"Room 237" and "The Shining"
Sep. 29th, 2013 12:37 pmI just watched "Room 237". It really makes me want to watch the "The Shining" as well as re-read the book. And it's making me even more motivated to get my hands on "Doctor Sleep".
Lots of questions, but it will be fun to examine them. Is the film about Colonialism? The horrifying burden of history? Mazes? Families falling apart? Faking the moon landing? Puberty? All of the above? More
I really like where they superimpose the film run backwards over having it playing forwards. I would love to watch the whole film that way.
I still think Americans actually did walk on the moon though. I don't think Kubrik was that much of a genius.
