I hear crazy people
This starts with a rambling about how the cans of Calumet Baking Powder in the store room indicate something about the destruction of the environment and native people of America. And it goes on….

This is a movie about people who spend too much time examining every minutia of every frame of Stanley Kubrick’s movie ‘The Shining’. I can safely say that 75% of this movie is mind-numbingly unwatchable. There are some well worn observations of the overwhelming use of red. Then there is the constant examination of what would be goofs in other movie.

The fact is that Kubrick did a lot of inconsistency for the effect of disturbing the audience. The character in the movie is going crazy, and he’s putting that process on the screen. So this deliberate inconsistency and the accidental goofs that is in every movie is driving these people to the brink of newspaper clipping conspiracy theories. In many cases, these theories really misses the point of the movie.

There are some fun insights like Kubrick deliberately giving the finger to Stephen King with the red Volkswagon crash. Who knows how true that part is, but it sounds really funny and cool.

In the end, this movie misses the elephant in the room. These are some very obsessed crazy people. Why not do a documentary about these people? What drives them to spend all this time and effort? What’s missing in their lives?Read More
