THANK GOD.
NYC is in desperate need of some deliverance!
Bread theme
I've analyzed this movie, and most all of Kubrick's other works and symbolism. If you got questions, shoot 'em.
I caught the two older men + daughter at the end, along with some meaningful toy imagery.
Also, the mother conditions the daughter all throughout the movie.
The rainbow stuff is all over - surface world vs underworld is a big theme. He meets MILICH under the rainbow, which if you were to write his name out in Hebrew/Arabic without vowels, MLCH - Moloch.
I didn't get any confirmed sense that Kidman herself was an orgy girl in real life. In the film, it's alluded to with her dream of the night's events.
Yeah, absolutely worth watching. There's something like 20 minutes missing from the original cut, but still worth a watch.
Kubrick put some much thought and detail into every scene, that it's impossible to not see the underlying narrative once you know some of his tricks.
I believe it, but if you a source, definitely interested.
Beyond that, one more fanboy post.
Did you catch the cadence of Zigler banging the Q ball on the red table?
He re-enacts the banging of the sceptre in the ritual space. And now they're both outside of it, talking around it.
Same red as the carpet in the center of the mansion.
Strangelove is another one. As I've gotten older, learned more of our true history and weaned myself off my teenage-induced porn addiction, I can't help but think of the line:
"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."
Because we've been conditioned since birth to allow authorities to be the arbiters of all justice.
Back in the day, a village would just take care of it themselves.
I sat near one at a agape meal once - and then he started rubbing his hands together like the happy merchant meme while talking about diversity and openness.
Surreal moment & true story.
You know that bank was founded to manage the British Empire's opium trade in Asia, yeah?
Hong Kong Singapore Banking Corp.
All Boys Catholic School education during my formation.
Quick and dirty rundown - Rome was having trouble holding together disparate peoples of the empire - came up with the idea to unify the whole Med with a religion.
Council of Nicaea basically cobbled together the Greco-Roman religion with Judaism, with Egyptian mythology, Phoenician, etc.
Michael is the "war" archangel - and is a carbon copy of Mars.
