Front-Ranger:
Kubrick portrayed the lost human in the journey through the labyrinth better than anyone else. What an excellent compilation!

Penthesilea:

--- Quote ---Three decades on, scholars and fans are still trying to decipher this puzzle of a film...

The more one views the film — and many of these scholars admit to viewing it hundreds of times — the more symbols and connections appear.  

What they had stumbled upon was a subculture of Kubrick fans that has been expanding over the last several years. The group includes professors and historians, fanboys and artists, many of whom have posted their theories online accompanied by maps, videos, and pages-long explications pleading their cases.


The film “is a compelling work of art that acts as a kind of mirror, especially for thoughtful people, who see aspects of themselves that are among the most precious things they have experienced

Sounds familiar? ;) ;D



--- Quote ---“This isn’t ‘Trekkies,’ ” said Mr. Kirk, referring to the 1997 documentary about the glorious excesses of “Star Trek” fandom. “We don’t have guys having ‘Shining’ weddings, or driving around in yellow VWs with ‘ROOM 237’ license plates. There were no conventions to go to.”

Now here we're more like "Trekkies", which is a good thing in my book. Those totally oh so serious/scientific Kubrick guys miss out on a lot! ;D :laugh:



As for me, I don't have the slightest urge to analyze The Shining, or just watch it again. I watched it exactly once and decided right then and there that I will never-ever see this movie again. Not because it was bad, far from it, but because it was too scary for me. No other film has ever frightened me that much. :o
