We can't wait to share this one with you guys. We worked really hard on it...

This series is an masterpiece. Well done Aaron and Melissa.

there should be a golden shovel award~you two dig deeper than anyone and the insights you find are not "overlooked" by us all~fabulous

I used to be a security guard.. worked nights, in huge office buildings. Sometimes completely alone... The shinning strikes a nerve with me. I would often times envision myself telling my boss, "nope, not that building, it's haunted af".. but I obviously never did.

I've watched The Shining at least 50 times in my life, and you're making me want to watch this again fresh eyes.

That was an excellent experience. This truth community needs that fellowship and time together.

I just realized 1921 adds up to 13 and Jack is in the Baphomet pose. This series is so intriguing. Thank you!

Stanley was the true shining force in all of his works, laying bare what the hidden forces of the world are up to. Thank you so much Mel and Aaron for the immense work of information you gave the whole world to see, shining so bright!

There's certainly a lot to unpack in this one. The ghosts of empire are back and are demanding a blood sacrifice.

So excited for this, you guys really raised the bar high with the first episode of this series. I love how in-depth your research is.

I appreciate you referring back to the source text of "The Shining," & I admire how you seemed to tie our existence together in a chilling way. Every king requires a sacrifice. Brilliant.

People have been changing history for so long that the truth is history.

This is STUNNING visually. My gosh y’all are talented

So impressive the way you told a story about The Shining being a vehicle to tell a much more horrifying tale than the surface narrative presented, by using your documentary about the Shining as a vehicle to tell the horror story all over again. Well played!

Favorite channel doing an analysis of a movie made by my favorite director about a book written by my favorite author. This is what being in heaven must feel line on a rainy day.

The house always wins until it doesn't.

My favorite content makers. Always fascinating videos.

You guys are a gift. And this series is a masterpiece. Seriously, well done. Thank you.

it's us, isn't it. we are the jack torrences caught in the sacrificial caretaker position where the outside off screen presences are what guide us and sacrifice us. I find it interesting Jack's picture is the baphomet posture.

“The hour is at hand, midnight!” Surely, we are now arriving here because there has been an unveiling. This feels like an approaching climax to all of your previous work.

oooOOoO can't wait.

thank you, i cant begin to imagine the amount of time and effort you put into making this amazing series. thank you for fighting for the truth

I love the pearls you guys drop. I'll ride with this Chanel until the end of days. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you both.

I feel like I just traveled into the creepy soul of the government.

The difference between you and almost any other channel is that you see beyond into the unapparent. It’s a God-given gift as I’m sure you already know. I can also see, and I know there is a higher power working through you. Keep doing what you’re doing, and don’t change for anyone. By the way, I’m certain you’d appreciate and understand the shows ‘Mr. Robot’ and ‘True Detective’ season 1, if you haven’t seen them already. I love this kind of deep-dive format into the esoteric symbology in media, and I promise those two are perfect for discussion. Much love to the both of you, and Godspeed. ☘️

Your hard work in this project is quite evident. Thank you! I was engaged from beginning to end! I love the history, especially. Any time history is told to me that leaves me with a new way of understanding it, I value the experience, and will likely remember it better than I would other things. As for Kubrick's 'The Shining', it's his cerebral gift that keeps on giving, and will live on as art. I've seen the movie several times and own it. But the movie has lasting appeal because it has only gotten more interesting thanks to the thoughtful contemplations you two present to viewers in this production. Fascinating AND educational.

Can't wait to see where this series ends up!

Love the way Jack breaks the third wall by glancing briefly at the camera before he replies to Ullman, 'Well'..! So many brilliant touches, and this film does great justice to it--impressive.

Got goosebumps from the intro you guys continue to amaze me!

**Gets really excited to finally see more of the series I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for* **Suddenly feels uneasy and anxious knowing that this is real life* It was already a disturbing yet beautiful film. The ice berg was apparently deeper than I could have imagined.

Guys, this is a great video! As a youtube old head and witness/appreciator of both Kubrick and Shining videos on this platform, I can confidently say yall have at least hit closest, if not nailed completely what this work is all about. Well done!

This one reminds of what society’s going through right now.

I was hooked on the first episode and checked every day for for two months for this one to drop. It was totally worth it. You must have put hundreds of hours into it. I took the red pill almost 14 years ago which lead me down the multilayered history rabbit hole. Your work definitely adds a lot of context and comes in from fresh angles. To handle such information is difficult enough, but to do it with such graceful art and human compassion in the face of rise of the most horrific tyranny mankind has yet faced is truly something special.

I can't express how much I love and appreciate your work! You 2 are talented in so many areas of filmmaking and truth telling. these must be put in a time capsule so future generations can know the truth - although I have faith we can pull it together ❤ 🙏please keep up ur incredible work !

In other words, we're all being played. Mahalo nui loa, Melissa & Aaron. Aloha~

I'm completely awestruck and just as rapt rewinding to the beginning for what I'm sure will be many more play throughs. Thank you infinitely for your time and dedication to all that you do 💛

Stoked!!! I need to go back and rewatch all the classics

Amazing! When you brought it Fraser's Golden Baugh I knew right where you were going. That book also plays a key role in Rene Girard's work of Mimetic Theory and the scapegoat.

Wow, just wow... This is my first comment in years on this platform after migrating to newpipe (I strongly recommend all those still using the KZfaq app on Android do the same: no ads, downloadable content that isn't tied to the app, etc...) but I had to login here to express my astonishment at this production. You two have put together something profound; part 1 was fantastic but now it just feels like a necessary prerequisite for properly understanding part 2, your film definitely 'shines' for lack of a better term. I have a feeling that if Stephen King saw this his disappointment in Kubrick's adaptation would be replaced by astonishment. It's like Kubrick managed to dig into King's own subconscious thoughts while writing the book so he could use his own genius to produce a film where the same content is present but still hidden at the same subconscious level. Also, the intro/outro quotation from Agamemnon blew my mind. 👍 Well, I'm back off to my open-source shelter from the predatory birds turned data vampires, it's not perfect but it's better than nothing, Cheers!

Mel, I can tell you are enjoying developing your art through this medium in spite of the painstaking long hours involved. Haven 't watched the whole thing yet. Random tidbit: Twenty years ago I designed the Stanley Hotel logo (not the current version but the one before it). I live in Colorado, visited the Stanley many times and can attest that the office window indeed goes to the outside. However, in the film, Kubrick creates a labyrinth almost like the Winchester Mystery House knitting the film locations together. I have a photo of one of our visits up there from a few years ago where an entity was captured in the hallway standing behind my daughter. I don't subscribe to ghosts so seeing it was a creepy surprise. I have some Shining analysis coming out soon focusing more on the esoteric beliefs of the elites portrayed and I'll show the photos there.

Great video did not disappoint, something i did notice that Jack Nicholson in the 1921 photo of ball is holding his hands in such a position that denotes 'AS ABOVE, SO BELOW'. There is no doubt that Stanley Kubrick was a director with a meticulous eye for detail, maybe that is why they used him to film the Apollo missions. Thanks.

You two make the very best videos! You are amazing investigative reporters and brilliant film artists! Your wonderful way of talking and portraying your information is top-notch! Thank you so much!

I am SOOOOOOO excited for this to finally be here. I've been waiting. I love the work you guys do, keep it up 🥰🥰

honestly my fav channel on yt, good work guys keep it up!

Great Job Truthstream Media....always a great job!!!

Facing and overcoming danger is absolutely essential in human growth and understanding. Preparation is everything. Realizing where you are is the 1st step.

This was the most detailed analysis I've seen yet on this subject matter…kudos, seriously. Gives a whole new perspective.....

I'll be re-watching this for sure. So much information to process. Words cannot express the emotions I feel watching your content. Thank you for the real history.

One word consistently comes to mind when viewing your "works".....and that is *masterpiece*. I am humbled and dumbfounded at your ability to piece together these puzzles of time and space. Awaiting further transmissions as patiently as i can.

The house (owners of the hotel, family of Bill Watson) built on the cursed Indian burial ground is a reference to Pet Sematary.

Your videography continues to become more artful.

Fascinating subject. Like many, looking forward to being "riveted"

Amazing work! Especially all the alchemical symbols and it’s connection to the Anglo-American establishment. Really great job!

Prefect timing for an upload I've been waiting for, and looking for on a regular basis. Stuck in bed recovering from [a procedure], and this is the perfect think to temporarily help me forget that we just had Chinese freaking balloons flying across the country, and are being given no information. I love you guys. Have a nice weekend, and whenever you have them - "Happy birthday!"

Always look forward to your productions.

Amazing work. Immediately watching again to reabsorb. The map needs to be made as accurate as possible. Thank you for your effort.

Always intrigued by your work, whether it resonates with me or not.

Thank you for taking us through the twists and turns of the maze.

Fascinating work. For me, The Shining is personal being a recovering alcoholic. All the behaviors...domestic violence, job termination, narcissism, anger, resentment of responsibility, spite, need for isolation, psychosis and death on display. The Maze serves as the metaphor of the alcoholic, which many fall prey to.

Well done, Melissa and Aaron! As a lifelong Kubrick fan, this is outstanding, and you fit so many pieces into the puzzle. Thanks!

Phenomenal! Such in depth and detailed research, leading to intriguing presentations. I feel every series is a gift, and I cherish the journeys you both take me on. Thank you for all you do. I can't wait for more.

How do these two keep upping the ante every film project? We are in the midst of the worst times but more people are aware of it thanks to the best people

Really really well done. It's great visually and what's even better is the thought provoking analysis. You went real deep.

Adding to the significance of the year 1921, on July 21st 1921, a group of bankers, lawyers, historians, and other prominent industrialists, filed a certification of incorporation officially forming the Council on Foreign Relations. This group's focus was on promoting internationalism in the United States. This core group of founders was part of the original group known as "The Inquiry" which was formed under the Woodrow Wilson administration to formulate policy in the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The Council was formed after the US Congress rejected the Treaty of Versailles and did not enter the League of Nations. All of these men were Anglophiles, and worked under the direction of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London which was formed in 1919. It appears that what Kubrick was saying in the film is that it was an open secret at the time, that the United States lost its sovereignty to a group of elite financial interests centered in London and New York. The world order was going to be remade using the U.S. as the military arm of this Anglo-American establishment. Hence, all the bloodshed symbolized in the movie.

This channel is one of the best channels on KZfaq. It's so obvious how much effort goes into what you guys do which is why it's been frustrating to recently see others cheaply steal your hard work and think by simply slowing down the video nobody would notice.

Loving the little snippets of the movie Brazil, a highly underrated film

This is absolutely incredible!!!! I feel like so many things I have come to learn through my search for understanding have been woven together in such an intricate manner. What a work of artistry! I did not realize until after watching that there is a part 1, and I can't wait to digest more!

Awesome work guys. Really enjoyed it. As someone who has studied Kubrick and the shining for some time now. 👍

no notification for me, you two are one of the very best channels on the bullshit youtube. I'm going to go check for you all on Rumble. Be right back.

Jack and his wealthy friend were also bound by a secret hit and run death when they were out drinking together

Some of the best thought inspiring videos you two have put out. I will now go back and rewatch 1&2 all the way through. In The Minds Of Men is one I show a lot of people. This will be another one I show. The Interpol message at the end has a little Tyler Durden feel and it made me laugh. Maybe they are out there? Maybe it hasn't been squirrels eating the stuff I put out for birds and is has been them this whole time!?!?!

Wow, totally blew my mind with this one. Without a doubt the best dive into what has been overlooked ever. Someone commented masterpiece and I agree.

Each part in this series is equally fascinating.

You two did it again. This may be your best yet. Fantastically analyzed. You picked through every detail and wrapped Kubrick's vision up in a neat little bundle tagged: As Goethe said, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Can’t wait-the first ep is amazing. Been eagerly anticipating this. Thanks so much for all your efforts all these years.

Aaron, Melissa... I truly don't understand how you do these without a huge team of writers, directors, historians, editors and.... magicians.

I downloaded this to listen to at work and was drawn back to this again. You guys really did a good job with this. Honestly, I feel like there could be more parts to this bc of all the complex topics this movie holds. And one more thing, I REALLY Love the version of the opening credits song.

A "due diligence" research job results in someone finally coming up with a plausible hypothesis regarding the final shot's meaning. The filmmakers' hypothesis that Jack is purposefully being set up to be a sacrifice to keep the ghosts of the Overlook at bay is very compelling. Watch and decide for yourself. This episode also made me contemplate my similarity to Jack Torrance as having to scrounge for lesser and lesser status jobs due to being fired for not being sufficiently dog-like in my behavior for management. Jack wanted to be a writer, I wanted to be a musician, and we both compromised and took jobs we knew we weren't right for, and probably wouldn't get us any closer to our objective, so there's a subconscious bitterness and anger always bubbling under the surface when you're at "work" that eventually erupts. Then management either fires you, or disciplines you so severely that you might as well just quit. Unions don't help either, they'll throw you over as quick as management if they can get contract promises in exchange for throwing you overboard. It's happened to me on two separate occasions, one of which led to a suicide attempt.

Still excited for the next episode in this series!

That was so very brilliant. Thank you both.

Finally, part 2 of 7. Keep em coming guys.

The research really shows. Well done.

I really enjoy the intro music which includes the Dies Irae melody. Latin: Dies Irae, dies illa * solvet saeculum in favilla * Teste David cum Sibylla * ...English: Day of wrath and doom impending, David's word with Sibyl's blending, Heaven and Earth in ashes ending. Comes from the sequence for the All Souls Day (aka Requiem) Mass on Nov 2. Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen.

i dont know if many people understand this but the ghosts of the overlook wanted the father to kill the child so that they could get the child's 'shine'

An interview with Kubrick about this movie would've been great, but if he told us everything, his films probably wouldn't be allowed to exist, so we have these analysis instead

Your analysis is refreshing and doesn't get over analytical like so many other videos on this subject. Great pacing and soundtrack too. I live near and have visited Soho House Museum in Handsworth, home of the Lunar Society. Never expected this to turn up in a Shining analysis.

Amazing work reveling what we hope is past traditions in common plain sight , exposing the darkness by shinning on the light truly a masterpiece.

Riveting Series. Densely researched and interconnected. I look forward to Part III.

Jack tries to seem normal at the job interview yet there’s a creepy undertone that’s pure Nicholson... why this was perfect casting!

Man, this goes deep. Watched 1 & 2 but did not realise there were more episodes that I can look forward to. There's so much to think about. Fascinating and intruiging, made so much more enjoyable by (both) your narration. Melissa - I have said this before and shall say again.. your voice is just beautiful. I can listen to you all night! In fact, I probably have. I even cried with you on a recent video! This presentation is so good it's beyond words, for me anyway. It is obvious you guys have put a helluva lot of work into this. Thank you so much.

Compelled to add my two-cents,as it were.Aware of your channel years back but gravitationally drawn to any and all analysis of Kubrik's masterwork.Very impressive work and progress from you two.Rather looking foreward to any future work from your excellent channel.Such laudible and rare impovement in any one channel is anomylous and most wecome.Great(for lack of a better term)work and progress.Very impressive guys.Happy to have rediscovered Truthstream.Scholarly diligence and perseverance.All I have except;cannot believe people pay currency for pea-sized cognition "content" to ANY member service!?Easily have won a regular and loyal fan here.

Sooo happy you dropped this today! Have been eagerly anticipating it!!

Can I just say how much I LOVE and appreciate all your work!! Amazing as usual!!

Me right now: CANCEL DINNER

Amazing, very well done thank you for all the hard work and time you put into this series. I didn't want it to be over I wanted more parts. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Wow, this is awesome. This is a movie I'm drawn back to again and again without understanding why. Very thought provoking indeed.👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The monologue at the beginning of the video is one of the best and true I have heard in a long time. Brilliant choice of words

Great job on this series ! Well written, narrated, edited and put together. Been looking forward since part 1. Can't wait to see where yinz go from here.

Wow, that was amazing! I had never seen The Shining this way. I hope you guys make part 3!

Thank you both
