Full Metal Jacket - shooting script versus film

[Lauren Johnson]

This actually is one reason I also regularly post about humour and music, as they are the antidote medicine to the depression - or as Durer had it in his woodcut "Melancholia" - that reading and digesting these shadow contents inflicts upon us all.

I think we both agree that the title of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut speaks the words for those who avoid their own responsibility to approach and know their own Shadow, but rather revel in it.

Here is a commercial playing in the US for a Las Vegas hotel. Talk about reveling in the collective shadow. "Just the right amount of wrong." I find this short video, for some reason, more disturbing than the Kubrik ritual scene.
