Eyes Wide Shut - Masked Ball (backward play)

Ja, heftige muziek, zeker bij de scene die er bij hoort... Kubrick is ook een meester in de muziek die hij gebruikt.
Ook leuk om te kijken;

While American censorship attempted to control the sexuality, complaints came from offended members of the Hindu religion. The American Hindus Against Defamation wrote to Warner Brothers requesting they change the voice-over chant that plays as Bill Harford wanders from room to room at the mansion. According to the AHAD, "the background music subsides and the shloka (scriptural recitation) from the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most revered Hindu scripture is played out." But, in reality, this is a modified version of an earlier piece by the film composer entitled "Backwards Priests". The main musical track at the beginning of the orgy scene is the chanting of a Romanian priest being played backwards. As noted above one musical cue is sung in Tamil] although other sections (according to film composer Jocelyn Pook) are sung in Hindi taken from an earlier recording by Manickam Yogeswaran.

When Warner did not concede, the American Hindus Against Defamation threatened to protest. Eventually, Warner Brothers agreed with the Hindu community of Great Britain to replace it with a chant of similar dramatic tone. These changes were not made in the North American release. Later, Warner Brothers issued a public apology for the hurt caused to Hindus.
