let's not forget the most obvious thing...bathrooms have mirrors in them and the easiest way to depict a character soul searching or 'having a good look at himself', is to have them look at themselves in a mirror.
Back to Stanley though, briefly. Someone sort of alludes to this later in the thread, but Kubrick saw the shitter being brought inside the domestic home, rather than outside, as a step back for humanity's progress, a direct contradiction of the old saying 'don't shit where you eat'.
As soon as you realize that 99% of what you see in a film is there by design, everything starts to carry a new meaning. Because you're totally right, normally a filmmaker actively avoids showing something as mundane as a bathroom ritual, but it can serve a strong purpose in developing character traits that would be harder to illustrate anywhere else. But where most filmmakers use the bathroom to demonstrate the mundane before the second act gets moving, Kubrick might be the only one to consistently use the bathroom for something significant itself. Great video dude!
Or holy shit, I just remembered that amazing trick shot in Contact where the little girl is running into the bathroom and you see at the end of the shot that she's being reflected by the bathroom mirror / medicine cabinet!
In most movies I doubt a “hidden meaning” is present as much as suggested. In many Kubrick movies an overriding theme is showing that man is not as great or civil as he believes himself to be - and the bathroom in real or symbolic terms is the place where our civil side no longer divides from the functions of our physical or animal side. In keeping with this Kubrick’s bath scenes were intentionally used as story turning points.
yawn! isn't it clear that when talking about someone like Kubrick, the chances are he does mean something more!! If we watch an episode of Columbo from the 70's, then ok, maybe the guy is just in the jon...but big movies from great film makers...then there is more to it.
I was just going to take a piss and shower. But there is a new video from this channel so I will probably do it later. So it will be more deep and meaningful.
My film literature teacher showed one of your videos in our class this year and I thought it was so cool since I already watched you before I took the class. I dont know if that makes you feel good, but I figured you'd like to know(: I love your videos!
Entertain The Elk He showed us how Hitchcock creates suspense, it was really cool to see your intro while I was sitting in class lol. I go to a public highschool in Manchester, New Hampshire. Graduating in a few months!
Bathrooms are naturally claustrophobic and filled with inner anxiety and suppressed feelings, but sometimes they go beyond that and become pseudo-wombs places of comfort to hide from the chaos outside. Not many settings have such dicotomy.
Yes! And Elvis " the King of Rock & Roll" die is his bathroom. If you look deeply a lot of famous actors and rock stars " met their end" in the bathroom.. the Doors Jim Morrison, Mama Cash did joke on the ham sandwich was found in the bathroom I think it was many others Massachusetts more research but kind of creepy
Great video man!!! I don't know this for a fact, but I believe that it was James Joyce the first person who dared to write a scene in a bathroom. In his novel Ulysses (1922), right at the begining, Leopold gets into the bathroom with the newspaper. That's pretty much it, but it seems that at the time it was sort of a big deal, it was called obscene and so and so.
Great video and great comment as well, but in the Odyssey, Odysseus is recognized by Euriclea when she was bathing him (which fits the argument in the video!). Maybe Joyce broke a hiatus in Anglophone literature or something like that...
Celso Vieira interesting what you've mentioned. Some critics have stated that there is a correspondence between every chapter in the book and every book in the Odyssey. Maybe this is one of those.
Brilliant video!! Please do more Kubrick content, I’ve always known that Kubrick shoots pivotal scenes in bathrooms obviously but I loved the in depth dive into to it! Pointed out some stuff I never would have noticed
I freaking love Kubrick (haven't seen his films many times, but since I've met him I love him), but I've never noticed the importance of bathrooms in his movies, let alone that I would be watching a video with so many bathroom's scenes and be so entertained. Good job, man! More Kubrick, please!
I already saw it :) Very good and interesting video! I liked this more 'cause I didn't notice before the whole bathrooms thing, but your first one was really good!
Great video! Constructive criticism -- the intro was a little long, but once you got to the point, it made me connect Kubrick's use of bathrooms into a cohesive theme, rather than just a little coincidence.
The Bathroom Mirror is often a device used to speak openly the most basic and guarded truths about ourselves... Love the use of the bathroom as a scene location!!!
I watched a weird movie in the summertime 2022 that took place entirely in a bathroom. A whole family took refuge there because of a storm and they couldn't get out after the storm and started going mad. Sorry but I forgot the name of it
So if a scene is staged in a bedroom, kitchen, basement, dining room, living room, or office, it does not have any special meaning - it's all purely incidental? Only the bathroom has special meaning? So what do you think Kubrick's train of logic was to stage the conversation with Grady in the bathroom - was it : "We're back in the ballroom and I need Jack alone with Grady, but the only private place available is the men's room"; or was it "I want to get Jack and Grady alone in a restroom, I'll stage it in the ballroom and create an accident". The concept of mirrors is relevant in The Shining, since the only time Jack sees ghosts is while he is near a mirror - at the bar, in the men's room, and in Room 237. I think the concept of the mirror was more operative than the bathroom, in this case.
You are very creative, different and original. I love ❤️ most of u content creators and it is sad that I know no one who does what I do on YT. I have more in common with you all than I do in real life with the masses. Most ppl are dull non creative and interested in mundane minutia.
Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed the videos and enjoy the creativity found in RUclips. Hope you can find a small community of like-minded individuals! :)
Entertain The Elk Yea me too. Good luck with that right. I fit in on YT like a glove. I have good discernment so the creators I love here are truly authentic ppl with integrity. Love u guys so much. I’m no bitchute also because of Urban Moving. R u familiar with his channel. Love the blatant honesty with u ppl. Im the same way. Love mike Cernovich also. I have so many I can’t keep track with all u guys I sub to. God bless.
The bathroom is also used in Dr Strangelove when Brig. Gen. Jack Ripper shoots himself. But this was a really interesting analysis and I never actually picked up on that, both in Kubrick's films and just generally in movies all round. I will definitely keep a look out for that!
There's also this scene in Dr Strangelove when the mad general commits suicide in the bathroom. Don't know how you could connect this but anyway it was a really good video. I love your work!
Could also mention Sterling Hayden's trip to the bathroom in "Dr. Strangelove," where he "comes clean" to his AF base's defeat and blows his brains out.
I fucking love this channel. I love the in depth analysis, the editing is fantastic, and anyone who appreciates Kubrick is a friend of mine God damnit.
Scenes in bathrooms are not at all unusual in the movies, as your clips show. In fact, as I was watching this, I had Abbot and Costello Meet the Killer (1949) on TV and somebody was gargling in the bathroom at the same moment you showed somebody brushing his teeth. The silent movie The Crowd has a scene in a bathroom. Late 20s. The movie Head has a toilet scene.
I love George C. Scott in the bathroom. Though he doesn't actually do it, I always get the sense he's straining and grunting in between yelling out to his secretary. Whereas today, though funny as it is - it's not lasting funny. Like Maximum Overdrive, I laughed at all the added fart sounds as the guy is sitting in the stall talking to Emilio outside. But on subsequent viewings, it was really a pointless location just for a cheap laugh. Now Fun With Dick And Jane, I was shocked how casually Jane Fonda used the toilet. But then Eyes Wide Shut seemed like such a throwaway even for Kubrick to use. Stan should've gone with Kidman helping Cruise cut a toenail, or Cruise popping a zit on Kidman's back or something.
nah, just use the word comfort. ex. "i fluffed the pillows for your comfort" "i fluffed the pillows for you comfortability", i don't mean to nit pick, but the world is slowly getting lazier and dumber I'm just helping you swim against the current. still... great video bro love ya
you need to see more movies ;) just kidding. Have you seen Nightcrawler? There's a famous scene in it where our protagonist, who up to that point in the film, has been weirdly charming, goes a bit berserk, shows us his inner rage and, of course, breaks the mirror he had been looking into. Very standard movie symbolism, but it works every time.
David Lean I’ve seen nightcrawler back when it came out. Thought it was a great movie but now that you mention it I’m suddenly in hurry to rewatch it lol. Thanks for recommending such a great film.
It was the first example to come to my head. I know I have seen the same thing in a movie recently, but I can't think of it. Gyllenhaal is just so good in that moment, the image of him flipping out is so memorable.
Love this and all of his videos. I have to give Stephen King many of the Shining references. Could this have added to Kubrick’s love for bathroom scenes?
Must be a good director to make an audience sympathetic of a rapist, psycopath and murderer. Also the politics and ethical standpoints in the film are deep and informative, truly a strange masterpiece!
I have a story to tell. Not long. More of a cautionary tale. I fancy it in airport terminals and other tract-like holding devices. Any thoughts on how to get my story published $500 or under?
Intimate in that it's a space we don't normally invite others into. Going to the bathroom, being naked and exposed. That's a very intimate space to invite someone into. Only those closest to us see us in that way.
my fathers pal Robert Hills was charged with arming the cast of Fullmetal Jacket my dad and him spent time on Brixton gasworks a key location on Full Metal Jacket and once went to Mr. Kubrick's house and had a car that he only liked to go three miles and hour.
i think it fit perfectly with the analysis of the safe place. vincent do a self consultation therapy in the house of his boss to prevent himself from fucking the boss wife, and when it seems to be all fain she is o.d on him (similar structure to alex bath scene). and of course, vincent feel comfortable enough to shit in buch place and then lose his life --- trantino may oppose it but he do try to imitate kubrick every now and then
If art is accomplished correctly it is crafted with the added value of the audiences' own interpritaion however maticulous or vague that may be. While I enjoy the insight of anothers notions concerning a piece of art I feel a line is crossed when said insight is stated as factual due to this obstructing the concept of open interpretation. Those who view this are apt to draw conclusions based on watching this rather than their own viewing experience. Not speaking particularly for Kubrick films, which have been subject to an exploitation of suggestive interpretations, but art in general If you see it then it's there, if you don't its not. That's my issue with this video. It interprets elements of Kubrick films and film in general for you when these are things meant to be drawn out of the audience themselves. This should have been a 'what if' video rather than a 'the truth about' video
I see where you're coming from. Meaning is found in the eye of the beholder. This was a think piece and an examination at something that maybe people have never noticed. But my essay in itself is also a piece of art and obviously you interpreted it different than others who had no issue with it. So... I think you're just looking for something to take issue with. I never once said that what I think is an absolute fact. It's an idea explored with examples in film.
The only place where even kings walks alone :) You missed Spartacus roman bath scene and most famous sexual innuendo about bisexual as food metaphor oysters and snails. Tony Curtis character join rebels, nobody wants rape by Senator :)
What about mandy Ziegler scene where the only place where open your eyes spoken (as opposite to close eyes wide shut) and NY hooker scene where bill and hooker get closer gets camera flare from lens red and blue double rainbow syncs together ruclips.net/video/hhkg285UP7Q/видео.html (Bath tub and on top is SINK = Sync Bill exchanges bodily fluids with hooker as General Riper quote from Dr. Strangelove) where rainbow ends, water - projection screen of light. Nice work about this common feature in Kubrick movies.
let's not forget the most obvious thing...bathrooms have mirrors in them and the easiest way to depict a character soul searching or 'having a good look at himself', is to have them look at themselves in a mirror.
Completely completely agree.
Back to Stanley though, briefly. Someone sort of alludes to this later in the thread, but Kubrick saw the shitter being brought inside the domestic home, rather than outside, as a step back for humanity's progress, a direct contradiction of the old saying 'don't shit where you eat'.
@Zoe Kouf Perhaps it was, but it doesn't negate what I am saying. Unless you are suggesting a metaphor has only one meaning.
Pulp Fiction :
When you go to the bathroom, something bad always happens
I tried to fit in Pulp Fiction bathroom somewhere but couldn't find a spot. But I agree!
Vincent Vega gets shot after he comes out of Butch’s bathroom. Mia Wallace OD’s when Vincent goes to the bathroom. Any others?
@@LeonardStauffer Vincent goes to the bathroom in the diner at the end of the movie, too.
As soon as you realize that 99% of what you see in a film is there by design, everything starts to carry a new meaning.

Great video dude!
Preach! Thanks buddy. Always appreciate your support.
Bro, I can't believe you left out the Donnie Darko bathroom mirror scene!!!
There are so many good scenes that didn’t make it. :(
Also a great one in The 25th Hour, that epic rant on New York was in front of the bathroom mirror.
Or holy shit, I just remembered that amazing trick shot in Contact where the little girl is running into the bathroom and you see at the end of the shot that she's being reflected by the bathroom mirror / medicine cabinet!
In Pi where he’s looking in the mirror when he drills his head.

Yesssssss! :)
Now you're a killing machine
I'm literally on the toilet watching this
Noname Kola I'm figuratively doing so ;P
That's the best way to watch this video.
Oh. Uh ok
Same...
And no one cared...
Really great video. You deserve a bigger following.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Hmmm....interesting. Never noticed a lot of these things!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hell ya man, keep up the great work!
Great video. Never realised Kubricks bathroom theme
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
1:10 Hahaha when I first saw that Clip I thought He was Yanking one out in the Bathroom, is that just Me?
My film literature teacher showed one of your videos in our class this year and I thought it was so cool since I already watched you before I took the class. I dont know if that makes you feel good, but I figured you'd like to know(: I love your videos!
Oh wow that’s awesome. Which video and which school??
Entertain The Elk He showed us how Hitchcock creates suspense, it was really cool to see your intro while I was sitting in class lol. I go to a public highschool in Manchester, New Hampshire. Graduating in a few months!
Note to self watch Stanley Kubrick movies
Yes yes and yes.
what the hell have you been doing?
I always get excited when you upload. Thanks as always!!!
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoyed the video.

Ulysses is the greatest novel ever written! It's because James Joyce was an Irishmen!🇮🇪 Like myself!

Thanks! My very first video is on Kubrick's lighting. It was my first video so it's a little rough but hopefully you'll like it!
I already saw it :) Very good and interesting video! I liked this more 'cause I didn't notice before the whole bathrooms thing, but your first one was really good!
Loved the video, had me very invested into knowing the secrets Stanley Kubrick had that made his films so good.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I used the bathroom as a similar motif in the first screenplay I wrote in college. It didn't go anywhere, but hey, I'm glad I was on the right track.
That’s awesome!
Very comprehensive more Stanley Kubrick thanks
Yes sir! Check out my very first video. It's on Kubrick and Practical Lighting if you haven't already seen it.
It's funny you posted this today, because the next scene I'm writing in my screenplay takes place in a bathroom
That's awesome! Good luck on your writing.
Thanks for the videos! Can't wait for the next one!
Great video! Constructive criticism -- the intro was a little long, but once you got to the point, it made me connect Kubrick's use of bathrooms into a cohesive theme, rather than just a little coincidence.
Thanks for the feedback!
The Bathroom Mirror is often a device used to speak openly the most basic and guarded truths about ourselves... Love the use of the bathroom as a scene location!!!
Outstanding Beard BTW!!! It is a serious WOW!!!
You're exactly right. So glad you enjoyed the video. And glad you enjoyed my beard too! :)

I really thought about including that clip but just didn't know where to put it. I do love that scene though where he tries to guess the password. :)
I will never enter another bathroom the same way again...
Then my job is done here. :)
I wish you had put the ending fight bathroom scene of True Romance and discussed it.
Could also mention Sterling Hayden's trip to the bathroom in "Dr. Strangelove," where he "comes clean" to his AF base's defeat and blows his brains out.
Totally!!
always worth watching. you are dropping quality man. thank you
Thanks so much! :)
And have you ever seen "Contracted"? The bathroom becomes a place to conceal and deny oneself one's physical illness.
No I haven't! I need to check it out. :)
You should do a video on 2001, since it's had it's fifty years anniversary
Would love that!
@Zoe K. How was it?
I always notice Cafe conversation scenes in movies.
Ooh, that'd be another great video.
The day cartoon network died please
Great idea!
I fucking love this channel. I love the in depth analysis, the editing is fantastic, and anyone who appreciates Kubrick is a friend of mine God damnit.

This is why I love Kubrick he strips humanity to the bone
Yes yes and yes.
This is the content I subscribe for

Love all the bathroom references. Especially the randomness of Maximum Overdrive.
3:06 comfortability isn't a word
What? Yes it is...
nah, just use the word comfort. ex. "i fluffed the pillows for your comfort" "i fluffed the pillows for you comfortability", i don't mean to nit pick, but the world is slowly getting lazier and dumber I'm just helping you swim against the current. still... great video bro love ya
THE BATH!!! Hey you guys, I’m gonna take a bath 😛
Can you do one about eating and having meals together?
That's a great idea! "Drama of the Dinner Table"
Watching this while taking a shit. Deep as fuck
You're doing it right.
Amazing, dude! Amazing! I love this types of videos, keeping my fate on YT alive!
Thanks Sal! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Since I discovered this channel, yeah!
The only film I’ve ever noticed that had a bathroom scene develop a character was American Psycho.
you need to see more movies ;) just kidding. Have you seen Nightcrawler? There's a famous scene in it where our protagonist, who up to that point in the film, has been weirdly charming, goes a bit berserk, shows us his inner rage and, of course, breaks the mirror he had been looking into.

Great easy watching as usual.
Thanks Rob!
Where is the bathroom scene from La Haine? "You looking at me?"
Too many good bathroom scenes!
1:10 I thought Leo was doing something different lol
Ha
Wasn't there a Kubrick exhibit in LACMA once? I missed it. (A friend on Facebook posted images of a bathroom set with herself on it)
Yeah! I went to it when it came through here. It was awesome. If you go deep through my Instagram you can see a few pictures.
Very impressive, sir.
Thanks Ty!
Fantastic video. Right on the money.
Thank you! :)
Such a great video. Thanks again!
Thanks Joel!
I think this is my favourite video you've done yet! Great work! :D
It has everything I like. Small details, good. Kubrick, good. Bathrooms, good.
Wow! Thank you so much! :)
A wonderful analysis!!! Thank u for sharing!!!
Brilliant. As always
Thank you so much! :)
How did I tell the story of my life in two hours? It will probably end with me watching this video since the rest of the life hasn't happened yet
Great stuff man. Awesome.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Even a king looks like a fool while answering nature’s call.
Great video man
Thank you so much!
Love this and all of his videos. I have to give Stephen King many of the Shining references. Could this have added to Kubrick’s love for bathroom scenes?
Clockwork orange is his best
I might agree with you. It's fantastic.
Must be a good director to make an audience sympathetic of a rapist, psycopath and murderer. Also the politics and ethical standpoints in the film are deep and informative, truly a strange masterpiece!
Perfect film, political statement and representation of the mental health care of the era
I have a story to tell. Not long. More of a cautionary tale. I fancy it in airport terminals and other tract-like holding devices. Any thoughts on how to get my story published $500 or under?
Worded differently I would approve of this video
Interesting observations about
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Entertain The Elk No doubt Kubrick was a genius up to every detail thanks for letting us notice the bath them, best regards
I watch these kinds of videos in the shower or while on the toilet because I can not stand to be alone with my thoughts
Noted! However, we are not at our most "intimate" in the bathroom I hope.
Intimate in that it's a space we don't normally invite others into. Going to the bathroom, being naked and exposed. That's a very intimate space to invite someone into. Only those closest to us see us in that way.
Primal animal instincts? When i take a shit, shower and bath im on my phone still.
Can you please do a video about Wrestling. Just want to see your intake on it!
Interesting. Not sure what I would do, but I'll keep the idea in my back pocket. :)
Thank you, really enjoy your thoughts on subjects.
Hey, what's that "forever" line from? At 8:22?
The Sandlot! :)
Make A Video About David Fincher Please
I'd love to! It's just hard because every essayist and their mother has made a Fincher essay. I wouldn't want to retread on tired ground.
Entertain The Elk No Problem 😁
my fathers pal Robert Hills was charged with arming the cast of Fullmetal Jacket my dad and him spent time on Brixton gasworks a key location on Full Metal Jacket and once went to Mr. Kubrick's house and had a car that he only liked to go three miles and hour.
I love this comment so much. Love the behind the scenes info on the legend. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Robert Hills is named in the credits as an armourer
I never knew that urinating and shitting was so deep......
Haha

Music = Marvins Room
vincent vega pulp fiction has 2..hell almost every character had a bathroom scene
Yep! I wanted to fit them in but didn't know where to put them.
i think it fit perfectly with the analysis of the safe place. vincent do a self consultation therapy in the house of his boss to prevent himself from fucking the boss wife, and when it seems to be all fain she is o.d on him (similar structure to alex bath scene). and of course, vincent feel comfortable enough to shit in buch place and then lose his life --- trantino may oppose it but he do try to imitate kubrick every now and then
Gummo`s bath scene
Look at it.
2:19 what movie is that?
"Sin City"... That´s Benicio del Toro.
Came here after realizing that far too many scenes in my own fiction take place in bathrooms 😅
Haha. That's awesome.
Awesome
Thanks!
I feel some kind of a Zizek influence in this video
Not sure who Zizek is, but I'll check them out!
Lose the music
What movie is at 3:04?
Batman v Superman
i adore Kubrick and i love this video,but i think that 2 mins for advertisment in 10 min long video is a bit too much
Thanks so much! Yeah it's a bit long winded, but I wanted to get across my promotion, offer a book to read, and offer incentives to the viewer.

I see where you're coming from. Meaning is found in the eye of the beholder. This was a think piece and an examination at something that maybe people have never noticed. But my essay in itself is also a piece of art and obviously you interpreted it different than others who had no issue with it. So... I think you're just looking for something to take issue with. I never once said that what I think is an absolute fact. It's an idea explored with examples in film.
Why is the guy shocked at 0:24?
Probably he was like "HOLY SHIT, IS CARY GRANT!"
2:36 is that Lolita?

The only place where even kings walks alone :) You missed Spartacus roman bath scene and most famous sexual innuendo about bisexual as food metaphor oysters and snails. Tony Curtis character join rebels, nobody wants rape by Senator :)
Great scene. Just didn't know where to put it!
What about mandy Ziegler scene where the only place where open your eyes spoken (as opposite to close eyes wide shut) and NY hooker scene where bill and hooker get closer gets camera flare from lens red and blue double rainbow syncs together ruclips.net/video/hhkg285UP7Q/видео.html (Bath tub and on top is SINK = Sync Bill exchanges bodily fluids with hooker as General Riper quote from Dr. Strangelove) where rainbow ends, water - projection screen of light. Nice work about this common feature in Kubrick movies.

No. Truth and fact are used to define each other. It’s possible that you’re being affected by post modernism.
