I was always uneasy with that film.
Kubrick has been my favorite director ever since a couple of high school friends and I borrowed ID's showing legal age so we could get in to see Clockwork when it came out. That film changed my life.
Shining, although I did enjoy it when it came out (and since), always seemed like a lesser work of his, and maybe his weakest (except for Eyes). I've never been able to figure out what possessed Kubrick to make a goofy ghost story out of a goofy Steven King ghost story in the first place. The Wendy Theory answers that. The movie was NEVER about ghosts!
