Eyes Wide Shut
Pool table scene...
Perhaps the image that best summarizes Eyes Wide Shut is Ziegler’s pool table. Since we’ve established that red is symbolically linked with sex, we can interpret this image as a commentary that Ziegler, the epitome of the invulnerable elite, uses sex as a game, like billiards, with those of lesser status as the symbolic billiard balls, all for the purpose of maintaining and abusing power. Even well-off people like Bill are mere billiard balls to true bigwigs like Ziegler. The masses act in their own sexual interests, oblivious to the control being exerted on them from the elite.

Films can be disinformation and propaganda, but thankfully, no one's so far spotted an example in this thread (let me know if you do!)
The first film clip posted in this thread was from "Dark City". Here's a short video throwing light on who the Strangers are.
