Room 237

If you are going to make a documentary about theories on one of the greatest movies of all time then at least make it sound or feel proffessional, make it sound like these theories have some worth. The problem with this documentary is that there are to many theories and not one is given chance to be properly expanded on or debated. I have heard better arguements back in High School, stoned listening to Pink Floyd fans decipher The Wall.

The theories in this documentary are not given time to breath, i am no proffesional movie critic, but this is one huge clusterfuck. I feel 2 or 3 theories being expanded on and investigated and involving the viewer in doing so would of made this a better watch.

Instead we get a bunch of people saying 'here is my theory, i could prove it , i could go on all day about it'..... but then don't. We switch to the next person saying exactly the same thing.

I found some of them interesting and would of loved to have them delved into a little more- even though to be honest i found them all a little far fetched. The mind sees what it want's to see at times, if i went back and watched The Shining i am sure i could somehow create a link between the movie itself and the failings of the Jamaican bobsleigh team.

Must try harder
