MSTRMND's The Shining (2nd Edition) (Chapter 10: Mirrors, Mazes, and Mesoamerican Echoes)
0Check out this deep dive into Kubrick’s The Shining, where we peel back the layers of hidden symbolism, twisted architecture, and ancient cultural echoes buried in the Overlook Hotel. We’ll explore how its maze, mirrored rooms, and strange shifts in time and space tie back to Mesoamerican art, sun worship, and old-world rituals. From the kitchen’s portals to the ballroom’s coded carpet patterns, every frame is a clue. Get ready to see the film’s haunting design in a whole new light.
This is the tenth chapter in a long-running series I’ve been working on, and honestly, it’s been pretty draining. Just a heads-up: this essay isn’t my own—it’s based on work by someone online who goes by “Mastrmnd.” Some of the interpretations and connections here might sound like a stretch, but it’s definitely intriguing stuff. Be prepared, though—some of these ideas might feel pretty out there.
