In The Shining (1980), the film progressively becomes more disturbing starting with rivers of blood, escalating to Jack making out with a rotting corpse, and finally peaking in pure horror with the most nightmarish scene of all: a man in a furry suit caught mid-furry gay sex.

This A Clockwork Orange (1971) scene could never be filmed the same way today. Kubrick took one of the happiest songs ever made and turned it into something deeply disturbing.

The greatest movie that was never made

[Best of Kubrick @KubrickPoint]

Stanley Kubrick was often seen as cold and obsessive, but with Danny Lloyd on The Shining (1980), he was careful in a very human way. He protected him from the horror around him, kept him away from the most disturbing scenes, and let him believe he was making a family drama, not one of the most terrifying films ever made.

Watching this scene with that in mind hits differently.

Nothing in Kubrick's films is accidental.
