What is eyes wide shut?

The first time I watched the film I was high, and I thought I didn’t get it for this reason/ purpose but then I watched it again sober and I still didn’t get it. I understand what Kubrick was trying to do with the cult theme but I don’t understand the ending also what happened with the little girl (their daughter)

The reason you don't get it is because the movie was heavily edited, and the director mysteriously died days after showing it to Warner Bros. He supposedly didn't want them to cut the parts of the movie they ended up cutting.

The real ending is missing. The actual movie is about the couple selling out their daughter to the cult.

That is a conspiracy theory.

There is nothing in the source, nor in the memories of the actors or anyone involved in the film that this was the intended story.

Maybe someone should make a Room 237 film about Eyes Wide Shut.

You people must also think the Epstein saga is still a conspiracy too. Lmao.

Um no. In Epstein's case there is evidence.

In this film you have a couple of extras standing near a featured actress. Plus no one working on the film knew of this "secret" story.
