The Shining Analysis

Spoilers for The Shining, 2001, Dr Strangelove, and vague hints of spoilers for Eraserhead.

This analysis was a long time coming, considering it's not only one I had been intending to do for years and even hinted at in a previous video, but also because it's the film that everybody has an opinion on. This is partially why it was so difficult for me to make a video - what could I say that wasn't just re-wording someone else's work?

Most films I discuss on this channel I discuss with very little insight from critics or other youtubers. I just watch the movie, write notes, and share what I wrote. The Shining is no exception in that that's how I made this analysis, but it is an exception in that I have seen lots of discussion on what the film means. Of course, some interpretations are a little far-fetched (which I address briefly towards the end of the video), but I don't want to be discouraged from covering this film altogether so here's what I found worth talking about with Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Enjoy!
