 Is Stanley Kubrick's feature film the Shining full of hidden messages and confessions?  Is it about Native Americans? Bulls? Or his confession that he faked the moon landing for NASA - all this is discussed in Room 237.

Summary: A subjective documentary that explores the numerous theories about the hidden meanings within Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining (1980). The film may be over 30 years old but it continues to inspire debate, speculation, and mystery. Five very different points of view are illuminated through voice over, film clips, animation and dramatic reenactments. Together they'll draw the audience into a new maze, one with endless detours and dead ends, many ways in, but no way out.

Stephen Crane

The amount of theory based nonsense about all films, let alone Stanley Kubrick's films, boggles my mind. I take the advice of the advertising for Last House On The Left. "Keep telling yourself, it's just a movie".

I agree. I think there's a tendency to over-analyze Kubrick's films that stems from the fact that the man was so detail-oriented in his work. The fallacy is that, because Kubrick spent so much time and effort on the details, some people think there has to be more to his films than what is readily apparent on the screen. Some of the folks in this movie are just plain koo-koo.

All I know about The Shining is that I really liked it, especially because Stephen King didn’t like it. Which is a bit petulant of me but I admit it and that takes the sting out of it.

Awesome!

I think the movie is a berserk delight. Imagine the time and energy required to make a religion out of continuity errors. "The Shinning" starts to disappear into the theories and conspiracies and I have a sneaky feeling the makers of "Room 237" were actually interested in how people invest in this sort of obsessive thinking. Nothing about the Kubrick movie is revealed, but you do learn a great deal about one fixated slice of human nature. You get the same feeling from watching another soul testing documentary, "Behind the Curve," which takes a similar dead-pan look at people who are absolutely certain the Earth is flat.

The film was based on the novel by Stephen King. Did any of these theorists even consider that? I think that King meant to write a very, very scary story, and Kubrick meant to bring that story to life on film. I think that the film The Shining is pretty good, but not as scary as the book, and the "documentary" Room 237 is a lot of people who need to get another hobby.

I think one of the reason so many people have turned this Kubrick film, above all of his films, into a giant Rorschach blot is that the film is that the film is ambiguous as to whether the ghosts are actually there or if they are all in Jack's head. That and the fact that Kubrick's methodical use of long tracking shots and extended takes gives you the chance for your eyes to absorb the scenes. But this is also a trait of some other horror films like Argento's films or the original Haunting, or even outside of horror, how about the films of Leone. This is a case of the myth of Kubrick crashing into people who have a little too much time on their hands and turn their fetishes onto a a very good film.

If fairness most of the theories are based around stuff Kubrick changed from the novel, which of course gives more fuel to the theories; why did he change it? Most famously, the room number was changed which is why 237 gets so much attention.
