You asked why only Grady and Jack went crazy? Because Grady and Jack both had a weak shine to them, that they were likely unaware of. The hotel fed off shine and really wanted Danny because his shine was so bright/powerful.

The scene with a camera following Danny around was the first time it had ever been used in such a way it was actually coined by Stanley Kubrick for a filming technique

@stevetheduck1425

A device worn by a cameraman that levels out the bumps and jostles: a 'Steadicam', which was invented earlier and used in other movies,, made famous in 'The Shining' but may be most famous for being the basis of a weapon. In the film 'Aliens' (the second one), the Marines use large machine guns strapped to their bodies, and two strong soldiers , one male, one female, swing those things around with ease. The concept was actually tried for a gun mount, but it needed a large, strong person to carry for long, and it prevented the wearer from taking cover, so it was useless, except for the 'rule of cool'.

Shining fans: I just noticed for the first time ever that the scene in the car, when the three of them are driving up to the Overlook (the "Donner Party" scene): that had to have been rear projection of the mountains in the background and everything outside of the car, the movie was shot in England! That has to be the most realistic rear projected car scene I've ever seen. Never thought twice about it. Kubrick must have had a little fan giving them wind, blowing Wendy's hair around, they're doing lighting stuff, shadows passing over their faces......amazing. That is totally Colorado out the window, that is totally England on the inside of the car.

I saw this one in the theatre some four years after it premiered. The theatre was packed, but for some reason they continued to let people in. I had to sit in the aisle, but didn't really mind it too much. In fact, due to how the floor vibrated from the audio it might have made some scenes more unnerving, for instance when Danny was riding his tricycle. Thanks for the reaction!

the scene in room 237 with the woman always scared me the most when I first saw this movie. even at first when it's just a normal woman it's like.. no one else should be here and it's all wrong. I know she's supposed to be attractive but she just looked alien to me somehow. just sitting in a tub by herself in a random room in a completely empty hotel. the way she pulls the curtain back and just looks at him without saying anything was always horrific to me, even more than when she turned into a corpse. I really hope you react to Doctor Sleep because it's a really great continuation of the story and it pays wonderful respect to the original movie (and the book too from what I understand)

The woman in the tub was seen by Hallorann and he sternly warned Danny about going in there. In the novel a chamber maid saw the dead woman in the tub when she went in to change the towels. She told Hallorann and he went in to investigate. She told others and got fired. When he saw the ghost she sat up and tried to strangle him. That was not in the movie. No back story was used to describe the ghosts. Stanley Kubrick kept it so the viewer could come up with ideas on their own.

I both like that Kubrick left it up to the viewers to come up with their own ideas and slightly dislike not having the backstory. But ultimately, this was an amazing movie all around. Thank you for sharing! 💜

Kubrick's scenes are never without random structure. He was a master of color, easter eggs, hidden references, and meticulous design. It takes 2 or more viewings to catch the nuances. One example: early on an Indian burial ground was mentioned during an outside tour. Later, in the pantry tour with Halloran, a few containers are on the shelf in the background: Baking Powder cans with Indians on them. Also, the entire hotel interior was a set. And the lack of chemistry between Jack and Wendy was intentional to increase the unsettling vibe

Yes, and the exteriors were the outside of the set in England (except the establishing shots). There are also a lot of hints as to the situation, and what is happening as far as the plot is concerned. The seeming coldness between Jack and Wendy is because Jack is an alcoholic, and they have the classic violent drunk/passive aggressive enabler relationship. It's also interesting to think about how often people lie to each other in the film. When Wendy tells the doctor Jack has been sober for 5 months...she is lying. Later, Jack tells the ghost he's been on the wagon (sober) for 'five miserable months'. But Jack's conversation is about two months after Wendy's, and why would jack minimize how long he has been sober when complaining about it? Wendy lied. Jack had been sober for about three months.

Many, many 'Red Indian' vibes in the Overlook; the jagged designs follow Indian blankets, there are artworks by a native american artist either side of Ullman's office door, many advertisements show Indians, etc. Colour: Jack's casual clothes go from mostly green to almost entirely red over the film. Set: The place the exterior of the Overlook was built in England has been used for many other movies. For example the Gotham City set is to the rear of the POV looking at the maze and Overlook. To see the place without a full set on it, see the 1960s film 'Doctor Who and the Daleks: Invasion Earth 2160 AD', which has the open space made up like a primitive mine, this space, and the rising ground behind are the place and the rising ground is where Wendy and Danny drive the Sno-cat into the mist. Also set: the interiors of the Overlook cleverly include the corridors of the studio stage on which it was built. When Danny rides his trike through those brick-lined corridors, when Wendy tends the boilers, these are actual parts of the studio itself, not the 'hotel'. That huge kitchen as well, maybe.

The Indian motifs...hint at angry spirits of Native Americans or set dressing to remind us that this is supposed to be Colorado? The film doesn't say...any more than it says if Jack offering his soul for booze is a throwaway away line showing us that Jack is desperate for alcohol or Jack making a deal with the hotel...wittingly or otherwise?

The interior sets for some of the rooms (e.g., the Grand Lodge room, the lobby/reception room) of the Overlook are based on the corresponding rooms of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, California ("Ahwahnee" was what the region was previously called from its indigenous inhabitants, the Ahwahneechee). If you ever go to Yosemite and visit the hotel, the influence is clear.

Halloran was the hero (along with Danny and Wendy, of course). He provided them with a way out and gave his life in the process. The film doesn't hit you over the head with it, but that's the case. I think that's why we hear chanting and start seeing all those visions after he's killed. The hotel has a sacrifice. A new member of their club: "All the best people." If you think of the hotel as a representation of America and it's sordid history, the movie becomes very interesting on a rewatch.

More interesting after watching Room #237 The Shining Code.

14:43 "Is that a switchboard?" Switchboards were standard at hotels and motels well into the 1990s, at least. That's how a place can put a phone in every one of a hundred rooms without having the phone-company install a hundred lines with a hundred phone-numbers. It's like a power-strip or USB hub, but for telephone connections. A nice sight in the same shot: more than a dozen phone-books in the bookcase.

(6:24) Yes, that's true _(the left wall works as well, btw)._ The important part is to not change from one wall to the other. So - if you start with the wall to your right, you have to stay at that wall to the end. That way, you will inevitably find the exit of every maze.

In the 1920s, a beautiful young Starlet of Silent film stayed at the Overlook. She was gorgeous, famous and rich. When she retired, she lived every spring through fall at the Overlook. When she was old, one day her longstanding Boytoy/Companion left her......for a younger lady. In despair, the elderly Starlet drowned herself in her bathtub....in Room 237. It was awhile before she was found. Both naked ghosts are the same person

It gives you more to the story. Plus it's different then the movie. But I won't say what, just in case you want to read it. Thanx for the reaction, have a great weekend and take care".Xx

RE: Hedge mazes - yeah, if you make sure you're always following the wall (could be the left OR the right but stay consistent), it might take a while but it WILL absolutely lead you out of the maze eventually.

1. Joe Turkel/Lloyd plays Tyrell in the original "Bladerunner" 😇 2. "Here's Johnny" was adlib by Nickelson. 3. It took 117 takes for Jack to chop through the door. He used his voluntary firefighting skills to get through all the takes. 4. The reason King didn't like this adaptation of the movie is because he didn't like the changes Kubrick made. This thing was remade just for King and although the remake was more in line with the book IMVHO it wasn't as good at this one. 5. Two of the changes he didn't like were Jack's decent into madness was too rapid, and Wendy wasn't such a patsy in the book. 6. Shelley Duval said making this film was the worst thing she ever experienced in her life. She was abused on and off camera". 7. Jack Nicholson and Scatman worked together in "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest". 8. The real villain here is the hotel itself. 9. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends will be cleared up. PS: TUESDAY😲

The camera used when following Danny on the tricycle (and elsewhere in the movie) was a Steadicam, and I believe the camera operator was the inventor of the steadicam himself.

Most DEFINITELY see "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", you'll have plenty to say about that one! Also "Chinatown" is a damn good movie. He followed this movie up with the complete opposite type of performance/movie; playing Eugene O'Neill in a love triangle with DIane Keaton and Warren Beatty in the movie "Reds" a totally understated performance. And then he was in one of the great "chick flicks", "Terms Of Endearment" with Shirley Maclaine and Debra WInger. You HAVE to see that one! On or off the channel! No one has done that movie yet, even though it won a slew of Oscars (including Nicholson, Maclaine, and Best Picture!). Ditto "Prizzi's Honor" a great 80s mob comedy. And going really early: "Carnal Knowledge" with Ann Margaret, Rita Moreno and Candice Bergen. Fantastic movie about two friends through the years: one puts women on a pedestal, the other treats him lousy. Very interesting comedy-drama, one of my favorite movies of all time.

Thank you so much!! I’m doing my best to get more vids out. I hope to get to a point I can afford an editor so I can upload more regularly! And yes I do plan to see dr. Sleep soon!!

Steven King has a LOT of choice words he uses about women in his books. Many like to say that this is just him trying to make you hate/dislike these people. I have found that horror writers, tend to reflect their own darkness in the antagonists and dark support characters in their books. It starts out as a way to "get their demons out safely." Though as they become successful, I find in every case that I have seen, they come to enjoy it, like an exhibitionist would. 39:12 Yeah, Furries were a thing far longer than most people think.

RIP Chef Man Halloren.

The hotel is in Colorado, it’s name is the Stanley Hotel. Dr. Sleep, is the sequel to this movie.

@@PlastiSeen I like you. You're fun 😆 I'm glad you replied, because though I would never recommend The Exorcist, and part 2 is a totally skippable write-off, I do highly recommend The Exorcist III Legion🤘 The Writer of the original novel William Peter Bladdy Wrote and Directed part III of the franchise, and it is a seriously terrifying Masterwork! It's actually terrifying and could almost be classified as a traditional Black Comedy, if not for the genuinely frightening Horror elements being so well executed. There's probably less gore than Silence of the Lambs, you're barely shown anything, but the implications are disturbingly memorable. I've given Legion (as I call it) as gifts to friends! And as annoying as jump scares are, Legion basically runs a Jump Scare Academy in how to effectively use Suspence to properly execute the most memorably effective scares in film! Add Legion to your list. If you rewatch The Exorcist, do so in anticipation of then screening Legion!🤘"It's a Wonderfull Life"

Not quite with the mazes. Continuously touching the right wall with your hand will eventually get you back to the very same *spot*. (Same if you did it with your left hand.) This by itself won't let you get out if: - you didn't start doing it from when you first entered - the maze is dynamic (ie. doing something like changing over time) - you woke up already somewhere in the middle of the maze without knowing how you arrived there (eg. someone knocked you out then dumped you in the middle of it)

@@PlastiSeen Say there's an set of walls, all connected to each other so they're one "set", and someone knocks you out, dumps you in random spot in that maze, and you wake up. You start touching wall of that "set", then walk all the way around it. That set could be just completely interior to the maze, surrounded by other connected sets of walls. You would eventually traverse the entire perimeter of that set, but that might not get you out. But if you start when you first enter, you will eventually get back to there. (Or out another way.)

There are characters who have the shining ability in most Stephen King stories called by different names or manifesting in several ways, but as I vaguely remember it from years ago this story was part of fleshing out that aspect of his shared worlds. No major spoilers, this "supernatural" grouping of stories are part of a connected multi-verse starting with his original series, *_The Dark Tower,_* a location at the center of infinity with many versions of Earth where these take place, and which another cast of characters such as *_The Gunslinger_* are trying to stop from destruction. Many people ascribe judeo-christian concepts to *_The Shining_* by bringing up ghosts, poltergeists, possessions, etc., but King had his own lore he invented very different than that, so, e.g., "Tony" in particular was likely anything but a figment or spirit as a result -- he's seemingly another living person, maybe even another kid slightly older than Danny with some very powerful shining abilities from another universe, who contacts people wherever he can in different worlds to help right wrongs. Sounds crazy/complex, but King might be a little bit, too; and mainly there is just so much more going on beneath the surface not only of *_The Shining,_* but pretty much all his work -- yet, interpretations can be night and day without knowing *_The Dark Tower_* books. Honestly, it is also one of those things with no absolute explanation, no binary, but the comments are still interestingly flexible outside of a larger context, almost begging for a sample. The rest of the basis for his lore is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. That's the irony behind this sense of how *_The Shining_* is traditional horror, which it both is and isn't. Kubrick is probably more responsible for that feeling in this version. Far from it being a possessed hotel with a poltergeist, demon, or anything like that, The Overlook Hotel might be better thought of as an entity closer to the star-spider creature from *_IT,_* a thing from beyond where "the dead-lights" are -- as in, "outside time and space" -- and not anything natural to *_The Dark Tower's_* "inner" worlds. Like *_IT,_* the being behind the hotel seems to have similar rules and can choose its form, hungering to feed on our feelings and life-energy (bet it even chose its current location/form on the site of a massacre more to feed on residual pain rather than being influenced by that), but the hotel seems to focus on suffering and general evil whereas *_IT_* specifically prefers to eat fear. That means the real horror of *_The Shining_* isn't what the hotel has done to this family or other individuals. It is to realize the number of guests it has lured to itself over decades; and famous, important guests among them. What it did to these caretaker families over winter is its mere entertainment during slow season, but its real goals have to do with spreading suffering around the world. With the number of politicians and elites it has touched as a result of manipulating people at a distance, it has sent generation's worth back to do its bidding without them even realizing. [By the way, I think you might be the only reactor I've seen so far catch onto that even a little from this version, with there being reasons it wasn't fully Stephen King approved... but you were right in your review that nobody gets away untainted, whether leaving part of themselves behind or taking part of the hotel with them, whether they are employees steered toward making the place look good and promoting it, the bigger fish (or flies) it aims to snare, or the little people it simply messes with out of endless amounts of hunger and malice -- the difference over why it focuses more on people who shine coming from how they are both a greater threat if catching it and for how they are also a bigger meal, a rich dessert that happens to be risky (Tony being why Danny was informed and not Hallorann who was only partly aware and tricked), though nobody is safe who ever sets foot there even if more like bland grains of rice to it -- and underneath, art-wise, this portrayal of a charming place that seems alluringly predatory is at its simplest a manifestation of psychopathy and abuse represented in the form of a setting such that nobody could escape having a piece of them torn off and absorbed by The Overlook than one could escape the same if any sadistic abuser were to "enter the picture" (get it?) of their lives.] This makes the hotel from *_The Shining_* one of the most powerfully evil, cosmic-entities Stephen King ever came up with, I think. When we ask in our real lives why there is suffering around us from war, hatred, deprivation, corruption, and so on behind a history with hundreds of millions of cruel deaths, we look at geopolitical circumstances and ourselves to think about those issues, but in the version of Earth from *_The Shining_* the answer to all of those questions is, "The Overlook Hotel made it happen, because it _likes_ to hurt us." It just reaches out and makes it happen with its influence while seeming like a charming, famous hotel -- a chillingly similar, reminiscent description of the attributes behind a grandiose psychopath, here perhaps being the source of that very thing, that cold spite -- and it is fully aware of what it is doing, and sadistically enjoys every moment of it, even getting bored at times when it can't so that it comes up with these little games for itself such as what it does to its winter caretakers. Depending on how long it has been here under different guises, it may have had a hand in every horrible thing that ever happened, or even is just a straight-up cousin to or alternate version of *_IT,_* except instead of hundreds of lives it has ravaged billions from afar through its many webs. Is it scary? If you think about it, that hotel is actually full-on twisted and sick, just pure evil. An all-consumer, it's beyond scary. It is horror at its most psychologically and socially complex, and at a masterpiece level when combined with the rest of King's shared lore between stories. Totally worth reading, too, and I mean every one of King's connected series -- *_The Dark Tower_* books especially! *tl;dr:* The Overlook Hotel is a cosmic clout-chaser. It's an analogue for manipulative, parasitic, cruel abuse as can manifest across humans throughout history, near and far, big and small. Summed up in one phrase: _"An abuser entered the picture,"_ and that is the entire story from start to finish beyond the lore-specific details, literally beginning to end. By whatever space-magic King uses as a writer, it's a premise rooted in a visual literalism punctuating an otherwise purely abstracted, psychological allegory.

Kubrick was...different. If parts of this blew your mind and made you uneasy I can't wait until you watch A Clockwork Orange, ahahahahaha.

Love your reactions ;) Would love for you to cover Crimson Tide.

The 2 little girls were not twins. They were 8 and 10. They just have the same dresses on. During the interview, when he talked about the tragedy he mentioned their ages

So much to say & think about this movie, But I'll just point out there are actually 2 Gradys in the film. In the beginning of the movie the story Jack is told is about a man who killed his wife and two daughters ages 8 & 10 and it only occurred a few years earlier. The Grady Jack meets & talks with in the bathroom is from the 1920's & He killed his wife and twin daughters, the twins Danny sees of course. I'm pretty sure the man at the end of the movie is the other more recent Grady who blew the back of his brains out! To me the picture at the very end suggests a kind of Curse of reincarnated spirits Destined to repeat the same heinous acts against their families lifetime after lifetime & feeding the evil of the Hotel.... 🤔

That was my bad. I have adhd and tend to be bad with names, so all that stuck was Grady! 🥲

Movie was made around 1980. The Danny is a latchkey kid. Helicopter parents were the odd balls back than, the exception. Most kids wandered around everywhere by themselves. Going to the playground on bikes with your friends and no parental supervision was common. But, every adult in the neighborhood was your parent. They all knew where you lived and what your name was. Any adult could have stopped you and took you to your parents if you were misbehaving, much like the lady did when she found Danny wandering around outside.. Now-a-days, if you touch another person's kid, there would be hell to pay. You can't even correct them when they are running a muck and their parent's aren't addressing the issue. Lastly, corporal punishment was common in those days. No time outs. If you did something wrong, you got spanked, period, end of story. So, you did everything you could so that the neighbors didn't complain to your parents that they saw you misbehaving. My biggest worry for Danny in this movie is that it's Winter and he's not in school and I don't see Wendy or Jack homeschooling him. 12:56 No table or chairs behind Jack. 13:03 Chairs and table behind Jack. 19:04 in the background, no small lamps with white shades. 19:11 Small lamps with white shades. 22:20 Very good, most first time viewers do'n't understand what is going on in this scene, but you picked it up immediately. The reason why Danny looks like that is because he's doing the shining. He is contact Dick Hallern from Colorado to Florida. 30:11 No Bear Rug in front of the fire place. 31:49 Bear rug in front of fire place. This, it's there and now it's not takes place throughout the whole movie. Light switches, lamps, mirrors, etc. Also, the layout of the hotel is non-sensible. People have tried to map it out and it just doesn't work. While these are subtle features and might not be noticed consciously, the subconscious mind picks up on this and that is why you get this uneasy feeling that "something isn't quite right." As for your question at the end, why only Jack and Grady? Well, I can only speculate as to the answer, but maybe it was because they had a wife and kids.

"they don't have much chemistry". Yes. He's an asshole, and she's sweet and submissive.

I definitely agree!!

Pretty good reaction to a complex classic film. Although I don't often subscribe to his themes, I do recognize Kubrick as a great filmmaker, and "The Shining" (TS) is certainly a masterpiece of cinema. I like it very much even though I'm not a fan of Stephen King or his books. This must be due solely to Kubrick. Well, let's also give credit to the actors and the production crew, too. As great as Nicholson and Duvall were in the film, that little boy, Danny Lloyd, really made the movie for me. I think he was five when he started filming TS. For a child that age, he was just outstanding. He himself came up with the finger puppet for Tony, his alter ego. Kudos, also, to Philip Stone and Joe Turkel for being quietly sinister and menacing. I don't want to forget good-guy Scatman Crothers, either. Well-done Scatman. Then there's the Overlook. Not only is it alive, but it is the personification of evil. TS has all the Kubrick touches. All those long hallway and hedge maze shots are one-point-perspective. That's a Kubrick trademark. Also, don't some of those nighttime hedge maze shots remind you of HAL's "eye" in 2001 a bit? They do me. Another characteristic of Kubrick is his focus on intense person-to-person interactions. Yeah, TS has just a little bit of that. By the way, isn't it weird HAL in 2001 acts like a person, and the people act like computers/robots? Those long tracking-shots as people move about the hotel are another Kubrick trait. The musical score as an integral part of the narrative of TS is also textbook Kubrick. Kubrick was a perfectionist, and that is reflected in his films. For example, background is as significant as foreground. Why does Jack's typewriter change color? Is it because Jack has been transformed? Oh, "All work and no play" goes back to at least 1659. It didn't originate with TS although it certainly fits. Why do bits of the hotel, like the furniture, for example, appear, disappear or move about? Is it because the hotel is alive? The answer is yes by the way. It's definitely not due to continuity problems. Finally, Kubrick always forces the viewer to think about and dissect his films. That certainly happens in TS. As a result, we and Kubrick share in a common creative impulse when watching TS. The film becomes a living thing. Here are a few of the other things I've noticed about TS. The film is replete with mirrors. They're everywhere. Watch how they affect Jack. Are they how the hotel projects its power? A portal of sorts? Do they also absorb power? Are they its eyes as well? Likewise, there are mazes everywhere. There's the obvious hedge maze, but the hotel itself is a maze, and so is the hallway carpet. Early on, Wendy remarks on the need for breadcrumbs, a reference to Hansel and Gretel and the maze-like quality of the hotel. TS may be something of a variation of Theseus and the Minotaur with Danny as Theseus, Tony as Ariadne etc. Wendy also says the hotel is like a ghostship. The hotel feeds off Danny and Jack's shining power and gets more powerful as time passes. The hotel wants Danny dead so it can absorb him and his power. Did you notice all the knives pointed at Danny's head when he and Hallorann were talking in the kitchen. Numbers seem to come up a lot in the film. For example, Danny wears a shirt with 42 on the sleeve, the tv with no power cord is showing "Summer of 42," and room 237 is 2x3x7=42. I think Kubrick's wife said "Summer of 42" was one of his favourite movies along with "The Bank Dick." The latter is a great movie with W. C. Fields. When Jack returns to the ballroom where the 1920s party is going on, a woman walks by him with a bloody handprint on her backside. This is about the time the advocaat is spilled on him. Jack also wipes some advocaat on Grady's back. In the bathroom scene, it's clear Grady's girls also had "the shine" and wanted to destroy the hotel, but they were killed instead and absorbed. Grady himself, probably like Jack, also had "the shine." When Jack and Wendy are being shown their apartment, Jack eyes the two departing young ladies. A sign of his lechery? Ditto the girlie magazine he's reading in the lobby early on. He definitely has a wondering eye. Even early on, he doesn't seem to hold Wendy in high regard. When Jack enters room 237, the carpet there is obviously suggestive of the sex act. Very phallic etc. Sex, in one way or other, features in many Kubrick films. Room 237 is the heart of the hotel. The nude woman represents the hotel seducing Jack. The heartbeat we hear is the hotel's and signals the hotel's malevolent activity and increasing power. We hear it overtly but weakly when Danny is riding the trike on/off the carpet and when Jack is bouncing the ball. The high-pitched tone indicates "shining" is happening. So, Jack clearly shines, too. He's one of those who doesn't realize he has it. Jack several times in the film exhibits the Kubrick glare or stare, a shot of a man glowering up at the camera from beneath lowered brows, an indicator of danger or madness. You see it in "Full Metal Jacket." And I think HAL in 2001 also shows it. Doesn't HAL's red pupil change size? When Jack goes on his rant about his obligations to the hotel before Wendy conks him, he's not talking about Ullmann and co. He's talking about "the hotel," the thing that's alive. That's who he's made the contract and sold his soul to. Remember Lloyd the bartender's ominous hotel remarks. REDRUM is MURDER backwards, and it signifies anti-murder. It's a totem that protects against murder. That's why Danny writes it on the bathroom door. Jack can batter the door, but he won't get in. Danny is also warning Wendy and arming her with his REDRUM recital. The photos are part of the hotel like the typewriter and furniture. When Jack dies, he's absorbed by the hotel and winds up in the 1920s photo. Towards the end, the hotel's evil spirit, the caretaker, may have abandoned Jack to die in the maze. He did fail in his task. That ball in the photo was the same one where the advocaat was spilled. So he was there in 1921 and he wasn't. Kubrick deleted a final scene from TS. Wendy was in hospital and Ullman was visiting. He told her all was normal (except for Hallorann, I suppose) at the hotel. No Jack. At least, I think that's what I read once. Might be wrong about that. I've watched several reactions to TS, and I'm amazed at some of the observations. Got some beefs. A lot of people don't make a connection between Danny's first vision of the blood elevator, which signifies all the death at the hotel, and his passing out. They disassociate these two events when clearly they go together as the image of Danny's horrified face shows. From the get-go, it's clear Danny can see past events and future events. He knows Jack got the job and is going to call Wendy. He knows he doesn't want them to go to the hotel. He knows the hotel signifies danger. Why don't people notice that Danny's shirt and jumper are torn when he come to the Colorado Lounge after being strangled? Danny's clearly in shock, too. When Danny is foaming at the mouth and Hallorann is having his mini-fit, Danny is clearly communicating with Hallorann there is danger, come and help. How can Wendy be so sound asleep before Danny wakes her? Come on, the poor woman has been on edge for weeks. She hasn't been sleeping well. Now that she's locked crazy Jack up, she literally passes out, thinking they're safe. After Danny slides down from the bathroom window, why are people surprised he comes back into the hotel? It's freakin' cold outside. Do you live at the equator or something? After Jack kills Hallorann and Danny screams, why are people surprised when Danny bolts his hiding place? It's not a hiding place anymore, Jack knows where he is. Anyway, the hotel will lead him to Danny. Danny runs outside because he's actually luring Jack into the maze to meet his fate. Danny is the hero of TS, he's Theseus, who killed the monster in the maze.

10:05 Nearly, some of it was done with the camara guy in a wheelchair, some of it is Steadicam.

Welp, your observation about the lack of chemistry between Jack and Wendy really bore fruit to the greatest degree in short order. For as much tension and claustrophobia and oppressiveness this film expresses, I find it to be one of his most approachable, along with Paths of Glory. I believe this was the first feature film to ever use the Steadicam (the stabilized tracking shots of Danny on the Big Wheel or going through the hedge maze). The novel upon which the film is based was written by Stephen King (same title), and he infamously HATED the film version. Short-sighted and and foolish in my opinion, as this is one of the greatest and most effective films ever released. But, I get pride of ownership and adaptations are always going to leave the originator feeling some sort of disjointed. There is a 20-30 minute video out there on KZread of "the making of the Shining" that was shot by I believe Kubrick's daughter, and it's pretty interesting to see some BTS footage of a cinematic classic.

Like many others, I'm also familiar with the Simpsons take on this but have never seen it myself. Definitely seems less horror than I originally thought (kinda like Silence of the Lambs). Another classic in the bag! ~stuffs it into pocket~ Thanks for watching it "with" me! :D

this is a great movie. another great horror movie you should check out The Excorcist

This movie will always be a horror classsic, but Kubrick didnt really follow the original storyline. If you can find the '90s mini series The Shining starring Steven Weber and Rebecca DeMornay, give it a go. It gets a lot of hate, but at a running time of 4 1/2 hours, it tells the full story. Id also recommend reading the book!
