Further explanation where I render a 'body' positioned precisely as Rob Ager illustrated in a still outline.

"Part of my problem is that I cannot dispel the myths that have somehow accumulated over the years. Somebody writes something, it`s completely off the wall, but it gets filed and repeated until everyone believes it."

-Kubrick

The mysterious "objects" are just naturally occuring reflections of the surrounding set in the surface of the dark glossy liquid. Nothing more.

  • can u explain what the blood is obviously running over for like 3 seconds, its a giant lump and can not be the lump because it clearly runs on top and over "it" whether its a dead body or not, well, only Kubrick will know, seeing how this was not in the book.

  • @poopstain742 *sigh* There is no lump. The crushed depth & contorted reflections may make it appear to resemble one. Like how an inferior mirage may resemble distant water, or how the Moon may seem larger on the horizon, or how bugs photographed with a long shutter may look like tiny, interdimensional "rods", or how a Rorschach inkblot may look like a rabbit... thats not what it actually is. A bit of natural physics explains it. Or you can keep believing the voices in your head.

  • Am I missing something here...was anyone claiming the scene was real or something? I don't get the reason why you would have to prove something like this. I mean its common knowledge that everything you see in movies is fabricated.

  • @IndieDaily If you read the first line/link in the description...

  • Oh...well the other guy is a joke then...why would he make such a big deal over nothing.

  • @IndieDaily Reality is disappointing so people concoct meaning and mystery where they can. An undetermined light in the nite sky is automatically aliens, a flying insect motion blurred in camera is an interdimensional 'rod', a strange sound in the night or a spec of dust floating close to lens out of focus must be a ghost, and a distorted reflection is a movie child's inner voice literally flopping out of the elevator as a naked dead body that no one else sees but one film anal-yzer.

  • @ninmachine109 Fake AND gay.  No the filmmakers shot at the Timberline Lodge in Oregon which has an actual haunted elevator that spews real human blood every hour.

  • @hilolman13 Put down the bong.

  • when i mean i can not be the lump, i mean the lump made by the blood

  • i never thought of anything other than reflections, i guess peoples minds just get carried away in the moment.

  • Maybe it's a Monolith?
