Very interesting and great article!! The one thing I noticed in that film was Alice is always looking into mirrors aka a looking glass.. and that there’s multi colored (rainbow) lights in all the scenes except in the ritual room, I guess suggesting that’s where the rainbow ends, with their sick rituals.. there is a view of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar in the film and she’s supposedly the goddess of fertility and sexual desire, so are the elite doing rituals to ancient gods? With Kubrick’s perfectionist style and attention to detail I’m sure a whole book could be written about the messages he left behind in this film. Great work Paul 👏🏻

It's the Christmas lights, right? - it used to mark the beginning of the season when masks were worn.

Great article Paul. Way to tie this to what's happening today. The main character's names "Bill" and his wife "Alice" - sort of interdasting don't you think? (Q: Alice & Wonderland), kek!

And then there is the rumor of the disagreement between Kubrick and studio executives concerning the cutting of a portion of the film portraying a sacrifice. Never proven, but someone knows the truth.

You can also add in the final scene that it's inferred that the daughter was being targeted for abduction.

Great write up! This film is indeed very relevant today. I see it as a study of what happens when individuals waver on imposing a personal version of the "rule of law" upon themselves, given their innate sense of what is right and wrong. It always comes down to individual responsibility to do what is right and in the end, the principal players do just that.

Many nephilim were red heads. The term blue bloods also goes back to the nephilim. Half fallen angels and half human.
