MSTRMND's The Shining (2nd Edition) (Chapter 1: Decoding The Shining’s Hidden Symbols)
In this reimagined video essay series on The Shining, I dive deep into Kubrick’s visual language and hidden layers. This is my second attempt at adapting this essay into video form, following the first version from 2022. This updated version refines the narration and visuals for a more immersive experience. In this first installment of what could be 20 or more chapters, we explore Kubrick’s use of “motion-glyphs”—a new visual storytelling language that merges shadow, light, symbols, and myth. Join me as we decode the complexities and secrets of The Shining, a film that continues to challenge and redefine the boundaries of cinema.
