Illuminati symbolism and analysis of . It revolves around the difficulty of the protagonist couple played by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as they struggle with themes of sexuality, monogamy, and distinguishing the difference between dreams and reality (hence the name Dream Novella). With all of the theories involved with Stanley Kubrick’s films, (such as The Shining, of which I have an in- depth breakdown and explanation for in my The Shining symbolic analysis post), EWS appears to follow along the same path of a hidden expose. I’ll pull together an all- encompassing post to cover as many of the relevant theories for the film, including my theory that it is based on the Illuminati- shadow group’s obsession with goddess worship.

The film Eyes Wide Shut was Stanley Kubrick’s last film, and he based it off the novella by Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler entitled Traumnovelle, or Dream Novella.

Kubrick worked on the film’s script for almost 3. You can watch the full expose (with more images) here on my You. Tube channel. His unforeseen death a few months prior to the release of the film stoked conspiracy theories that the Illuminati took him out because he simply revealed too much this time. Warner Bros went on record as having digitally altered several scenes post- production and claim that it was in order to get an R- rating, even though we’ve never seen the uncut version. So did Kubrick intend to convey a message of elite obsession with goddess worship through magical sexual orgies? I think so. Before I get into the different aspects of the film, I’d like to introduce a few pieces that influenced and help me get through the film that I’ll reference in the breakdown later.

Introducing Sociology A Review of Eyes Wide Shut by Tim Kreider. Tim Kreider is an essayist and cartoonist who provides commentary via multiple channels.

He provided a great, in- depth essay on the film and some of the theories behind it symbolism, which can be retrieved at Visual- Memory. I highly suggest reading his essay, but I will refer to it a few times throughout this post.

Here’s a great paragraph to show what I’m talking about on how well it is written: The real pornography in this film is in its lingering depiction of the shameless, naked wealth of millennial Manhattan, and of its obscene effect on society and the human soul. National reviewers’ myopic focus on sex, and the shallow psychologies of the film’s central couple, the Harfords, at the expense of every other element of the film- the trappings of stupendous wealth, its references to fin- de- siecle Europe and other imperial periods, its Christmastime setting, even the sum Dr. Harford spends on a single night out- says more about the blindness of the elites to their own surroundings than it does about Kubrick’s inadequacies as a pornographer. For those with their eyes open, there are plenty of money shots. The. Konformist. com posted up an interpretation by Adam Gorightly that sees the film as one in which Kubrick tries to expose MK ULTRA mind programming into sex slaves. This idea of MONARCH programming has been postulated in musical acts such as Britney Spears and Lady Gaga.

We see Alice grooming her daughter, Helena throughout the film to follow in her footsteps, which could arguably be to become the next sex slave or goddess. There are several other good articles and references including Vigilant.

Citizen and Jay’s. Analysis. Let’s get into it now.

Alice Harford (Nicole Kidman’s character) is standing between two sets of columns/pillars which some say are symbolic of Boaz and Jachin, the two pillars that were at the entrance to Solomon’s Temple (and see in Freemason temples, which is explained further in the Decoding Illuminati Symbolism: Saturn and the Black Cube, & Saturn Worship post). It’s also theorized that the drapes behind her are symbols for the pyramid; an esoteric Illuminati symbol. The villain in Dan Brown’s book The Lost Symbol has Boaz and Jachin tattooed on his legs; and the name of the villain is Mal’akh, which is a reformed version of the name of the ancient horned deity Moloch (or Molech) as well. Alice Harford is the female protagonist in this film, and it should be noted that her red hair is synonymous with the Scarlet Woman that Aleister Crowley identified as the the goddess of his religion, Thelema.

The Scarlet Woman represents the female sexual impulse and liberated woman, which Alice Harford alludes to desiring to be in her true form later in the film. She is representative of female goddesses, and the occult just love to have symbolism revolving around the Triple Goddess (three forms of goddess; one of which is the Earth Mother, aka Scarlet Woman, aka Babalon). We’ll revisit this again when we meet Alice and Bill’s daughter. William Harford; or . This implies that she has been enlightened by the illuminated ones.

This theme will pop up throughout as she gives us this hint of being in the know through the film. When you’re watching the film, note the size and beauty of the Harford apartment. It has been speculated that this proves Bill’s connection to these elite types who help support this standard of living. Tim Kreider’s article says the following: Kubrick and his collaborator, Frederic Raphael, discussed exactly how much money a New York doctor like Bill Harford must earn per year. The Harfords’ standard of living raises questions about their money, and where it comes from–from Bill’s sparsely scheduled private practice, or the sorts of under- the- table services we see rendered upstairs at the party?

Harford is on call to that class of person who can afford not to wait in emergency rooms or die in hospitals–people like his friend Victor Ziegler, whose name denotes him as one of the world’s winners. It’s all part of painting the scene of a world much disconnected from the other 9. The comparisons are also drawn between the mysteriously well- to- do Harfords against the much better off Ziegler. Movies For Apple Ipod The Wolfpack (2015). Later you see the pinnacle of the elite (the Rothschilds) in the Somerton mansion which blows the other ones away. The first instance where Alice displays her superior goddess status is that of her knowledge and awareness (as opposed to Bill’s) when he asks where his wallet is, and she knows it’s on his nightstand. She has the knowledge, while he is clueless.

About a minute later, he asks what the name of the babysitter is, even though she literally just told him her name when she asked if he gave the phone numbers for Roz. In the opening scene we see Alice and Bill’s daughter, Helena: The name Helen has ties to the ancient pagans because of Helen of Troy in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Zeus and the most beautiful woman in the world. She also has red hair which is also symbolic of the Scarlet Woman again. The name Helena could be inspired by Aleister Crowley yet again, this time through the Gnostic Catholic Church, which is not a Christian church, but rather another occult organization stemming from Crowley’s Thelema, and affiliated with the Ordo Templi Orientis secret society.

One of the prominent members of the church is named Helena Apiryon, and she wrote their creed in 1. And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name BABALON. And I believe in the Serpent and the Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in His name BAPHOMET. Here we see the name Babalon, which refers to the Scarlet Woman (which we’ll see shape shifting here in a few minutes.
