As a fan of Kubrick's work, I was sucked into this film. Shots that have the deep and beautiful significance a famous work of art that one would hang on a wall, and pure framing genius that makes one grin at the sight. The beauty in this film is a truth that shines through about every person on this planet. Although someone may have sadistic, violent, or disgustingly lustful thoughts, there is a way to be sane on the inside. The narrator in this film poises as a normal person, and although being a violent driven sex addict isn't socially acceptable, this character is free in his own mind to live among a world that would sooner damn him than to see his point of view. The simplicity of sanity is complicated by the discernment of a prospector, and hardly ever by the owner of the thoughts.
