Or was my overthing brain just randomly made this connection and I ended up being correct?

And I am guessing the movie tells us that infidelity leads us to HIV, Pedophilia(w/incest i guess) or worse death?

And the scene where the boys tell him Faggot was to show him feeling insecure and less of a man??

Damn what a movie.

Muy completa y no tan irreal ni loca, con advertencias, estética, misterio, realidad...

I'm about to watch the movie with my girlfriend. Wish my luck people!

Because he felt his time was coming to an end, and this was a virtuous thing to do? Or was it just to provoke or shock and give a wink of knowing to the people he knew were doing these things. These Diddy parties, epstein etc things that have only entered the public consciousness more than twenty years later.

Another thing I have thought of is what does Tom Cruise think of all this? I have to assume he was never involved with these kinds of people in his social life, because he would surely have the foresight to know this will all come to light eventually. I guess what Im saying is, he probably wasn't involved with all the creepy shit in Hollywood if hes in a moving exposing it. I know revealing these things to the general public isn't the only message of the movie, but I have seen people outright deny that its even a theme in the movie and its just about infidelity and blah blah...

Here is my thought. The central question of the movie seems to be whether Ziegler was lying to Bill about the “ruse”. Whether the model died on her own, etc.

Under Ziegler’s assertion, the hosts quickly realized Bill was a fraud, and used Mandy to “scare the shit out of him.” But doesn’t the timeline not hold up?

Ziegler says they knew Bill was a fraud principally in two ways - that he showed up in a taxi, and the receipt in his jacket. However, when the hosts would’ve found the receipt in his jacket, the ritual had already stated, and Mandy was a part of it. There would have been no time to let her know / start the ruse.

I assume this point has been made in here before but wanted to put it out there to see everyone’s thoughts!

Has anyone here seen it? Would appreciate some critical assessments, sans spoilers. Is it worth my time?

I have watched this movie dozens of times and Idk why it just sunk in during this evening. While sitting down to play my guitar Im watching eyes wide shut and fully realizing what a despicable, narcissistic, gasligting, manipulative bitch Alice is. She is a straight up sociopath.

Why did Kubrick write her this way?

There's absolutely nothing redeemable she has to offer Bill or their relationship or their family.

She literally relishes in sexually demoralizing Bill. It's actually pretty sad. I am not as deep in the rabbit hole over this movie as most of you, but recently have been picking up more on the suggested thematics Kubrick was trying to express, as opposed to the visual themes that I only observed in previous viewings.

I have been trying to rent SK13 for a while now, but it always rejects my payment. I have tried reaching out to them without any luck.

I'd be willing to compensate somebody upfront in some way, if they'd be willing to rent SK13 and have it sent to my email.

It's only 5 bucks. If anyone can help, DM me.
