A Movie Worth Watching Twice

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2017)

After watching The Shinning for a second time I began to realize small details that I didn't notice while watching the first time. Kubrick left small and subtle details unexplained. These small details explains much bigger things that some people may not realize. Native American genocide was subtly hinted throughout the movie. We first hear about this when the hotel manager is telling Jack that the Overlook Hotel was built on "Indian" Burial Grounds. Later in the film Jack is seen throwing a ball at a Native American art. Jack killed Dick Holloraan on a native drawing on the ground. Lastly Wendy is seen wearing dresses similar the the native American culture and her hair is black and bone straight. I enjoyed analyzing this film and enjoyed watching it too. I was able to think about was has happening and what the connection may be to other things in the movie instead of just watching it and moving on. This was the first movie I watched twice to find small details that I didn't notice.
