So tell me a lil' bit about what in the hell Room 237 is about Janey... "Well ok... Blakemore is convinced that the evidence is overwhelming that "The Shining" depicts "the genocidal armies of the white men with their axes," and one of the images he points to is a stack of Calumet Baking Powder cans in the hotel's kitchen storeroom that is replete with Native American imagery.
Similarly convinced but moving the theme to Europe is college professor Geoffrey Cocks, who believes "The Shining" is Kubrick's take on the Holocaust. For evidence, among other things, he points to the fact that a German typewriter factors in the story and notices that the number 42 appears a lot in the film. That refers, Cocks is convinced, to 1942, the year in which the Nazis put the Final Solution into practice. Jane is left to wonder, what is our truest shining?"
and shine this "bye."
and shine this "bye."
