    These stupid ass conspiracy theorists are just hilarious. The stuff they think was put in this film is js normal things in the background. Its not a hint of the holocaust or a sexual enuendo or a nazi typewriter. These idiots think everything is deliberately set in to make u think that way. Stop looking for dumb stuff that doesn't even make sense. Its js a damn movie js watch it and shut TF up u bunch of idiotic conspiracy theorists. Yall probably think the earth is flat and we never landed on the moon because the video of the astronauts on the moon means one of em has a massive hard-on and the light coming in the GD windows is because its supposed to be daylight outside. Ur obviously all stupid democrats, bunch of idiots Get a life find something constructive to do. I hope yall dont reproduce

    Interesting documentary showing the kind of diverse thought that Kubrick’s The Shining has inspired. Unfortunately had to take points off for the guy who apparently didn’t get the memo that the subject of this documentary was the film The Shining and NOT about alleged faked moon landing footage. He interrupts the flow of the film not just once but twice for considerable amounts of wasted time.

    Excellent show. Lot of interesting and unnoticed information with insight and thoughts as to why it was done that why that way.
