Guest hahathhat Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Would be better if the video wss narrated by Ulillillia he probably would have kept it more concise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 for example scatman opening the door with one hand in one scene, then switching to the other for the reverse shot. That doesn't make me uneasy, it makes me think Kubrick was sloppy, which I feel pretty sure was the case. Same here. Just strikes me as a continuity error. This video is reaching a little bit, as good as Kubrick was. I'd be more likely to believe it was intentional if he opened the door with his left hand, then the camera angle changed to show him opening a car door with his right hand, then the three of them getting in, then they drive over a rainbow.

Guest Pennywise Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think the impossible hallway doors and confusing sense of where all the rooms are and how they connect to eachother are deliberate. Obviously the maze changed 3 times so that has to be deliberate too. God those twins are creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Looks immensely interesting but I actually have to watch The Shining again before I want to watch this god i'm quoting you again, in the space of 10 minutes. Anyway, i agree. film first, ask questions later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 it was so clever and disorienting that it took over 30 years to discover by someone making an exact map for a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 it seems to me that, at least in the case of the impossible doors on the floor above the colorado lounge, there was a desired symmetry in the layout of the hallway set. it makes for more compelling viewing and allows the viewer to stay concentrated on danny as he rides around on his big wheel, as opposed to having a blank wall on the left/right (respectively) sides of the shot disrupt the horizontal balance. eh? the gold room is pretty perplexing though, i definitely have to agree there. and why, i wonder, were there stairs leading up to the apartment entrance just inside the door? that could have been deliberate, and is sneaky no doubt.

Agreed. Also, had Kubrick been as anal about details in his movies as the guy makes it seems then he probably wouldn't have allowed one of the opening shots to have a clearly visible shadow of the helicopter flying over the landscape. Or maybe it's just there to confuse us so we're like, 'huh? Helicopters? What? Omfg, nobody told me about any helicopters?'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mirezzi Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Damn...didn't realize an entire thread was dedicated to this very strange YouTube video. I will post later and even share some of my thoughts, including an exchange with two anti-Kubrick feminists from last year. Needless to say, it's cute and quite a labor but I find Ager's close textual analysis of the sets of The Shining stultifyingly boring, as though the author were unaware of the most basic ingredients of Hollywood narrative editing.

Dissolvedpaul Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Definitely an interesting watch! Seems so level headed and coherent compared to some of the Analysis I've seen of the movie over the years. For instance this. If you ever thought you had too much time on your hands....
