What are the differences in interpretation between director Stanley Kubrick and author Stephen King regarding "The Shining"? Why does protagonist Jack quote British writer Kipling’s poem in the bar of the ballroom? Who unlocked the storage room door? What is the meaning of the ghostly conversation after the end credits? What purpose do the symbols of Native American beliefs serve? Why was the haunted room number changed from 217 to 237—was it due to the objections of the hotel manager where it was filmed, or is there another intention? Five experts analyze hidden clues, revealing thirty years of secrets in film history. From an annual flop to a masterpiece in cinema history, no film has had such legendary ups and downs as the horror classic "The Shining." As film critics interpret the Native American symbols in the imagery, and fans point out plot inconsistencies and visual errors, director Rodney Ascher unites five authorities from different fields for a comprehensive decoding of the film’s codes. Seemingly unrelated arguments unexpectedly form a wonderful puzzle. "I'm not sure if we've solved the mystery of 'The Shining,' but we hope to shed a glimmer of light on the connections of artistic masterpieces, whether it's in film, 'The Last Supper,' or Madonna's 'Like a Virgin.'"
