I think the last film i saw was Psycho, I dont know what took me so long to get round to watching it...I thought it was quite good. On second thoughts...I think the last film was The Virgin Suicides, although I didnt see it to the end, does anyone know what happens? Apart from they all kill themselves, I presume.. Huh

The last movie I saw was The Shining. I hadn't seen it in a long time. It's one of my favorite movies, because it's so intricate. I've always been puzzled by the ending scene where "Jack's" face is among the other faces in the group photo located in the ballroom. I haven't read the novel by Stephen King, which probably explains everything. But I found an article about the hidden meaning of the movie. It may just be a theory. If you're a fan of the movie or of Kubrick's, you might find it interesting.


Bill Blakemore

"The Family of Man"

Copyright 1987, San Francisco Chronicle

Fans found it surprising in 1980 when Kubrick turned out a movie that was apparently no more than a horror film. The action took place at the Overlook Hotel in Colorado, where the winter caretaker, a chilling Jack Nicholson, became progressively madder and tried to murder his wife and his telepathic son.

But The Shining is not really about the murders at the Overlook Hotel. It is about the murder of a race - the race of Native Americans - and the consequences of that murder.

Calumet Connection

If you are skeptical about this, consider the Calumet baking powder cans with their Indian chief logo that Kubrick placed carefully in the two food-locker scenes. (A calumet is a peace pipe.) Consider the Indian motifs that decorate the hotel, and the way they serve as background in many of the key scenes. Consider the insertion of two lines, early in the film, describing how the hotel was built on an Indian burial ground. These are "confirmers" such as puzzle-makers often use to tell you you're on the right track.The Shining is also explicitly about America's general inability to admit to the gravity of the genocide of the Indians - or, more exactly, its ability to "overlook" that genocide. Not only is the site called the Overlook Hotel with its Overlook Maze, but one of the key scenes takes place at the July 4th Ball. That date, too, has particular relevance to American Indians. That's why Kubrick made a movie in which the American audience sees signs of Indians in almost every frame, yet never really sees what the movie's about. The film's very relationship to its audience is thus part of the mirror that this movie full of mirrors holds up to the nature of its audience.

Bloody Empire

The film is about how the all-male British military establishment, itself forged in bloody empire-building, passed on to its off-spring continental empire, the United States, certain timeworn army-building methods, including separating weak males from the balancing influence of their more sensitive womenfolk and children. The Shining is also about America's current racism, particularly against blacks. Stuart Ullman tells the caretaker's wife Wendy in the only lines in the film in which the Indians are mentioned. Ullman says, "The site is supposed to be located on an Indian burial ground, and I believe they actually had to repel a few Indian attacks as they were building it." This bit of dialogue does not appear in Stephen King's novel The Shining. The first and most frequently seen of the film's very real American "ghosts" is the flooding river of blood that wells out of the elevator shaft, which presumably sinks into the Indian burial ground itself. The blood squeezes out in spite of the fact that the red doors are kept firmly shut within their surrounding Indian artwork embellished frames. We never hear the rushing blood. It is a mute nightmare. It is the blood upon which this nation, like most nations, was built, as was the Overlook Hotel.

[Visual Puzzle

As with some of his other movies, Kubrick ends The Shining with a powerful visual puzzle that forces the audience to leave the theater asking, "What was that all about?"The Shining ends with an extremely long camera shot moving down a hallway in the Overlook, reaching eventually the central photo among 21 photos on the wall. The caption reads: "Overlook Hotel-July 4th Ball-1921." The answer to this puzzle, which is a master key to unlocking the whole movie, is that most Americans overlook the fact that July Fourth was no ball, nor any kind of Independence day, for native Americans; that the weak American villain of the film is the re-embodiment of the American men who massacred the Indians in earlier years; that Kubrick is examining and reflecting on a problem that cuts through the decades and centuries.

Sound of Moviegoers

And in a final stroke of brilliance, Kubrick physically melds the movie audience leaving his film with the ghostly revelers in the photograph. As the credits roll, the soundtrack ends, and we hear the 1920s audience applaud, and then the gabble of that audience talking among themselves - the same sound the crowd of moviegoers itself is probably making as it leaves the theater. It is the sound of people moving out of one stage of consciousness into another. The moviegoers are largely unaware of this soundtrack, and this reflects their unawareness that they've just seen a movie about themselves, about what people like them have done to the American Indian and to others. Thus to its very last foot, this film is trying to break through the complacency of its audience, to tell it, "You were, are, the people at the Overlook Ball." The opening music, over the traveling aerial shots of a tiny yellow Volkswagon penetrating the magnificent American wilderness, is the "Dies Irae" ("Day of Wrath"), part of the major funeral mass of the European Roman Catholic Church. This movie is a funeral, among other things. And it was Hitler's Germany, another genocidal culture, that first produced the Volkswagen. At the end of the movie, in the climactic chase in the Overlook Maze, the moral maze of America and of all mankind in which we are chased by the sins of our fathers ("Danny, I'm coming. You can't get away. I'm right behind you"), the little boy Danny escapes by retracing his own steps (an old Indian trick) and letting his father blunder past.

Dude Kevin Nash is brilliant in this movie, he is a rough ass guard but they sneak into the locker room and replace his steroids with estrogen, so he starts acting all feminine and shit which is hilarious.

Stone Cold is great he is a racist guard who calls Nelly a nigger a few times which is interesting to see.

Goldberg pulls off a good performance as well, I was really surprised and proud of them for doing great.

Last movie  I watched was "Blow"
Johnny Depp is extraordinary in this.

Timothy when I go back to my girlfriends house I am going to see "Cinderella Man' first thing, in my shit ass small town we didnt get it.

Being a lifelong boxing fan I pretty much already know how the story goes but I want to see it anyway.

Its been a long time since I read the novel, but I dont believe that is even in the novel. Kubrick took alot of liberties with the story. That is why King did the remake for television which pretty much follows the book religiously.
