If you are a fan of Kubrick but didn't like The Shining

Posted by RGA on May 12, 2021 at 07:15:01:
This video may change your mind.
As film buffs you know that Kubrick was OCD when it came to every single shot in his films and no detail was overlooked or too small.
You will also know that Stephen King didn't like the film because it left parts out.
Well, this video has an entirely different take on the film and it's called the Wendy Theory where in fact there was no Shining in the Shining and that Jack was a good guy and in fact, it was Wendy who was batcrap crazy and was suffering from schizophrenia and Munchausen's syndrome.
Unfortunately, the narration is a robot voice style so if you can try to get past that and give it 10 minutes you can begin to see a very strong case for this theory. And that changes the entire film, the perspectives, and hell it changes the entire focus of the film's central character.
It's now a film about a mental disorder and not about supernatural abilities and ghosts in a hotel. There is a solid case to be made that it was Wendy suffering severe mental illness possibly brought on by isolation. Regardless, the analysis is a fun one.
