the daughters “Sabrina” doll that she mentions at the baby carriage.Take note of what is sitting right above the baby carriage while the daughter talks about her “old fashioned” Sabrina doll,not just a bear but the EXACT SAME BEAR YOU SEE WITH HER SABRINA DOLL seconds later,after the cut to the daughter with the boxed fairy princess doll,straight after the couple ask themselves “what should we do now?” is the hope the child has for a fairytale ending,juxtaposed to the REAL ending represented by the bear & doll.This is clearly Kubrick time stamping the exact moment the mother commits fully to the answer to the question “what should we do now?”,this is the point that the mother decides that she is going through with her choice of giving the daughter as a sacrifice,the fairy princess represents the choice the mother still held at that point to change her mind & turn for the malls exit with her daughter in tow but that was only a fairytale as Kubrick CLEARLY shows in this final sequence.Kubrick was beyond obsessive about EVERY DETAIL in EVERY frame of all his films,he has used background details & symbolism throughout his career,the chances of this being a mistake when the entire sequence builds up to this point is insanity.The VERY SAME bear sits above the toy carriage in a stalker like way as the daughter admires it & talks about her Sabrina doll RIGHT INFRONT OF THE VERY BEAR THAT SITS WITH THE SABRINA DOLL IN LAP SECONDS LATER ,the daughter then picks the bear up & asks her mum for it,the mother reply’s “you’ll just have to wait & see!”.The entire ending sequence plays out seamlessly in background details,this is master storytelling & FAR from continuity mistakes in the editing process.
@@gypsykatcher30 interpretation is always better when it comes to great art in my opinion. It also reflects the minds of those viewing. Good/Bad, it’s all the same. Any conclusion that can be made could be the right answer.
@@mummyjohn their child is going away with 2 men, it's very slightly implied that theyre paying the price of him attending that party and inquiring afterwards with their child so now alice wants to fuck so they can have a child again.
Notice how Alice tells Helena that putting the baby in the stroller is “old fashioned”. Is that a hint to suggest that the new way of raising kids is by the men who take the daughter away? Also notice that the barbie doll shown has a very similar costume as the one worn by their daughter at the start of the movie. Again maybe another subtle way of suggesting that like the doll, Helena is also for sale.
The music changes when Bill and Alice turn to the final corridor where they would presumably lose their daughter. They have been tailed by at least four guys one of them even passing Bill from behind and joining the other members of the squad at the end of the final scene corridor. The daughter looks back twice searching for her father's supervision. Here is an interesting detail. Why would Helena feel the need to turn back to look only at her father? Why would she not just keep walking freely like she had been up until that very moment?. Did Alice secretly give Helena any indication to follow those two men beforehand?. Is the daughter following some previous indication that involves surrendering her to the cult?.
1:09 dude picks up smaller bear for half a second, then walks eerily more into frame right behind Bill & Alice. Cut to frame when Kubrick changes the POV to behind them instead of in front, see the old men placing a smaller brown bear in a spot amongst black bears, sticking out of the shelf as if to plant it. Parents turn to look at them almost as if saying goodbye, even rubbing her head as if to comfort her, yet Alice seems to have little feeling at all. After they frame the old men, as the little girl looks back at Alice & Bill, the same same man at 1:09 walks strangely right by/behind Alice... Also same tiger from Domino’s house on the rack where the daughter hugged the bear & also to the right of Alice
notice how youtube has taken down any actual theories of the true meaning behind this encrypted movie. I can’t find any videos that expose what truly happens to the daughter at the end. RIP Stanley
You don't need to look for videos. Read the novel it's based on : "Dream Story". It's all there, in fact Kubrick sticks VERY closely to it. Nothing happens to the daughter, she's there and laughing in the last sentence of the book. Why tf would Kubrick mess around with the ending of a book he obviously respected?
You never realize how much Kubrick used colours for representation. Red Cloak is in a red circle, surrounded by people in blue and black robes. Ziegler, a guest at the party who like all others wishes to climb the ladder adorns his house in red- his pool table, his wife, his bathroom couch and painting, the pictures on his walls of Renaissance figures all wearing red. Bill has been associated with blue for most of the movie, in his outfits, to the lighting at Ziegeler’s office, on the streets and when entering his bedroom. Here we see that after telling Alice and realizing she was aware, his blue jacket suddenly has a red vest under it. The entire first few seconds of this scene is all red backdrop and people in blue coats. Then a child in a red dress. Then as another poster pointed out the significance of bears in Kubricks films; in the shining Danny uses the bear to talk about sexual assault. At 1:20 there’s a bear that is slightly darker than the others that was seen above the baby carriage earlier and is now beside Alice. It has a red bow around its neck where the ones around it have no ribbons (the blue bear with a white one above beside another bear with what looks like maybe a red ribbon?) and suddenly a blue doll with blonde hair is placed in its lap. Their daughter is also wearing all blue. I think this is supposed to show us that Bill was on the cusp of the elites without knowing their price, and after violating the rules twice he now has to give up his daughter. It’s all been cut from the film clearly, infamously, but the men that their daughter follows are in the movie previously. Two men guard the bathroom where the model is passed out, two men take her away when she sacrifices herself for Bill, two men take away Nightingale and now two men take away their child. and like others have said, Alice after telling Bill they should be thankful for their honesty that has made them so miserable and dejecting his assurance of “forever” states it’s imperative they have to now go home and bang. To have another child.
This is all very interesting. I do believe that Ziegler is already at the top - he is Red Cloak. There are clues that are covered in several videos - the main one being how he moves the pool ball on his pool table when he is speaking with Bill, it is very reminiscent of how the Red Cloak moved the incense and his staff.
@@Ethereal_Ghost I’ve also thought perhaps the model with her first OD is to draw Bill into the world; Ziegler seeing if he could trust him to keep the secret of finding another woman with him, passed out from drugs and help him on the downlow. Once realizing it’s not Bill’s scene it’s the same woman who now sacrifices herself to get him out of this world. Also not sure if it’s a coincidence or not, but in Moulin Rouge a film starring Nicole Kidman around the same time as EWS, the “owner” of the prostitutes is named Ziegler aswell, and he wears a red jacket throughout all of the film.
@yitzhak shekkelsteingoldmanberg huh I never thought of it that way but it’s entirely possible. I personally always saw her shrugging off the “forever” comment as, in this one night their entire marriage has been brought to light that they both crave more and are lacking a certain intimacy and excitement. Alice with the dreams/sailor (IIRC?) and Bill with chasing the entire party and being intrigued by the debauchery he witnessed, even going to a prostitute and although not partaking stayed longer than most devoted married men would. I think it’s supposed to capture that Ziegler and his wife are for all intensive purposes married and together, but before we’re even taken to the party (that it’s hinted Ziegler’s wife is at) he’s already shown to be having an affair with the model. I kinda read those last lines as “we’re completely bare with eachother now, we’ve stepped into a world we both are curious about but it’s dangerous and a fine line. We have to keep up appearances, maintain our status and it’s safer to have one person you trust with you, but there’s no turning back from this world or from this damage in our marriage” but she insists on having another child immediately because now that they’re in this world, unfortunately there’s only one currency they will accept if you cross them. Them making love to have a child is more about self preservation and maintaining the notion that they are not childless to the outside world. It was half “we need insurance incase we step out of line again” and “everyone knows we have a child, so we have to go make another one” Almost as if their daughter can be so easily replaced. It’s actually a very sickening ending when you step back and look at it. There’s a few things in this world I would give anything for, and to see the uncut footage of this movie before the studios got their hands on it is one of them.
@@ignacioclerici5341 Because they were played by different actors. I don't see any reason to believe Ziegler would talk in a phony voice in the ritual. Maybe if we had been told he was an actor. We don't know what he does for a living.
Let me explain the "fuck" ending too. The whole movie, Bill is build up - desperate for sex, he comes close on lots of occasions but never actually has sex. Despite being surrounded by it. Bill leaves Alice and goes looking for sex, that's why he goes to the party etc, but he just gets built up and build up. Never getting sex. The movie's climax is ironically Bill finding sex from the place that he originally left to look for it, it's a climax in both terms of the word. Kubrick = Genius.
dsd mugley nope , he snuck into a party he shouldn't have , if he never did that he'd never know zielger was there , it's about powerful people ,there private parties , and the power to kill if necessary
No offence but you just noticed a facade that Kubrick used as a gloss for the much deeper & darker & universal problem of the elite ruling classes(think Jeffrey Epstein)& the straight up perverted shit they indulge in! Plz take close note of THAT VERY BEAR,just above the baby carriage in a stalker type position as the daughter mentions of her “SABRINA” doll at 0:20.Then notice at 1:00 as Bill ask his wife “what do you think we should do?”,as the mother ponders this question take note of the VERY SAME BEAR that was above the carriage now sitting to the left of the couple at 1:10 & ,pay attention to the empty bears lap!notice Kubricks way of telling us what the daughters hopes for her future is by cutting to the daughter holding a “fairytale” doll,then notice at 1:19 Kubrick showing the REALITY ending for the daughter as her “SABRINA” doll sits in the lap of the stalker bear!you can then go & watch the daughter being pushed into the hands of the two men who were at the posh party at the start of the film as they proceed to take the daughter away as a sacrifice of Bill seeing to much at the sex cult mansion.Your certainly correct about Stanley Kubrick,without doubt a bona fide GENIUS!
@@countryclubpga3309 Eyes wide shut OBVIOUSLY!You just need to watch it.The time stamps are there & I point out some of the background details which Kubrick ALWAYS used as much if not MORE for storytelling than the foreground.What part of what I sayed do you think is wrong btw
In this film their relationship is tested. Can a marriage survive infidelity, even if it is implied? Cruise's character wants to know that nectar, like Nicole Kidman' s character does thus he embarks on a journey fueled by jealously into a Dante's "Inferno" like nightmare; in the span of a night. He comes dangerously close to it even experiencing it vicariously in imagining his wife succumbing to it. Cruise's character has a romanticized idea of what love is. He believes it can only be consummated in emotion. I love you therefore it must be real. Kidman has a more realistic if pessimistic belief in what love is. In her world love must be proven empirically, constantly tested. When she says there's only one thing to do is to have sex, to he's "Forever" she is really removing his disillusion. The only way to know one is really alive, to know anything for certain is by experiencing it physically.
the wife is the connection, she explained everythinng the husband saw as a dream, but she was there for real, in fact he finds the mask on the bed near the wife
She was there for real ? can you explain me your point of view, was a dream or not THIS EXIST ? I KNOW THE MASK WAS ON THE BED I BELIEVE EXIST THATS WAY THEY KILL THE director
@@that_artsy_boy675 I thought that too, but, think about this. What if Alice actually was at the orgy too, and she saw Bill when he unmasked. She got home before him and first told him her dream (which was very similar to what actually happened at the orgy) as a way to try and provoke him into confessing where he had been. Then when this did not work, she tried to provoke him again by putting the mask on the bed and waiting for him to get home. When he gets home and sees it, he does break down crying and then confesses. I'm not saying for sure that happened, I'm just floating the idea. She always seemed more aware of the dark side of high society, maybe she could have been at the orgy too. In fact, that older man she dances with at the beginning could have been the one who invited her.
This is actually my favorite Kubrick film next to A Clockwork Orange. It's just so compelling. If you have an action scene with bullets flying everywhere and you're able to have your audience at the edge of their seat, you should get a pat on the back. If you're able to have a scene where two people are sitting at a table having a conversation and your audience is at the edge of their seat, you should get some kind of award, because that's one hell of an accomplishment. EWS does this non-stop
Yeah because each sentence takes 94 seconds of screen time so you’re on the edge of your seat wondering when the hell they’re going to finish their thought
In A Clockwork Orange, Stanley K tips the world's attention to government LSD mind-control experiments on prisoners and children, Moloch worship and Adrenochrome (Moloko Drenkrom) In Dr. Strangelove, Stanley tips the world's attention to the poisoning of the public water supply and the fact that the American government listens to imported Nazi scientists and propaganda officers. In Space Odyssey, he warns of the hostile AI god that's going to destroy us. In Eyes Wide Shut, he reveals the rich, influential sex/devil-worship cult --- and he wasn't allowed to finish the movie and tie the final threads together. I'd like to see how he connected the underage Russian prostitute to them, for example.
1:24, two old men from the rich people party at the beginning of the movie put a bear on the wrong shelf, then the daughter follows them as they walk away, looking back for just a second, then the waiter with the long hair from the same party walks in between the couple and their daughter, then it cuts to the long close-up conversation that ends the movie. deeply unsettling particularities that you might not notice besides at a subconscious level. there's a reason Kubrick did hundreds of takes.
So if Kubricks underlying symbolic meaning of the teddy bears is pedophilia and child abuse, was he trying to portray every adult in that store with a teddy bear as some kind of child abuser? Because it seems pretty questionable with how creepy the acting is. It really gives a lot more of a darker feeling to Christmas....weird.
yes ! and also if you remember danny with the bear on the bed from the shining.. as well as the bear and guy scene. which is symbolic of danny being sexually abused by his father
"The important thing is, we're awake now" That says it all.That was the whole point of this movie is to wake people up to what's happening. If you're not aware,awake,then you won't be able to make heads or tails out of it and would think it was just boring bullshit. You need to know just how far deep the rabbit hole goes.It's very scary.
@M.V.P. Wow, I made that comment 7 years ago! And here I sit still fuming and thinking, Why are all those pedos still alive? Why won't anyone get rid of them already? This pandemic brought some so called "celebrity" freaks out into the light. Makes me sick!
Aaron Sanders REALLY!.Check the bear on the left of the parents at 1:09,then look what Kubrick sits in the lap of the bear(symbolising pedos)when it cuts back from the daughter showing her mum what should be,a fairy princess doll(fairy tale ending)then Kubrick shows the reality of this entire ending sequence at 1:19,with the daughters “Sabrina” doll(that seconds b4 she said would look good in what the mum referred to as an “old fashioned”pram)sitting right in the bears(pedos) lap.Kuprick was way too smart for Hollywood.There is zero doubt about what is happening in this ending
@@socillizt4life Whoa 😳 I would never have noticed that in the bears lap if you hadn't pointed it out. The symbolism becomes impossible to deny in all this.
THIS END SEQUENCE EXPLAINED WITH EYES WIDE OPEN! 0:18-notice the bear(you will see this EXACT SAME bear AGAIN in a different position in a few seconds)that sits above the carriage in a “stalker” like position as the daughter mentions her “Sabrina Doll”. 0:40-the daughter hopes Santa will bring her a bear,Alice tells her “we’ll have to wait & see”. We will see that’s for sure! 1:05-Note the EXACT same bear that was sitting above the toy carriage,where the daughter 1st mentioned her Sabrina doll,now sitting on the left of the screen beside Alice as she stops to ponder Bills question of ”What do you think we should do?”. Notice the bears EMPTY lap. 1:14-The daughter calls to her Mummy while Alice ponders Bills question of “what do you think we should do?”.Kubrick cuts to the daughter holding a fairytale princess,the daughter clearly wants this doll & hints at the hope of a fairytale end as she holds the princess with a huge hopeful innocent smile. 1:18-Kubrick shows us all that Alices pondering is over,she’s sticking with “the deal” obviously as planned by Alice imo,there’s no fairytale ending here as Kubrick cuts back to the couple with the daughters “Sabrina doll” now sitting in the lap of the EXACT same bear that “stalked” her at the toy carriage as the daughter talked about this very Sabrina Doll that now sits in its lap(Bears are a metaphor for Pedos!) From here on out you will see this little background finale tale played out for real,as Alice carries on to push their daughter into the hands of the sex cult with her eyes wide open by gently leading her into the hands of the pair of old men that had attended the posh party at the very start of the film.As Alice gives the daughter that light push away,imo Bills eyes are still wide shut to the sick reality of his daughter being handed into the perverted CULT of the privileged elites,that his wife has known of from the very beginning & may have even played their daughters very same roll,just 1 generation before,but Bills eyes are still wide shut IMO. Side note-There are plenty more background tricks/hints through this end sequence like the halo of lights around Alices head while she stops beside her daughter to look at the toy carriage for a few seconds,which resembles a female from the sex cult orgy but I was only focusing on the daughters foretelling in this post.
@@theoneand0nly874 Yeah,I could have used that far easier & more simplistic type of wording but all the background hints that build up to that simple edit ,could lead others to be far less objective about what ‘Kubrick was implying & symbolising with those few frames of the teddy/doll edit imo. So you carry on with your style of YT comments & I’ll stick to mine. OK M8. Much appreciated.✌️✊🏻🇧🇿🏴✊🏾
Nice attention paid to bears but how about the dude that suddenly appears walking behind Alice and Bill as they walk through the corridor. He then passes from behind bill and disappears. Next, you will see this dude appearing from the side at the end of the corridor where daughter walks missing. He stands close to the two white seniors. Could this guy be the "taker"? are the two seniors providing "oversight" to the kidnap?.
Alice was Bill’s handler and no one can convince me otherwise, she herself is part of this cult and still his. This whole thing started because of Alice, because of her transparency. Bill was in this mess BECAUSE of her, Bill foolishly let her sink her claws into him. Those dreams Alice cried about where memories as was the Naval office. Bill has been blind to this the whole movie, even in this scene Alice seems like the true mastermind behind Helena’s obvious abduction, constantly diverting Bill’s attention. What’s sickening is that she doesn’t even care that she just sacrificed her daughter as long as she “survived”.
I think Alice is part of the cult but as a victim of it. She even looks like the women in it who are used in the group sex scenes and she dresses in a very sexy way at the party. The dream she has of having sex with many men, because it is so similar to what the "sex slave women" were doing in the group sex scene, seems to be a traumatic memory. But she loves Bill (even though she is very flirtatious and seductive with him, she refuses the advances of the Hungarian guy), which makes me think she has some kind of split personality or psychological damage.

1:35 They had to give up their child to the cult as payment!!! Toys are all occult/magic themed. I forget the actual names but toy packaging with names like "Magic Witch" doll or "Mystical Pony" or "Warlock's Castle" there are a bunch of them. Film ends among rows of Teddy Bears staring down at them from the shelves where Nicole Kidman's character realizes she's completely isolated and alone and so decides to capitulate and stay within the illusion and just get what she can get.
What i see is bill is getting assurances from alice what thay are doing is right?alice is sad that they are giving up their daughter and shifts the blame to bill that his one night adventure ruined their whole life with guilt.whether it is real or dream.meaning she is asking bill to forget the whole thing and not to open his mouth.they have to lose themselves as well.bill questions back whether dreams are mere dreams by confirming alice presence in the orgy that night or previous times.alice manipulates and diverge the topic that they are awake meaning both joined the cult and they should be grateful to survive the whole deal.maybe the initial plan of alice is to bring bill in the cult but plan gone wrong they sacrificed their daughter.may be she cries in the previous scene too the pain she was subjected to will befall her daughter.
The ending was different from what I remember... okay so when the little girl runaway to look at toys she bumped into this tall man wearing a suit and he Smirked at the little girl, and the little girl was in shocked and sigh, after the parent realized something they were in fear and started looking for the little girl, scream for her name.... and if you didn’t know the dark 25mins of the movie was deleted.. it was about child predators,cannibalism, sacrifice, it’s sicken but the truth about the Industry .
No dark 25 minutes of the film was deleted. Kubrick stuck extremely tightly to the original novel. Why would Kubrick have added extra malarkey to the end of the film, when nothing that had been in the novel to that point had been substantially changed?
The background you should be noticing in the first minute of this clip: 0:27 Alice's head is wreathed in lights, reminiscent of the girls arrayed in a circle at the orgy. 0:33 Alice's head is now framed by a symbol that occurs several other places in EWS. It looks something like the Taurus astrological symbol; others have liked it to the female reproductive system.
The two men were at the first party sitting with two ladies next to a statue of an angel when Tom is walking up the stairs to see the girl that OD, also the waiter that served Nicole at the party before she danced with the Hungarian comes to the scene.
“I think we should be…grateful…grateful that we managed to survive through all of our…adventures…whether they were real…or only a dream…” I think a part of Stanley Kubrick knew this was his last film. I’m glad he got to go out with a bang. I can only wonder what kind of films he would have made had he lived longer. RIP.
I see her walk towards the end of the aisle but I don't see her actually go off with anyone, then grab her hand, anything like that. Are we sure this isn't a looking too hard for things type of thing?
@@bakionigeri6414 just stupid theories that have no basis. People want to make stuff up because they think it means something. The ending that people make this out to be is silly.

MusicIsBuiltIn Vigilant citizen, which is a website, if you don't know, ( not that I agree with everything they do ) has an excellent three part series breaking down all the symbolism and imagery within this film. I recommend reading through it. Very disturbing.
MusicIsBuiltIn she wasnt kidnapped, they used their daughter as a form of payment because they knew too much about the elite sex cult...thats why when their duaghter left with the men the mother shakes her head and says "i think we should be grateful we survived" cause she knows they should have been killed for knowing so much, but instead they got to live but had to sacrafice their daughter...
Doubtful. That is just one (weak) take from a website run by religious organization that uses Illuminati conspiracy as a recruiting drive. There is basically nothing on that site that has any validity.
stigbeve It wasn't vigilant citizen that discovered this. It was a French dude who's vid is somewhere on youtube that first pointed this out. Look at the tall man and the other man. It's them from the stairs at the 1st party.
Elias Ashe-Shoal because you're just parroting some bullshit conspiracy theory that has no evidence to support it. There is zero evidence these are the same people. Zero. And its not at all clear what they are doing and there is ZERO evidence they have abducted the girl. Its basically just making shit up and pretending its real.
I was just stating that I don't agree that they gave the daughter to the men. They are there though. That's the beautiful thing about his movies, they are open for interpretation. Neither of us is wrong nor right
Kubrick died before the raw film was completely assembled. It was largely edited by others without any control from him, only memories of his aims and notes. So its quite possible.
Its almost as if the parents know exactly where shes going to end up after the final scene, so they both take a good look at her one last time and once at the two old men. That is just sooo fucking creepy!! Was it supposed to be part of the supposed deal as the film was trying to convey? Also in an interview with Nicole Kidman's when she's asked about Kubrick's death towards the end, she almost immediately tears up as in she just received the news, in total shock,. Was she reminded of how Kubrick was risking his life by making this movie and how extremely tragic it turned out to be?
The movie, and the ending in particular, has a lot in common with a 1984 movie called Crimes of Passion. It's a terrible film, but it plays with extremely interesting themes and concepts. It's about a regular fella who becomes enchanted with a prostitute, a woman who is a successful business person in day and who's being stalked by a deranged priest.
All along Alice has been in the cult. I think the dead giveaway was her “dream” and the mask on the bed (red herring as if somone broke in and placed it there ) In the end she essentially gives her child to the men in the overcoats away to the cult. And when Bill mentions “forever” she says she dosent like that word. Perhaps she has or knows Bill will be killed.
In the quest of something to fill his frustrated life, Dr. Bill enters "another realm" of vision, he opens, for a moment, his eyes and sees... What most people don't. But it's dangerous to go further so Alice, his wife, gives him the finest way to "close his eyes again": to fuck. Maybe the most symbolic and greatest film ever made.
I think she wasn't there. I like to believe that because of the finale... But of course, he's completely full of doubts at that point, so is comprehensible...
Nobody ever mentions that Stanley Kubrick's daughter joined the Church of Scientology in 1995. 4 years before this film released. And according to Kubrick's wife, he and his daughter had a huge fight around this time.
@@reallyhappenings5597 It really is. Another thing that informs this film I think, is reportedly Sue Lyon had a relationship with a producer during the making of "Lolita," and if true Kubrick must have been aware of it.
To understand what happened to the daughter, you need look no further than 1:09 and 1:18. Pay attention to the big bear on the left of the screen (Alice's right). I highly doubt that was a continuity error.
The worst part of this movie was when he fell over in the hospital and his bone was sticking out of his leg. Luckily it was all a dream with Penelope Cruz.
Fuck. In the context of the movie that phrase is in ironic way by Kubrick, a mean to forget more trascendent matters of the high classes, all the murder plot etc... Sexually obsessed society is the best way to be blind, eyes wide shut,., and forget other matters. Their eyes were open but out of fear they close them again. This whole movie has many layers, meanings, and one is that I'm sure.
This is my favorite Kubrick film HANDS DOWN. But someone help me out here...I watched this when I was probably in the 6th grade which I know seems like too mature of a film for me at the time but it affected me in such a way that I won’t even go into explaining it(but to put it simply it made me believe in, or understand the concept of an Illuminati-like society). What I need help clarifying is, I remember a scene close to the end of the film, in which Cruise’s character is asked about what he had just experienced in the last 24 hours and he breaks down crying and simply says “I don’t know”. I remember how shook I felt in this scene, and after watching this in 2020 in Hulu, the scene never happened. I’m really hoping there’s actually an original version, because if that scene never gets existed my world will further be mind-fucked my this whole film masterpiece.
@@MC-yq6us this fim is literally about conspiracies and its called "eyes wide shut" u have to be a bot, because there's no way u can miss the point that far
@@donelsw6676 I have to be a bit because I’m not a conspiracy nut. Yes this film has themes of conspiracy in it but it’s nit about that. It’s about passion between a married man and woman and how the passion can die and the temptations that threaten to ruin a marriage. But the conspiracy nuts like you gotta make it like it’s some coveted Illuminati warning message. Like I said it had themes of conspiracy in it but it goes much deeper into the human physche than that

@@nagarajbhat86 and sex.... like Sex Magick rituals
In Kubrick's personal version of the film, the camera went to Bill's face and Alice said, "Get Kubrick!"
Y en los subtítulos en castellano de Sudamérica aparece 'coger', es decir, follar.
Aye, even though she is from that secret sect and has sexuality with dozens of different man obligatorily, she still does love her husband.
The moral of the story: Never go to the parties that you are not invited.
Eyes wide shut, his eyes were open wide to a dark reality and now he has to shut them again as hes bascially being advised from his wife to do so. At the same time he has to suffer the consequence of his daughter being taken away by the secret society.
That would explain why he and Alice are crying really bad in the scene right before the Xmas shopping. He doesn't want to but she KNOWS they have to.
In the very last sequence of the film, Alice finally appears normal- neither drunk nor stoned, neither preening nor giggling. Her mask is finally off.
She wasnt stones most of the movies wtf you talking about. She was doing homework with her daughter, and other shit and she was fine
This film is the best type of horror in a sense that it's so grounded in reality and all the horrifying shit in just this last scene are all happening in the background and hidden in subtext in the dialogue and when you know what it means this film is absolutely terrifying
Kubrick knew it would come to the light.
Lord only knows what he saw during his career.
One unsettling thought that’s sat with me since accepting the meaning of this film is I pray Kubrick didn’t make this film to try & clean his own conscience toward his last days.

-Two old well dressed men are discussing a teddy bear. then
-The Hartford's girl child walks toward the men, looks back one last time, to be sure she is doing the correct thing, and walks further toward the old men.

This ending scene is a mini ritual. The red toy at 0:07 is called "magic circle" and there is the guy in red spreading the bubbles to the children, just like the high preast in red clock spreading the incense inside the magic circle on the ritual.
Then there is the sacrifice, the parents tap the children as she goes away and they don't even look back for her. And at the end, they close the ritual with sex, (sikbolized as she says the F word) just like the mansion ritual that ends with orgy. If you can get more clues like that, please comment bellow

The little girl is the price to pay when the father (Cruise) has seen too much inside of the lodge.
The oldmen that are taking her away are the oldmen attending Ziegler's party at the beginning of the film.
Yes, they're the old men at Ziegler's party
so madeline mccann was groomed ?
Are you sure they are the old men from the party? The same guys
yes and the waiter from the party is with them. Younger guy with longer hair. walks into frame @1:36
Mariamne Mara I think he is just the same actor who had to play the different role, isnt it?
This movie wasn’t only Stanley’s final film but this was also unsurprisingly Nicole & Tom’s last film together 😥
Kubrick kept them apart whilst filming EWS!
Is it odd that the parents let their child walk away and didn't appear to look for her in the last 3 minutes?
She looks at her dad twice as if to say, "are you gonna do something to prevent them from taking me?" He chooses the witch. He should have chosen a divorce and took his daughter and led her out of the store and raised her to trust in the Lord of Hosts.
?
Yes, that was odd and uncomfortable.
she walks away with two old guys, the same guys from the first party. she was a sacrafice, that poor little girl.
999klondike yes the woman is COLD BLOODED
At the party in the first act. Alice ask Bill if he’s knows anyone here(at the party). “Not a soul.” Then she seems relived...guess we know why now. Look who takes her daughter..
Tom Cruise stars in a movie about cults/mind control, then joins a mind control cult.
What a coincidence... not...
If you are referring to Scientology (which isn't a mind controlling cult) then you are mistaken, as Tom Cruise was already a part of Scientology at that time.
@@jaychun102 was about to say the exact same thing which gets me thinking if any of this made him think differently about Scientology but then again he is an actor and one of the first things you learn is that movies are fiction and therefore your roles are separated from your personal life
@@jaychun102 Scientology is fasho a mind controlling cult bruh
Scientology destroys families.
I know how did he to this movie.
I used to think that this film had a happy ending; the couple were able to return to their happy marriage after all of the infidelity and lies they had kept secret, but now looking at this theory of their daughter being kidnapped by the cult, i have come to change my mind.
Keep your theory because really the others don't matter. Theories, ideas, imaginations are really empty if they are out of the film. That's why kubrick never explained his pieces, because he wants you to feel what you know and see at this moment. It doesn't matter the background or what could happen next... if it's not there for you then it is nowhere. Hug what you feel watching it, that's all.
I'm pretty sure this is some twisted metaphor for them joining that.... masked thing.
I thought it was them accepting that they now (and temporarily) are aware of their lack of control.
Bill was cocky towards his friend the pianist, because he assumed he was at the "top". Now he knows he is just another pleb.
He also believed he was completely secure with his wife who he viewed as an object of his, incapable of deceit.
I didn't take it as happy, but bittersweet? We should try to recognise what we have, and appreciate that, and not pull at the threads. Choosing complacency.
@@asdfhgjkl9 I agree with your interpretation. I think this has more to do with the fragility of relationships than all of the conspiracy stuff.
@@neszero Did you notice the two old men at the end of the Isle? One of the men was the same man Nicole danced with in the party, and who was a part of the mask cult. Video quality is bad here, but it's clear as day on bluray it's him. They had to give up their child to the cult as payment.
The two have become so engrossed by the end with this thing Sex that they miss what's right in front of them, namely their daughter, who for a good three minutes wanders a very crowded store alone. The daughter, waving the barbie doll to her apathetic mom, is symbolic of this. She is growing into the same trap as her parents.
Finally someone who understands it
Did you notice the child goes off to the two men who were featured elsewhere in the movie? Was she given to them?
@@pookie4660bro stfu and go watch the movie
@@pookie4660you have to look for more comments and sub comments, indeed the child is given away for sacrifice or pa$d0s
The daughter was holding the barbie with wings and the daughter at the beginning of the movie was actually wearing wings. Nicole did not allow her daughter to take the teddy bear and said "wait and see" then the daughter picked the barbie. She then allowed her daughter to follow the 2 strange men...
“The important is thing is we’re awake now.” What she actually meant was being ‘Enlightened’
Is that a Magnolia reference?

Oh my goodness!
Don't you mean the other way around? The doll isn't there at 1:15 and is there at 1:20.
Woo! Deep meaning, or just continuity error?
What if that barbie represents that girl she is vanished in the end wow
Teddy bear supposed to be pedobear(paedophil mascot).
I'm pretty sure in this dialog there's a Kubrick's self quote. Bill says "Forever", Alice replies "Forever" and the doctor again says "Forever". There's something quite similar in Shining, in the scene where the little twins in the long hallway of the Overlook say to Danny "Come and play with us, Danny. Forever… and ever… and ever"...
Interesting observation
In HELL
The two guys in the background here 1:32 were actually in the movie at the start, part of the secret society.
The daughter soon disappears, appearing to follow the two men.
Not only were Bill and Alice being followed, but their daughter was taken because they were too busy being paranoid. A last second irony.
Eyes Wide Shut is an absolute masterpiece, subtle and exposing.
Oh shit.
Yea youre reading wayyyy to hard into the last 4 seconds the daughter is on screen.
@GrimReefer the store is full of adults, they're not the only two men in the whole store. If they were then maybe youd be onto something but its full of adults doing Christmas shopping. Also the unsupervised bit is clearly just to make the scene flow better, its purely filmmaking. What works better as the ending the parents talking to each other uninterrupted or having the dialogue constantly broken by a child.
Yes soon as she sees them she sighed he asks if she’s sure knowing really what’s going to happen Damn pimping your own daughter out I wonder what was on the cut 21 minutes
HOW COMES THAT ALICE BECOMES PARANOID? SHE IS (SPOILER COMING THROUGH) MOST MOST PROBABLY FROM THE SECT TOO
The daughter even tries to remain innocent as she asked her mom for the baby carriage. Perhaps she is representing the desire to live a normal life when she asked for the first gift. Her mom replies, “it’s oldFashioned” .... there are layers on layers in this film
amazing analysis, wow, yes Kubrick's messages are just so deep, I just wish hed described more of them, or did he want us to use our own brains to discover them? Genius.
gypsykatcher30 The daughter said to her mum about the baby carriage “I could put Sabrina in this” only for Alice to tell her it’s old fashioned,just like the “Sabrina” doll(that obviously represents the daughter)Kubrick shows in the lap of the Bear(symbol for pedo),look at the Bear to the left of the parents at 1:09,Kubrick then cuts to the daughter showing the fairy princess(the ending the daughter wishes for,just for Kubrick to show the sick ending in a single frame at 1:19 as he cuts back to the parents,where the daughter doll sits right in the bears lap
@@socillizt4life That really is the proof. The doll moves out of her box and into the lap of the bear! No way Kubrick would miss this, IMDB says he did something like 32 cuts of the scene with the pool table, so he wouldn't let someone accidently move the bear.
Willy Young The doll in the bears lap is actually the daughters “Sabrina” doll that she mentions at the baby carriage.Take note of what is sitting right above the baby carriage while the daughter talks about her “old fashioned” Sabrina doll,not just a bear but the EXACT SAME BEAR YOU SEE WITH HER SABRINA DOLL seconds later,after the cut to the daughter with the boxed fairy princess doll,straight after the couple ask themselves “what should we do now?” is the hope the child has for a fairytale ending,juxtaposed to the REAL ending represented by the bear & doll.This is clearly Kubrick time stamping the exact moment the mother commits fully to the answer to the question “what should we do now?”,this is the point that the mother decides that she is going through with her choice of giving the daughter as a sacrifice,the fairy princess represents the choice the mother still held at that point to change her mind & turn for the malls exit with her daughter in tow but that was only a fairytale as Kubrick CLEARLY shows in this final sequence.Kubrick was beyond obsessive about EVERY DETAIL in EVERY frame of all his films,he has used background details & symbolism throughout his career,the chances of this being a mistake when the entire sequence builds up to this point is insanity.The VERY SAME bear sits above the toy carriage in a stalker like way as the daughter admires it & talks about her Sabrina doll RIGHT INFRONT OF THE VERY BEAR THAT SITS WITH THE SABRINA DOLL IN LAP SECONDS LATER ,the daughter then picks the bear up & asks her mum for it,the mother reply’s “you’ll just have to wait & see!”.The entire ending sequence plays out seamlessly in background details,this is master storytelling & FAR from continuity mistakes in the editing process.
@@gypsykatcher30 interpretation is always better when it comes to great art in my opinion.
It also reflects the minds of those viewing.

Lol why??
@@IsaacRainford21 you can just tell. the whole movie builds up to it spectacularly
Notice how Alice tells Helena that putting the baby in the stroller is “old fashioned”. Is that a hint to suggest that the new way of raising kids is by the men who take the daughter away? Also notice that the barbie doll shown has a very similar costume as the one worn by their daughter at the start of the movie. Again maybe another subtle way of suggesting that like the doll, Helena is also for sale.
Yes. The bear is the pedo. The doll ends up in the pedos lap. Not the old fashioned stroller.
What’s creepy is that the kid says she hopes Santa gives the bear (pedo) to her for Christmas and the mom says “you’re gonna have to wait and see”
The music changes when Bill and Alice turn to the final corridor where they would presumably lose their daughter. They have been tailed by at least four guys one of them even passing Bill from behind and joining the other members of the squad at the end of the final scene corridor. The daughter looks back twice searching for her father's supervision. Here is an interesting detail. Why would Helena feel the need to turn back to look only at her father? Why would she not just keep walking freely like she had been up until that very moment?. Did Alice secretly give Helena any indication to follow those two men beforehand?. Is the daughter following some previous indication that involves surrendering her to the cult?.
Too distracted to even notice their child being led away...
Eyes wide shut...
1:09 dude picks up smaller bear for half a second, then walks eerily more into frame right behind Bill & Alice.
Cut to frame when Kubrick changes the POV to behind them instead of in front, see the old men placing a smaller brown bear in a spot amongst black bears, sticking out of the shelf as if to plant it.
Parents turn to look at them almost as if saying goodbye, even rubbing her head as if to comfort her, yet Alice seems to have little feeling at all.
After they frame the old men, as the little girl looks back at Alice & Bill, the same same man at 1:09 walks strangely right by/behind Alice...
Also same tiger from Domino’s house on the rack where the daughter hugged the bear & also to the right of Alice
This film is just genius, great Stanley Kubrick
(3:33-3:54) Considering this is Kubirck's last film, those words really get me.
notice how youtube has taken down any actual theories of the true meaning behind this encrypted movie. I can’t find any videos that expose what truly happens to the daughter at the end. RIP Stanley
I am also amazed by this
He was killed
The comment above you has a reply about the meaning.
Why do yall lie all the time lmao
You don't need to look for videos. Read the novel it's based on : "Dream Story". It's all there, in fact Kubrick sticks VERY closely to it. Nothing happens to the daughter, she's there and laughing in the last sentence of the book. Why tf would Kubrick mess around with the ending of a book he obviously respected?
You never realize how much Kubrick used colours for representation. Red Cloak is in a red circle, surrounded by people in blue and black robes. Ziegler, a guest at the party who like all others wishes to climb the ladder adorns his house in red- his pool table, his wife, his bathroom couch and painting, the pictures on his walls of Renaissance figures all wearing red. Bill has been associated with blue for most of the movie, in his outfits, to the lighting at Ziegeler’s office, on the streets and when entering his bedroom. Here we see that after telling Alice and realizing she was aware, his blue jacket suddenly has a red vest under it. The entire first few seconds of this scene is all red backdrop and people in blue coats. Then a child in a red dress. Then as another poster pointed out the significance of bears in Kubricks films; in the shining Danny uses the bear to talk about sexual assault. At 1:20 there’s a bear that is slightly darker than the others that was seen above the baby carriage earlier and is now beside Alice. It has a red bow around its neck where the ones around it have no ribbons (the blue bear with a white one above beside another bear with what looks like maybe a red ribbon?) and suddenly a blue doll with blonde hair is placed in its lap. Their daughter is also wearing all blue.
I think this is supposed to show us that Bill was on the cusp of the elites without knowing their price, and after violating the rules twice he now has to give up his daughter. It’s all been cut from the film clearly, infamously, but the men that their daughter follows are in the movie previously.
Two men guard the bathroom where the model is passed out, two men take her away when she sacrifices herself for Bill, two men take away Nightingale and now two men take away their child.
and like others have said, Alice after telling Bill they should be thankful for their honesty that has made them so miserable and dejecting his assurance of “forever” states it’s imperative they have to now go home and bang. To have another child.
This is all very interesting. I do believe that Ziegler is already at the top - he is Red Cloak. There are clues that are covered in several videos - the main one being how he moves the pool ball on his pool table when he is speaking with Bill, it is very reminiscent of how the Red Cloak moved the incense and his staff.
@@Ethereal_Ghost I’ve also thought perhaps the model with her first OD is to draw Bill into the world; Ziegler seeing if he could trust him to keep the secret of finding another woman with him, passed out from drugs and help him on the downlow. Once realizing it’s not Bill’s scene it’s the same woman who now sacrifices herself to get him out of this world.
Also not sure if it’s a coincidence or not, but in Moulin Rouge a film starring Nicole Kidman around the same time as EWS, the “owner” of the prostitutes is named Ziegler aswell, and he wears a red jacket throughout all of the film.
@yitzhak shekkelsteingoldmanberg huh I never thought of it that way but it’s entirely possible. I personally always saw her shrugging off the “forever” comment as, in this one night their entire marriage has been brought to light that they both crave more and are lacking a certain intimacy and excitement. Alice with the dreams/sailor (IIRC?) and Bill with chasing the entire party and being intrigued by the debauchery he witnessed, even going to a prostitute and although not partaking stayed longer than most devoted married men would. I think it’s supposed to capture that Ziegler and his wife are for all intensive purposes married and together, but before we’re even taken to the party (that it’s hinted Ziegler’s wife is at) he’s already shown to be having an affair with the model.
I kinda read those last lines as “we’re completely bare with eachother now, we’ve stepped into a world we both are curious about but it’s dangerous and a fine line. We have to keep up appearances, maintain our status and it’s safer to have one person you trust with you, but there’s no turning back from this world or from this damage in our marriage” but she insists on having another child immediately because now that they’re in this world, unfortunately there’s only one currency they will accept if you cross them. Them making love to have a child is more about self preservation and maintaining the notion that they are not childless to the outside world. It was half “we need insurance incase we step out of line again” and “everyone knows we have a child, so we have to go make another one” Almost as if their daughter can be so easily replaced.
It’s actually a very sickening ending when you step back and look at it. There’s a few things in this world I would give anything for, and to see the uncut footage of this movie before the studios got their hands on it is one of them.
@@ignacioclerici5341 Because they were played by different actors. I don't see any reason to believe Ziegler would talk in a phony voice in the ritual. Maybe if we had been told he was an actor. We don't know what he does for a living.
@@Ethereal_Ghost also when he holds the ball he taps the ball two times on the table like he did with the staff
Let me explain the "fuck" ending too.
The whole movie, Bill is build up - desperate for sex, he comes close on lots of occasions but never actually has sex. Despite being surrounded by it.
Bill leaves Alice and goes looking for sex, that's why he goes to the party etc, but he just gets built up and build up. Never getting sex.
The movie's climax is ironically Bill finding sex from the place that he originally left to look for it, it's a climax in both terms of the word.
Kubrick = Genius.
dsd mugley nope , he snuck into a party he shouldn't have , if he never did that he'd never know zielger was there , it's about powerful people ,there private parties , and the power to kill if necessary
We can say for sure your eyes are still wide shut.
No offence but you just noticed a facade that Kubrick used as a gloss for the much deeper & darker & universal problem of the elite ruling classes(think Jeffrey Epstein)& the straight up perverted shit they indulge in!
Plz take close note of THAT VERY BEAR,just above the baby carriage in a stalker type position as the daughter mentions of her “SABRINA” doll at 0:20.Then notice at 1:00 as Bill ask his wife “what do you think we should do?”,as the mother ponders this question take note of the VERY SAME BEAR that was above the carriage now sitting to the left of the couple at 1:10 & ,pay attention to the empty bears lap!notice Kubricks way of telling us what the daughters hopes for her future is by cutting to the daughter holding a “fairytale” doll,then notice at 1:19 Kubrick showing the REALITY ending for the daughter as her “SABRINA” doll sits in the lap of the stalker bear!you can then go & watch the daughter being pushed into the hands of the two men who were at the posh party at the start of the film as they proceed to take the daughter away as a sacrifice of Bill seeing to much at the sex cult mansion.Your certainly correct about Stanley Kubrick,without doubt a bona fide GENIUS!

In this film their relationship is tested. Can a marriage survive infidelity, even if it is implied? Cruise's character wants to know that nectar, like Nicole Kidman' s character does thus he embarks on a journey fueled by jealously into a Dante's "Inferno" like nightmare; in the span of a night. He comes dangerously close to it even experiencing it vicariously in imagining his wife succumbing to it. Cruise's character has a romanticized idea of what love is. He believes it can only be consummated in emotion. I love you therefore it must be real. Kidman has a more realistic if pessimistic belief in what love is. In her world love must be proven empirically, constantly tested. When she says there's only one thing to do is to have sex, to he's "Forever" she is really removing his disillusion. The only way to know one is really alive, to know anything for certain is by experiencing it physically.
this the shit shirley temple had to go through
the wife is the connection, she explained everythinng the husband saw as a dream, but she was there for real, in fact he finds the mask on the bed near the wife
Kevin no she wasn't , that's all a side plot , the main plot is Tom's character seeing things he shouldn't have
She was there for real ? can you explain me your point of view, was a dream or not THIS EXIST ? I KNOW THE MASK WAS ON THE BED I BELIEVE EXIST THATS WAY THEY KILL THE director
No no the mask was put there by the cult folks to scare the living shit out of tom cruise
@@that_artsy_boy675 I thought that too, but, think about this. What if Alice actually was at the orgy too, and she saw Bill when he unmasked. She got home before him and first told him her dream (which was very similar to what actually happened at the orgy) as a way to try and provoke him into confessing where he had been. Then when this did not work, she tried to provoke him again by putting the mask on the bed and waiting for him to get home. When he gets home and sees it, he does break down crying and then confesses. I'm not saying for sure that happened, I'm just floating the idea. She always seemed more aware of the dark side of high society, maybe she could have been at the orgy too. In fact, that older man she dances with at the beginning could have been the one who invited her.
@@dougburr4192 OH MY GODDD THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
This is actually my favorite Kubrick film next to A Clockwork Orange. It's just so compelling.
If you have an action scene with bullets flying everywhere and you're able to have your audience at the edge of their seat, you should get a pat on the back.
If you're able to have a scene where two people are sitting at a table having a conversation and your audience is at the edge of their seat, you should get some kind of award, because that's one hell of an accomplishment.
EWS does this non-stop
Yeah because each sentence takes 94 seconds of screen time so you’re on the edge of your seat wondering when the hell they’re going to finish their thought
In A Clockwork Orange, Stanley K tips the world's attention to government LSD mind-control experiments on prisoners and children, Moloch worship and Adrenochrome (Moloko Drenkrom)
In Dr. Strangelove, Stanley tips the world's attention to the poisoning of the public water supply and the fact that the American government listens to imported Nazi scientists and propaganda officers.
In Space Odyssey, he warns of the hostile AI god that's going to destroy us.
In Eyes Wide Shut, he reveals the rich, influential sex/devil-worship cult --- and he wasn't allowed to finish the movie and tie the final threads together. I'd like to see how he connected the underage Russian prostitute to them, for example.
Clock work orange sucked but this movie was awesome! Not sure why people think CWO is a masterpiece, the movie sucked.
@@Ur2ez4me81 try watching it again being an adult and also knowing the context of the dirty government secrets it revealed to its audience.
@@Ur2ez4me81 Nah both movies are occuIt N ew Order crap
1:24, two old men from the rich people party at the beginning of the movie put a bear on the wrong shelf, then the daughter follows them as they walk away, looking back for just a second, then the waiter with the long hair from the same party walks in between the couple and their daughter, then it cuts to the long close-up conversation that ends the movie.
deeply unsettling particularities that you might not notice besides at a subconscious level. there's a reason Kubrick did hundreds of takes.
So if Kubricks underlying symbolic meaning of the teddy bears is pedophilia and child abuse, was he trying to portray every adult in that store with a teddy bear as some kind of child abuser? Because it seems pretty questionable with how creepy the acting is. It really gives a lot more of a darker feeling to Christmas....weird.
yes ! and also if you remember danny with the bear on the bed from the shining.. as well as the bear and guy scene. which is symbolic of danny being sexually abused by his father
kubrick deliberately sets the film at christmas to emphasize how anti christ they are

"The important thing is, we're awake now" That says it all.That was the whole point of this movie is to wake people up to what's happening. If you're not aware,awake,then you won't be able to make heads or tails out of it and would think it was just boring bullshit. You need to know just how far deep the rabbit hole goes.It's very scary.

one theory is she's in on the kidnapping she distracts tom and feels guilty.
maybe in a way she was in on it the whole time?
It’s a baseless theory
Aaron Sanders REALLY!.Check the bear on the left of the parents at 1:09,then look what Kubrick sits in the lap of the bear(symbolising pedos)when it cuts back from the daughter showing her mum what should be,a fairy princess doll(fairy tale ending)then Kubrick shows the reality of this entire ending sequence at 1:19,with the daughters “Sabrina” doll(that seconds b4 she said would look good in what the mum referred to as an “old fashioned”pram)sitting right in the bears(pedos) lap.Kuprick was way too smart for Hollywood.There is zero doubt about what is happening in this ending
@@socillizt4life Whoa 😳 I would never have noticed that in the bears lap if you hadn't pointed it out. The symbolism becomes impossible to deny in all this.
THIS END SEQUENCE EXPLAINED WITH EYES WIDE OPEN!
0:18-notice the bear(you will see this EXACT SAME bear AGAIN in a different position in a few seconds)that sits above the carriage in a “stalker” like position as the daughter mentions her “Sabrina Doll”.
0:40-the daughter hopes Santa will bring her a bear,Alice tells her “we’ll have to wait & see”. We will see that’s for sure!
1:05-Note the EXACT same bear that was sitting above the toy carriage,where the daughter 1st mentioned her Sabrina doll,now sitting on the left of the screen beside Alice as she stops to ponder Bills question of ”What do you think we should do?”. Notice the bears EMPTY lap.
1:14-The daughter calls to her Mummy while Alice ponders Bills question of “what do you think we should do?”.Kubrick cuts to the daughter holding a fairytale princess,the daughter clearly wants this doll & hints at the hope of a fairytale end as she holds the princess with a huge hopeful innocent smile.
1:18-Kubrick shows us all that Alices pondering is over,she’s sticking with “the deal” obviously as planned by Alice imo,there’s no fairytale ending here as Kubrick cuts back to the couple with the daughters “Sabrina doll” now sitting in the lap of the EXACT same bear that “stalked” her at the toy carriage as the daughter talked about this very Sabrina Doll that now sits in its lap(Bears are a metaphor for Pedos!)
From here on out you will see this little background finale tale played out for real,as Alice carries on to push their daughter into the hands of the sex cult with her eyes wide open by gently leading her into the hands of the pair of old men that had attended the posh party at the very start of the film.As Alice gives the daughter that light push away,imo Bills eyes are still wide shut to the sick reality of his daughter being handed into the perverted CULT of the privileged elites,that his wife has known of from the very beginning & may have even played their daughters very same roll,just 1 generation before,but Bills eyes are still wide shut IMO.
Side note-There are plenty more background tricks/hints through this end sequence like the halo of lights around Alices head while she stops beside her daughter to look at the toy carriage for a few seconds,which resembles a female from the sex cult orgy but I was only focusing on the daughters foretelling in this post.
Also Go to 1:15 the 1:19 and look at the teddy bear on the left side.
Notice the pentagram among the toy princesses
👏
@@theoneand0nly874
Yeah,I could have used that far easier & more simplistic type of wording but all the background hints that build up to that simple edit ,could lead others to be far less objective about what ‘Kubrick was implying & symbolising with those few frames of the teddy/doll edit imo.
So you carry on with your style of YT comments & I’ll stick to mine. OK M8. Much appreciated.✌️✊🏻🇧🇿🏴✊🏾
Nice attention paid to bears but how about the dude that suddenly appears walking behind Alice and Bill as they walk through the corridor. He then passes from behind bill and disappears. Next, you will see this dude appearing from the side at the end of the corridor where daughter walks missing. He stands close to the two white seniors. Could this guy be the "taker"? are the two seniors providing "oversight" to the kidnap?.
Alice was Bill’s handler and no one can convince me otherwise, she herself is part of this cult and still his. This whole thing started because of Alice, because of her transparency. Bill was in this mess BECAUSE of her, Bill foolishly let her sink her claws into him. Those dreams Alice cried about where memories as was the Naval office. Bill has been blind to this the whole movie, even in this scene Alice seems like the true mastermind behind Helena’s obvious abduction, constantly diverting Bill’s attention. What’s sickening is that she doesn’t even care that she just sacrificed her daughter as long as she “survived”.
I think Alice is part of the cult but as a victim of it. She even looks like the women in it who are used in the group sex scenes and she dresses in a very sexy way at the party. The dream she has of having sex with many men, because it is so similar to what the "sex slave women" were doing in the group sex scene, seems to be a traumatic memory. But she loves Bill (even though she is very flirtatious and seductive with him, she refuses the advances of the Hungarian guy), which makes me think she has some kind of split personality or psychological damage.

Toys are all occult/magic themed.
I forget the actual names but toy packaging with names like "Magic Witch" doll or "Mystical Pony" or "Warlock's Castle" there are a bunch of them.
Film ends among rows of Teddy Bears staring down at them from the shelves where Nicole Kidman's character realizes she's completely isolated and alone and so decides to capitulate and stay within the illusion and just get what she can get.
Again we see Teddy Bears prominent in a Kubrick film.
Kubrick, master of the abrupt beginning and the abrupt ending.
In medias res, baby....
What i see is bill is getting assurances from alice what thay are doing is right?alice is sad that they are giving up their daughter and shifts the blame to bill that his one night adventure ruined their whole life with guilt.whether it is real or dream.meaning she is asking bill to forget the whole thing and not to open his mouth.they have to lose themselves as well.bill questions back whether dreams are mere dreams by confirming alice presence in the orgy that night or previous times.alice manipulates and diverge the topic that they are awake meaning both joined the cult and they should be grateful to survive the whole deal.maybe the initial plan of alice is to bring bill in the cult but plan gone wrong they sacrificed their daughter.may be she cries in the previous scene too the pain she was subjected to will befall her daughter.
the daughter just get casually kidnap while the parents are talking. parents of the year people
*****
have you not read the youtube comments, the two men are from the secret society and are in the shot with the daughter, the daughter is fucked.
it would be the second part , directed by Michael Bay
John Nguyen relax its a movie
Alice is so good in hiding her emotions
It's like Tom and Nicole just keep trowing back amazing, memorable lines back at each other.
The ending was different from what I remember... okay so when the little girl runaway to look at toys she bumped into this tall man wearing a suit and he Smirked at the little girl, and the little girl was in shocked and sigh, after the parent realized something they were in fear and started looking for the little girl, scream for her name.... and if you didn’t know the dark 25mins of the movie was deleted.. it was about child predators,cannibalism, sacrifice, it’s sicken but the truth about the Industry .
No dark 25 minutes of the film was deleted. Kubrick stuck extremely tightly to the original novel. Why would Kubrick have added extra malarkey to the end of the film, when nothing that had been in the novel to that point had been substantially changed?
Great filmmaking. Love Kubrick. Like most, I didn't care for it when it first came out but now....o wow
One of the Greatest Movies ever made ! ! ! ! ! !
The background you should be noticing in the first minute of this clip: 0:27 Alice's head is wreathed in lights, reminiscent of the girls arrayed in a circle at the orgy. 0:33 Alice's head is now framed by a symbol that occurs several other places in EWS. It looks something like the Taurus astrological symbol; others have liked it to the female reproductive system.
Looks like bull horns..
Bingooooo
Facts! Also the bull is representative of the deity Moloch which is the god ppl used to sacrifice children to
Stanley Kubrick finished his brilliant career with the word "fuck"
I think Helena was taken as a warning to Bill, he messed with the wrong people so they took his daughter.
& now they need to fuck as soon as possible to make a new one
The two men were at the first party sitting with two ladies next to a statue of an angel when Tom is walking up the stairs to see the girl that OD, also the waiter that served Nicole at the party before she danced with the Hungarian comes to the scene.
Good Bye, little girl
“I think we should be…grateful…grateful that we managed to survive through all of our…adventures…whether they were real…or only a dream…”
I think a part of Stanley Kubrick knew this was his last film. I’m glad he got to go out with a bang. I can only wonder what kind of films he would have made had he lived longer. RIP.
He wanted to make AI artificial intelligence...later Spielberg directed it and dedicated it to Kubrick
We’re awake now. That’s like her saying “we’re in now at the cost of our daughter “

Their daughter is kidnapped by those same two men from zieglers party at the beginning.
Which two men? The ones who asked for the password at the gate?
thiefswiller No. Look at the bottom of the spiral staircase just after he meets with ziegler at the christmas party if you have the film avaiable. They are chatting at a table sitting across from each other.
MusicIsBuiltIn Vigilant citizen, which is a website, if you don't know, ( not that I agree with everything they do ) has an excellent three part series breaking down all the symbolism and imagery within this film. I recommend reading through it. Very disturbing.
I think they give their daughter to them
MusicIsBuiltIn she wasnt kidnapped, they used their daughter as a form of payment because they knew too much about the elite sex cult...thats why when their duaghter left with the men the mother shakes her head and says "i think we should be grateful we survived" cause she knows they should have been killed for knowing so much, but instead they got to live but had to sacrafice their daughter...
they give the kid to men who were sitting at base of stairs at party.
Someone read the analysis on vigilant citizen. Can't say I agree with that.
Doubtful. That is just one (weak) take from a website run by religious organization that uses Illuminati conspiracy as a recruiting drive. There is basically nothing on that site that has any validity.
stigbeve It wasn't vigilant citizen that discovered this. It was a French dude who's vid is somewhere on youtube that first pointed this out. Look at the tall man and the other man. It's them from the stairs at the 1st party.
Elias Ashe-Shoal because you're just parroting some bullshit conspiracy theory that has no evidence to support it. There is zero evidence these are the same people. Zero. And its not at all clear what they are doing and there is ZERO evidence they have abducted the girl.
Its basically just making shit up and pretending its real.
I was just stating that I don't agree that they gave the daughter to the men. They are there though. That's the beautiful thing about his movies, they are open for interpretation. Neither of us is wrong nor right
Kubrick died before the raw film was completely assembled. It was largely edited by others without any control from him, only memories of his aims and notes. So its quite possible.
Carl Schwamberger nope, the final edit was completed 4 days before he died. Only some audio, music etc were finished without him.
Its almost as if the parents know exactly where shes going to end up after the final scene, so they both take a good look at her one last time and once at the two old men. That is just sooo fucking creepy!! Was it supposed to be part of the supposed deal as the film was trying to convey? Also in an interview with Nicole Kidman's when she's asked about Kubrick's death towards the end, she almost immediately tears up as in she just received the news, in total shock,. Was she reminded of how Kubrick was risking his life by making this movie and how extremely tragic it turned out to be?
The movie, and the ending in particular, has a lot in common with a 1984 movie called Crimes of Passion. It's a terrible film, but it plays with extremely interesting themes and concepts. It's about a regular fella who becomes enchanted with a prostitute, a woman who is a successful business person in day and who's being stalked by a deranged priest.
The daughter is dressed in all black like a funeral.
Since it's implied that they were handing their daughter over to those men, when Alice said "fuck", was she implying that she wanted another child?
Stefan that's what I'm wondering
Seriously doubt that
Yes.
You hit the nail on the head! Nobody else has mentioned that
Is this video an experiment to see how low resolution you can make a video before it's flagged?
All along Alice has been in the cult. I think the dead giveaway was her “dream” and the mask on the bed (red herring as if somone broke in and placed it there ) In the end she essentially gives her child to the men in the overcoats away to the cult. And when Bill mentions “forever” she says she dosent like that word. Perhaps she has or knows Bill will be killed.
Yep.
Too bad Nicole Kidman ripped off her face and sewed on a new one...
***** Such a tragedy...
cut her some slack, she is an elderly ginger.
@William Brynn is this a trick question?
@William BrynnNot as much as the random loser "Billy Brynn" 😂
@William Brynn it's not an act.
In the quest of something to fill his frustrated life, Dr. Bill enters "another realm" of vision, he opens, for a moment, his eyes and sees... What most people don't.
But it's dangerous to go further so Alice, his wife, gives him the finest way to "close his eyes again": to fuck. Maybe the most symbolic and greatest film ever made.
she was at the party, and is party of the cult, doesnt want forever...
So was she one of the naked girls at the party getting fucked??
Maybe...
Sebastian Bullo Aw please don't give me that maybe shit lol ok but if she was, is Tom ok with that and still love her or does he not fully know?
I think she wasn't there. I like to believe that because of the finale...
But of course, he's completely full of doubts at that point, so is comprehensible...
I went to Hanley’s Toy Store not for how old or big it was, it was because of this scene.
It’s on Netflix now
Nobody ever mentions that Stanley Kubrick's daughter joined the Church of Scientology in 1995. 4 years before this film released. And according to Kubrick's wife, he and his daughter had a huge fight around this time.
Wow that's a significant detail
@@reallyhappenings5597 It really is. Another thing that informs this film I think, is reportedly Sue Lyon had a relationship with a producer during the making of "Lolita," and if true Kubrick must have been aware of it.
Interesting.
possibly the best movie ending of all time...true classic...
*the worst
the 2 guys who were sitting at the table at the base of the stairs at the party. girl wanders off with them and alice lets her.
To understand what happened to the daughter, you need look no further than 1:09 and 1:18. Pay attention to the big bear on the left of the screen (Alice's right). I highly doubt that was a continuity error.
Agreed.
This scene creeps me out

That explains why she looks back at them.
This was amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Greatest movie of the last 25 years..
Fuck. In the context of the movie that phrase is in ironic way by Kubrick, a mean to forget more trascendent matters of the high classes, all the murder plot etc... Sexually obsessed society is the best way to be blind, eyes wide shut,., and forget other matters. Their eyes were open but out of fear they close them again. This whole movie has many layers, meanings, and one is that I'm sure.
This is my favorite Kubrick film HANDS DOWN. But someone help me out here...I watched this when I was probably in the 6th grade which I know seems like too mature of a film for me at the time but it affected me in such a way that I won’t even go into explaining it(but to put it simply it made me believe in, or understand the concept of an Illuminati-like society). What I need help clarifying is, I remember a scene close to the end of the film, in which Cruise’s character is asked about what he had just experienced in the last 24 hours and he breaks down crying and simply says “I don’t know”. I remember how shook I felt in this scene, and after watching this in 2020 in Hulu, the scene never happened. I’m really hoping there’s actually an original version, because if that scene never gets existed my world will further be mind-fucked my this whole film masterpiece.
I think they deleted one part of the movie it is so weird that he died after the movie came out..
