with The Shining.

The more you magnify things,

the more you look at them,

the less purpose it serves

'cause it's so out of whack.

None of it makes sense

from the beginning.

- There must be

a lot of stuff in there

that nobody has yet seen,

so people

ought to keep watching it.

- But why would he make

the movie so complicated?

- Yeah, I mean, but why did

Joyce write Finnegan's Wake?

It's a way of, like,

opening doors

from, like, a hermetically

sealed reality

into possibilities.

And it's also a way of trapping

someone like me.

Like, who goes looking for clues

and, like, keeps finding them.

And next thing you know,

you're like, "Man, I've been...

"I've been trapped

in this hotel forever.

I'm dreaming about this place."

You know, I'm like Jack.

I'm, like,

all work and no play.

Or the other way around.

like, I think

into it, into this maze,

into this trap.

by going backwards and forwards.

And once you start, you know,

studying, you know,

then, like, suddenly, like,

you're noticing

in your own life,

like, things start popping out.

Things that you hadn't noticed

before, you know, like your...

point of view is being altered

by your study.

And, you know, it's the...

It's quantum physics,

you know, like,

the act of observing,

like, affects

you know,

the thing observed.

- Hi, Lloyd.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it gets weird

because, like, I'd... you know,

as I've been obsessing over this

thing, you know, I've been home,

like, I'd been out of work

for a while, like...

I have a small son.

You know, we're thinking

of moving out to, like,

somewhere isolated.

I mean, things get strange,

you know?

Like, you're...

like, wow,

my life has actually become

The Shining, you know?
