Sorry for the poor audio quality. Turn your volume up to maximum.<br /><br />Some people claim that when THE SHINING is played simultaneously forwards as well as backwards, the film "mirrors itself". This video tests those claims. <br /><br />Note: this forward/backward dual motion is itself necessary when navigating a maze, as one must not only search for the maze's centre, but remember past routes if one intends to get out.<br /><br />This particular sequence was chosen because the numbers 12, 21 and 42 appear throughout The Shining. The face of a teddy bear is also first shown at exactly 12 minutes, 42 seconds into the film. 12 minutes, 42 seconds from the end of the film, another bear is likewise seen.<br /><br />Thanks to Avery and the London Film School for this video.
