HI SHIM! Its a pleasure comment on your channel. first of all , that! Well lets back to the business. I think Stanley Kubrick was and will be the Greatest Filmaker Ever That is a Fact! for me the thing is, The Shining and 2001, a space odissey are a work of a genius the two greater film ever made. Then we have all the rest. The films on Kubrick'S work like a system of engines. He made his own collection that is HIS WORK like and artist, like any other guy in history of art. Dante, Napoleon, Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, Homer and Virgilio. Big etc. Below these two great films are Barry Lyndon, Full Metal Jacket, A clockwork orange and Dr Strangelove, Lolita its a unique piece of obsesion and rebel. Path of Glory its amazing! Spartacus, The Killing and Killer kiss are big steps in his creative process of his mind.

Paths of Glory is perfect

About the enticing Bill to the party, I think Nick might’ve just been bragging/making small talk with his events at the parties and unintentionally entices Bill (after his argument with Alice) for his search of an affair and Bill does tell Nick that he has a family since they talk about their kids and wives and work and stuff when they get their drinks. And when Bill sees the written password and asks for the location, Nick is pretty reluctant about him going to the party not because he needs a robe and a mask but because he knows and acknowledges the danger he’s risking on himself and Bill.

'Doctor Strangelove.'

Eyes Wide Shut was my favorite film. I'll try and view your list.

I feel the same way about Lolita although I did find it interesting how Robert Ager connected the scene of Humbert Humbert in the bathtub to the bathtub in Room 237.

Hey 👋 Shim great 👍 list I knew The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut would be near or at the top of your list based on your previous excellent analysis videos. I personally would have put 2001 and Dr. Strangelove at the top as well but you’ve got them up there.

To me Eyes Wide Shut is the greatest. He tried to warn us

Well organized (and argued!). My favorites are Eyes Wide Shut and probably Lolita -i.e. Kubrick on Love and he really did have something to say on the subject, especially in his last film. Speaking of love, I'm glad you gave a little to Killer's Kiss and didn't exile it to the Not My Cup Of Tea tier. It really started his career and isn't a half-bad underground NY movie.

Great list Kubrick theory I would say eyes wide shut is my favorite Kubrick movie there's so many questions. Beautiful visuals. Such a mystery to the movie. Possibly the most mysterious movie ever made

Not a bad list. Even though Kubrick said he hated Fear and Desire, it was not a bad movie. I had a hard time getting into Killer's Kiss. I totally understand your thoughts on Lolita, but after realizing the Shining (the movie) is told by an unreliable narrator and learning that the book Lolita is also told by an unreliable narrator. I got myself watching Lolita, because I wanted to see if Kubrick was dropping breadcrumbs. And he was. My opinion is nobody got Lolita correct except for Kubrick (and lets not forget that the author Lolita was there helping him with the script). The book is inspired from HH Holmes, Earle Nelson and Burke/Hare. If you do watch Lolita, remember Humbert is narrating the story. He's not going to say he's a monster, but you'll see this guy is the worst of monsters.

Hey Shim, have you heard of the Dekalog film series by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski? Kubrick is quoted saying that "it was the only masterpiece he could think of" and wrote the foreward to the published screenplays. I just finished the series and couldn't stop thinking about the similarities between Dekalog 3 and Eyes Wide Shut: both are set during Christmas, both involve romance, characters in both films view a body in the morgue in the hopes of identifying it, etc. The connections between the two films seems really underexplored across the internet given how much Eyes Wide Shut is analysed and the fact that Kubrick is a known admirer of the Dekalog series. Thought it could be an interesting topic for a future video. Love the channel

Just my opinion barry lyndon should be at the very top

But... It's clearly a Tuxedo AND costume shop. So idk, rick...

You mentioned that the text on the invitation card was written backwards. In the film, the person in the red robe sings or recites a mystically sounding text. It's actually an Orthodox Romanian text that is also presented in reverse.

The Rothchilds, A Billionaire Family from Centuries ago til today, had similar Power-Orgies in England that had Royalty,Other Wealthy People & Political Leaders invited. The Castle is a Replica of the Rothchilds Mansion. I think Kubrick was telling us all to watch closely at the symbolism,the timing & the people involved. In the end, in the Toy store, The Married couple leave their only daughter to be led away by older men- The movie ends there. Very telling about What kind of People Actually Run this planet.

Technology has always existed, we have no idea what is truly possible.

2001 a space odd to see, gee I wonder if that was a look into the future 911 and a space odd to see where the Twin Towers once stood. Kubrick knew something, probably to do with Space-time and CERN, time traveling etc. Those monoliths sure look like Smartphones

The name says it all To everyone You eyes are to see and think of what is around you and not believe the fake bs in the world Your eyes are wide shut Fully closed you can’t think for yourself he is trying to tell you something This was a message he is not allowed to speak on something of importance. Movies can just like books have other meanings

Normalize things that are evil and look where we are today pushing the alphabet agenda Kids being sex trafficking. Now the truth is coming out and Hollywood has been deep in this twisted shit God will have the rule and the devil and his followers will go down in the pits of hell forever. A new day will come and we will all be good again .

What did she whisper in his ear?

Do you think that the shadows from the handrail make it look like they are in a cage! Remember a bear hug can kill! Thank you for making and posting, as always. 😊

It’s a symbol of evil/devil lust demons and what choices to make of it

Also if you look at the face of the bear costume, it errily resembles Wendy's eye features. I think the other commentator is onto something here re: a repressed memory of Wendy's that the evilness of the hotel is surfacing.

Rich ppl

It goes deeper than this scene in the movie something that we’re not supposed to know about.

People should read the novel before making theories about the movie

The film seems to show us the protagonist who doesn't know what to look for, he is waiting to be surprised. I think Kubrick meant that he made 12 films. Number 13 does not seem like part of his glorious collection. Magic is ancestral and knows no regions. Depending on wich! region of the world we speak from and what our culture is, it will depend on where we define magic. We have the orient culure and occidental culture. I said this because Stanley Kubrick's Universe (SK UC) its covers the entire world of cinema, as a whole. Like we went out the horbite and see the Mother Earth form 237.000 meters! I believe that something happens in that circle. but unfortunately nothing that has to do with the script. I mean seriously the story its simple and monotonous. I am gonna make a joke of this...i think that Kubrickwas so tired, that maybe he imagine his picture of 159 minutos in just A Short Movie from 01:10:58 to 01:30:01 That i colud called "explaining the shining, a movie that i made 29 years ago". It is very remarkable how the absence of the camera in the overlook hotel makes the entire sequence of Bill's arrival at the palace have a very important meaning. Not for the movie itself.

I blame the screenwriter. No, sorry. Hal...was Hal all the time. The two astronauts doesnt give us a clue of enemsty. They are only victims of greater power...through tech. The playful, gamer vision that Stanley's mind has is exceptional.

Beautiful Video! I'd like to think in the paint of Diego Velazquez, Las Meninas. I recomend the start of the Michel Foucault's "Las palabras y las cosas" The words and things. Its an amazing reflection of light, paint, art creation and the civilized world we are living. And the principles of cinematic and optical cience. Recently i saw a movie called Blink Twice, with Channing Tatum. Its a good, only good movie. I didnt liked very much the end...but its all right. Well the art of that movie had a a lot of things or references of Kubrick´s film. Also another movie, Kind of Kindness. With the great Willem Dafoe. There is a story what counts that The Beatles approached Stanley Kubrick asking him adapt the trilogy of The Lords Of The Rings.

I agree... paranoia is a fascinanting word. I remember a film called DontLookUp from 2021. Its has a very comic begining...and in a few words the piece resume the reflects of the paranoid mind of some humans that we live on these days of the crazy and alienating twenty one century.

It represents the twisted Hollywood deviant sex lives

“The idea that created the National Parks” was most certainly not “powerful people conquering nature.” 🤦

Now i understand...Kubrick master mind was playing with all of us. With those miniatures and models. Metaphors of that cosmic psychosis, the sound and music was crucial for saying all this. i am very shocked and surprised. I knew that behind The Shining and Stanley's figure was part of the imagination of The Simpsons. Looking at the reptile I can't stop thinking about the sisters of Marjorie Jacqueline Simpson.

02:00 We are living those moment in the 21 century. "The Joker Times" the human became in a toy or puppet...the invasion of the social-media and the effects of mass-media society in a way. I insist, the technology or the idea of hiden tech in Kubrick is essential for understand his universe. Having said that, I would like to recommend these great authors like Arthur Schopenhauer, Frederick Nietzsche, the great existencial view of philosophical horror of Thomas Ligotti, Jean Paul Sartre, William Borroughs, Michel foucault, Nick Land, Vatimo, Jameson, Bifo Berardi, Slavoj Zizek, Mark Fisher and a long long Etc Thanks for your channel.

Either way, the bear costumed person is in a bit of a pleading or subservient posture.

Okey i think i got it... the laberynth its like the palace and backwards. And i have a good reason...Kubrick spaces have changed for ever since he made Barry Lyndon. I mean the idea of Game Society or i dont know who to say it or put it. The interreleted with the animation imaginary. The message...the final message in the film is. On my criterion that We Are All Toys in this world. I cant forget the sound of Road Runner or Mighty Angelo image from The Shining. When i see all those bears and tigers in the TOY STORE. May be the final message isnt very clear or very especific. This point its kind of strange or vague. In a few words...No bad and Good Guys. That is for the Bible imaginary. The angle and shut of the total and complete circle, its and Orient idea or emotion. The idea of completeness. What only Meditation can give, for example. All those creatures with mask are like the comic V from vendetta. And the metaphore here is the sincerity that Bill Harford transmits.The idea of the Caretaker in the spaces of an imaginary NYC builted in london.

OMFG.... It was a DOG SUIT!! Read the GD book!!!! The man in the tuxedo is Horace Derwent, the mysterious owner of the Overlook Hotel, and the man in the costume is Roger, his sexually submissive lover....

Great observation! The movie is a masterpiece.

well Jack say to Danny "you are tired to bombing the universe" or something like that.

actor Danny Lloyd stay looking the camera as it moves. Then Halloran talks to Wendy and we see as Wendy make a step get out the picture and then Danny connect with Halloran's shining look. Amazing direction moment.

Fur baby blow job

the bear had a bare behind, ready for gay butt secks

I think this was my first jumpscare when i randomly flipped onto this channel on TV as a kid

I think the bear is more of a English reference and I don't know why, and I wouldn't know what it means but it reminded me of I'm the walrus

dude getting blown by Winnie the pooh 😂

You over thought this one, It's just a furry giving head to some dude..... The kind of stuff that goes on in hotels all over the world.

jeez, i've always assumed it was reference to pedo stuff and somehow implied the boy was being sexually abused.

There is not going back!!Go.

This scene was maybe the top 5 scenes in the movies that felt completely surreal. It was unexpected, after the movie was over i thought about this for a long time
