That is because it was heavy edited by the studio after directors death and no where near the original cut. In original ending they actually give their daughter to the cult so they can be members.
This comment is quite ironic and funny because the enduring interest in this movie is because it’s heavily disputed that the Final Cut is actually close to being Kubrick intended cut.
That’s the whole mythos of the movie and why people like the OP wrote a huge thesis on the themes and motivation behind the movie.
That's not even remotely true. There is enduring interest in this movie because it is fantastic and arguably one of the master's greatest works. There is a renewed interest in it by a certain group of people that think it has anything to do with pizzagate. They are super annoying.
It goes on my list of 'dreamlike' movies, they don't always fully add up consciously but you can feel your unconscious going into overdrive while watching them (or maybe there is a surface plot that mostly adds up, like EWS, but there is clearly something going on at a least one other level). The viewing experience is often downright hypnotic for me.
A few off the top of my head, this is a very personal list and I can't even claim that all these movies are 'good' in any particular sense. Just that they put me into this state:
* basically anything in lynch's cannon. I'm not always the biggest fan of his stuff, but sometimes they hit me hard.
* Cronenberg's Videodrome and it's spiritual sequel Existenz
* Donnie Darko & Southland Tales (objectively just an awful movie)
* Prince of Darkness
* Enter the Void (not for the faint of heart)
* Paprika
* Solaris (the original mostly, there are some qualities in the remake)
* Stalker
* Dark City
* Sorry to Bother You
* The Fountain
* 8 1/2
* The Ninth Gate
* and certainly Eyes Wide Shut
Read this article twice and can't understand what problem it is trying to solve and it's use cases. Can someone please explain it better?
Apparently it is a distributed file management system that is Local-first access control. What is the point if the data is on my machine then I have full access already so it already is local-first access?
Local first doesn’t mean local only. There are times where your device will need to sync data from a remote location/other peers. That data may be encrypted. This project is trying to solve for local access control in such situations.
Good explanation, can you also explain how a sentence ends up as a point next to another point where the sentences has similar meaning. What does it mean for two sentences to be similar?
