the jogan experience cubric is was such
an odd one like his films are so
different and he was a weird guy too he
did like complex mathematics in his spare
spare
time I do complex mathematics in Spare
Time nothing wrong with that no um uh
yeah he's a weird guy but he was also I
think thinking three steps ahead of
everybody at any kind of given moment I mean
mean
to be honest I was just thinking I just
pulled my script from Eyes Wide Shut I
had a script that was from set and I was
reading it uh over the weekend and I saw
that um uh it has this I mean I've known
this for a long time but I started
really thinking about it over the
weekend it's missing a narration it's
missing a third person narration that uh
was originally in in the movie that's
because the movie was recut and and
changed after his death and and and they
will um deny it but as a student of
cubric I'm watching the movie and I'm
like well cubric wouldn't do that curi
wouldn't do that either curi would have
trimmed this scene I didn't know they
recut it after his death okay so
apparently they finished it well that's
the that's the party line that's the
party line but I think that they changed
the the notes the close-ups the the
inserts of the notes I think those are
changed it's missing a narration it's
definitely missing a narration uh you
know a third person narration like that
scene where he sees the The Prostitute
who's died he's at the morg and he's
looking at her and he's like leaning
over her it's a bed for narration
there's this whole thing what they do
instead because they couldn't say that
cubric finished the movie because they
hadn't done the recording of the
narrator yet and so maybe they just kind
of cluded it together except there's an
entire thread that's kind of
been squashed squashed in that film and
that's the the two men that are
throughout the movie are constantly in
the background of the film who
eventually in the final shots of the
film you see like uh Tom Cruz and Nicole
Kidman in that final scene in the toy
store when she's looking at the
Rosemary's baby bassinet which is
totally cubric saying something and they
never take their eyes off their daughter
until the moment they take their eyes
off and the final line of the movie is
coming up you see those two guys walking
off with the daughter they're taking her
away they've given their daughter to the
ped cult that's what's happened at the
end of the movie and there's an incident
where when they first screened the movie in
in
England uh people who were outside
apparent this is all secondhand by the
way there were people who were outside
of the theater who could hear inside of
the theater curic yelling at all the
executives and saying it's my movie you
can't cut it you can't cut my
film blah blah blah blah big argument
going on then he dies like 4 days later oh
oh
jeez so somebody went in and finished
the movie but I think when they finished
the movie they hid the film The the
movie got changed into something
else and I would love to finish that
film I like I'm
like have you ever made an attempt I've
thought about it and um reading the
script over the weekend I started
seriously thinking about it well
somebody should recut this or somebody
should so it just be a matter of
recutting it with narration well yes and
no there's obviously Miss there would be
missing footage now there things have
been removed and and is
that no not unless you crack it open and
there's no way anybody they would never
but hold here's the thing now we have ai
well I know that's you're one step ahead
of me I'm one step I I've actually been
