Significantly, the labyrinthal road that the car travels down is called the “Going to the Sun” road, and construction of it began in 1921. Later we will notice that the film itself ends with a photograph taken in 1921.
….
Legend has it that the Going to the Sun Mountain, and later its main road, were named after a mystical Indian who ascended the 9,642-foot peak to join the sun in eternity. The choice of road is no coincidence, as the film begins and ends with both credits and references to the year 1921. What’s more, Kubrick’s name is nowhere in the final credits, and the film begins with a cast scroll that is typically located where most films end. So what we have here is a film which folds in on itself like an ouroboros snake, the past and the present, beginning and end, merging indefinitely, one big cyclical repetition of history.
