What a piece of shit, it even tries to tell the audience that the the moon landing was faked...

This came off as the rambling of lunatics to me. Maybe I'm just a skeptic...

IF anything, this movie opened my eyes to the exciting world of rambling maniacs. It's a real (crazy) achievement when you can say you've paid more attention to detail than Kubrick ever did. Not good at all.

Remember in your high school English class you would read a ten line poem about a horse and then spend two weeks analyzing it, culminating in an 5 page essay where you argue the horse represents Columbus, it's hay represents atrocities against Native Americans, and his owner the King and Queen of Spain? This is that experience put to film. Danny wearing an Apollo sweater? That symbolizes how Kubrick faked the Moon landing. Source you ask? Super reliable guy who says he has friends that say he's right and the government is tracking him. Redrum and Danny hiding his tracks by walking backwards? That means Kubrick wants you to watch the movie in reverse at the same time as watching it forwards so you'll notice that sometimes peoples faces slightly overlap and Jack's name in the starting credits lines up with his picture at the end of the movie. We'll just ignore how the picture takes up the entire screen and the credits scroll up so at some point they will be in the middle of the screen. However when you go back and read that poem about the horse? Turns out it's just about a horse because horses are cool. Apollo sweater? Space is cool. I'm sure if Kubrick put Danny in a T-Rex sweater he would have claimed Kubrick knew dinosaurs aren't real. Redrum? Sounds cool, spells murder backwards, and is easy for a six year old to say. Danny hiding his tracks by walking backwards? A smart move by Danny. In the end sometimes a horse poem is just about a horse. Do yourself a favor, avoid this and rewatch The Shining, read it's Wikipedia page, and a 10 minute YouTube video about cool things throughout the movie.

While something's definitely not right about Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining", I don't think I can buy any of the conspiracy theories presented in "Room 237". This documentary is entirely frustrating. All of the presenters come off as twisted or at the very least, trying too hard to discover something...anything, that explains the strange imagery that Kubrick put in his film. What is most disappointing is that the filmmaker seems to be making fun of the people it is documenting. It's practically snarky and it wouldn't have been a stretch if the director had filmed himself snickering at the conspiracy theorists. Maybe I need to give this another viewing. The idea of "Room 237" is so intriguing because "The Shining" is so strange. I really wanted to discover some hidden message that lives within its run time but "Room 237" didn't deliver it.
