The rainbow and other masonic symbols

This director left us codified who actually wields power, what kind of rituals they perform and describes the two worlds, that of the masses, and the other world, the one beyond the rainbow.
This arch was named after the goddess Iris, represented as a beautiful winged young woman who frequently carries messages from the gods to men. All the colors of the rainbow are actually a refraction of white light. It would therefore be white, the supposed seventh color of the Rainbow and not indigo, popularly recognized as such.
The rainbow phenomenon is virtual, potential, and an observer must exist at a certain point in order to appreciate its manifestation. This means that each observer is truly perceiving a different rainbow, and to the extent that we move or move, we are seeing a different manifestation of this atmospheric phenomenon.
As Dorothy sings in "The Wizard of Oz", the rainbow is the place where dreams are born, it is the place where reality disappears and unreality becomes visible, deceiving the observer, a point where dreams are confused with reality. reality. For Masons, the symbol of the rainbow represents the sleeping, the lying down, the transmutation of the free human into a slave of illusion.
The rainbow is an optical illusion by which we see white light fragmented into three primary and three secondary colors. The whole film could be a dream, or maybe not. Because we have our eyes tightly closed when we sleep, but the Masonic eye that sees everything is always open. In reality, we remain with our eyes tightly closed so as not to see reality as it is, so as not to draw back the curtain and see what is behind it. Perhaps we would find that the magician is indeed a fraud.
In “Ojos Wide Cerrados” the lights of the rainbow are represented in the Christmas lights that are found everywhere in houses, mansions and streets. The world we live in is an illusory world and as ordinary people we do not have access to the Great Knowledge, which would be the source of white light.
The rainbow then appears in the window of the costume shop where Bill walks in to rent a Venetian mask and cape, just like we see in the film they use in the Illuminati ritual round. There he meets Leelee, the owner's daughter, a teenage nymphet who tempts Cruise's character, somewhat reminiscent of Lolita, the main character in Kubrick's film of the same name. This is the first accusation against pederasty in this film, since Leelee (played by Leelee Sobieski) is visibly a minor.
One of the most important sequences is the one in which the couple goes to the party of Victor Ziegler, Bill's patient. Alice and Bill are a young couple that does not work very well in intimacy, which creates a crisis between them, as a marriage. They try again and again to make it work, but Alice continues to express her doubts.
The mansion where the Ziegler party takes place reminds us of a Masonic temple, the world of the initiate. Since the apprentice (in this case Bill) crosses the porch of the temple, he begins his Masonic life. The apprentice enters the temple through a porch surrounded by two columns. In the film the two columns are represented by the two tall women, the two models who accompany Bill down a long corridor. One of the models reminds Bill that they had already met once at Rockefeller Center.
In Rockefeller Center we can find a giant statue of Prometheus. The Greek demigod who stole the fire of knowledge from the gods and was therefore punished by a bird that devours his entrails every day. Some scholars identify Prometheus with the fallen angel punished by God, Lucifer. Then appears the first allusion to the idol to which Masons truly pay homage, Lucifer.
In another scene we see Bill climbing a majestic staircase, which represents the ascent to the top within the lodge. The mansion of the wealthy and eccentric Victor Ziegler is, in fact, the Luton Hoo Hotel in Bedfordshire, UK. The party in this mansion is theoretically a Christmas party, but more likely it is an effective way to recruit new adherents to the sect.
At the top of the stairs awaits the Grand Mason of the Lodge, Victor Ziegler, the host of the Christmas party. Calculating the equivalent of the letters in numbers of the name Victor, it gives us 33, which is the maximum degree within Freemasonry. The ladder also represents the degrees that matter has to ascend to achieve a true spiritual degree. The highest degrees of Freemasonry learn that they are superior to the rest of mortals.
The name Bill is a reference to the dollar bill. The doctor played by Tom Cruise fixes everything with money and with his medical credentials. In reality, it is a criticism of the middle class that, while struggling to survive, is blind to what is happening around them. On the dollar bill, an eye appears within a separate pyramid from the main pyramid. The top pyramid is the Illuminati, while the bottom truncated pyramid is the mass of people ruled by them.
The all-seeing eye is the left eye that observes everything from a high vantage point. It is inspired by the eye of the Egyptian god Horus. Another interesting matter regarding banknotes is that the different denominations of the euro were printed according to the colors of the rainbow. 

The colors of the rainbow:

Cred scent: alert, danger, blood, passion or violence. Red appears on the cloak of the high priest, on the door of the prostitute Domino, and on the carpet of the mansion where the Luciferian ritual takes place. Red is also in the hair of the women Bill meets throughout the film. Bill goes through a learning process through these female characters, with whom he has conversations. Alice herself and her daughter Helena, both have red hair.  

Purple: the color of sexual attraction but also the color of the cloaks of the two guardians of the High Priest. Domino's dress is this color, that of temptation. The sheets Alice sleeps on are purple. On the spouse's pillow appears the Venetian mask that Bill had rented the night before.
It is not known how it appeared there. That mask could have been placed there by Alice or by a third person. The truth is that the mask replaces Bill. In literature it would be a semantic resource such as synecdoche, the part for the whole. Some have interpreted it as a threat to Bill and his family.
It is evident that, if the color purple denotes sexual attraction, Alice is still mentally linked to the masquerade party and not to Bill, since the sheets on which she sleeps peacefully are of this color.
Green color: symbolizes death. Green appears in the scene where Bill, who also does house calls, goes to sign the death certificate of a patient who has just passed away. Later, the morgue room where Mandy's body lies is bathed in green light.
Color blue: symbolizes guilt, shame, remorse, the connection with the Christian heaven and, therefore, with the laws of Christianity adopted by Western civilization. Blue also symbolizes the spiritual and rational aspect of human beings.
The blue is in the lighting of the scene in which Bill and Alice confess their doubts about the marriage and, later, in the scene in which Bill enters the room of his daughter Helena whom he observes with affection and at the same time, with guilt, for not having shared all these moments with her.
In addition, Bill appears in the satanic ritual with a dark blue cape instead of black, which gives us the idea that he is an outsider, different from the rest and that he does not belong to that circle.
Yellow Color: Betrayal. Much of the first party, in which Bill talks to two models and Alice dances with Sandor, is illuminated by yellow lights. In the house of Marion, daughter of the late Lou Nathanson, the hallway is completely yellow and the interior of the room is green (death). This is because Marion is in love with Bill and declares her love for him that same night, but then her boyfriend arrives, evidencing her infidelity only for the viewer.
In Domino's house (a game with black and white pieces), the door is red (passion, blood, violence), his clothes are purple (temptation, desire) and the coat is a black and white print, imitating skin. of a wild animal. Black and white symbolizes yin and yang, good and evil, complementary opposites like light and shadow, while the print suggests the idea of ​​prostitution. 

the venetian masks

The masks belong to the Venetian carnival. The probable origin of the Carnival was the Saturnalia and the Bacchic Festivals, pagan rituals in which it was very common to practice massive orgies. In modern times each one protects his identity to ensure anonymity, both in sexual practices and during ritual sacrifices.
The architectural space where the Illuminati ritual takes place is the English mansion Mentmore. It is a large neo-renaissance country house situated in the village of Mentmore in the county of Buckinghamshire. The mansion was built between 1852 and 1854 for Baron Mayer de Rothschild.
The orgiastic scenes at Mentmore Tower is a symbolic revisit to the party at the Zeigler mansion. The dehumanizing masks of the orgy contrast sharply with the Christmas lights in the rest of the film, which flood the houses and streets with light. In this second mansion, therefore, we are no longer in a Christian realm.
This time there are no more Christmas decorations, no fake smiles, no fake characters and affected manners of high society. This is the basis of psychological reality, the unconscious unrepressed, Zeigler's party laid bare. There "Red Cloack" (The Great Priest) spins a ball of incense in circles, counterclockwise, on a red carpet. Then "Red Cloack" hits twice with the staff on the red carpet.
In the scene where Bill meets Victor in the pool room. Bill shows Victor the newspaper clipping where it is written that the model and former beauty queen who died of a drug overdose had an affair with a fashion designer named Leon Vitali. Leon Vitali is a longtime collaborator with Kubrick, his personal assistant on several of his films, including this one.
In the cast, indeed, Leon Vitali appears as interpreter of the character "Red Cloak", the man in the red cape who presides over the ritual. This detail denotes that the dead model, Mandy, whom Bill watches in horror in the morgue, is the same woman from the bathroom scene. In a previous scene we saw that the doors, the decoration and the robe of the mysterious and altruistic Mandy, were green, which would indicate that someone has died or is about to do so.
In this way we can appreciate the parallel between the satanic ritual circle and the pool table that Victor has in his own house. First, the “Red Cloack” gesture of hitting a white ball twice on the red upholstery is repeated. Then he repeats the same gesture with a piece of chalk. Victor Zeigler also points the finger at Bill in a threatening manner, similar to the threat in "Red Cloak" upon discovering that Bill was an insider who did not belong to the Masonic circle.
Even Kubrick used the same camera angle in both cases, to make the two scenes even more alike. However, despite the evidence, "Red Cloak" and Victor have been played by two different actors. They are two in one. Like the double-headed eagle that adorns the throne of the High Priest during the ritual. Ziegler represents the dark side of political power and the red-cloaked priest represents the dark side of the Church. One head looks to the east and the other to the west. In other words, political power and the Church, both supported by Masonic circles, have authority over the four corners of the planet.
The dialogue with Victor ends with Bill walking into a torrent of blue light, after Victor insists over and over again that there was no crime. Bill suspects the lie to which he is being subjected and feels sadness, guilt, shame for Mandy's death and for everything he has experienced. They are the feelings that, as we have already said, are represented by that same color and that are typical of a predominantly Christian middle-class society (at the time of filming this feature).
It is worth emphasizing that these same feelings are not shared by the upper class, the elite to which Victor belongs. In this sense, the double-headed eagle may also be substituting the idea of ​​a sick psyche, that of Víctor, divided into two personalities. One jocular and cheerful like the one he shows at the first party and the other, sinister, like the one he unveils at the second.
The key to enter the party, "Fidelio", also has a meaning. Bill and his family are threatened with death, but Mandy saves Bill's life, hence the meaning of the key. Beethoven's opera, Fidelio, tells the story of a woman who disguises herself as a man to save her husband, imprisoned for political reasons. In this sense, Mandy is a romantic character who dies for love and gratitude, since Bill had saved her life at Victor's house.
On the other hand, Christmas lights are a symbol resulting from the Christianization of pagan rituals, this is evident. Proof of this is the Ishtar star formed with Christmas lights on the walls of Victor's mansion. Ishtar was the Babylonian goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Like Isis for the Egyptians, Aphrodite for the Greeks, and Venus for the Romans, the Babylonian cult of Ishtar involved prostitution made sacred by a pagan religion. The star of Ishtar, from the point of view of Freemasonry, is the most relevant as it is made up of 16 points. For them, this star symbolizes the general structure of the universe. 

In the end Bill and Alice resolve to continue with their marriage despite the disagreements that separate them. The film tells us that the family as we know it is an invention of the middle class that the highest elite does not support. This elite represents only 1% of the planet's inhabitants, and yet it is this small circle that manipulates the strings of power. It is a group of people who consider themselves superior to the rest, they have no moral limits, they do not feel shame or guilt for the consequences of their actions.
Despite all the horrible and sinister of its denunciations, the film also shows the different types of love: marital love, couple love, brotherly love, parental love, love of others (the most paradigmatic case is the sacrifice of Mandy to save Bill, with no personal relationship between them other than doctor and patient).
No type of love appears in the black mass, dominated by betrayal, lust and exacerbated power, death, submission to women, prostitution, violence. Kubrick shows the bright and dark sides of New York society, and of human civilization, by extension.
Film poster: the purple background indicates temptation and also the mixture of red and blue, of the physical and the spiritual. Bill has his eyes closed, as the title of the film indicates, but Alice does not, she looks at herself in the mirror. The eye we see of hers in the poster is the reflection in the mirror of her left eye, the all-seeing eye, which indicates that, probably, she already belonged to the Masonic circle before presenting Bill.
Due to the way in which the two figures were positioned in front of the mirror, they give the appearance of two faces merged into one: the feminine side and the masculine side, light and shadow, the Jungian anima and animus. It is like a head divided in two, in which the female part is much more illuminated than its male counterpart.
Another important detail is that Bill is holding Alice by the neck. On the one hand, it is her support and on the other, he gives the impression of being about to hang her, while her ring finger with the wedding ring can be seen very clearly. In other words, it is marriage, an invention of the middle class and of the Christian church, that is drowning women, but also the feminine aspect of men, since the two are one, in their feminine and masculine aspects. 

Other reading keys that appear in "Eyes Wide Shut":

1. At Ziegler's mansion, Alice dances with a Hungarian man named Sandor Szavost (Sky Dumont). Sandor invites Alice to the upper part of the mansion with the excuse of showing her Victor's art gallery. She also tells him about Ovid, the Latin poet who wrote, among other works, "The Art of Loving." Tradition associates Ovid with erotic poetry.
2. Three times in the film a parallel is drawn between sexuality and wild animals: first in Alice's body position during the first argument with Bill, later in the imitation tiger skin coat worn by the prostitute Domino, who " catches” Bill on the streets of New York and the third and last, the toys in the form of stuffed cats that are exposed on the shelves of the toy store.
3. During the party at Victor's house, Bill Harford recognizes in the distance the man who is playing the piano, dressed in white with a black bow (once again black and white appears, the duality of opposites). Bill goes to say hello to Nick Nightingale and another night they have a drink together at the Sonata Café. Nick is the one who gives Bill Harford the password to the masquerade party.
   Nick Nightingale's last name clearly refers to the nightingale, a bird with a beautiful song. In this sense, a parallel is established between Nick's music and the song of the nightingale: the bird only sings at night and from a hidden place. The pianist is only seen playing the piano at night and his biggest performance is in the most secluded, forbidden and dark place in the film, Mentmore Tower.
   The Mockingbird reaches its furthest point of migration in December, while Nick spends the December holidays at his home in Seattle. The song of the nightingale served as the inspiration for Beethoven's symphonies, while the password "Fidelio" is also the name of Beethoven's only opera.
   Just as the double negative of each object, person and animal appears, the nightingale also has its opposite bird, the wren. When the man who stalks Bill through the streets of a fictional New York -the city we see in the film is not the real one, it is a montage made in a film studio in London-, we can read a sign with the name of a street that was invented just for the movie: Wren Street.
   Wren is the English word for wren, which is a bird known for its haunting but not beautiful song. The song of the wren combines perfectly with the sequence of Bill running through the streets, knowing that he is being watched and chased by a member of the sect.
   This sign was intentionally placed, as it indicates the transition between the nightingale and the wren, the Nick who plays the piano at the party and in the Sonata Café and the other Nick, the one who plays the organ, blindfolded, a lugubrious music during the masked black mass.
   In Celtic mythology, it was a wren who betrayed St. Stephen, leading to the traditional festival known as Wren Day, celebrated on December 26 (the day after Christmas). Until recently, “wrenboys” would dress up in masks and costumes on that day and hunt wrens for the purpose of stoneing them to death. In Kubrick's film, Nick disappears from the scene (we don't know if he returned to his home in Seattle or if he was killed for having revealed the access key to the Luciferian ritual, which would make him a traitor in the eyes of the sect) .
4. It is not known for sure if the final cut of the film is the same as Kubrick had planned, or if some sequences were cut during the final edition. It is impossible to know since Kubrick passed away before the theatrical release. In that sequence that would be missing there are those who say that the director would have inserted the scene of a human sacrifice, perhaps of a young man, but there is no reliable evidence of these assumptions.
   Likewise, the fictional overdose death of the model Mandy is more than suspicious, knowing that many times the police chronicles, like the one Bill reads in the newspaper, give an account of a suicide where in reality there was a murder. It is probably another of Kubrick's denunciations of the modus operandi of these sects. The positive aspect of these police reports is that the press functions as a fourth power, and continues to denounce issues that the political power often tries to hide.
