You come out of a movie and begin to discuss your impressions with a friend only to hear your pal say, \u201cHey, relax, it\u2019s only a movie!\u201d This is the kind of outlook that had led to experts holding film\u2019s role as a mere stepchild to great painting and literature.  When you come out of Stanley Kubrick\u2019s \u201cThe Shining,\u201d or his \u201c2001: A Space Odyssey,\u201d or his \u201cFull Metal Jacket\u201d or \u201cClockwork Orange,\u201d you\u2019re likely to find true art, the equivalent of classic literature.  Many things are there to discuss, however, though most of these post-film chats would deal with the quality of the direction or the acting or production design or what-have-you.  But dig more deeply into a Kubrick film and you may find that the master\u2014who is said to have had an I.Q. of 200\u2014had placed challenges within his works that only most prescient of film buffs would discover.  In fact if you were to see in \u201cThe Shining\u201d what Rodney Ascher, director of \u201cRoom 237\u201d did,  and tried to convince your pals of some off-the-wall interpretations, you might be laughed out of Starbucks where you hoped to make salient points.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know to this day whether Kubrick intended to throw symbols into \u201cThe Shining\u201d as though he were challenging moviegoers into finding them if they stared hard enough or saw the film enough times.  He did not leave any interviews, any magazine articles or books revealing this intention\u2014like the magician who even on his deathbed would not reveal his tricks.  But this omission is the very thing that allows Ascher to glorify Kubrick as a man who not only could scare the bejeezus out of us and to show how immensely talented Jack Nicholson could be, but one who like the designer of a crossword puzzle would tantalize us into a Kabbalistic analysis. For example, did you know that the number 237 was chosen because 2 x 3 x 7 equals 42 and that the Holocaust began in Europe in 1942?  I didn\u2019t know of that relationship and perhaps Kubrick himself didn\u2019t know, but Ascher has fun for over an hour and a half with his fetching theories including one that indicates that Hotel Overlook in the Colorado Rockies in which the action takes place was chosen because it was built on an Indian burial ground. And what\u2019s more, \u201cThe Shining\u201d is really about the Holocaust and about the genocide committed by the U.S. against Native Americans. <\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to believe this, and probably most of the people in the audience for this doc may scoff.  But as my middle school teacher said many times over, what\u2019s important is to ask questions, not to determine answers.  All this makes \u201cRoom 237\u201d tantalizing.  And by the way, whatever happened to Shelly Duvall, a principal actor in \u201cThe Shining\u201d along with Nicholson, who had not made another movie since 2002, while Danny Lloyd, the seven-year-old in the role of a kid with supernatural powers, was seen only once more in a TV movie?  C\u2019est la vie.<\/p>\n<p>Using lots of edited strips from Kubrick movies and scores of others, Ascher interviews folks like Bill Blakemore, a journalist, who notes in a poster that he saw in Britain advertising \u201cThe Shining\u201d as depicting \u201cthe wave of terror that swept across America\u201d and concludes that the \u201cterror\u201d is not 9\/11 which, of course had not taken place in 1980 when \u201cThe Shining\u201d was released, but is actually the genocide against the American Indians. Another subject, the academic Geoffrey Cocks, notes that the portable typewriter that is essentially a character in one scene is German, the Adler model, and since Adler means Eagle, the Nazi symbol, \u201cThe Shining\u201d is about the Holocaust.  Jay Weidner, an author, notes that room 237 was chosen by Kubrick because that is the sound stage that Kubrick used in 1969 for his fictional moon footage.<\/p>\n<p>Few people have the 200 I.Q. that Kubrick is said to have possessed, so who are we groundlings to poo-poo the basic theory that Kubrick went beyond Stephen King\u2019s 1977 novel\u2014whose title came from a John Lennon song and not from visions of genocide\u2014to have his own metaphoric fun?<\/p>\n<p>The movie is marred by shots from \u201cThe Shining\u201d that are repeated ad nauseum and from the director\u2019s interjections of \u201cyou know\u201d perhaps fifty or more times during the course of the commentary.  Where is the editor?<\/p>\n<p>Thought provoking all this is, but then again, you\u2019re likely to leave the theater with \u201cIt\u2019s only an interpretation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated. 102 minutes \u00a9 2012 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B+<\/p>\n<p>Acting \u2013 B+<\/p>\n<p>Technical \u2013 A-<\/p>\n<p>Overall \u2013 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/room-2371.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/room-2371.jpg\" alt=\"Room 237 Movie Review\" title=\"Room 237 Movie Review\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-112176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/room-2371.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/room-2371-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Room 237 IFC Midnight Director: Rodney Ascher Screenwriter: Rodney Ascher Cast: Bill Blakemore, Geoffrey Cocks, Juli Kearns, John Fell Ryan, Jay Weidner Screened at: SoHo House, NYC, 12\/18\/12 Opens: March 22, 2013 Maybe you\u2019ve had this experience.
