Room 237 Page #5

emptied the jug of everything

that could be done

in filmmaking.

And he was looking

for the next thing.

And what he did was he began

reading Subliminal Seduction

and a number of other books

which were about how advertisers

were injecting...

injecting images,

subliminal images,

into advertising

to sell products more.

- Suggestible trends.

- You know, there'll be

an ad for Gilbey's Gin,

and inside, the ice cubes

will be various sex organs

and things to add

a subliminal appeal to the ad.

Kubrick went

to these advertisers,

and he asked them

what their methods were.

And then he took those methods

and he applied them

to The Shining.

Inside The Shining are

hundreds of subliminal images

and shot line-ups.

And what

these images are telling

is an extremely disturbing

story about sexuality.

And the subtext of the story,

besides the other subtexts

of the story,

is a story of haunted

phantoms and demons

who are sexually attracted

to humans

and are feeding off of them.

You'd have to be able to be

a complete fanatic like I am

in order to find all this,

but, you know,

I'll give you my favorite.

I'm only gonna give you one,

but I'll give you my favorite.

When Jack meets

Stewart Ullman in the office

at the very beginning

of the movie

and he reaches over to shake

Jack Nicholson's hand...

and so step through

that scene frame by frame.

And the minute,

the moment,

the frame that he

and Jack Nicholson touch hands

and right after the line

that Barry Nelson says,

which is, "Nice to see you,"

you can see

that there's a paper...

a paper tray on the desk.

And as soon as they touch hands,

the paper tray

turns into a very large

straight-on hard-on

coming out of Barry nelson.

Yeah, it's hilarious.

It's a joke... a very serious

joke... but a joke by Stanley.

And there's

many of these in the film.

And very disturbing,

some of them.

And this will all be in my film,

Kubrick the Magician.

I'll give you one more.

This one's harder to find, okay?

And you have to know what

Stanley Kubrick looked like

during the making of

The Shining to know this one.

But if you go

to the opening credits

and you pan the frame...

you... you go through the frames,

right after it says

"Directed by Stanley Kubrick,"

as soon as his name

passes off the frame,

stop and you will see that the

clouds have Stanley Kubrick

airbrushed into them,

his face...

with the beard and the wild hair

and the whole thing.

I know this one's

a little harder to find.

And I will have to...

I will have to Photoshop

this one to show people it,

but there is definitely the

photograph of Stanley Kubrick

in one frame
