Is this movie anything like Gravitys Rainbow in anyway?

Why anyone would compare Eyes Wide Shut to Ulysses is completely beyond me. You must be new to this board. Seriously, step your brain game up.
Now, Infinite Jest is another ballpark. The comparisons of mystery and young rich men who have it all is just too juicy to pass up. If I EVER had to compare EWS to anything, it'd have to IJ.

I didn't make the comparison you mongoloid. Learn to fucking read.

The movie

I'm curious to hear your opinion, so I'll play the pleb devils advocate.

It's thematically shallow. "dude don't cheet lel"
The symbolism is shitty. "lel rainbowz because dreams or something xD"
And the whole secret societies and dead strippers thing was unresolved and poorly integrated.

I know how to read, why would I be on a Literature board if I didn't know how to read, mongo?

Why anyone would compare Eyes Wide Shut to Infinite Jest is beyond me. You must be new to this board. Seriously, step your brain game up. Now, The Tunnel is another ballpark. The parts with the things where the characters say that, that's that part which is what reminds of this somehow for some reason why. You must remember that Infinite Jest is based off of End Zone by DeLillo, who has stated his influence of Kubrick on his novels.

Simply ebin, mongoloid

I'm not that user, but I absolutely agree with him. It's Kubrick's most complex and richest in subtext film. People look at it like it's just about sex and spooky illuminati cults, but if you look at it more than not at all, you'll find there's so much more to it. It's about love and relationships, the married life, fidelity and jealousy, and how a simple thought of unfaithfulness, and not even an action can possibly ruin a relationship, sex and sexual frustration, especially for the male, money and the corruption of the innocents through it, the differences between social classes in modern society and how the rich and powerful have complete control over the weak and poor, sensationalized conspiracy theories and the secrecy of the high class, all blended together in a very Lynchian and Kafkaesque manner, where nothing seems to make sense, everything appears to be related to one another and the world seems to conspire against you. Not to mention dream logic, the notion of duality appearing throughout the entire film (the two parties, the girl in both places, his wife), and the insight into the modern city life and its underworld. Now with all that in mind, watch the film again, it's really obvious once you know what to look for. You could also look up essays on it, but beware of all the dumb Kubrick over-analysts. The internet is full of them.

Now I'm not saying that complexity is inherently better than simplicity, but when you look at his other films, they all seem pretty banal in comparison. 2001 has 50% visual space porn and 50% themes about the nature of being human and the concept of transcendence, but nothing much beyond that, FMJ and PoG are basic anti-war propaganda, Barry Lyndon (my second favorite of his) is about the rise and fall of a simple-minded idiot, Dr Strangelove is anti-war political satire with a bunch of humorous sex jokes thrown in, The Shining is an interesting twist on the slasher genre (although it doesn't get any credit for that because it's an adaptation), and Clockwork Orange, his second most complex film, is about corruption, the close bond between violence and sex, and a critique on how the government protects psychopaths for its own interests, even though they're a menace to society (still, he gets no credit for the idea). Obviously, they're all masterfully crafted from a technical standpoint, but if you take into consideration what the films are about, EWS is clearly his most interesting. But of course, in the end you're free to like whichever you want the most.

Wrong picture.
