Eyes Wide Shut is not a common film, and it certainly does not tell the story of infidelity of a modern affluent couple.
Authored by Stanley Kubrick Via Eyes Wide Shut Movie
Eyes Wide Shut is a truth film about the Cabal of the Illuminati, Satanism, and the price of success and the unknown. Warner was very concerned about this matter, and imposed to delete several key scenes citing the usual problems with the length of the film and promoted various boycotts on the release of the film.
What might have been Eyes Wide Shut if Stanley Kubrick had only completed the film by adding the missing parts, cut away out of fear of those degenerates at Warner Brothers that the world would find out what the Rich’s Grand Galas and Parties really are, as well as their true actions and their real plans. Through the film, Kubrick investigates the dark side of wealth and power, exploring the hidden depths of the elite and the lengths they will go to protect their secrets. The film is a reflection of the corruption and immorality of the powerful, and a warning about the consequences of their actions and the potential for abuse of power.
The dream visions of Alice, and some of the key scenes, were only drawn on the film’s storyboard and never released to the public. Through these dream sequences, Kubrick would have explored the inner psyche of Alice, delving into her deepest desires and fears. The deleted scenes were an integral part of Kubrick’s vision for the film, and their absence has left viewers with only an incomplete understanding of Alice’s inner journey. Kubrick’s exploration of the dark side of human nature and the consequences of our choices remains a powerful and haunting experience even without these sequences.
It is known that some scenes captured Dr. Harford and his family together. These scenes show Dr. Harford spending time with his family, particularly during a dinner and a picnic. The scenes also provide an intimate look into the character, showing how he interacts with his loved ones and how he handles his family life.
Reports suggest that Warner Bros. censored some scenes in the film. The reasons behind this remain unknown, but it is rumored that an important and topical scene was cut around the 70th minute, 1:19:30, repeatedly, as a broken record loop in the thoughts of Dr. Harford. This scene was supposed to show more of Dr. Harford’s life and emotions, but unfortunately it was not included in the film.

This scene/memory remained so vivid and obsessive in Dr. Harford’s mind, becoming the object of his darkest thoughts, tormenting him without giving him peace as he wandered through a New York reality seemingly disconnected from the events of the Satanic Ceremony or Masked Ball he had attended the night before.
In this scene, Dr. Harford was wandering the corridors and rooms of Mentmore Towers when he was drawn to a room with an open door. Out of curiosity, he entered the room to see what appeared to be an altar with a lot of blood and a large red pentagram painted on the wall in front of it. This scene was certainly one of those filmed during the orgy at Mentmore Towers;
however, the purpose of this scene remains unknown, although it has been suggested that it could have been part of a Satanic ritual or some mysterious cult.
It is said that the scene of the altar and pentagram was also recreated during scenes of Bill Harford’s frustration, in which he thought of the woman who had saved him from death. The scene appears to be linked to the mysterious cult the woman came from, which remains unknown.
Alice’s Dream Visions
A man, perhaps her husband, or perhaps the officer she desired, traverses a metaphysical and alien landscape among clouds on rocks suspended in the absence of gravity, then a female figure appears before him and seems to be awaiting his arrival, a woman, Alice, now on a flat and steep summit.
It appears from this sketch that this scene is actually just one of many manifestations with the same approach occurring in that dream-like vision.
Numerous demons emerge from the ground of those suspended peaks and engulf many women like Alice to possess them. Marit Allen, the costume designer of the film, confirmed that these scenes were never shot because they were not logistically very easy to implement: they required thousands of these pairings in different positions and situations.
A pause between scene filming at Mentmore Towers.
