We never see the individuals, but hear their thoughts, with director Rodney Asher combining footage from The Shining with cartoons, newsreels, behind-the-scenes videos and a variety of illustrative clips.And according to these guys, The Shining is chock-full of hidden messages, mysteries and meanings. Their theories vary from the profound to the absurd, claiming the films subtext to be everything from a comment on the genocide of the Native Americans to a Holocaust analogy to an apology for the directors part in the faked moon landing.Some of the theories are sublime, with an examination of the geography of the Overlook Hotel genuinely enlightening.Others are ridiculous, most notably a lengthy sequence thats spent theorising on the importance of the number 42 in the film.
