Kubrick wanted to create a film that would tell a story in a new way. He succeeded. He tells the story with thousands of clues built into the sets, locations, costumes, even words, numbers, music and colours. On the surface, nothing really happens - Tom Cruise just walks around a lot, then the movie's over. If you see Kubrick's tricks, then you'll see the real story - that Alice is The Pink Panther, a predatory big cat who preys on birds and rabbits at night. Alice has people killed. She controls the sex group and she's in the circle and having sex at Somerton. Bill is one of her victims who dies.
Many other directors, for decades, have used some tricks like this, but none come even remotely close to what Kubrick did with Eyes Wide Shut. He created the greatest film of all time and the greatest total work of art of all time. It's a treasure hunt, a code to crack, difficult, but also like a kids puzzle or video game.
'Bill' is slang for nose and Bill Harford and other characters put their noses on clues. They also point to clues with their index fingers, elbows, hair, butts, clothing, etc.
Imagine Alice in wonderland except Alice is played by Tom cruise and wonderland is Nicole Kidman's dirty sex dream..
Look at the word on Helena’s drawing in the context of the drawing, you only see this in one shot when Bill checks on her. Earlier in the movie when Alice is reading to Helena, the drawing is in the shot but Alice is blocking the word…what Alice is grooming her for as she was….
Just watch it and acknowledge that the same things in the movie and even worse things happen IRL, if you wanna do your own research about the movie (which is very complex), do it.
