Eyes Wide Shut : My View
Observations:-
Dr.Bill Harford is interrupted in high tension situations:-
Everytime in the movie whenever Dr.Bill is in a high tension situation he is interrupted by someone, maybe a silent hint of something bad will happen
1. When he & Alice argue , call comes in with news of death of his patient
2. When Marion tries to get close to him her partner Carl arrives at the place
3. When Dr.Bill is with Domino his wife Alice calls him
4. At the orgy party a talk with mysterious woman is interrupted twice by the butler
5. At Ziegler's party talk between 2 models & Dr.Bill and Nick Nightingale & Dr.Bill is interrupted by butler
Things are not as they seem
There are many things in this movie which can't be taken at face value
1. The talk between Dr.Bill & Ziegler never gives clear idea whether the woman who redeemed Dr.Bill at orgy was Mandy. Dr.Bill asks was Mandy the woman at party? On which Zeigler says yes but neither Dr.Bill asks was she the one who redeemed him nor Zeigler says the same.
2. The lighting at Sharky's cafe ( moustache shape with candles) can be also seen at Zeigler's house when he asks Dr.Bill to come over for the last conversation.
3. Zeigler tells Nick Nightingale was sent back home but during the orgy he can be seen escorted ( blindfolded )somewhere in the Sommerton Mansion. Though desk clerk at hotel tells a story but he seems quite suspicious to me. He maybe staged by Zeigler to do so because he had Dr.Bill followed.
All women who meet Dr.Bill are having life threats somehow
1. Mandy is OD'd & unconscious at Zeigler's party & later dies
2. Marion ( daughter of dead patient ) is nearly in trauma
3. Domino is HIV positive
4. The mysterious woman at orgy who redeems Dr.Bill is at life risk
5. Alice ( Dr.Bill's wife ) is sleeping beside the mask he wore at party indicating a threat to her
6. Daughter of Mr.Milich ( Rainbow clothing store owner ) is subjected to exploitation by her own father.
Dream & fantasy for one is reality for another
This is the most intriguing at contrasting part of the movie & it took a while for me to catch it .
Somehow the fantasy or dream of one person is reality of life for another person.
Alice fantasises about a naval officer & in reality Dr.Bill meets a parade of women from all walks of life who are erotically interested in him.
Alice dreams about having intimacy with many men at same time & sobs over it feeling ashamed, this is just the reality of life for Dr.Bill as the sequence in Alice's dream has just been witnessed by Dr.Bill in reality at the orgy party.
Questions for me yet to be answered
1. Was Mandy really the woman who redeemed Dr.Bill or her death was due to overdose or she was killed to keep her shut?
2. How did Dr.Bill's mask end up on his pillow ?
3. The 2 masked men who nod at Dr.Bill at orgy any guesses who they can be ?
4. Was Zeigler telling the truth ?
5. How was Red Cloak sure that Dr.Bill was a family man ? As he threatens of dire consequences to Dr.Bill's family
6. Dr.Bill like everyone is masked then how did those 2 masked men ( nodding at him) & the mysterious woman warning him recoginze it was Dr.Bill?
7. Was Zeigler really the Red Cloak or 1 of the two men who nod at Dr.Bill ?

Well I am as suspicious as you are! Can't defy anything actually
ReplyDeleteBut I definitely feel Mandy was the one who was indicated by Ziegler to Dr. Bill at orgy party And I also feel maybe red cloak person is none other then Ziegler or somehow related or hightly authorised member of orgy party group
That's why he had Dr Bill followed as it Dr. Bill was threat to orgy party somehow
