Film buffs please don’t crucify, but I couldn’t finish that shit it was so boring. My “Classics” are shit like The evil Dead and American werewolf in London.

Do you have to be like wired differently to enjoy that film?

Kubrick’s movies are slow but get better each time you tackle them. Most also have pretty obvious leftwing messages: Spartacus is about a slave revolt (the writer was blacklisted I believe), Paths of Glory is anti-war, The Shining is about American genocide and the horror of the bourgeois family, Eyes Wide Shut is about Kubrick getting assassinated because he discovered Epstein decades early. 2001 might be his most rightwing film? It’s about human evolution and tools and has a strong Nietzschian element, but the film’s writer, Arthur C. Clarke, was not a rightwing dude and was definitely interested in cooperation at least between the USA and the USSR (which is positively depicted in 2001 and 2010).

There’s actually a great documentary about all the different theories about the shining you should definitely check out. I can’t remember the name but you can probably find it on the google. I’ll search for it if you aren’t successful.

Nice, that is hilarious. I have a big book of his short stories I should probably read at some point. I read the entire 2001 series quite awhile ago but don’t remember this.
