poster appears at the top of this chapter. I have, however, read both brief and in depth reviews of
these films, for they have been the subject matter of many authors, documentarians, and conspiracy
theorists. Kubrick often devised subtle means to convey esoteric messages in his films. These
messages often focused on a world ruled by a global elite who operate in secret and commit
abominable deeds. The movie Lolita incorporates a theme of pedophile rings where the elite traffic
in the bodies of young children. A Clockwork Orange explores the subject of mind control and
behavior conditioning. 2001, A Space Odyssey is ultimately an exposition of the religious beliefs of
the global elite. The black monolith which repeatedly appears in the movie, always advancing man
to some new state in his evolutionary development toward godhood, is the prima materia of
Alchemy, the Philosopher’s Stone. It is symbolic of Satan in the guise of the Great Architect of the
Universe, a Prometheus who defies the God of heaven to bring man forbidden knowledge as an act
of benevolence to help man achieve his ultimate destiny.
Most people reading this description of 2001, A Space Odyssey would be inclined to shake their head
in derision and ask, “Where is this man getting this stuff?” Kubrick was so skilled at hiding his
messages in plain sight that few have ever discerned them. Kubrick’s final movie, Eyes Wide Shut
focuses on the secretive activities of a global elite who meet in grand settings to conduct orgies and
other abominations. Kubrick died of a heart attack three days after completing editing of the film.
Some contend he was murdered because the film exposed too much of the activities of the global
elite and that the movie was re-edited before its release three months later with much of its most
damning content removed. I have no opinion to offer in this regard, not having any evidence to
substantiate or refute such claims. Jay Weidner is an individual who believes Kubrick was killed by
the government. In his documentary, Kubrick’s Odyssey, he states the following.
In the film “Wag the Dog,” Dustin Hoffman Plays a movie producer hired by the CIA to fake an
event. His name in the movie is Stanley. In that movie, Stanley mysteriously dies after telling
everyone he wants to take credit for the event he helped to fake.
Stanley Kubrick died soon after showing Eyes Wide Shut to the executives at Warner Brothers. It is
rumored that they were very upset concerning that film. They wanted Kubrick to re-edit the film but
he refused. I personally was in France when Stanley died and I saw, on French television, outtakes
from the forthcoming Eyes Wide Shut. I saw outtakes from several scenes that were never in the
finished film.
Warner Brothers has even come out and admitted that they re-edited the film. To this day they refuse
to release a DVD of Stanley Kubrick’s cut. Not only is this a direct violation of the agreement that
Kubrick had with Warner Brothers, but it also means that we will probably never see the un-edited
version of this film.
Understanding Stanley Kubrick’s obsessiveness and his profound use of seemingly innocuous details
to convey a message, is necessary to any review of his work. Before Stanley Kubrick died he had
th
determined the date that Eyes Wide Shut would be released. He chose the date of July 16 , 1999. The
th
date was not chosen arbitrarily, for it was the 30 anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch. If, as many
contend, Stanley Kubrick was employed by NASA to fake the Moon missions, not only the date, but
the title of the movie, and elements of the movie posters, contain an enigmatic message. Look again
at the poster for the movie at the head of this chapter. Note the one eye open symbolism which is so
