Description
Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film masterpiece "The Shining" is examined in a detailed, scene-by-scene analysis by cultural critic John David Ebert. The film is seen as a struggle between repetition and difference, with the protagonist's attempt to break free from the hotel's cycle of events. Ebert draws on philosophical theory to explore the film's themes and the process of the protagonist's breakthrough.
