Kubrick is announcing, even in the movie’s advertisements, that the subject is the hidden acts of a

In the movie poster for A Clockwork Orange, the main character has an all-seeing-eye cufflink and
the letter “A” resembles a pyramid. Also, in the movie poster for Eyes Wide Shut we see the image
of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise reflected in a mirror, or “looking glass.” This evokes references
to Through the Looking Glass which was Lewis Carroll’s sequel to Alice in Wonderland. These
books were about an imaginary world, or perhaps they were about seeing the world as it really is.
Significantly, a mirror always presents a reverse image. What we see in a mirror is the opposite of
reality. The movie title Eyes Wide Shut is a statement on the condition of society. It could equally
be a statement of the condition of the church, for I am reminded of the following Scripture reference.

Isaiah 42:19-20
Who is blind but My servant, or so deaf as My messenger whom I send? Who is so blind as he that
is at peace with Me, or so blind as the servant of Yahweh? You have seen many things, but you do
not observe them; Your ears are open, but none hears.

release date of this movie, was his attempt to draw men’s attention to one of the greatest deceptions
