Room 237
Directed by Rodney Ascher
Five fans of THE SHINING explain their bizarre theories about the film's true meaning in this must-see doc about the passion Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film inspires in viewers. One fan thinks the film is about the slaughter of Native Americans, while another thinks it's about the supposedly faked Apollo 11 moon landing. But whether you agree with their outlandish conjectures (and no contradictory historical evidence is included) or not is less the point than the power cinematic creations have to lodge themselves in our brain and never let go. Contains violence and gore.

Crackpot conspiracy theories mixed with the worst disney style fan-fic. Even the guys around the corner from where I live holding signs that say "the end is nigh" and "everything is connected" make more sense that these wakkos.
what a crock. That poster of a Skier is actually a minotaur? come on now. Y'all sound as kooky as the "It's Aliens" guy.

Room 237 is a fascinating watch. How does the viewer change a movie? Is the filmmaker's word on what a film "means" the last word? The stories and meanings recounted in Room 237 may be different from yours, mine, and Kubrick's. But one movie will be seen very differently by a WW2 historian, a journalist, and other viewpoints recounted in this intriguing film.
This is pure shit
