very interesting documentary

The faces of the interviewees were not seen from the beginning to the end, only the voices of fans and critics could be heard, but it was not a movie review soundtrack in the traditional sense, because this documentary had its own original soundtrack! Most of the footage is edited from Kubrick's The Shining and other classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and Barry Lyndon. And the most interesting thing is that the director occasionally matches these "materials" with the commentator's own experience, a feeling of being anti-customer first arises spontaneously, and the funny effect is immediately visible. There are also many scenes of the audience that have repeatedly appeared in the cinema. They are clearly cut out from an unknown old film. Coupled with the reviewers’ personal memories and descriptions, the serious scenes made me smile. . He is clearly commenting on a classic horror film, how can such a comedic atmosphere be revealed? When the moon landing plan came out in the second half, I seemed to have a clue.

This isn't any serious movie analysis at all, it's an arena where some movie nerds, detail freaks, and conspiracy theorists show their skills. But their expert tone and attentive attitude in their comments can't help but admire me! All the clues are brought out one by one for detailed analysis. The problematic scenes are constantly replayed, played in N times slow motion, and even played forward and backward, which makes the "deep" meaning of this horror film unknowingly surfaced. .

I don't know if this is an over-interpretation, but what I am sure of is this: if Kubrick had known, he would have laughed and pleased! I don't agree with the "esoteric" theories put forward by the commentators in the film, such as the Indian genocide, the Holocaust, and the lunar conspiracy. The only thing of interest is the "shiny" view of the hotel's internal structure, such as the window behind the manager's room in the lobby, the multiple different exit locations of the passage, and the little boy on the bike traversing the hotel's multiple floors explanation of. I think all unreasonable layout designs are the source of psychological anxiety, which should be Kubrick's best meticulous design. At this time, I recalled that when I first watched "The Shining", I was really horrified to see that winding corridor. It's no wonder that The Shining is the number one horror movie of all, and it's not without reason.
