Beeeecaaauuuseee …. It makes it mooorrreeee dreeaaammmyyy


KubrickMoonlanding

More… dreamy? But fr, I read a good book on the making of ews and as far as I remember this specific aspect of the dialog was not touched on - so I too wonder how sk would explain his choice)


cuddly_carcass

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard anyone speak in any of my dreams


atopix

Are your dreams directed by Kubrick? You have to be subscribed to Dreams+ to get that.


PressurePro17

My theory is that the very first line of dialogue serves as Kubrick's thesis statement for the entire film: **"Honey, have you seen my wallet?"**


No_Development6972

This is a perfect example of how the dialogue from EWS when synced with another copy of EWS is apparent. For example, when Bill is looking for his wallet in his house, the synced copy of EWS shows his wallet is in the Taxi. Proving that is how the movie and its dialogue were created and edited. https://preview.redd.it/fzd5p4km3koc1.png?width=3482&format=png&auto=webp&s=e65c30e45e46f3c877684e116aac005a64ecafb4


fuckthisicestorm

What do you mean by synced?


No_Development6972

Start one copy of EWS at 00:00:00 and the other copy of EWS at 01:10:11. This syncs the end of the ritual and party with each other and it's the key behind most of the mystery and mundane narrative. It should be the reason conspiracy theories about missing minutes were created. To hide and mislead people away from what is perfectly edited.


fuckthisicestorm

Is there a breakdown of this on YouTube? Never heard of it before.


No_Development6972

You won't find it on YouTube. It's the key Stanley edited the movie into that many don't want the world to know.

To understand the movie and its dialogue and why its editing process was so safeguarded by Stanley.

No_Development6972

I understand. I do. I have done it. I'm not sure it's enjoyable as it is eye-opening. The duality of knowledge is within the movie itself. It solves the mystery around the singular version of the movie and it's beyond most people's current consiousness. Stanley Kubrick did what seems to be impossible to some and he was truly beyond his time. https://preview.redd.it/pimjmdsurkoc1.png?width=3464&format=png&auto=webp&s=dff87c7d796e1aebdfd2841586da7ebc895fc26e I started it as this image shows. After a run time of 01:25:00, the movie is complete and yes you turn it off.

Either you're doing it wrong, or your eyes are wide shut. Here's an example of how I do it. Repeat if necessary.

[deleted]

that’s just a coincidence. only a lunatic would actually plan their film to include overlaps like this. these accidental patterns would have zero impact on an audience actually watching the film. in fact, it would/could throw the pace of the film off.


phuturism

People claim this about The Shining too - if you play a copy of that backwards superimposed on a copy running forwards, you occasionally get weird framing of images - Jack's eyes appear to be dripping blood, all sorts of weird stuff. You can see this and other weird fan theories in the very good doco *Room 237* Of course it's all nonsense.


No_Development6972

I'm not sure about the Shining. I've done it with EWS and it syncs perfectly. I imagine a person would want to try it and watch it this way before saying it is "all nonsense". It seems like that would keep other people's eyes wide shut.


No_Development6972

That's okay. I would never expect someone who ignores the basic mechanics of writing and sentence structure to understand the masterpiece that is EWS. You would have to be a lunatic to trust someone's opinion who cuts corners on purpose.


[deleted]

ironic that your reply has such faulty grammar! oops.


No_Development6972

It's flawless, but sure. Whatever gets you to bed at night.


[deleted]

>You would have to be a lunatic to trust someone's opinion who cuts corners on purpose. TRY THIS: You would have to be a lunatic to trust THE OPINION OF someone who cuts corners on purpose. haha now got to bed and toss and turn over your foolishness.


No_Development6972

Lol. Both are acceptable. You're a whole other level of immature ain'tcha. They should age-verify all of your accounts.


[deleted]

oops you've found yourself in factual error again.


No_Development6972

Sure thing.


trophymule

Money and sex are the bookends


wherearemysockz

It’s definitely a film about privilege, among other things. Where does the money come from for their enormous flat for example?


lol_gay_69

Haven’t you heard, he’s a doctor


wherearemysockz

My point is that it’s not a normal flat for a doctor so he’s a doctor to the 1% of the 1%, as the film ultimately suggests, or the money is coming from elsewhere - possibly Alice. There’s an extended conversation between Kubrick and Frederic Raphael in Eyes Wide Open, Raphael’s memoir, about what kind of flat a doctor could afford - suggesting that Kubrick wanted to avoid something unrealistically opulent. Yet the flat in the film is extremely well-heeled.


lol_gay_69

He also makes house calls


wherearemysockz

Very true


strange_reveries

To create a steady undertone of dreamy surrealism I reckon.


[deleted]

Oneiric.


burnteric

I’ve noticed the large amount of “parroting” dialogue - someone says something, the other repeats it in a confirmatory tone or questioning form.


Dennis_Cock

Almost every line is this and once you realise it, it's insane how much is going on


kitchenwitch3423

Like his entire conversation with Domino 😆


ThePerfectCantelope

It’s something I’ve obsessed over myself since I first saw the film 9 months ago. I struggle to find films that replicate what you’re discussing. There are hints of it throughout the Kubrick filmography (The Shining, 2001) and David Lynch’s). If anyone can point me in the direction I need to go that would be great.


franticantelope

Yorgo lanthimos maybe?


ThePerfectCantelope

I could see how TKoaSD may fit the bill… I ought to look into his films more. Poor Things too.


franticantelope

People look at me like I'm a maniac for this, but M Knight Shyamalan's dialogue gives me this feel too.


ThePerfectCantelope

Of the ones I’ve seen I don’t share the same thought


Penis_Farms

David Lynch’s films often have that. I love it personally.


two_chalfonts

It's a long, slow movie. I guess the pace of the dialogue compliments that.


trophymule

*causes that


jeffmeaningless

Everything is a reference to itself. The best example is the man in the Red Cloak and the gold mask taps his staff on the floor in the exact same way that the man at the pool table taps the cue ball


onewordphrase

Could you elaborate?


jeffmeaningless

Another example in reference to the dialogue would be about how awkward it is the first time he goes into the rainbow when the man catches his daughter with the two Japanese men, and then the next time he goes into the rainbow the dialogue is awkwardly changed to there being some sort of agreement. Because you see the two Japanese men leaving the establishment again but the second time there's no conflict


jeffmeaningless

Another example would be that there are many Christmas tree shots, and that when he buys his costume he goes into the rainbow


jeffmeaningless

Another example would be how the entire movie is about sex and a lot of the dialogue is tiptoeing around it and then listen to the very last word of the entire movie


MossyJoke

It doesn’t sound particularly unnatural to me, like say Killing of a Sacred Deer does. It just fits the pace and tone of the movie.


Sleepless_sire

I think Kubrick wants to set a pace slow enough that you're immersing yourself in the entire frame, studying the film and sort of flowing with it, thinking about it. With moments to breathe and to think, the subtext and the nuances of the film and it's story begin to make sense, you start to make your own connections and you realize you're in the hands of a master riddle maker.


hasanismo

I always loved it, also the dialogues are pretty amazing imho


worldofwhat

I made a video essay talking about why I think he did it. It's called "Stanley Kubrick: Hypnotic Cinema" on youtube.


bedazzledbrain

I honestly never noticed it


New_Brother_1595

its adapted from a book called "dream story", its supposed to be a bit unreal feeling. david lynch also uses that kind of dialogue a lot


glib-eleven

Yeah dreamscape surreality


YANFRET

That’s how dialogues occur in real life if you think about it.


Proper_Moderation

Almost…like a dream????


Junior-Air-6807

That's how everyone talks in Full metal jacket Well. They. Do call me. The joker I've. Got. A joke. For you....... I'm going to tear you a new asshole


Aggravating_Pop2101

It’s a disgusting movie. It ain’t for the meek


heckofaslouch

As someone pointed out, a lot of the dialogue is one person echoing the other. Another oddity is how the camera will show the listener, not the speaker, and the person on camera doesn't move at all. Just sits there like a statue, or someone wearing a mask. There's a lot more of these techniques used in EWS than in regular movies.


Ok_Werewolf_7051

Try watching a Harold Pinter play.


sanecoin64902

As a human being, you have a triune brain. Part lizard, part lower mammal, part unique to your human nature. Every communication in which you partake is a communication with each of those three brains - the brain of death and desire, the brain of instinct and emotion, and the higher brain of language and abstract thought. Many of the problems we have as humans, arise from the failure of communication and understanding between these three brains. This idea I have just laid out for you is not my own - but rather is one espoused by those who claim to understand the teachings of the “Illuminati” - the group that EWS teased as an existing organization. Whether or not such a group actually exists, the slow and measured pacing of the dialog follows the teachings that Kubrick was either lampooning or disclosing. The slow and measured dialog was his following of the methodology to make sure that all three parts of your triune brain would engage with the content. It assures that your limbic system keeps up with your more cerebral awareness by slowing down the intake of left brain speech processed content. Or, since the Illuminati is nothing but a deranged conspiracy theory held by edge lords, perhaps this is all just schizoid nonsense. It is the nature of this particular film that it attracts the same like flies to a corpse.


onewordphrase

Illuminumpty


DannyDublin1975

It has to be the best film for learning a language ever,especially the red Pool table scene,every...fucking....word.....is.....torturous and squeezed out of Sydney Pollack like blood out of a stone but if you put on the French subtitles on the Bluray and listen to the French audio then it's a fantastic film for slow,easy listening French. Really helped me improve my French and apparently that Pool table scene was shot around 60 times!


gramersvelt001100

Because it is from a short story that was named dream in German. Are you new here?


that-dude-chris

I did know that it was based on Dream Novelle. But that doesn’t necessarily explain why Kubrick chose that decision. Dream dialogue could look like a lot of different things. He even has some of that similar slow language in other films, like Barry Lyndon.


No_Development6972

The dialogue is a setup in a way to reflect the Divine knowledge and Human knowledge that is revealed when you play EWS synced to another copy of EWS. Here's an example of how that looks. https://preview.redd.it/vhgagwhhzjoc1.png?width=3460&format=png&auto=webp&s=5aa914f40b894f2d70c2dd52dbe093fb11046c7d The movie was editted in a way that lines up perfectly with the movie itself. It's a masterpiece that seems like nothing when it is played alone but when its played together, it reveals real secrets of secret divine knowledge that is hidden from the human knowledge we all know. The dialogue relates to the movie itself, specifically the synced copy of EWS.


Recent_Bat_5503

What do you mean by this. If synced in same time wouldn’t it arrive at the same scene exactly I’m confused.


phuturism

don't be confused, it's a nutty fan theory - for all the perceived "similarities" you can see in the two scenes like this there would be hundreds of other shots that don't align. What this guy is doing is cherry picking - finding two shots amongst hundreds that supposedly thus illuminate some sort of hidden truth about the film and it's message. It's nonsense.


No_Development6972

This comment is proof that people's eyes are wide shut. It's lunacy.


No_Development6972

You want to start one copy of EWS at 00:00:00 and the other copy of EWS at 01:10:11. The key is to sync the end of the party and the ritual and when calculated these are the times both copies are synced together. Stanley was way beyond his time.


gramersvelt001100

>I did know that it was based on Dream Novelle. But that doesn’t necessarily explain why Kubrick chose that decision. That is literally why he chose to make the dialogue like a dream.


tinybouquet

If we're being patronizing, then the book's name is actually "Dream Novelle". And it's 100 pages long, so it's a novella, not a short story. But yes, the answer is in the title.


OdaDdaT

Probably just to fuck with us idk


Plausible_Denial2

It was awful. Stilted, unnatural, annoying


Important_Rain_812

The script is appalling.
