were mansion scenes real?

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2005)

I hope nobody reads this that hasn't seen the movie.I have seen the movie EWS and thought it was quite interesting. Tom Cruise was charismatic and the plot was engaging. My question is: are the mansion scenes real. Was there really a secret society? sorry if this is obvious to some. Did the girl really have to die or was it all for fun? My initial response was that it didn't happen, just like Pollack explains at the end but it seemed mysterious when Cruise returned to the mansion and it was locked up. I loved the whole concept of fidelity and morality and how Kubrick causes the audience to question there beliefs, I know i did. I wish Kubrick had more movies.
