A perfect movie
This is Kubrick-level film-making, not only The Shining, but also 2001 in terms of length and scope. Watch it on a very large TV, with the lights out and the sound turned up. It's 2:07, but try to make it through in one sitting, no potty breaks. You will likely be confused through most, if not all, of the movie, but don't worry about it. Just pay attention and try to absorb everything. When the movie has ended, you'll have time to put the pieces together. You'll only have one chance to see this movie for the first time. Don't blow it.
If you watch the movie in this fashion, you will likely have a very good experience. Otherwise, your results may vary.
