Narration
I just heard the script had a narrator. I'd love to know if that helps this movie. As it is now, the movie has no purpose.
shareThe movie is excellent as is, possibly Kubrick’s best.
No way to know if Kubrick had final cut or if the studio meddled after he died. Apparently the long shot of Cruise staring at ‘Mandy’s’ corpse would originally have had narration.
Roger Avery wants to make a ‘Kubrick cut’ as he explains in his recent chat with Joe Rogan (alongside Tarantino)
With all due respect, the movie is quite flawed. The only Kubrick movie worse than Eyes Wide Shut is Spartacus.
shareWrong, it’s fantastic, and everyone is starting to realise it.

Jan and Katharina have both confirmed that nothing has been changed. Jan Harlan in interviews and Katharina sometimes visits Reddit to try and dispel some of these rumors.
shareKubrick showed a cut to Cruise, Kidman and the Warner Bros. executives. Kubrick suddenly died six days later.
There is always going to be conspiracies about that.
We don't know what Kubrick had in his cut.
The people who saw it do.
shareBut we don't. There were probably 5 or 6 people saw Kubrick's cut.
shareKubricks family saw it and do not say anything about cuts by the studio. Jan and Katharina say it wasn't changed except for the added digital people at the orgy to block the sex scenes.

We don't know if that was the case.
Like I said there is always going to be conspiracies about it.

Who is Jan? I thought his other daughter go by Vivian or Abigail Mead. share
Jan Harlan was Kubrick's brother in-law and executive producer.
shareThen he was probably one of the people watched it.
Still we are not completely certain if he was telling the true, I mean both him and Katharina still worked in the industry, hard to imagine they were going to say anything different.
I would think they'd be way more upset about the studio pulling a stunt like cutting the film without approval. Kubricks family and crew did all the post production work to get the film released. I would imagine there would be law suits and a public outcry if the studio did what is claimed.
shareBut the studio had a good reason, Kubrick was dead.
Like I said they still work in the industry, they fight a powerful movie studio for what reason?
There is no money in it.
Nobody is going to care about Kubrick’s vision being preserved more than his family members, they’ve confirmed the finished film is the Kubrick Cut.
It’s time to drop the conspiracy bullshit and accept it.
Hell, the film is Kubrick’s biggest indictment of evil powerful perverted elites, what else do you want?
You people are so naive.
I have no words.
If you were Kubrick's brother, you would fight for Kubrick's artistic integrity, not yours. Kubrick is dead, you are going to sacrifice your career for his vision?
Ah, OK, you’re an insane conspiracy nut who is impervious to reason and evidence.
You could have saved everyone the time by mentioning this in your first post.
The sure sign of you losing argument is that you resort to name calling, that is when you admitted my intellectual superiority.
I get it, you lack the courage to admit you are wrong.
I know better now, that is why I put people like you on my ignore list.
You weren’t being name-called, you were being described.
Important distinction.
It comes as no surprise that you’ll be using ‘ignore’ (aka jamming your fingers in your ears) to make the pesky voice of reason go away so that you can better preserve your delusions 🤦🏻♂️
