They happily share their conspiracy theories online. A mixed bag of professors, artists, musicians and journalists, they believe Kubrick planted secret shout-outs in The Shining: coded clues about the Nazi Holocaust, the native American genocide, homoerotic sexual urges and the “faked” Apollo 11 moon landing.
What is novel, as Rodney Ascher’s entertaining doc Room 237 demonstrates, is how diverse these freaks are. So it’s hardly surprising that obsessive fans of the late Stanley Kubrick would find hidden messages in The Shining, his 1980 psychological horror film, that the famously meticulous director may or may not have intended.

With the right encouragement (or chemical assistance), we’re capable of seeing sex orgies in ink blots, ghosts in windows or a waistline 20 pounds trimmer than it really is. The human brain is a marvellously suggestible organ. At TIFF Bell Lightbox and Bloor Hot Docs Cinema. I think he realized at that point the Hotel wanted to kill them all.A documentary inquiry into fan obsessions about Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. He probably thought being drunk and giving was better better than hurting his son. The Hotel is basically saying "you give yourself to me and do what I want or I'm going to make you molest your child." A part of Jack probably wanted to mentally check out after that. The Father's Love scene is a hint at his worst fear coming true. Before that it was just breaking him down. When he drank that first drink in the Hotel bar he sold his soul. I think Jack definitely had some of the Shine. Things a lot worse than Jack thinks homosexuality is. The ghosts are aware and do things with and to each other.
Its demon possessed and if you die there you're trapped. The Hotel represents and basically is a den of depravity. Jack hasn't molested Danny but he's terrified deep down that he will. Deep down the wife suspects the truth too. He's everything Jack isn't and isn't that what we are usually attracted to? It's scares Jack on a very subconscious level.

He describes his tan arms, golden skin and the blond hairs on them. On top of it when ever Jack describes him physically its like he's attracted to him. But the student he beat up and lost his job over was probably gay. In the book when he beats up a student the guy cries out " you hate me because you know." or something close too that. He has repressed homosesexual tendencies ( which he has tangled up with the emotions of being molested) and that's why he hates himself and strikes out. He was probably attracted to Al which was a friend in the book work got him the job at the hotel. I think Jack was the one who was molested. I've read the book and watched the movie. Check out Rob Ager's video below for further analysis of Kubrick's famous scene. Kubrick opted not to go further into the backstory, instead, he used the scene as just another building block in his nerve-wracking Jenga tower of tension. Similar to the Beetle switch, however, the bear was actually a dog in the novel. Kubrick did decide to keep some things, and it turns out that the bear scene was one of them. But when Dick Halloran is making his perilous journey through a blizzard back up to the Overlook Hotel, he passes a red Beetle crushed by an 18-wheeler. In the movie, the Beetle is yellow and the snowcat is red. For example, in the book, the snowcat is yellow and Jack’s Volkswagon Beetle is red. The changes appeared in minor details rather than in overarching story structure. Stanley Kubrick famously tried to distance himself from Stephen King's novel, but he did so in a way that seemed more like an attempt to tease the author rather than set himself apart. Yes, we're finally getting to the bottom of The Shining bear.
There's plenty of speculation surrounding hidden meanings and conspiracy theories of The Shining (a feature-length documentary's worth, to be exact) but the strangest part of the film may forever be Wendy's sudden discovery of a man in a work suit receiving fellatio from a man in a bear suit. Kubrick's biggest WTF moment is finally explained - The Shining bear.
