Hey brother, I really enjoyed your video on The Shining, it's my favorite film of all time..I've literally watched everything on this movie that's out there my friend, and I have to correct you on one thing sir..when that set burned down, Stanley had already finished filming ALL of the scenes in The Colorado Lounge (which is the only part of the set that burned down) and that's why you have that picture of him laughing..they NEVER rebuilt that set unfortunately brother..I am also not sure about the continuity thing either..you are correct, many directors change things around and such, but this was Stanley Kubrick my friend, can any of us actually know how a man with a 200 IQ thinks?..I mean Einstein's IQ was 165 - 170 and we're still trying to figure him out completely..either way, I really enjoyed your take, and it was cool how you put yourself in the many famous places at the Overlook..nice job buddy, any chance of a part 2?..thanks and be well brother..Peace ✌️🪓

I saw her I agree I think a lot of the movie is this surface entertainment and visually amazing. Then you put yourself into a big ass hotel for the wintwr and its an overwhelming, exciting thought. Then you think about driving around that bi** then youre like hell ya thats cool af

Great art, invites us to supply the meaning. Interpretation is always skewed by perspective. Kubrick once remarked to an actor about a take “That was good and goods ok, interesting is better”.

Interesting take that I share, which is that you don't need to read into the film all that much. In fact you might be missing the point of the film if you obsess over some hidden this and that. But to me every Kubrick film has a central theme right on the face of it. You miss the theme if you obsess about the details. Nobody seems to talk about this theme. Where to me it is as plain as can possibly be across every single one of Kubrick's films. He paints pictures of people losing their sense of humor, the dangers of taking things too seriously. Doubt me? Go rewatch, or just think about any one of his films from first to last, with that idea on your mind. You can't miss it. It is obvious.

at first i thought it was deleted scenes with brad dourif

Just found this video and wanna say that you do amazing work and helped me understand the movie better.

I just watched a video analysis where for 74 minutes straight the guy blames Wendy for everything 🎶Everybody knows it's Wendy🎶 it was nuts

You're just a closed-minded skeptic, buddy! You have a whole film of highly credible evidence right here, yet you still refuse to believe it. Astonishing! You probably didn't even notice how all the Police denial only proves that it's a cover-up! And it's obviously just a coincidence that the whole family have acting careers, same as those Hollywood showbiz families do, even if this family lives in a rural area where farmers and loggers get way more employment!

Haha, this whole video is glorious, eloquent and clearly made by somebody who has a deep understanding and working knowledge of film-making. Every note hits correctly and I just have to congratulate you for how impressive this truly was! I've also seen The Shining way too many times than is healthy for normal people (and all the crank videos) but I enjoy the film because of its technical mastery of shots/editing/sound design/camera movement/performance/psychology etc. Kubrick was a genius, especially at subtext, but he wasn't a deity, as you rightly say. Although I still don't understand why Jack lied to Wendy about Room 237 when he was honest with her about the dream where he butchered her??? If he is trying to hide his growing psychosis, why not lie about the dream too??? In fact, when is Jack NOT honest? (He even tells Wendy honestly how he is going to bash her head in after he goes full nutbag!). Remember how angry Jack gets when Wendy calls him dishonest and a liar about hurting Danny when it was actually a ghost who did it? Okay, my brain hurts. Thank you again.

Perfect antidote to the spiralling madness of fan theory. The good news is you'll never run out of material to remake the same points about other movies. Forever and ever and ever.

wow... finally someone who isn't a batshit conspiracy theorist nut job.. thank you for not being crazy

Snarky, smarmy, and stupid

Making Harlock wanting to end the universe is such an insult to his character and to Leiji's stories. I started watching original anime when I was 4 or 5 and this movie came out when I was 9. It felt weird but I still enjoyed it a lot cuz I was young but years passed and I cant watch it again now, it could have been so good if it followed the original one, it's so frustrating..... We'll probably never get a Harlock movie ever again....

fantastic vid and obviously true. however there is some truth in people wanting to stay in their holes. it has lost a bit of its magic now

Damn! This Video is awesome!!!

Great review of this film. 😎 👍 🥉

Have I told you lately how distinctively, damn GOOD your YT videos always are?!

Great work….. except we didn’t land on the moon.

I always found it funny when people point out the overlook layout doesn't make sense. First of all, it's a movie set and I didn't think it would be perfect. Second and much more importantly, I just do not think people would ever realise that the layout doesn't make sense unless they are deliberately looking for it. I mean, maybe that's what Kubrick was going for, that the hotel is a place that just doesn't work how we could ever imagine, but maybe it's just a movie set? That's like saying they had to completely build a working Death Star to an actual practical layout for Star Wars. I would never try to map out the Death Star, because that's not the point, or important. Just my opinion on one of the rabbit holes.

Starblazers was shown in a few US markets in '74.

I've been waiting for this video for YEARS! I'm not going to $hit on the fan theories, as they are fascinating, interesting and spark great debate (yes, EVEN the whacky Moon theory!). Worthy of a sociological study in regards how humans are desperate to attach meaning to things, which inherently have little or no meaning...see any religious figure in history, and cross reference with the Shining theories! Reality however, is a harsh harsh mistress, and my goodness does the reality of film making make a mockery of these elaborate hypothesis. My favourite one is the Calumet theory of how Kubrick went and rearranged the tins to spell the word out. The reality is that Kubrick was first and foremost a photographer; that's where his obsession lay ergo what is more likely = Kubrick putting in Davinchi Code level nonsense in his work for a audience to pick up on 25 years later as he looked into a crystal ball and predicted BluRay quality, and fan conspiracy theory media, OR was old Stan just wanting the best possible shot for the scene? Occam's razor anyone? Yes, Kubrick was very intelligent, and all his movies had complex themes and layers. I don’t think anybody would dispute that, but mistaking themes for ideas is a poor life choice. Domestic violence and abuse, Oedipal complex, the hidden horror of the family unit, the Hero journey - they are ALL in this movie, but as themes and subtext to give the story depth and meaning. It all makes for wonderful discussion though, and for even better snarky UA-cam videos. Well done, sir; I hope this goes viral.

I laughed so hard at the intro. I needed that, thank you !!!

You need to direct the next Star Wars. It's grown stale, lost its edge.

yawn SHIT WEAK

Dude this is the most entertaining Peaks video I've ever seen. Also never thought of that Laura/Judy connection. And you used 2 coats!!

That's SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO to you

How the hell does this not have over a million views? Absolutely excellent video!

5:40 I am pretty sure the figure in the dark clothes ins Bernard Renault, who works together with Leo on the drug trade and gets killed by Leo, so we never see him again. He just shares an outfit with Leland. There is no reason to think that Leland worked with Leo running drugs. Would also be a huge risk after he attacked him the night his daughter died. But who knows what Bob / Leland were up to. I also always interpreted the make up on Vindom Earl as a costume / trick he pulls on Leo. Vindom is constantly discusing himelf and I thought he might just want to scare Leo a bit and the plan to enter the Black lodge and take its power to do evil adds up with his Earl's motivation and not Bob's. Bob has the power of the Lodge, Vindom wants to get the evil power of Bob. I am not sure he would want that while controled by Bob. Vindom Earl's plans change a bit when he realises that he can open the way to the Lodge with fear, using Annie to open the door and not just kill her and Coop. But I also do like the idea that Bob took over Earl, either way I always saw it as Bob playing both Vindom and Earl by louring them in to the lodge, to take his new victim (he directly appears infront of Coop after Josie is killed, planting the idea how to enter the lodge in Cooper's head). I do think all other explenations work out pretty perfectly.

Thank you for pulling so many heads out of asses.

This is hilarious and brilliant. Thank you kind sir. After watching many of the 'hidden meaning' videos you're talking about, I really needed this exorcism of stupidity today (PS You missed mentioning the Captain of the Titanic and a baby Donal Trump in that final photo.)

Love the movie and book, and love videos with theories about the movie. I dont buy most of them, but they are fun to hear. Not big on the Wendy theory, to me just doesn't add up. Great video!

the tree at 6:10 is supposed to show us they're in the same area

My problem with season two was that a lot of the storylines for the characters were stupid and didnt feel like they had any stakes. Dale being framed, ok mifht have been a one or two episode story but got dragged out. Nadine having super strength, ben horne doing the civil war stuff. James' whole stupid storyline. Then josie revealed as being possessed by bob too. What i think they should have done was have the bob murders continue and they have to find the killer and its josie this discovery then leads dale to the black lodge in the last episode. So much was just dumb

LMAO, i like this

Very good video. I laughed n enjoyed it. Heard some things I never thought of and learned a lot. It’s kinda like one of your favorite song.. it means one thing to you but another fan will have a completely different approach on the song. If you like it… you like it. Keep the meaning you got from it for yourself. After all that’s the one that counts. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it. 😊

I love The Shining. I've been watching videos about it here on UA-cam over the last few days, and yours is by far my favorite. I laughed a bunch of times and I'll probably watch it again. I totally agree with you about how batshit most of the theories about it are, including those laid out in Room 237. Like you, I think it's stupid to come up with convoluted theories about tiny details that can probably be ascribed to continuity/human error and could never have been expected to picked up on by viewers in the pre-home theater and computer era of the late 1970s.. Nevertheless, I love Room 237 and will probably continue watching more of these videos "explaining" the film just because it's fun to see the perspectives of people who are are intrigued by it as I am. I remember a professor totally blowing my mind by pointing out ways that small details foreshadowed later events in a short story I wrote, none of which I had intended. Since then I've been a little more open to the idea that the interpretations people come up when experiencing art (a term I use extremely loosely re: to my college short story) are valid/worth considering even if they aren't in line with anything the artist intended when creating the piece. But yeah, the moon landing and backwards/forwards theories are insane.

Fantastic work once again! That moon landing bit had me lulz 😅. OREGONNN!

Inland Empire has always given me the feeling reminiscent of one of those endless dreams where you feel as though you're fading in and out through a series of surreal worlds each with its own concept of logic, meaning and purpose It's one of my favourite films of all

I saw your recommendation thumbnail and watched the movie before watching the video here. (Will most likely do that same with any other you suggest.) This was an utterly fantastic film. It kind of changed my impression of Peter Jackson as someone who knows how to properly focus his various passions very well as I thought the closest he got to doing something serious before Lord of the Rings was The Frighteners. I can't help but wonder about The Lovely Bones after watching this. This movie is perfect evidence that he was the right director for such a dark and touchy subject yet I don't think that movie fairs nearly as well. I wonder if it has to do with so many studios and big names attaching themselves to his work post LOTR but not wanting to back something that risky to their reputations. As depressing as it would be to see an indie movie director getting devoured by the hollywood machine, I suppose it's a better alternative to believing he just lost the ability to navigate these kinds of stories.

By far my favorite interpretation of what is happening in Twin Peaks piece by piece. Corn Pone Flicks is the Dale Cooper of squirreling out secrets from David Lynch’s magnum opus.

20:16 yes. It's David Bowie. Of course the scene would have been good 😄 Yes, Lynch's workaround was interesting, but if Bowie could have done it 💯 , Lynch would have still made his scenes incredible. I view Phillips look in the season to be as a reault of being tossed abiut from lodges and the Dutchman's, through time, so much. If we had David Bowie, we likely could have got some form of dishevelled man , gone almost mad over time. I dunno, im picturing some sort of Apocalypse Now, Conolel Kurtz sorta vibe to the scenes if we had him there.

So many kitties.

I think the problem is that stupid ppl have too figer sht out…on viddy screens.

Just across the sea in Adelaide, South Australia we have a home production of a visceral film based on a series of murders in the 90s called Snowtown, you may or may not know of it but I would say it's a worthy mention

I started watching your video and stopped right away to watch the movie first, as I’ve never heard of it. So thanks for discovery!

What are your thoughts on the prequels? Will you ever review them?

hypothetically wouldn't it be great if you could find this whole film by putting its title into the search bar of a major video server website hypothetically?

Weird. You can’t find this to stream on Netflix or Amazon.

Great video. Would absolutely love if you covered Primer & Forbidden Planet in detail, they're incredible films.

Happy to see a new upload from you ❤️
