Many of the things in this movie is stretching to say at least to try and find any meaning behind it. But the seven dwarf sticker of Dopey I found very interesting because no way that was a continuity error because it was the only sticker missing and it was the most notable one. Anyone agree?
shareNope
shareNo. I don't think Kubrick was the type of film maker who would have continuity errors. He was a very detailed and thorough director. That is not to say that I think all the symbolism they talk about in this film is correct. Just that he does things deliberately. Even lining up the dissolves is deliberate but I've noticed a lot of film makers do that.
shareHe was very meticulous but sometimes they're unavoidable, no matter who you are.
shareAgreed. There's no reason for the sticker not to have been there unless it was removed intentionally.

I can say with 99 percent certainty that this is what happened:
The scene in Danny's bedroom with the doctor was filmed before the steadicam shot of Danny in the bathroom. When it came time to film the bathroom scene, someone, either Kubrick or the cinematographer realized that the decorations on the door ran out too quickly in the shot and hastily called the prop department to have them add another sticker to the door.

Kubrick, while a genius, was not infallible.
