Kubrick's unfinished symphony

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 2000)

As a very interested person in Kubrick's works , after three times watching , I found "Eyes Wide Shut" unfinished !
Does the perfectionist Kubrick totalize the whole created suspense meanwhile the erotic masquerade (orgy party) until Bill's reading the newspaper (with Mandy's death news) , with a sequence of only the wicked Victor Ziegler's monologues ? Does the creator of great suspenses , such as : HAL9000's plot against Dr. Bowman in "2001-..." , or the Viet-Kong sniper sequences at the end of "Full Metal Jacket" , or "Barry Lyndon" 's duel , prepare the whole details for the masquerade , Bill Harford's detecting about Nick & Mandy & receiving two warnings from the hosts of the masquerade , to leave them all aborted ? What is the profit of magnifying the danger of the masquerade opposite to suffering from Aids (which Bill could be addicted to by that prostitute) ? On what intention does Kubrick emphasize on the man in balcony & his nodding at Bill in the masquerade ... or why does camera emphasize on Mandy's body in the beginning party at Ziegler's house , in the masquerade , & in the morgue of the hospital (after her death) ... or why does the masquerade begin with that kind of religious formality performance & why is the performer of the masquerade resemble to a religious man ... what does that INDIAN religious song (performed at the masquerade) mean & why is it used ??? If we are supposed to be satisfied with Ziegler's monologues , why does the reception man in Nick's hotel emphasize on escorting Nick by two angry men ? Does Kubrick intend to deceive his audience ? What is the intention of inserting these plans & sequences in the film ? Does he intend to prolong his film (he who repeated his shots even to 200 times) ? Is it probable that he has used some scenes in vain ?
On the other hand , what is the profit of pursuing the dramatized affair of the masquerade ? Inserting any mystery in present structure of the film (Alice & Bill 's married life & the rights that everyone has in this kind of human relations) could lead to what result & would solve which problem ? Supposing more complete suspense & drama for the masquerade , Bill's odyssey along the night would reach to which different conclusion ? Does completing the suspense like other Kubrick's works , change the present conclusion (accepting individualistic abilities & choices in matrimony) ? Does Alice's mistake (or sin ?!!) & Bill's probable revenge could lead to a more dangerous result (than Aids) for Harfords family (Alice , Bill , & their little child) ? The danger of disgrace , shame , scandal , social situation damage , & perhaps family destruction & social injury at last .
In this supposition , Kubrick's permanent feature would happen : " POWER & its dangerous consequences " , this time in married life as the most personal relations in society which somehow could damage society . Kubrick has always pointed at this feature :

Machinism & its dangers in "2001 - A Space Odyssey".

Harshness & moral damage in people's behaviour & its dangers in "A Clockwork Orange".

Militarism & martial power & its dangers in "Dr. Strangelove or :..." & "Full Metal Jacket" & "Paths of Glory".

Aristocracy & noble traditions & its dangers in "Barry Lyndon".

Superstitions & its dangers in "The Shining". & ...

Suppose to complete the suspense of the masquerade through an undesired scandal which happens to Bill , ruining his social situation & destroy his family , then we could see that Alice & Bill 's playing with fire would lead to a frightening firing out of their control . A fire in which they (& their little child) would burn . And as a family is a social unit , their family damage would be a social injury . A danger that "INDIVIDUALISM" would create for society , the power of personal abilities if they are not limited to any border (in this case , to moral limits) , the supposition which is more probable in Kubrick's works . Here , the suspension in the masquerade affair would be attractive for people to pursue the story , just like Omberto Echo's pivot in "The Name of the Rose" which has a more great role in transferring religious concepts than a criminal story .
In my opinion , the present structure of the film has numerous unusual sequences & plans to Kubrick's works while it has many missings inside . It was not finished ! Kubrick's unexpected passing by didn't permit him to finish his last symphony of "POWER & its dangerous consequences".
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?!!
