The split view of Eyes Wide Shut starting when Tom rips the money may not be a literal match up but its a good way to view Kubrick ' s use of doubling scenes which he has done in movies throughout his career . I think Kubrick did create scenes in EWS to mirror eachother and this was done intentionally . It ' s just watching them in a split manner makes this more obvious . A nice thing I noticed by watching the film in this split view is that the girls who hit on Tom in the beginning of the film are found in the orgy scene . They are having sex on the table . Never caught that before . 2001 also has some great mirrored scenes . The apes eating and barking to eachother around the water pool is mirrored when Haywood Flood is discussing Clavius Base with the Russian agent sitting at that table . The discussion is far more civilized then the apes but it shows we haven ' t progressed all that much as we ' d like to think .
