The Shining is one of the greatest horror films of all time: not just because it tells a great story, but because it exposes the depths of human life, addressing psychology and alcoholism alongside the mysteries of the supernatural, blurring the lines between family dynamics, class conflict, and metaphysical questions like the nature of time and being. The failure of rationalism fosters a crisis of morality. The nature of evil and innocence are seen in the light of assimilation and the loss of self vs. the individual who acts on his own responsibility. The way we act shapes the way we PERCEIVE the world itself. A man comes to delight in the very things which once horrified him; a family you might encounter in daily life will find themselves reliving history.
