uniqueness in narrative

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 1999)

while reading previous comments i'm struck by the lack of reference or attention to the voice-over narrative. when paying close attention one, realizes that the narrative is either not accurately reflecting what's in the moving frames or is contradicting them. look and listen closely. ask yourselves why this is? why is kubrick doing this?
also: has anyone noticed the structure of the film resembles that of a fugue? not inconsistent with general musical quality of the film. the music also resounds as it itself acts as a harmony or reflection of the simultaneous action on screen.
