in The Shining, how can we decide what comes from the inside and what comes from the outside, the extra-sensory perceptions or hallucinatory projections? [Deleuze Cinema 2, 1989:198d]

dans « Shining », comment décider de ce qui vient du dedans et de ci qui vient du dehors, perceptions extrasensorielles ou projections hallucinatoires ? [Deleuze Cinéma 2, 1985:268c]

For, in Kubrick, the world itself is a brain, there is identity of brain and world, as in [...] the Overlook hotel in The Shining. [Deleuze Cinema 2, 1989:198b]

C'est que, chez Kubrick, le monde lui-même est un cerveau, il y a identité du cerveau et du monde, tels [...] l'hôtel Overlook de « Shining ». [Deleuze Cinéma 2, 1985:267d]

Kubrick is renewing the theme of the initiatory journey because every journey in the world is an exploration of the brain. The world-brain is A Clockwork Orange, or again, a spherical game of chess where the general can calculate his chances of promotion on the basis of the relation between soldiers killed and positions captured (Paths of Glory). [Deleuze Cinema 2, 1989:206a] [C2, 206a]

Si Kubrick renouvelle le thème du voyage initiatique, c’est parce que tout voyage dans le monde est une exploration du cerveau. Le monde-cerveau, c’est « L’orange mécanique », ou encore un jeu d’échecs sphérique où le général peut calculer ses chances de promotion d’après le rapport des soldats tués et des positions conquises (« Les sentiers de la gloire »). [Deleuze Cinéma 2, 1985:267-268b]
