In preparation for our next film...What you think?

The Shining

Consider these questions and make some comments on all/ some of them...

Is Jack a 'New Hollywood'/ modernist hero?
Is Kubrick reconfiguring the horror film?
Is he parodying it?
Was it scary?
What is our role as spectator? How are we involved?
