A great movie

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2019)

Kubrick does it again. I've been interested in Stanley Kubrick's movies but after 2001 A Space Odyssey I figured he'll never come close to anything like that again and he didn't until this movie. It's said that it was his last but at least he had the last word about true cinema and not money making garbage for human consumption. Eyes Wide Shut first gave me the idea of what the Bohemian Club was about but it's more secretive then that and less open to the public. It's for very rich and powerful people who don't have a clue what evil they are a part of and how much it destroys. They are the button pushers and puppet masters of the age of politician and dictator greed that we live in. Anything evil is possible with eyes wide shut. The suspense is comparable to 2001 but not from a computer and actually HAL seems more human than some of the faceless characters in this movie. Maybe I'm seeing too much in it but it does make me wonder why Stanley did it. It's one of, or maybe even his best picture.
