42:31 Let's get into it. So you write, the subliminal bears theory proposed that Stanley Kubrick secretly arranged the scenes of The Cheyenne as to paint for the viewer in every frame a pack of ravenous bears. Bears that would register only on a subliminal level. You never think about the bears but they are always there lurking in the margins like the 3D image and the magic eye book only revealing itself after the eye has relaxed and forgotten what it is seen as anything more than light color and shape The idea might at first seem outwardly insane, but the more one looks into it the more it sticks out. You then include the frames in which Danny is sitting there on the bed with the bear behind him and the red on his collar is exactly where he gets choked later in the film but he's looking at the bear
43:22 In the 42nd frame of film and it just gets really weirder. Obviously one of the most iconic images in Strange Bizarre Things in The Shining is a man in a bear suit sucking off a party guest, There's also something about a reappearing, disappearing bear rug. I don't quite remember that. I remember the Shining made for TV remake and I believe they animated that thing to come to life in that version of The Shining but let me turn it over to you so you can explain the complexity of bear symbolism in The Shining. Okay well real quickly because I just was realizing that and it relates... That King version of The Shining was filmed in the Stanley Hotel?
44:06 by the way, that's seen in the moon landing with all the moon landings. That's in The Stanley Hotel so that's something I forgot that really kind of ties it all together. So okay, subliminal bears yeah God! I don't know even start with this... It was just something that Sean started noticing in Kubrick's films and then he kinda started seeing everywhere else and it's almost like a shame because he put this stuff out there and people reacted so badly to it that it kinda was like oh the bear guy let's just that's the guy who thinks everything is a bear. so it kind of like worked against him in that way but if you really, if you watch The Shining there are bears all over it subliminal or no there's overt bear symbolism like I mentioned the very first scene well not the very first scene but Danny is being interviewed by the doctor he's laying on a big bear pillow just looming right behind him he...it's like holding him and
45:04 You notice that its eyes, the way its eyes are shaped are exactly the same shape as the floor indicator above the elevator which is where all of the blood spills out. Right that's what I think is most crazy because the bears eye should just be a button you know most teddy bears it's just going to be a button but this is specifically strange and looks like the classic elevator needle that moves up the various levels of the building and he even says that those Shots in the movie are 42 seconds apart 42 frames into shot 62 is the first view of the bear pillow I and The beginning of shot 60 is the last view of the floor indicator And there is exactly 42 seconds in the film between those two things That speaks to significance to me
45:56 But then he goes on to show in certain frames where the blood is spilling out of the elevator, the blood you know. You could say it's the mouth if those two symbols are the eyes that it is the bear with certain lighting and looks like the bear and The one that really gets me is probably the poster. So this is another thing we'll throw up on the screen, but if you've ever seen the poster for the movie The Shining it looks odd! This is the yellow poster with the red graph or the yellow poster with the black graphics and text I always thought it looked more like Chucky from Child's Play. It's a weird face in the tea of The Shining, doesn't seem connected to the film at all He found a subliminal bear in there and I have the image where you can see how it looks like Tigger almost but let's say its a bear
46:49 It's definitely a weird thing to see and then it gets even crazier. So in the scene when Wendy discovers that Danny has apparently been strangled, which harkens back to that first scene because the red collar is exactly in that scene with the bear You say, in the same room where the long dead bear lies as a luxury item. The camera continues to adjust its position ever so slightly as Wendy approaches Danny until at the final moment of her discovery, the camera settles and there revealed by a play of light between the second floor banisters, a word appears while Jack looks on and Wendy examines the bruises which have appeared on Danny's neck and shoulder in the location of the red streak from the teddy bear shot before
47:34 Danny sucks his thumb in shock and a word appears to lurk above them. And that word is bear and I have it, I have it right here. I don't know why there's these bears. It's right on the edge of like, is it there? Is it not like, and maybe even if you look at the really high definition, like uh, it might be harder to see. It might've been more like, you know, on old tv fuzzy like vhs it appears more clear that kind of blends and it looks more like the word but it's all about like this creating this kind of illusion um like I call it a magic eye where you know Kubrick was making these movies but the visible narrative
48:20 is like the tip of the iceberg of what's really going on in movies, which is all beneath the surface. And it's all in the subtext and that's all in the timing and that's like you're pointing out Sean's breakdown... There was nobody on this planet that was more deeply in tune with the architecture of The Shining than Sean and how it was edited together to express this numeric these numeric properties. It's a big loss to have them. And then, you know this is just so wild but just to kind of wrap a bow around this
