Adam Polselli has writen a great analysis of The Shining’s hallway scene.
“During a scene in Stanley Kubrick’s horror film The Shining (1980), when Danny envisions the girls in a hallway of the Overlook Hotel, Kubrick’s editing in both the classical and montage style heightens suspense, creates dramatic tension, and suggests Danny’s psychological state.”
A great analysis of my favorite director.
Two of my favorite elective classes at college studied both Kubrick and Hitchcock. There’s something about sitting in a darkened theatre-like classroom watching movies and then discussing the methods used to induce fear, anxiety, and the like that just screams “good learning”.
