Some guy has dissected the "impossible" layout of the hotel in The Shining. I watched it all and came out pretty amazed over how Escher influenced Kubrick seemed to be for that movie.

Wow, that was super interesting. As a fan of the film, I must say this guy just made my day.

Very interesting. Kind of makes me want to rewatch The Shining soon...

I also wish Inception utilized such complex, maze-like set design.

Hehe, maybe someone will spot something hidden in Inception in 30 years

There's that, but I guess I also mean getting a real sense of the maze-like atmosphere. We never really had characters exploring their environment in continuous ways like the characters in The Shining did.

This is what John August thinks of that video http://johnaugust.com/2011/cinematic-ge ... -of-genius

I don't know, probably the truth is between them both, but IMO his point of view could contribute the discussion

I've heard of this guy before! All his stuff is fascinating & in-depth as hell, even if a bit far fetched sometimes. http://www.collativelearning.com/
