I was RIGHT

Yesterday I posted this theory, here and at the Eyes Wide Shut forum Is this about America's PRESENT Jewish Problem

I was hoping for some healthy discussion on it but the post was immediately deleted from the forum.

So as Willard says of Kurtz in Apocalypse Now "looks like he got the right guys"

Is this about America's PRESENT Jewish Problem?

The "Jewish Problem" throughout history has always been because Jews essentially became the rich and powerful and a need was seen to "cut them down to size".

The Jewish involvement in Dream Story is explained in great detail by EWS co-screenplay author Frederick Raphael in the Introduction of the book at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033807A4?ref_=

The book is of course a must read to understand the movie, which cleverly does a 100 year time shift from the book, updating the Austro-Hungarian "decline with decadence" to that of America. Then is goes 100 years BACK to the situation with the Spanish Inquisition rollup via Beethoven's Fidelio.

The common element to all is the so called Jewish Problem/Solution as described so well by Raphael.

So in the movie Kubrick picks a Jew ie Sydney Pollock and gives him a Jewish name of Zeigler [ie brick-layer so Masonic connections also] and makes him THE "rich and powerful" type, essentially running the country.

As Raphael points out the Austro-Hungarian empire simply "turned a blind eye" on their Jewish Problem, and thing festered until Hitler dealt with it via the FINAL Solution [as he saw it].

Fast forward to the movie and Kubrick seems to be saying America has its Eyes Wide Shut to their own Jewish Problem.

Here is a summary, and just how close it is to the figures Hitler quoted in 1930s.

 "Of the fifty-one(51) senior executives of the major Wall Street banks, trade exchanges, and regulatory agencies, thirty-seven(37) are Jews or have Jewish spouses. This is a numerical representation of 72%. Jews are approximately 2% of the U.S. population.* Therefore Jews are over-represented among the senior executives of the major Wall Street banks, trade exchanges, and regulatory agencies by a factor of 36 times(3,600 percent)."

Kubrick Clues

Here is my working list of clues as I watch this movie.

1.  Hartfords are invited every year to Zeigler Xmas party but do not know a single person, so does Zeigler turn over his friends annually?

2.  Bill does house calls, so given he has very few surgery patients but has an expensive lifestyle one might conclude that he charges heaps for callout for the filthy rich.

3.  There are obvious connections [via Zeigler] between the Xmas party and the orgy so why are Hartfords so welcome at Xmas party but Bill is not welcome at the orgy? - is is an age thing? - is it a sexually satisfied thing?

4.  Zeigler is nervous about having Mandy stay another hour in bathroom, so why did he have her there for party in first place when he could have simply had [paid for] her services any time he wished?

5.  If Mandy was simply at party as a paid hooker [ie on business] then why did she need to be taking drugs?

Hotel California and Fidelio

It seems to me there is a huge amount of "nodding" going on here with Beethoven, Kubrick, and the Eagles.

Fidelio Password

It is pointed out by Frederic Raphael in his Introduction to Dream story that the password Denmark logically suggested the orgy scene was a dream, per:

"With its realistic detail, Fridolin’s adventure seems to belong to the waking world, but does it? The reader must decide, though the use of ‘Denmark’ (as the password when Fridolin is seeking entry to the mysterious house where beautiful women are to be found) echoes, surely deliberately, the fact that Albertine’s dream lover is a Dane. Perhaps there was such an oneiric quality to life in Vienna that, as Schnitzler’s leading character says in Paracelsus, …

only those who look for a meaning will find it. Dreaming and waking, truth and lie mingle. Security exists nowhere. We know nothing of others, nothing of ourselves. We always play. Wise is the man who knows."

Schnitzler, Arthur (1999-07-01). Dream Story (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics) (Kindle Locations 271-276). Penguin Books Ltd. Kindle Edition.

In the movie instead of Cape Cod [for example] Kubrick uses the word Fidelio, and my take on that choice is detailed hereunder.

Fidelio is Beethoven's only Opera and we know Kubrick was somewhat of a Beethoven lover.  Maybe I personally have an advantage here because as a fellow Beethoven lover, in 1976 I saw Overture Leanora #3 performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London and on watching this movie one immediately sees the architecture [as well as the ceremony] inside Somerton as being a re-enactment of such an Opera as Fidelio.

Take a look at how well the magnificent Leonora Overture fits into the same scenario of a mysterious woman rescuing our hero from the "political nasties", two centuries removed  from 1800 for Beethoven with the French in Vienna, 1900 for Schnitzler and the Jewish problem in Vienna to 2000 [almost] for Kubrick in New York and the problem Kubrick seems to have been prevented from exposing.

From Gander to Greer

I have now read the book, Dream Story, upon which the movie is based, and as I sort of expected Kubrick has cunningly "made the transition" OVER the "feminist takeover" of 1970 of so called Western cultures.  The book is set in Vienna in about 1900 and the movie in New York in 1990s.

I am not too sure if "Germanic countries" succumbed to feminism as fully [or if at all] as did America [and Australia, where it essentially originated] but Kubrick seems to have acted with caution by transposing the situation from Europe to America [remember Lolita was NOT transposed in any way].  Besides it seems the main issue of pedophilia [deleted, along with Kubrick himself] dictated that the decaying situation in Austria that spawned child abuse by the elite in 1900 [please read all about that in the book] needed to be replicated in the "decay into American Beauty" of new millennium America.

So we may never know the answer but I was not at all suprised to find that in the book The Gander Principle applied and BOTH wife and husband admitted to being tempted by a member of the opposite sex, and any "animosity" became "understood, noted and put to bed" before the good doctor is called away.

In fact in the book the only thing the wife admonishes the husband for is NOT "rolling her over in the clover" before they got married.

But in the movie Kubrick sets up the exact no-win situation of The Greer Principle for poor Bill where whatever he says gets twisted by Alice in her Female Eunuch [Barbie Doll] costume [see my other threads] into a bash-a-thon against males in general in keeping with the famous song of the sisterhood "I am woman hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore", leaving Bill to walk out "Losing his religion".

That is to say Kubrick could well have simply been inspired for this "script adaption" by the REM song from 1991:

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream, try, cry, why, try
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream
Dream

Tom's right of reply

I say Tom as it seems obvious that Kubrick is "personally targeting" Tom [as Bill] to eventually get Kubrick to where he wants to go, which is the orgy.  So the matters between the "loving couple" [in film and real life] are not important to the movie itself but sure give Kubrick a high class "fishing expedition" on the way.

As I have said, he goes after the "short man syndrome" aspect of Tom as the super star, and more specifically he tests him on how he will react to a "Virtual Eve Syndrome", ie not the real Jules and Jim type Catherine who simply ACTS upon her desires, but an admission from the wife of what might well have happened.

Of course a woman would never make such an admission in the first place as Eve Syndrome is very much "never give a sucker an even break", where the thrill of DECEPTION is upermost, but as I say Kubrick needs Alice to do a "show and tell" to get the show on the road regarding what the rich and wrinkly see as their idea of porn.

So Alice lets fly with her sailor boy story right between the eyes [wide open] of Tom/Bill.  He takes it all in and prepares for his REPLY.  Alas Kubrick turns off the answering machine that would normally operate in "Buddha Time" and Tom is interrupted in "mid-think".

But this is NOT an emergency call at all but in fact a mad sex crazed woman playing out the exact same Female Eunuch role as Alice.  Being such a good doctor he puts aside his OWN personal right of reply and agrees to "show his face".

So the femimen of Kubrick's fishing expedition go into overdrive
