Review of Room 237 (2012) by Courtney K — 13 Feb 2014

This was mega interesting. even if half of the things they suggested were true, that would still make The Shining so much more complex than I or any other normal person would have thought. i've been sitting here trying to think of a nice compact way to give an overview of what they talk about in the film, and I just can't.

I could go on and on and on. basically, though, the main theme is that Kubrick was only 'pretending' to film The Shining, when in actuality there's so much symbolism that was meticulously placed that he's telling a completely different story than Stephen King's novel -- and the proof that they provided does not seem too far off kilter, either.

granted, there were a few things I thought they were really stretching for... but all in all I thought this was fantastic and i'm tempted to watch it again because I feel like I missed so much. ..

.after I watch The Shining again, that is :).
