Episode 230: Episode 230 - Eyes Wide Shut (1:30:02)

Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective

We dive into a review of Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut" with our friend Mike C.
Eyes Wide Shut is a 1999 erotic mystery psychological drama film directed, produced and co-written by Stanley Kubrick. Based on the 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story) by Arthur Schnitzler, the movie transfers the story from early 20th-century Vienna to 1990s New York City.
Kubrick was a master film-maker who made every scene full of meaning and symbolism, every shot a portrait or a painting and often leaves the viewer to interpret the “art” in a very subjective way.
This was his last film and he died a few days after sharing the cut with the studio.
We will have much to discuss on this one.
Join us next week as we kick off “May-trix” with a review of the original “The Matrix” with Jeremiah of Real on Reels. We will be doing all four of the Matrix movies (including the AniMatrix) as well as a few bonus episodes.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.
Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.
We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.
The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.
We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests.
