I watched Eyes Wide Shut for the first time in about 26 years. It is now known that the film released in theaters does not resemble what Stanley Kubrick had planned. He was promptly killed before the film came out and the studios rearranged it.
Roger Avary recently spoke about this on the Joe Rogan podcast. He said that Kubrick’s real version was heavily edited and changed. There have also been numerous cast and crew members who have spoken about what the film was supposed to be. Avary and others have the original production script.
(By the way, if you ask any AI program about this, they will immediately say that all of this is a conspiracy theory. However, you can break that lie by telling AI about Roger Avary, etc., and then the AI will capitulate and give you all of these details. You can break AI and get it to turn off the programmed lying.)
Kubrick shot the scenes planning to have a hidden third-person narrator mock the Tom Cruise character, Bill, as a pretentious fool who thought he was among the elite ruling class when, in fact, he was just an exposable stooge.
That’s why the version you see seems to have some bad acting or cheesy cringe moments. That was by design. That missing narrator would have completely changed the Bill character. Instead of being a guy just drifting through a weird dream, the narrator would have exposed Bill Harford’s total arrogance. Bill thought he was part of the high-society elite just because he was their doctor. The narrator would have made it clear that Bill was a disposable servant.
In this true version of the story, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are not heroes uncovering a secret society. They are regular people who get blackmailed and broken by the evil elite. They become complicit.
After Bill sneaks into the masked orgy ritual at the mansion, Victor Ziegler, played by Sydney Pollack, uses the billiards room meeting to threaten him into submission. Bill realized that if he wants to keep his money, practice, and life, then he has to accept the official lies and shut up.
That scene was directed and acted very well. Sydney Pollack perfectly displays the perverted rationalization of his character Victor. Every time Bill exposes Victor for doing something terrible, Victor immediately explains why it was justified, using psychopathic lying skills. When Victor rubs Bill’s shoulders and says, “life goes on, until it doesn’t”, he’s making light of the death of the woman, as if her life doesn’t matter. To these satanic freaks (i.e., the Epstein class), killing other life doesn’t matter. However, they greatly respect their own life in a double standard.
It’s a common perverted logic used by the real world elite. Tucker Carlson recently exposed how he confronted Trump for starting the Iran war and how it would lead to millions of deaths in a World War III. Trump shrugged it off and essentially said something like, “we all die anyway”. Killing millions of people in world wars is rationalized by these elite freaks because we all die anyway, or scripture wants it per “end times” or the Apocalypse. But they turn around and pretend to believe in the sanctity of life when they talk about never forgetting about the holocaust, or justifying the genocide of Gaza because a few Israeli soldiers were killed.
Stanley Kubrick is known for planting details in the background. No extra actor or prop is by accident.
The final scene at the toy store, toys resemble the cloaked men in the orgy scene. The child plays with a board game called the Magic Circle, which symbolizes the ceremony at the orgy mansion. Bill and Alice stand talking, distracted by their own marital problems, while they deliberately look the other way as their own child is targeted right behind their backs. Two old men, pedophiles, wandering the aisles steal their daughter. They are the same actors seen in the beginning of the film at Victor’s holiday party.
That is what the ending really means. When everyday people choose willful blindness and personal comfort over the truth, they become complicit. It’s why the film is called Eyes Wide Shut. People will look away, fully knowing.
Kubrick’s version is very dark.
In real life, the big question I have about these children who are trafficked to Jeffrey Epstein, Hollywood parties, etc., is where are the parents? They are often American girls, not from some orphanages in Ukraine. We now know that there were plenty of Palm Beach families willing to let their 13 year-old daughters disappear for weeks or months at a time. They looked the other way because they were getting money.
In the film, the scenes at the costume store depict the Epstein Island type of trafficking of girls above age 10. The owner of the costume store was pimping out his own daughter. The more satanic sacrificing of younger children is very quietly suggested at the closing scene when Bill’s daughter is taken away by two pedophiles.
Had this movie come out the way Stanley Kubrick wanted it to, it would have opened our eyes wide, 26 years ago, long before the Epstein files. That’s why the movie could not have been allowed and why they killed him.
You really have to wonder how Kubrick could have come up with a theme as strange as this?
It was closely based on a book from the early 20th Century. Kubrick added the satanic elite part.
