Eyes Wide Shut: Hidden In Plain Sight (2nd Edition) (META-DIALOGUE: COMMUNICATION & UNDERSTANDING)
In Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick crafts a multilayered exploration of communication and understanding through dialogue, visual cues, and symbolic elements. The story revolves around protagonist Bill Harford, a medical doctor caught between his materialistic ambitions and the power of the ultra-wealthy elite. Dialogue is used in unique ways, often functioning as both character interaction and meta-commentary on the film itself.
Kubrick’s deliberate pacing and enigmatic style emphasize how communication—whether through words, phone calls, notes, or visual imagery—is often fragmented and ambiguous. From written messages like the mansion password “Fidelio” to Bill’s repeated line, “I think I have to go over there and show my face,” the film reflects themes of honesty, self-revelation, and societal power dynamics.
Join us as we unpack the complex web of communication in Eyes Wide Shut, where every line, gesture, and symbol invites viewers to think differently and explore the deeper meanings within Kubrick’s cinematic masterpiece.

►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! / @togetheratthejoystick
