Let’s take another tact.
But first, an *odd* coincidence. Remember when I talked of seeing a white spark above a red ceiling triangle during Wendy’s discovery of Jack’s insane manuscript, connecting it the the Eye of Providence? Well, apparently I’m not the first to notice the triangle, for Ager mentions his own Eye of Providence connection here. The white spark completely fits in with his analysis! I wonder if he knows about the same eye depicted on the Seal of Colorado?
I’ll quote…
I only half suspected that the false enlightenment themes of The Shining were related to the Eye of Providence until an email correspondent pointed out an important set detail in the Colorado Lounge. It’s seen only once in the film. As Wendy leans forward to flick through Jack’s manuscript there is a slightly out of focus strip of colourful designs on the ceiling that do not look like Native American designs. The strip contains alternating blue and red triangles, each with a circular object in the centre. They look very much like the eyeball and triangle design featured on the Clockwork Orange poster. Is this the Eye of Providence?
Quite bizarre. But we must get back to the Barry>Shining theme, and the new twist of Stanley’s *landing strip*.
