In my thesis, I discuss the film "Eyes Wide Shut". The aim of the work is to analyze the wider meaning of an unusual and very special performance, presentation or representations of Kubrick's couple in his last film, "Eyes Wide Shut." According to many stereotypical representations of the main strong successful male character in films, "Eyes Wide Shut" represents the exact opposite, a complete emotional breakdown and a crisis of wounded male identity. In our daily lives, at least once, we have all witnessed constant patriarchy, the domestication of women, and excessive emotionality and weakness as exclusively female characteristics. It is often believed that there is always a busy, educated, financially strong and successful (white) man standing next to a woman, without whom women cannot live. In a patriarchal society, a woman is not her own actor; it's problematic if it wants to be. Many theorists say that this same powerful and successful (white) man is having an identity crisis. The main purpose of the thesis is to examine the narrative structure of the film and the representation of the male character dr. Bill Harford. The eccentric director Stanley Kubrick presented the representation of masculinity in a very interesting way, which can be qualitatively explored while mentioning the opposite female sex, so I think that at the time of breaking out of stereotypes and the perception of the social placement of women, his latest film is worthwhile from a communicative as well as a sociological point of view viewing and analysis.
