The film is about commerce, simple and plain. You may or may not have noticed the christmas tree and taxi cab motif but from what I theorize christmas was at one time a religious holiday it has since become a commercial one. The taxi's; rented, used, and, deserted. Kubrick's final film is not about true love, but prostitution; in the traditional and figurative sense of the word. Notice, for example, the way Bill Hartford flaunts his money, as if everything carries with it a price. The framing and set design is beautiful but the acting and editing (for gods sake the editing!) was amateur. This may however have been done intentionally, but the only link I see to the film's theme is the fact that an old master now draws the dollars based on name alone. Easter is for Easter baskets, right? Ahh, just saw it for the first time last night and I'm rambling. Trying to think of rebuttles for a Kubrick groupie in my class who is sure to find no faults in the film. Peace, Tim.BTW loved those mystery men in the cloaks! (were they drawn in with a crayola!) The most glorious cinematic sequence in the film RUINED, well not that bad, but not that good either.
