"The Shining" is really a metaphor for how the white settlers in North America treated, not so nicely, the Native Americans (Indians). There are many subtle references to our brutality towards the Native Americans throughout The Shinning. Even the name of the hotel "The Overlook" is sybmolic of how North Americans simply "overlook" our the violence and slaughter we perpetrated on this continent.

The Shinning truly is an epic film that has deep underlying meaning. I do think it has relevance to the events of 9/11, as it captures the essence of the violent American spirit that is capable of carrying out such violence as 9/11.
