Kubrick, The Shining, Woodrow Wilson & The Federal Reserve




Jay Weidner's Kubrick documentary still holds steady though this stunning deconstruction of The Shining by Rob Ager is a fantastic complimentary addition to Kubrick's work, detailing that the Shining also serves as a meta narrative to the venality of the Federal Reserve. It all adds up and what becomes very clear is Kubrick's genius for commenting on a number of critical contemporary issues all at the same time. 

This is a must watch four parter on Youtube. Via Dangerous Minds.
