The implied gay role in Kubrick's movie

I just thought of it when I re-watched "Eyes Wide Shut".
After thinking for a while, I remembered these few for a while.
It's fairly conclusive, so I won't say anything about it.

1. The first named character in "The Killing", Marvin. Like the male lead. Pay attention to the way he looks at the hero.
2. The Roman noble Crassus in Spartacus. Spartacus and Antoninus, Crassus' former slave, are more cryptic. The heroine is the main line of love, and Antoninus is the secondary line of love. The principles are the same. Whoever he likes and who he chooses represents justice.
3. The machine "human" HAL (the first three letters of IBM) in 2001 Space Odyssey in "2001 Space Odyssey". It should be said that there is an emotional entanglement with the people in the aircraft, which is a bit complicated.

There are also some small roles:
4. Two gay officers in "Barry Lyndon" (unavailable in the original book).
5. In Shining, when his wife finally ran away, she found that there were many other "people" in the hotel, two men together in one of the rooms.
6. There are women and women in the mansion in Eyes Wide Shut, as well as men and men; the front desk of the hotel where the pianist has lived is still a bit interesting to the male protagonist.

Attachment:
Eyes Wide Shut and Rainbow (Rainbow)

Rainbow appeared twice in the film, once when the two models made fun of the doctor at the dinner party on the first day and said to take him to the "side of the rainbow". Later the next day he wanted to participate in a masquerade party, and the final key step was to rent a dress from Rainbow Fashions.
Obviously, Bill's expedition is parallel to the expedition in The Wizard of OZ. There are some details of the correspondence.

This invisibly echoes a somewhat poisonous viewpoint.
This kind of perspective analysis says that, first of all, the real adventure of the doctor echoes the adventure of his wife's dream.
Secondly, many details show that the wife, daughter, migratory warbler, young prostitute and the former beauty queen (senior prostitute) are all isomorphic. It is a multitude of women's subordination and merchandise (the whole movie ends in a shopping scene, and it is said that every product that the daughter runs towards has an intertextual relationship with the front).
Furthermore, the middle-class doctors, compared to the higher class participating in secret gatherings, always play the role of the purchased servants.
Therefore, some people think that Eyes Wide Shut's discussion of middle-class sexual repression and sexual illusion is only a superficial level. What Kubrick really wants to say is the nature of women's prostitutes, and further, it is the prostitutes of most people. In other words, this is still a story about the power relationship of human society.

On this point, some people have noticed some interesting details.
The first sentence of the heroine asked: Am I beautiful?
The first sentence of the actor asked: Where is my wallet?
Beauty is capital that can be purchased. The objectivity of a woman seems to be her only attribute.
The first argument between the hero and heroine after smoking marijuana can be said to be about this: the
doctor thinks that a man caressing about a woman is just to fuck her; his wife expresses anger exaggeratedly.
Moreover, the process of the hero's adventure is also the process of his continuous payment.
Kubrick is a very real person, and there is nothing unintentional about his style. He is also a person who likes to repeat. To put it simply, 2001 is the history of human eating and sleeping (the relationship between the sexes is expressed in other obscure ways), from beginning to end.
The protagonist constantly pays for money, is not stingy, and even a bit of money-spending behavior is by no means merely promoting the plot.
——Although he continues to use purchases to realize his will, in the final analysis, he still belongs to the "overwhelming majority" of the purchased.
Someone mentioned that this was why he rejected the box of wine in the end, and the other party wanted to laugh.

The movie puts the male protagonist and a young girl in the same position. It can indeed be regarded as another manifestation of his hidden femininity. This feminine trait is essentially in terms of social attributes, not natural attributes.
——Of course, there is a suspicion of over-interpretation.

The metaphors of the Rainbow Bridge and the Emerald City should be very common for them to use. In my impression, the British drama "Life on Mars" (a policeman who passed through a car accident decades ago), and the earlier American drama "Prison Storm" (OZ) (OZ is the abbreviation of XX's highest-level prison , Nickname, the fifth district, E district, alias Emerald City) are the overall structure of the parallel relationship with The Wizard of OZ. I hope to borrow some dreamlike artistic conceptions from this classic fairy tale, allegorical height (Life on Mars emphasizes dreaminess, OZ emphasizes allegoricality), and perhaps some pink metaphors of homosexuality.
After all, among the gay people, there are not many more prominent benchmarks and flags than Judy Garland and her starring The Wizard of Oz (1939).
Think of an irrelevant detail. The actor of Life on Mars is named Sam Tyler.
The origin of the name is said to be when the creator asked his little daughter what he wanted the hero to be called. The little girl watched the latest season of the BBC longevity drama "Doctor Who" (Doctor Who), and the heroine at the time was named Rose Tyler. So she mentioned the surname Tyler.
Tyler is another name that the creator of the new Doctor Who likes to use. For example, Vince Tyler, the male protagonist in his original "Comrades Also Mortal" (1999). The isomorphism of Rose Tyler and Vince Tyler is obvious-the contemporary incarnation of Jesus Christ (the author also has a TV series called "The Second Coming", Yeats has a poem of the same name) companion and guardian By.
So who is Sam Tyler?
