Here is a link to a website with a really in depth look at some of the symbolism in The Shining.

Interesting to note that he believes that the sweater doesn't say Apollo 11, I strongly disagree with that notion.



Great link to a great blog. The thing about the light switches appearing and disappearing was good. Stuff like this lets you know that Kubrick is putting a lot of thought into his movies. There are no mistakes. He is putting serious clues in there.

It's a light bulb moment. Stanley is flipping the switch.

Something that is absolutely amazing is the part early in the movie, on the car ride to the hotel, the conversation turns to a tale of snow-bound cannibalism, Wendy isn't sure little Danny should be hearing such things, Danny says it is alright because he saw a show about it on television, and Jack says with extreme sarcasm "See, it's okay. He saw it on the television".

The whole world believes in the Moon landing simply because they saw it on the television. Later in the movie Danny is actually wearing an Apollo 11 sweater for crying out loud! Well of course it must be true. He saw it on the television!

Man, that is odd. Can you explain that a bit more. How did you and your 5th grade friends come to this conclusion that the Earth was being used as a Moon setting?

We did not come to that conclusion. We were trying to understand the plot.

We thought that in the past that man evolved on the Moon and somehow came to Earth. That was why the monolith was found on the Moon. We thought it was part of the plot: that somehow, early Man left the Moon (and their beloved monolith) and came to Earth. Then the ape-men evolved and now re-discover the monolith. Silly and totally wrong, yes, but we were just kids and none of us read the book at that age. It was the only way we could explain how the monolith was on the Earth and the Moon.

Of course, once old enough to read and understand the book, our playground musings were rendered quite wrong indeed.

Only now, after reading the articles suggested by the OP, 30 years later, do I realize how this notion may have been purposely crafted into the movie by the director and sat dormant until now.

I always thought Kubrick was the most talented Director ever to walk to earth, but now I know he is magnitudes more talented.
