In this video, we dive deep into Eyes Wide Shut through the lens of Martin Scorsese’s analysis, focusing on dreams as a central theme. We explore how the film, based on Schnitzler’s Dream Story, challenges traditional dream movie tropes and the confusion it created among audiences. We also analyze key Freudian elements, such as Bill Harford’s repeated showing of his medical ID, which symbolizes the unconscious mind’s primal impulses. Time plays a crucial role in the film’s surreal narrative, as the story unfolds in an almost dreamlike, illogical manner. We also discuss how labeling the film an “erotic thriller” misses the mark, and why it might better fit the slipstream fantasy genre. Kubrick’s complex, visually stunning film is a layered and thought-provoking experience, often misunderstood, but richly deserving of deeper exploration.

►About:
I’m just a regular guy living in a small rural town in Texas. My love for movies and video games has shaped who I am today. I’m especially passionate about the works of Stanley Kubrick and spend a lot of time researching his films and creative vision. When I’m not diving deep into Kubrick’s genius, I’m making my own music or producing fan music videos inspired by the tracks I love.

You can also catch me over on my gaming channel, where my wife and I kick back and play old-school games together—it’s all about good vibes and nostalgic fun. Come hang out with us! https://www.youtube.com/@TogetherAtTheJoystick
