Interesting, as I recently re-watched the film with my sister (deciphering symbolism, etc.). I first saw Eyes Wide Shut in a packed movie theatre in NYC when it came out. At the end of the film — Everyone Boooed! Literally “Boo”ed! The audience was floored, strangers among us discussing how much this overly-hyped film SUCKED! We were all so pissed that this Stanley Kubrick (sp?) - two years in the making film could suck so bad. Waste of money!

Then, Stanley Kubrick died of a heart attack (suicided??) before the film was even shown to the masses. He never saw his finished work. There, allegedly, is 20 minutes of footage that was cut from the finale. Gee?! Wonder what was shown/told on that lost/stolen/suppressed footage? The janky ending made everyone BOO with disappointment.

I don’t do the name game. But, if interested, look up Fiona Barnett (sp?)

Sidenote- Kubrick had an alleged IQ nearing 200. Unheard of.
