You know Jack Nicholson used to be a volunteer firefighter the fake door they used the first time he destroyed it in one swing so they had to put a real one in
@Brian Waltman the story I heard was he went through several Real doors shooting this scene. I'm sure him being a volunteer firefighter has a lot to do with it but even more so was the number of takes Stanley Kubrick was known for.
Fun fact, they had to shoot this scene several times with different doors made of stronger wood. Nicholson was a volunteer firefighter early in life & would make quick work of it. Even chopping the first door down in just 3 swings
@@guistmagik2506Guess you're stupid. She was genuinely suffering when making these scenes, they pushed her so she'd actually cry, what's shown in the movie is her real reaction.
The facial expressions that Jack Nicholson makes during the 'Not by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin' part always got me laughing cause his expressions went from 😳to 🤨
Unsettling is a great word to describe it and it's in my top 5 of horror movies along with Salems Lot and The Ring. Insidious and The Exorcist will always be the scariest to me.
Rest in piece and if I was alone I would’ve screamed at finding this woman had died and I didn’t get chance to meet her even though I’ll be famous soon
I first watched this at 18 didn’t think nothing of it at the time until I became a father myself now I truly understand the horrors of this film and what they presented
*I've read comments from people saying how "ugly" Shelly Duvall and Jack Nicholson are. But people complain that they want to see more regular people in movies, more people they can identify with. Stanley Kubrick delivered exactly what people asked for.* *Because we see supermodel characters in several horror films. That's why the filmmakers have someone taking off their clothes and making sweet love every five minutes. Just for the sake of beautiful, well-defined bodies. So much so that in the 90s miniseries, Steven Weber and Rebecca De Morney, are the standard couple of that time. They were beautiful and perfect at the time of the 90s in front of the cameras. In this film, 'The Shining' (80s), it didn't need any of that to be scary. The only scene where someone is shown without clothes is the bathtub scene.* *And the acting was so perfect, so realistic that Shelly Duvall and Jack Nicholson delivered that we can really relate. Shelley Duvall herself delivered a realistic performance (due to the fatigue and stress that Stanley Kubrick put her through), and I really identified with her. I think I would have the same reactions of fear as her, if I were going through this.*
The way in which the camera moves with the axe is so frightening, as well as how Jack switches from looking crazy to just looking completely unbothered.
Even though Halloran is the hero in the movie, he broke every rule to entering a horror movie specially ‘The Shining’ 1. Never Go Alone 2. Always a Weapon 3. Alert the Cops 4. Secondary Weapon
Going alone, yea he should’ve probably brung someone along, but how would he explain the real reason for going to the overlook hotel to an accompanying person especially if said person doesn’t know what shining is? There also reason he probably wouldn’t want to put someone else in potential danger. Bring a weapon and secondary weapon, for sure, but Jack did ambush him and who knows if he could even put up a fight. Call the cops? Again, he’d have to explain the situation and who knows if he’d be taken seriously.
@@MasterHappychipmunk Good Points: Bringing someone with him, in the Extended Cut Dick mentions at the airport that he has to go up and replace beacon, maybe asked for assistance. Yes Jack ambushed him, but if had someone along could be prevented or if had weapon maybe able to get quick hit on Jack before dying, if weapon was sharpe or blunt. Call Cops: Could lie that reason he was making urgent call up there, because they called him before hand saying something was wrong, might work with police or not.
i would say the most petrifying thing (as a film student+ aspiring professional film director and screenwriter) of this scene is that it took 180 takes as kubrick thought shelly wasn’t scared enough. this scene is brutal when you look at it in a deeper perspective.
The combination of amazing performances, spine-chilling music/soundtrack, razorsharped sound design, pitch perfect directing, immersive camera movements and still shots, brutal violence and visual imagery, and stressful situation makes you feel the real terror inside out, and how this scene makes it into the cinema history books as one of the most terrifying and shocking scenes ever put in a horror film… a real MASTERPIECE of terror. RIP Shelley Duvall, the heart and soul of this movie, the most realistic film acting displaying the living nightmare of a character in any horror movie, a LEGEND to be always remembered. Jack Nicholson: the performance of a lifetime. “The Shining”, the most artful horror film ever made.
Dick Halloran is the hero of the film, because his arrival distracts Jack Torrance from killing Wendy - he also brings the snowcat she and Danny finally escape in. Shame he lost his life to do it! Poor old Scatman Crothers was pushing 70 at the time, and Kubrick made him film the murder scene and fall down dead so many times, he wound up needing a chiropractor!
When I saw this as a kid I kept thinking “ close the window and break the glass !! There’s plenty of wiggle room !! “ But then again Kubrick’s interpretation of Wendy is an abomination compared to the strong and capable equal to Jack that King created in his novel. His Wendy has agency. Really disliked the neurotic, easy manipulated mess that he had Duvall portray. She did a phenomenal job regardless. This is one of the most convincing portrayals of extreme fright and terror ever on film. Great job Shelley !!
R.I.P Shelley Duvall, Richard Kiel, and George Carlin I miss Shelley Duvall, Richard Kiel, and George Carlin so much and Shelley Duvall along with Richard Kiel and George Carlin will always be my absolute favorites. Shelley Duvall was a brilliant actress in The Shining and Popeye 1980, I love The Shining by Stanley Kubrick as one of my all time favorite films, and the scene where Wendy Torrance swings the bat at Jack Torrance was my favorite part of The Shining. I also really love both Richard Kiel and George Carlin. Richard Kiel was an incredible actor in The Longest Yard 1974 with Burt Reynolds, George Carlin was the best American comedian with stellar common sense, and Back in Town as well as You Are All Diseased from 1996 to 1999 are both my absolute favorite George Carlin specials.
I noticed it too. My guess is that it’s a purposeful continuity error to make the movie seem more supernatural as there are many in this movie if you look closely.
Well,there’s a sequence in a British ad for the shining where we see Jack obliterating the right side of the door. I think Kubrick cut that out to add to the threat.
At the end of the scene as the snowcat approaches, notice that both panels of the door are knocked out completely, when before only one was. Movie goof.
B'cuz it's says to do so in the Script. U KNOW this just "make- believe", right? Or are one of these brainiacs that SWEAR the earth IS IN FACT FLAT, too?? 🤔🤘🏽🤪Just jokin' w/u... ✌🏽😉
Jack can just switch it on and off going into character where i think shelley had kubrick on her case pushing her to the point of exhaustion to get that performance.
People keep focusing on the terror Wendy feels, but I can’t imagine being in Danny’s position. Being outside and then in the distance you hear the bellowing screams of your mother, as you hear the crashing thuds of a fireaxe accompanying it. I wouldn’t be surprised if Danny thought here and now that her mother was being butchered by his father at this very moment
Jack played it full force buddy, "Wendy, I'm home and Here's Johnny!" He deserved an oscar nod as did Shellie Duvall. One of the most scariest scenes ever.

Thinking about how Shelley Duvall was nominated for the Razzies when she performed one of the most convincing display of pure terror of all time
At least she didn’t win.
Really I don’t understand why? This portrayal was accurate to me🤷🏿♀️
it was comical! shit acting! pantomime stuff
Razzies are bullshit anyway.
It isn't very convincing. She just screamed. In all honesty, she deserved the razzie.
That crazed look on his face when he said "Here's Johnny!" is probably what got him cast as the Joker.
Yes hears joney😮
Honestly the scene where he’s laughing in the fridge is probably what got him cast as the Joker.
Na, the big bad wolf assured that.
Yea true but between the shining and the batman was a good span of 10 or 11 yrs

Absolutely right

She passed away you guys, from complications of diabetes
The music score made this movie more frightening and chilling.
Absolutely!!
That “Wendy, I’m home” killed me 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought the funniest line was “I’ll blow your house in”
Like axing through the door is a wipe-your-shoes-on-the-mat ritual.
The dark comedy in this film was gold.

no one thinks they are ugly youve just made that up

"HEEEEERES JOHNY 💖" had me in pure tears...
Yes, that was indeed a quote in the movie.
The way the music is matching her voice is terrifying
That's Stanley Kubrick. I'm surprised he didn't put himself in the movie somehow too. He probably did and Noone noticed

Imagine coming home with an axe. Opening the door saying I opened it up 😂😂😂
I like to watch the shining during the Christmas season haha
RIP Shelley Duvall.
The movement of the camera as it follows the swing of the ax is so good

He chopped away at both
I noticed it too. My guess is that it’s a purposeful continuity error to make the movie seem more supernatural as there are many in this movie if you look closely.
The error gets brought up often lol.
Not an "error" it's part of the movie by design, Do yourself a favor and go watch the video the wendy theory ;)
