Clear photos. Open the door.

Personally, the photo is a symbolic embodiment of surrealism, which only expresses that historical figures who once appeared in this building and later doormen including the dead are integrated with this evil hotel building. Their souls will be sealed in this hotel in the mountains forever.

Open the door, the door of 237 may be consistent with the landlord's analysis. Opening the warehouse door may also be a hotel evil spirit represented by the dead former janitor Randy, because the film itself is a surreal supernatural film, and there is no need to have a reasonable explanation to tell the past like solving a case, and personal views can be discussed.

But everyone's understanding is different, but magic can also be a metaphor in reality. Perhaps this is the director's ingenuity in this film.

Kubrick adapted and sublimated this novel of the same name into a magical theme of the transformation of good and evil of human nature and the alternation of supernatural and reality. It reflects the spiritual variation that human beings are unable to communicate under the pressure of survival until they are destroyed.
