It's Kubrick. It had a meaning.

Does an analysis of the architectural layout of the Overlook hotel based on the panning shots and finds it is a paradox. For example, the camera follows Jack up a flight of stairs, makes a u turn and goes down a hallway with doors on each side. Not much different from any other hotel hallway except the doors on the right can't have rooms behind them as the transition shot from the staircase to the hall shows that wall is only a few inches thick. Read the article, its a great explanation of how Kubrick is loving with your sense of spatial relationship to make the hotel even creepier.

It is a little surreal watching the villain from "Speed 2: Cruise Control" playing Jesus, though.

Wait is gypsy actually a racist term? Isn't that just what they're called? Have I been unknowingly racist for my entire life?

Yes, No, Yes.

Gypsy was a term applied to them because Europeans thought their dark skin meant they came from Egypt. In actuality their people originated in India and call themselves Romani.
