This blog will be all about film reviews. I'm going to be watching a lot of movies, writing reviews, and hopefully not spoiling any movies you plan to watch.
Director: Rodney Ascher
Verdict: Thumbs Down Following the theories of numerous film critics, Room 237 details how people have come view The Shining and what Stanley wanted it to represent. Throughout the film, we get little monologues of different film critics and their interpretation of The Shining, Their theories range from the movie being about the genocide of the Native American Indians to Kubrick confessing that he faked the moon landing, all the way to Kubrick breaking the laws of physics. Many of these theories focus on small details in the film like baking soda with a Native American on the box to Danny wearing an Apollo 11 sweater. Many of the theories, though definitely out there, make an amount of sense. However, none of the theorists acknowledged the other’s theories. Room 237 gives a very unique few of The Shining, highlighting different areas of the film that may one may have missed just watching the film. It shows how much of a cult The Shining has and how Kubrick’s directing style, his attention to detail, can lead people to take their own view on the film, all while still getting his feeling of emotion.
