Man, these shining analysis videos really are crazy. They just take it way too far. It’s an in depth movie, but most of these theories are just crazy

God you're irritating.

The Cohen brothers polluted this video.

I respect your dedication

2:21:06 Oh, these aren't homemade. They were made in a factory. A *bomb* factory. They're bombs.

Nonsense

So what?

Fractals!

This is better than the film itself.

Its Just a movie, horror movie with all lights turn on, there is no deeper meaning, no hidden messages

there’s a 217 in the elevator scene, the level indicators pointing to 2 and 1, and 7 red symbols in the horizontal section just below.

Where did your other videos go?

@deltabuilder Joe Girard's videos annoy me because he uses puns and word play to create associations that aren't there. As though that is a form of analyzing the film. In Philosophy and Linguistics, and early fundamental rule in making a point is that the meaning of words themselves are important, but when a word is referenced with a generally accepted definition and meaning, that is clearly enough to base your response and analysis on. The 'we' definition of something is implied to be suitable for nothing else but the accepted version. Even "Eye Scream" is just a pun. He presents word play like evidence. Rob Ager does this and believes it to be clever or evidence. Literal analysis doesn't include word play. It's a fallacy to try to rearrange a word or reinterpret it if the intent is the generally accepted definition. In Kubrick's films, the themes are somewhat verbally communicated, but more often, ice cream is just a thing that kids eat. The ice cream isn't a metaphor. The types of people who try this approach will take it to extremes with other fallacies until there is a very convoluted story that develops like psychosis. The Shining seems to do this to people because of all its open-ended confusion. That was the intent of all the misdirection.

Hitchcock's granddaughter was studying film and chose to analyse one of her grandfather's films for the course. She also got him to analyse it as an exercise in interpretation. He described what he meant and the choices he made through the process of making it. She failed. What Hitchcock meant in making the film was incorrect, according to the lecturer. Hitch's analysis of his own work was apparently missing basic interpretations, and overreaching on other points. Humans look for patterns and find matches and relevances everywhere they look.

That damn helicopter shadow bothers me so much seeing that everything else is so meticulous and purposeful.

How long did this analysis take to make its by far the nost indepth analysis on YT

I take issue with the claim that the Fibonacci sequence was used to compose shots since they’re dealing with a moving image and you can stop it at any point to make the sequence match. The rest of this is exactly why we have conspiracy brained people that are actively ruining the world.

I'm not wholly convinced but this is a lot of fun, all the same. Thanks for sharing the madness!

This is a great example of brilliance or insanity I’m not sure which.

How did you know what paintings and books were in the individual frames of the film? Some are so small, or even facing away from the camera, that I don't see how you could make a visual correlation out of such little information.

How do I watch your other series of videos?

If you ever want to discus neurology, and patterns that I have found, not about this movie hopefully someone sees and decides to respond to this comment.

Im not even half way through i dont know if i can put up with this nonsense for much longer lol

What?

STOP THIS MADNESS!!!!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH! <3

New subscriber Kubrick fan

Although it's incredibly difficult to find all the information you and others have found in this one film. It is doable with the help of technology. My question has to be. Just how was creating all these seemingly thousands of anomalies possible in reality? I know this isn't going to sound rational but my thoughts lead me to the super natural. Kubrick was a 33 degree Free Mason, and they do have strong ties with Satanism (at least in the higher levels). A teacher at our high school was obsessed with this film. He raved about it to other teachers when it came out. He murdered his wife with a knife the same year. I love this movie but it has always felt like maybe there was more to it and may affect some people differently. Satan is a real being and uses anything he can to manipulate and turn us from God. I have noticed that most people either love The Shinning or hate it.

Please break down more Kubrick films. These are absolutely brilliant!

Meaningless vid !

This is gay

The inspiration for the pillars of Hercules are not the straights of Gibraltar according to current research and theory. I do hope this doesn't fuck things up.😉 Also.. had you just considered that Kubrick was just making it more interesting for himself and his massive brain? He very much enjoyed the preparation of his projects and was clearly obsessive. He just couldn't help himself on this one. As for any constructed deeper meaning or specific message (beyond the obvious themes) I'm not sure it's there. I don't think they were designed to be found or unravelled, I think he just did it to add to what he saw as an artistic process and maybe he thought he would create a weight, a deeper or more authentic and cerebral 'vibe' (consciously or unconsciously) for his performers and audience. He's like a painter that doesn't know when to stop but it's all done in the preparation before brush even gets to canvas. People then think there's a specific hidden message, when what you actually have is a bunch of references and numerical stuff just to satisfy his own itch. He then leaves it there for people to discover and admire his 'genius'. I think he just enjoyed fucking with people. He's a manipulator. He was probably a bit Aspergersy as well. What I find interesting with Kubrick is not the hidden secret stuff but why he chose to adapt what he did when he did and where he was in his life at the time. Kubrick's version of 'The Shining' is a story about a man who is creatively unfulfilled and irritated by his family. He chooses to isolate them in a big building before going mad with the frustrations of writer's block and then ends up lost and freezing to death in a maze. Maybe Stanley needed a Psychoanalyst or maybe I'm just projecting my own feelings onto the piece.. which is of course how most of us interpret art, right? Someone else in this section said "The way someone analyses and interprets The Shining is a direct representation of their own psyche." I think they've got a fair point. I just rewatched the film for the 20th or so time (which is why I'm here) and what I noticed was how once they're alone in the hotel, all the dialogue between the family members is completely unnatural and not how people really talk to each other at all. Maybe it has something to do with Jack and Shelley's performances but it struck me as odd. They speak to each other in a strangely formal way and also react to each other in an emotionally unnatural way (apart from when he starts swinging the axe obviously). It lacks realism in that respect. Maybe it was intentional, maybe Stanley didn't care about that stuff. It's probably the latter.

try applying mirror form to literally anything and it will work beautifully

You're doing important work my friend (very well I might add); don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. I've always thought of Kubrick as a cinematic genius, but my reasoning had obviously been surface level. Thank you for opening my eyes to the true extent!

Oh Jesus Christ.

I was worried that you might have become normal over the years. Glad to have been proven wrong.

It's a very deep psychological analysis.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Rothschild would give out there invitation to party’s written backwards..

Stanley knows. Stanley gets the last laugh.

The most shocking scene in the shining in my opinion happens at the end of the movie. The picture of the ball on the wall. Ok yes jack is there. But what is more shocking is the date of the ball. Its more significant than anyone realizes. Once you understand this you underetand what this movie is about. Ill sum it up. The name of the hotel is the overlook. This is a story told that audiences will overlook. You probably ove4looked the date. Yet the truth of this date will blow your mind.

The random Beatles songs goes so hard

how do you find obscure art references, like how a painting was in a certain movie 50 years ago? The research and connections are insane and super interesting!

Sometimes a hotdog is just a hotdog.

Old typewriters didn't have a key for number 1. It was unnecessary as the lower case 'L' was exactly the same.

Wow! A lot of stuff to go through, but I'm fascinated by the Tower of Babel reveal. I was trying to sleep, the other night, by listening to a 3 hour video about the Tower of Babel, when I had my epiphany. To discover that the film includes references is a bit of a godsend. and I don't even believe in god. That coupled with the faerie tale references is all I need. "Shining" is exactly as Halloran states, even if it isn't exactly what he believes. The ability to "hold entire conversations without opening our mouths". There is nothing sinister in what he says. it is no darker than claiming god has answered your prayers. But of course, white Christians would probably view it as "voodoo", subject to their ignorant interpretation. But there is nothing scary, or supernatural about it. In fact, if anything, it is SUPER natural. As in, more natural/instinctive than talking in language. It must be how all other life communicates, which suggests it is an ancient skill that was superseded by language. Could it not be that "the god's" actually invented language in order to confuse people? Until everybody learns a language, it is confusing to everybody. Everybody has a Grandma that can stop you with just a look. And a Grandma that can provide the love you need without asking for it. It comes from a strong bond, formed by a nurturing love. And I suspect that is what his Grandmother calls shining. Like a guardian angel shines. She never reveals her secret, of course, because that might destroy her grandsons belief in her, and it's harmless for him to believe it. In fact, Halloran, without a family to shine over, shines for the hotel, and it's guests. * Interesting tidbit I just discovered, "Vodou began when African slaves brought their native traditions with them as they were forcefully transported to the new world. However, they were generally forbidden from practicing their religion. To get around these restrictions, the slaves started to equate their gods with Catholic saints. They also performed their rituals using the items and imagery of the Catholic Church. " I had wondered why, if Halloran's background was voodoo, his gran would use a catholic reference, but maybe that explains it. As a youngster my Grandad would do something similar, but we only saw each other once a week, whereas I imagine Halloran's gran was his permanent guardian. But my Grandad had an uncanny skill of knowing exactly what trouble i had been up to. His claim was that "the little dickie birds told him" I believed in it so much that I was determined to get a catapult [I didn't get one, but I did pay more attention to the whereabouts of birds]. The truth is, he was just very canny at saying the right things to prompt my own little mental breakdown, leading to a full confession. I assume he was wrong on occasion, but the positive reinforcements sufficiently outweighed the failures, to an extent that even today I can't be sure he didn't have the dickie birds on the payroll. I don't think I need to say more about the Faerie Tales, other than to say they were valuable to growing children because they provide the opportunity to confront, and conquer, irrational fears, leaving them less fearful of the real world. And that is the key to the story. Jack goes to the hotel because he is an author looking for isolation. This tells us that he is a believer. He believes, like numerous authors before him, that the solitude will inspire his creativity. He is not afraid of the isolation, he embraces it. I think we should take a closer look at this belief, to see if it holds any credence. Firstly, we have numerous examples of books written in such an environment, and very few accounts of authors butchering their family. Could this be because, absent of life's support structure, we inevitably turn in on ourselves and draw inspiration from our deepest, maybe darkest thoughts? I want to go on, but need some play.

The film is Kubrick's confession. No I'm not talking about the moon landing, lol. Watch the film from the beginning, ignoring every bit of information that numerous views have furnished you with, and I mean everything. Kubrick explains that there is a rational explanation for all supernatural occurrences. He even explains the concept of shining as a perfectly natural thing.

The first thing is very important. You can't watch the film for the first time, again. Therefore you can only watch the film once, without the assumption that Jack massacred his family. And by the time you understand the film there is no question. But if you could watch it again, for the first time, would you see a guilty man, in Jack? Or a guilty woman, in Wendy [as recent theories appear to suggest]? I say no. I say we see a loving, supportive family. Three people of unique identities, each with an active imagination. It's not a horror film, it is a Kubrick film about the process of writing a horror story.

It’s not that deep. Crazy guy tries to murder the family he hated and abused. Seriously not that deep

Another EPIC upload. Thank you, Joe. Amazing.

As crazy as writing “All work and no play makes Jack a Dull Boy!!” on hundreds and hundreds of pages!! Your overall presentation and dedication on this work is so admirable though that I find your level of crazy creativity very encouraging!! Bravo!! 👏
