In Reply to: "Eyes Wide Shut". Watched This Film Again A While.... posted by AudioHead on June 05, 2004 at 15:57:22:

I've had the DVD for years and even had the censored film at my theatre when it opened, however, Clark had posted something about the Illuminati the other day on OUTSIDE and I started perusing various links until I came to a site about the Free Masons and Masons.

In one of those links, the author goes through all of the various symbols of the FM/M organizations, stuff on the back of the dollar bill, etc.. He states that in the movie EWS, you can see a particular symbol on the throne/chair that the guy in red (leader of Masonic chapter?) sits in during the end of the orgy scene.

I got the DVD out one night and actually watched most of the film a couple of times. I get the fantasy sequence with NK, but for the most part, it seems to be a movie, a brief snapshot if you will, of trust and the seven year itch on one level, but if Kubrick mirrored the original short story author, then that guy must have been into the Illuminati and/or Masons because that's what that 'orgy' was--a Masonic initiation ritual, not some dream sequence.
