Brilliant, with Possible Subtext

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2014)

The Shining is one of the most monumental movies by Stanley Kubrick. Many people have issues with the fact that it didn't closely follow the original book, and contained themes outside of the original work's realm.
Some conspiracy theories also surround the movie. The most popular of these, is that Stanley Kubrick hints that he filmed the moon landing and that he was apologizing for taking part in a huge government lie. Other theories include that the hotel they are staying in is hell, the film is about the Holocaust, the film is a metaphor for CIA mind control, the Illuminati killed Kubrick, and many others.
Overall, this film is a classic, and the replay value of the movie is extensively increased with all the conspiracy theories that surround it. 10/10
