Guest Pennywise Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I think the impossible hallway doors and confusing sense of where all the rooms are and how they connect to eachother are deliberate. Obviously the maze changed 3 times so that has to be deliberate too. God those twins are creepy.

Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 it seems to me that, at least in the case of the impossible doors on the floor above the colorado lounge, there was a desired symmetry in the layout of the hallway set. it makes for more compelling viewing and allows the viewer to stay concentrated on danny as he rides around on his big wheel, as opposed to having a blank wall on the left/right (respectively) sides of the shot disrupt the horizontal balance. eh? the gold room is pretty perplexing though, i definitely have to agree there. and why, i wonder, were there stairs leading up to the apartment entrance just inside the door? that could have been deliberate, and is sneaky no doubt.

Or maybe it's just there to confuse us so we're like, 'huh? Helicopters? What? Omfg, nobody told me about any helicopters?'.

Guest Mirezzi Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Damn...didn't realize an entire thread was dedicated to this very strange YouTube video. I will post later and even share some of my thoughts, including an exchange with two anti-Kubrick feminists from last year. Needless to say, it's cute and quite a labor but I find Ager's close textual analysis of the sets of The Shining stultifyingly boring, as though the author were unaware of the most basic ingredients of Hollywood narrative editing.
