This is such a brilliant scene on so many levels. I think it is the best scene in the entire film. The costumes, the sets, the dialogue, the camera; all just perfection. Even the door to her building is evocative. Vanessa Shaw is just mesmerizing in this role. She really makes an impression on the viewer. Nobody can match Kubrick's talent.
I’m still trying to figure out why Kubrick chose to have this set right before Christmas. For me, Christmas has always been ethereal and dreamy. A time ppl like to spoil themselves and gather. Perhaps ppl feel more adventurous around the holidays.
This just shows what movie making is, not just shooting a film. Kubrick sow the real quality in film making is time, concentrate on the story and acting. That is what long term keeps a film great, compared to the 95% of films that a not so great.
Domino uses tasteful but very suggestive language to tempt him and to ultimately, successfully lure him “inside” but short of consummation because Alice has a 6th sense. Domino is so sensual and feminine. Her red door represents her divine feminine nether region IMHO. Inside is the end of the rainbow. 🌈
There is a scene in the movie when he came back home .. the moment he switch off the Christmas light tree .. there was the Christmas tree that's make him remember her when they were both in her apartment ..
I also don’t think she invited any customers to her home. There is a Hôtel right there as they walk. Of course Bill going to her home later proves to be an important plot point
@@Novarya interestingly she targets him, perhaps because of his handsome look. He seems uninterested or simply trying to be discreet and then becomes interested but skeptical… then giving in but somewhat hesitant but deep down inside very much willing
@@Novarya interesting connection between Domino and the Goddess of Wisdom. Are you referring to Greek Goddess Athena? I am not too familiar with her virtues
I like this movie. But there are some things about it that drive me nuts. Her: “Do you want to come inside?” Him: “Do I want to come inside?” Him: “What do you recommend?” Her: “What do I recommend?” This pattern of responding to a question by repeating the question that was just asked goes on throughout the entire film. In fact it happens so often that you go from not really noticing to the point where it’s impossible to focus on anything else, and soon when someone asks a question you just know it’s coming! And you’re totally like “oh god she’s gonna repeat the question back to him now isn’t she?” And sure enough that’s just what happens. It’s fucking maddening.
I was thinking this too! Especially when he's at the mansion and he's wearing the mask, walking around the different rooms, being warned by the mysterious woman that it's too dangerous for him. It feels like a temple.
It is interesting that for as handsome and well-off as he is he comes across as kind of a timid, beta guy, intentional no doubt. I imagine he’s supposed to represent the average viewer who is tempted and curious by such things as sultry mysterious women to the hidden secrets beneath the thin veneer of civilization and wants a window into it but not brave enough to experience or seek it out. It’s very much a voyeuristic movie.
What I like about this scene is how it shows that sex workers can enjoy sex too and a lot of the times will pick out their potential clients in the hopes they’ll say yes. She clearly comes on to Tom Cruise and basically takes him by the arm to her place. Yes she wants to make money but also clearly wants to have sex with specifically him.
The older woman with dead father in the previous scene had a nicer Christmas tree but she was old and this girl is younger but she has inferior Christmas tree but she yung!
I’m a Vinessa Shaw fan. She played Domino very well. Hard to believe this movie came out about 25 years ago. Her character’s blood test would come back soon after it said she has HIV. 😧 Bill is still safe as no sex happens. 👍🏻 It goes to show how very important a condom is with prostitutes or with women that men don’t know well when engaging in sex. Nothing against prostitution as it should be legal everywhere but protection should always be used. Sometimes a condom can literally save somebody’s life. It’s better to be safe than sorry. A good movie. 👌🏻
@@jihigh482 Nah, a real mark is the guys who pay $150 a year for some girls onlyfans and don’t even get to touch. Or guys who are robbed by her pimp/boyfriend.
In The Shining there was a documentary talking about how absurd Stanley would make the set. That office where Jack's character is taking over the hotel has a window, even though it's situation in the middle of a huge building (making no windows possible - unless there was a winter garden). I think the same sorts of choices are made here. Perhaps to alert the viewer to pay more attention to the background details, as some do carry significance. In this case Domino's room has masks. You also see she's a student, which would make her no ordinary hooker.
This movie just confuses the hell out of me. Tom Cruise learns his girl, Nicole slept with another guy. And in an act of clearing his head, he meets a hooker on the streets he doesn’t have sex with. And then goes to a creepy ass orgy. What did Stanley Kubrick make?
I guess it just wouldn't feel right at any other price. But is it a good price? Call John. He'll know. It's a curse actually. Stop calling me he says. That's that other John. Long John Silver's across the street. We run a respectible establishment here. We don't serve fish. Ever. Then again you never know. We might have a limited time special one day. I think it should be every Friday. You know? Contain it to a day. That's industrious. Focus that energy. Eyes closed wide. Change the world like Jesus. They hate it when you talk about them like this. You sound like a defector

Christmas has the Christ connection and it’s an easy way to incorporate Trees, which can symbolize life or wisdom among other things.
@@Novarya the burning bush that Moses saw!!
Christmas is pagan and has never had anything to do with virtue.

oo the rainbow certainly does not end here... they are both still under the umbrella. ;)
Agree all around. The door is less than subtle, but works very well here. Also, I love her comment about "coming inside." Well done, Mr. Kubrick!
Her body language… all verbs! And soooo suggestive in a tasteful way. Her manner is that of a classy but wayward lady of yesteryear
Kubrick has many arrows in his quiver, Clockwork orange is probably my favorite movie ever, but he never gets more mature than this
Kubric was a master of art
Amazing & Outstanding Sequence from the film Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Thx so much 4 Posting.....😝👻👽👽👻👽😛
Bill is shy.
He’s kinda cautious because of the illicit nature. He’s threading in unknown territory
@@crashmediainc well put
Shy? The dude rented a monk cloak and a mask and went to a unknown party at the middle of the night.
Best film ever
Cult film. Not one of these "so bads thats good crap" but real cult film like pupl fiction and others

I also don’t think she invited any customers to her home. There is a Hôtel right there as they walk. Of course Bill going to her home later proves to be an important plot point
I think so too! On a deeper level, she represents the Goddess of Wisdom and Bill is a ‘seeker’.

This scene shows that Kubrick is a fan of The Legend of Zelda.
