What a dilemma, Kubrick finally made his masterpiece over a prolonged period of 18 months, and then he takes sick leave before public scrutiny. Well, Kubrick you have produced a long awaited sedation from Hollywood commercialism a soon to be , modern day classic. Kubrick film art, imagination and eye has not only stunned the audiences around the world but has left a profound meaning of a altruistic filmologist.EWS contrasts male and female non fantasy, sexual encounters and realistic maritial affairs(nightmare) occuring in our time. Fantasy or reality, sorry, but only the man Knows or does he? The suspense and lead up to the operatic orgy gained more pleasure for the audience when the delivery arrived, leaving them intrigued by the the castle, the masks and fastidious(prostitutes) male figureheads not disclosed.
