This movie is a whole metaphor about the JQ


Kubrick knew what he was doing

I don’t know but ‘Ziegler’ sounds Jewish and Sydney Pollack (who plays him) and Harvey Keitel (who originally played him) are both Jewish.

Then again, Kubrick himself is Jewish and I doubt he’s out to demonise himself and his family.

I suspect he’s just being realistic. Jews tend to be high IQ so naturally will succeed their way to the top, and may well be over-represented in any ‘elite’.
