If movies are the dominant art form of the 20th century, and I think they are, then we can best understand what they’re about by looking at the best movie maker of the 20th century.
I was planning on watching the Shining with my son this weekend as part of our October Thriller/ Halloween movie weekends and I appreciate reading your analysis. Can't wait to make my own observations and dive into yours when I rewatch the film. Good work Ted.
I'm not a huge Kubrick fan because I feel he goes and puts his spin on novels, specifically The Shining and Full Metal Jacket (The Short-Timers). However, with Eyes Wide Shut I think he did something special. It's my favourite Kubrick film. You've touched on points I hadn't considered. Thanks for that!
