Eyes Wide Shut is one of my favorite films, keep in mind this is coming from someone whose other favorites are Fight Club and Spaceballs.
The film is just so deep and symbolic. I think the theme that I like best is that both the husband and the wife are tempted in different ways to cheat on their spouse and child. And though neither one of them actually commits adultery, their thoughts alone are hurtful enough to each other that both the husband and the wife feel cheated on. It just goes to show that even though a man and woman may have a nice house, a child, and a stable relationship, there will always be temptations and sometimes not acting upon them is just as bad giving in to them.
That being said, I don't think that an uncut version would add much to the story. It would most likely just be more nudity in the orgy scene with those CGI'ed floating watchers removed.
