EYES WIDE OPEN

People say Kubrick was killed for exposing the elite. That makes no sense. Eyes Wide Shut wasn’t a leak or a confession. It was an adaptation of Traumnovelle, a book written decades earlier, obsessed with power, hierarchy, and control. Kubrick didn’t expose anything. He translated it into modern language. The system wasn’t hidden. It was shown exactly as it works.
