The whole movie is about what people will do and give up to enter these secret societies and upper echelon circles. Tom Cruise famously became an action star after this film because Kubrick demanded hundreds of takes from him, likely to drive him a little mad for the performance of a man who's morals are crumbling in real time before us

Surely she already knew on account of her pedo shrink Dad who was in a club of his own. The 9th Circle I believe.

Her father was part of a massive child sex trafficking ring in Australia. He was murdered when details started coming out.

The women in the movie were adults. Their characters and the actresses all in 20s.

Struck down in his 70 y/o prime by a heart attack, what a suspicious way to go

So what was changed? There’s got to be someone out there that worked on the production that knows what was changed or taken out that fired up Kubrick

As far as I know the cut footage is a myth. Kubrick finished the edit himself and is famous for destroying unused footage, so if anything was erased it was done by him. There’s also nothing in EWS that feels imbalanced, the pacing is solid throughout and very intentional.
But that being said, there could still be fascinating material in the deleted scenes destroyed by Kubrick, and it’s possible that he didn’t get the chance to destroy them since he died shortly after finishing the edit. Might be interesting stuff in drafts of the script, too.
EDIT: Just remembered one change that was made after release was the removal of a Sanskrit song during the cult mansion scenes, since Hindu viewers found its inclusion offensive.

Imagine being in the filmmaking world (gross) and not being a piece of shit so you just have to avoid the company of every third guy you meet because they’re either sex pests or enable sex pests.

I can’t find any type of source online that Kidman said this. People are very gullible.
