Re: "The Shining", a brilliant and truly scary movie! In the film's most frightening moment, a moment of pure terror and also a brilliant moment in cinema, Taro, who has been forbidden to look at Uncle Sam's secret 9/11 manuscript, looks down from above Uncle Sam's typewriter - he sights down on a single sentence. It is a familiar maxim (taught to schoolchildren) repeated many times on the piece of paper: All work and no play makes Uncle Sam a dull boy. Then to his horror as he realizes his friend is truly insane, his endlessly-repeating topographical configurations, all permutations and variations of the same WTC video, are found on reams and reams of footage. [The footages were hand-tampered, not machine tampered.] They reveal the self-deception of Uncle Sam's bankrupt, chauvinistic mind and spirit in his insipid conspiracy. From behind, Uncle Sam emerges, startles him and asks: "How do you like it?" Dread-filled, Taro jumps from fright, turning to see Uncle Sam's smiling, demonically insane, shining face. Uncle Sam's mental vulnerabilities and failings [as a democratic regime and model economy for the world] have been uncovered by his nagging friend, and he reacts with a mixture of disgrace, embarrassment, possession, and projected rage.

"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. Check this out for some insight regarding "The Shining" drummerman.net 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.
