Absolutely brilliant essay. Your editing is sensational. Cheers from Paris Captain!

You say thank you for watching; I say thank you for your very generous and perceptive comments about my music editing on The Shining. I must say that that was my happiest time in all the time I was in the film industry. My experience of working with Stanley was extremely easy and harmonious. Contrary to what others say (usually those who did not work with him closely), he was the easiest and best boss I ever had. I'm now writing a shortish book about my experience of working with him, provisionally entitled 'Working with Stanley'. Hopefully it'll be published before the end of next year.

One thing I hated a lot about how this movie aged was how people see the movie now. Today, most Hollywood horror is just jumpscares and gore. The Shining was different. It was you, watching something happen in a hotel, with now way to stop it. The tension grows, and the entire experience is so uncomfortable. In a weird and twisted way, The Shining is beautiful

I remember movies of the 1970's and 80's and some later films being much scarier and ominous than jump scare films where we then later see the full demon and there's a climactic monster battle scene . "Talk To Me" is a current film that doesn't rely on that trope really. Did you ever see the 1970's film "Burn Offerings" with Bette Davis and Karen Black? Movies like that are what get to me, especially that chauffeur!!! 😫

@@SWLinPHX. I was around 8 years old when I first saw Burnt Offerings, that chauffeur gave me nightmares for years. Another scene that bothered me (and still does) is when Oliver Reed finds that pair of old spectacles in the swimming pool and puts them on. There’s a bullet hole in one of the lenses, and he goes all Jack Torrance/Jack Nicholson on us and almost drowns his son. Burnt Offerings might not have aged as well as other horror films from that era but it was the first one that started me on my love affair with horror, especially psychological & slow burn horror. The Changeling with George C. Scott is another movie that stayed with me forever. “Are you the child Cora killed by the coal cart?” Those seance scenes….😱

I always thought the scene where Jack (aka The Hotel at this point) tells Danny he wishes they could stay "forever and ever" at 8:30 was a clear reference to what Danny heard the Twins saying earlier. And while it probably means The Hotel has well and truly got into Jack's brain at this point, it could also possibly be Jack/The Hotel simply messing with Danny because it knows it will scare him to hear that after his encounter with the twins. Any thoughts?

The god of video essays has awakened from his eternal slumber.

You are absolutely correct that the music infuses every second of the film with meaning, terror, and emotion. There isn't a moment when music isn't playing. With music comes emotion and Kubrick wants emotion in every second of his films. This is one of the most emotional films ever made. I am sure that Kubrick was involved with the musical evolution of the film. All of his films have wall-to-wall music infusing emotion into every second of his films.

Wow, your insight into the score of this film was absolutely brilliant. Thank you for introducing us to Gordon Stainforths work. After seeing some DVD extras, I only remember seeing Wendy Carlos and Rachel Ekinds commentary about their composition of the main theme, Dies Irae.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Something that Stephen King, and Kubrick, understood with The Shining, is that far scarier than an unseen spirit or specter, is an unhinged human. Especially a parent that has power and authority over you. I watched this as a very young child, and it really stayed with me. In later years helping me to understand, but not excuse, my own father. Thank you for this.

Absolutely. The monsters didn't scare me. Jack scared me. His family were walking on eggshells from day 1 around him.

Just when I think everything that could be said about The Shining has been, you drop in a fresh, fascinating video (utilizing incredible effects that I'll never be able to duplicate, yet inspire me). Thank you!

The legend of video essays is back!

I recognize Bartok’s song being used years earlier in the Vampira Show’s theme. Vampira (Maila Nurmi) would slowly walk down a dark hallway until she reached the camera- as the music crescendoed, she screams into the camera and welcomes us into her attic for a late-night spooky movie. It’s a great string instrumental that makes you dread whatever is about to happen next!

i love cool ways in which eldritch horror is implemented in ways you dont normally see. whether intentional or not, the idea of the voice of whatever is overlooking The Overlook being the very music of the film is amazing. wonderful

Being a massive fan of The Shining, I’ve seen several videos and documentaries about this movie. This offered a new take on it that I’ve never heard of before. I’m truly so impressed by the level of perfection in this video.

@@jeffjones3040 (this reply is late)I, personally wouldn't call it frightening, but rather more unnerving. Since to me, the movie focuses more on the erie and creepy factors, instead of " scary " factors, like how the creator of this video said, the music is essentially baked into the movie and it sets the tone for each scene and every score has at least one jolting note and tension building sequence that can put a person on edge. Also the bluntness of notion something bad is going to happen, from the way they casually talk about cannibalism to jack and Grady's talk in the bathroom. While nowadays it might not be THAT effective it was probably jolting to watch when it first released.

This film is in my top 10. I've always watched because of the score. I can't believe the composer has left a comment that's a great compliment. Until the release of the 4k I've only know the cut version, it's seems to me that only the Moog is used until Jack starts to lose his mind'. That's the start of real strings being played. Maybe Mr Stanforth could comment of this is the case. Great video.

i think it adds to the sinister feeling knowing they didn't choose the music until after they shot the scenes

I love how well Wendy Carlos' work is presented in the Shining, it's a subtle ode to her talent as a sound technician and producer. I love her so much she's my biggest inspiration like, EVER

Like a palate cleanser, your videos make me remember what editing could really look like in the right hands

"I watch the shinning every few years and each time I find kubrick has somehow remade it in my absence" how can u start a video like that you psycho💘

This is so ironic in that Kubrick meticulously plans every aspect of the production, so that the music was added in post and fits so well with the cinematography without forethought by Kubrick is amazing. I have seen several documentaries about The Shining and this the first I have seen that mentions the musical synchronization.

I've watched quite a few of The Shining analysis videos on youtube, but I very much love this one.

I'm always impressed by the editing work on your videos. I imagine this took a long time to put together, but it's very well done and looks amazing.

God I missed this channel

This was a really insightful comment that added a lot of context to thd creative decisions pointed out in this video. Hopefully more people read this instead of the hundreds of comments reiterating the same things. Thanks for writing that out.

@@EdmondOliverLives This. Without trying to sound hyperbolic, I’d say half of the comments are all various forms of the same three things over and over. It’s disappointing.

Cheers to you, MakeStuff. This adds yet another chilling level of composition/coincidence to this masterful film.

Well I'm glad I stumbled across this channel! Really like the way you put the scenes in the pictures on the wall. Lovely touch.

first time I'm upset at the algorithm for not suggesting something. very upset I'm just seeing this today. welcome back and thank you for everything

It’s good to see you man. Your videos have always been my favorite

Bravo! Great breakdown of the importance of the music to this classic film. With a plethora of Shining video essays on this platform, you really brought some refreshing and intriguing new ideas for us to ponder. Can't wait to see it for the umpteenth time.

Humans are so amazing. To create so many layers to a piece of art. And then here you are to analyze it in another artistic way.

Dude your editing is superb, you’re an inspiration for content creation for me

I've just been thinking about how much I have missed this channel! I am so glad you are back.

I swear this is true, just last night I was thinking: "when is this guy releasing a new video?"

Man, you are so good at this! Fantastic editing and analysis.
