The sex scenes afterwards seem to be a conditioning for the audience to almost forget about the empty ceremonial room, causing Dr. This scene would have been the climax of the entire movie, perhaps only as a subliminal climax. My analysis of what this scene would have done for Eyes Wide Shut: Acting as if he did not see the ceremonial room he continues to walk down the hallway which can be seen at 1:19:30. The reaction in his eyes can be seen in a close up. He turns to see an empty room with a pentagram-like circle in the center. He walks down a hallway distantly following a couple.

Potential additional pre-release viewers: Stanley Kubrick died on March 7th 1999, the ‘final cut’ was pre-screened for the first time on March 2nd 1999, 5 days before Kubrick’s death.
