I love the quote at the end of the second part "All Stanley's life he said, 'Never, ever go near power. Don't become friends with anyone who has real power. It's dangerous" |

Good quote, yes. Explains his move to England. I dunno, when it comes to all these theories floating around the Shining, I'm never left fully sastified. Did you watch ? |

I haven't watched that one, I watched another one by the guy who did the video I posted, about the layout of the overlook hotel being physically impossible to subconsciously effect the viewer in an eerie way, I believe that is true as Kubrick was notoriously meticulous when it came to every aspect of the his film productions |

Now you're talking. Give me anything Kubrick. Haven't watched this one, will have to do so. I also recommend Room 237 - brings together a lot of the theories, including the one about the overlooks layout. Kubrick definitely played around with sub narratives. Native American genocide I buy. It is quite obvious. Not so sure about the moon landing stuff, all interesting however and well thought out. I'm also afraid of flying. Will watch this viddy later. For now though standing in a long queue, about to see Depeche Mode. Cool techno emanating from the stadium. |

I think his observations are valid and some of these details may very well have been intentional. I don’t why, but that photo is just so spooky. Something sinister about the look of those people. Leaves me feeling uneasy, in an interested way. I will watch more of this Ager fellows stuff now. Wouldn’t mind those dvds either. Just a quick log in log out from me now. Gtg |

Hey yes, that photo gives me the creeps as well, I think probably because they are all obvious elitists, the men in particular have very stern looks |

yes he is insightful, I don't agree with everything he says mind, like his interpretation of the monolith in 2001 as the cinema screen I think is unsatisfactory, |
||||||||

That is a common observation, I've always liked it. When bowman is pointing to the monolith (screen), he is actually pointing at us, the audience, breaking the 4th wall. Or something like that. I think I may have seen some of these videos b4 |

yes I like that it is an interpretation on one level, that we the audience are the uncomprehending chimpanzees, I don't think its the literally message behind the film, but one of many |

Kubrick never offered any interpretations, so we can try to theorise until we go blue in the face. His movies are endlessly detailed. It all seems so precise and a lot of it is, but he would ofc change some of it as it went along to, like Ager said, with the gold room, also rewriting during the shining. It's a smorgasbord of details. That's why it's so damn compelling. Narratives, hidden meanings aside, on the surface I've always loved his movies for the acting and excellently framed shots. I sit up straight when watching Kubrick. Few other films grab my attention like that. When people speak, I listen. There's an immediacy to it which I love. |

yes that's my issue. the guy presents his interpretation as the definite answer, where I don't think there is one, which is why its compelling because its a mystery. Its partially why the new alien films are annoying in that regard cos Ridley Scott is now saying how things are in his mind when that wasn't the original intention of the script writers |

Rob Ager's videos are decent for someone who was a former UKIP rep |
||||||||

I like the videos that these two guys make also: |
||||||||

|

yes he comes across as a bit of a bellend on some of his videos, he seems insightful over all though |
||||||||

cheers for links will check them out |
