The Shining Analysis

As we continue our study of The Shining, and going through the viewing guide, we'll also be watching, reading, and discussing some interesting and compelling analyses. There are hundreds of theories and and ideas about what the film truly means, and we'll sift through them and discuss their validity. There's a neat documentary, Room 237, that showcases a few of these crazy analyses--like The Shining is actually about the moon landing being staged by Kubrick, or the film being about the US Government's genocide of Native Americans. Sounds crazy, right? Interesting ideas...and fun!
