Why?
Couldn't they have just filmed on a real street?
Why?

For some reason the fact that it was made that way gives it an even weirder feel. Really sets the mood.

Before I knew it was filmed on a screen like that, I always felt that scene had a weird dreamlike quality to it

Kubrick probably couldn't be arsed with the permit.
Landon Turner
So Stanley Kubrick could stay inside and have his coffee. Everybody else was just glad to be working.
Ryder Brooks
They could have. It was deliberately chosen to do it this way despite being possible to have it filmed on a real street. Kubrick wanted to send a message about how the world around you is utterly fake and built by the elite. Tom Cruise walking down a fake road is a meta statement by Kubrick that the elite build your reality and you don't even know it, but once you're aware of it, you see that you're just a person on a treadmill walking in place while the elite's reality they built for you moves all around.
Carter Gonzalez
It was summer and Kubrick wanted to make some christmas kino
Justin Foster
Kubrick hated the US, so he filmed in London while simulating being in New York.
Cooper Moore
who wants to do anything in NYC?
Joshua Reed
The Kubrick would have to go back to America. Not only America, but Jew York, a city full of his most hated enemies, the jews.
Cooper Hernandez
kubrick hated flying.
he filmed the vietnam not far from his own house.
Brody Bennett
stanley kubrick is a pedant. only the finest imitations of locations will do.
Cooper Wood
Wasn't it set at 3 am?
Xavier Taylor
The scenes deleted from the final cut by WB were those displaying the ritual of LeeLee Sobieski's character getting raped and murdered.
That's all.

there is not a single street scene in EWS that is shot on a real city street
Joseph Moore
you are also forgetting the video game phenomenon where characters have to walk really fast or its boring as fuck. it registers as normal walking to the eye while looking extra cinematic how much motion it gives as the camera tracks.

Benjamin Mitchell
You think scenes are filmed at the exact time they happen in the movie?

You don't shoot (and reshoot) your actors with closeups on location you stupid donut
Parker Mitchell
Didn't Kubrick have fear of flying?
Isaac Smith
There's also Harvey Keitel jizzing in Kidman hair
Juan Turner
I have, and it is as horrible and full of kvetchy jews as the memes make it out to be
Nicholas Clark
Was he killed for this movie?
Jack Taylor
This. Gives the film that dream like feeling.
Also Lubrick hated flying so he stayed in the UK. And any UK street would have looked quite obviously UK
Adam Wilson
Does anyone have the video of that scene?
Kevin Lopez
Kubrick was a jew lol
Liam Williams
Background isn't even NY. Was filmed in London.
Evan Torres
He was killed and they recut his movie before releasing it.
William Hernandez
literally not at all. they're sure that kubrick would've kept tinkering with it if he'd lived, but the cut he screened days before he died is pretty much what came out (it was an incomplete cut that still needed to have some music and sounds mixed into it, plus the CG censorship for the R-rated cut.)
Dylan Russell
I think it's because the film was made over the course of 4 years and the shooting was disjointed.
Austin Campbell
Hack director
David Sanders

I really like the sound his shoes make on the sidewalk
Matthew Wright
Nonbrainlet answer: to get the lighting and staging right without constant reshoots which can be costly.
Jason Thompson
believe what you want to believe man but the whole thing seems odd to me
Jason Rivera
I don't really think anyone can answer that more accurately than Kubrick himself imo, I don't have an answer other than what's already been said, maybe it's an amalgamation of all the previously stated reasons.
Carter Lopez
Only Jews can hate Jews as much as a Jew
