Last time I watched The Shining, I felt the same way about the typewriter tantrum scene. After roughly an hour of setup, the plot makes a permanent shift in tone. Even when you know everything is going to go wrong, you're not entirely sure WHEN it will happen until seeing this scene. It just hits you over the head. And, in it, Jack drops probably the best and most emphatic "F-----" I've heard in a movie.
Happy October! The video is finally up! Only took 9 months to do it... Hope you enjoy this iteration of the series, this one caused a lot of headaches. Part 3 won't be out for awhile, but I have an already completed review of Sleepwalkers (1992) that I'll release later this month for Halloween. Then probably an Exorcist 2 review for the 50th anniversary of The Exorcist special after that? We'll see! Remember to take your medicine... EDIT: I mistakenly attributed the Stanley Hotel to not wanting Kubrick to use Room 217 out of fear of residents not renting the room, while it was in fact the Timberline Lodge, the exterior shooting location of the hotel, who made this request... I apologize for this mess up, I feel like an idiot. Thank you to KevinNott for pointing this out to me.
I always had the impression that in the Kubrick film, Jack told Grady he'd read the newspaper articles about Grady murdering his family and then committing suicide because the newspaper article clipping was in the scrapbook he found at the hotel, as this is a big element of the novel and the stupid TV miniseries. However, Kubrick's film doesn't draw any attention to the scrapbook, it is just seemingly lying on the table next to his typewriter at one point.
While i do think its possible jack sexually abused danny, your wrong in thinking there arent any ghosts in the film, and that jack did that to danny in room 237 They explicitly had the only way for jack to escape the freezer be because someone let him out. A ghost. They talk about it in behind the scenes featurettes that it was specifically put in as the one defining moment that undeniably had to be committed by actual ghosts, that could Not be denied by the audience And kubrick himself spoke multiple times on the idea of jack being a ghost that escaped the hotel and took new form and in the end returns to where he “belongs” Ghosts. Are. Real.
Also Danny sees ghosts, Wendy sees ghosts, and Halloran seems to be aware they exist as well. Like I guess jack just deluded himself into thinking Danny saw those two twins chopped up? It’s dumb
55:56 I believe it was the Timberline Lodge, the exterior shooting location for Kubrik's film, that requested the room number change from 217 to 237. According to the Timberline's website, they had been concerned that "future guests at the lodge might be afraid to stay there" and asked that the number be changed to a nonexistent room. I believe Rob Ager covered the topic in his video debunking the moon landing nonsense. The Stanley Hotel, on the contrary, never shied away from the publicity. Regardless, 217 is still the most requested room at both hotels. Excellent video!
I really love your videos and I can't wait for part two. Even though I like your theories and subscribe to them, I think it's hard to deny that the narrative doesn't feature any paranormal forces. Especially with Wendy witnessing the ghosts in the end and the shining powers itself. Still, hope I will see part three soon :) Great work. You're a great talent.
Aw man I was lucky enough to see this video when it was posted before, then I went to watch it again and it was gone. Hopefully this one stays up and there's no more issues!
11:26 This scene is cool because it looks like CG even though it's not. They supposedly took the model that Jack is gazing at and superimposed an overhead shot of Wendy and Danny walking through an apartment complex. For the buildings themselves, an image matte was used to make them appear like hedges. They must have also duplicated the shot of the model to make it look so expansive.
I haven't watched Part 1, and maybe you clarify this there, but you seem not to have read the novel. I mean, you're confused about plot points in the mini series that are unmistakably explained in the book, and you seem to give Kubrick credit for things that he took from King's novel, as if they were original to Kubrick.
You're back! Another fantastic review! ^^ Looking forward to Part 3 whenever that releases (no rush though, these videos clearly take a lot of effort to make)
30:17 Wendy wants to F**K! I laughed at that way harder than I probably should have. It was so sudden and over the top. I love the film, never saw the miniseries and now I see that that was a wise choice. Thank you for putting yourself through this so we don’t have to. We get all of the laughs but none of the trauma! On a separate note; it’s so stupid that I have to censor my language so my comment doesn’t get deleted. What are you doing RUclips? 😖
NIN’s was the perfect choice of music for that whole segment. I do think you could’ve used the theme song from Benny Hill when Jack was flailing around in the snow with those oh-so-scary hedge animals. 😬
I think the theory about Danny being sexually abused by Jack is a stretch. there is extensive background info by the makers of the film and nothing suggests as much and even in the film you really have to stretch the interpretation. great video tho
The main reason I don't like the miniseries is because it's way too long. If it were shorter, the so-bad aspects might be more fun, but it just goes on and on and on. This reminds me of King's longer novels that I always (always!) wish were more tightly edited. Also, the tendency of King to explain every little detail (Jack was abused! Now he's an abuser!) undercuts the horror, ala how later versions of Halloween tried to rationalize and explain how Michael Myers became a serial killer (snore!). Nevertheless, I can see the temptation to bring back the hedge animals- they were scary AF in the book! But they turned out to be just like pictures in a book that can't hurt anyone ...
I disagree with the "Danny's Ordeal" theory. Danny's hand was in the same position the whole scene.Danny was in the room and Jack was asleep at his desk having the dream. Idk. Not enough evidence to me. I think Stephen Webber really tried. 😹😭
I watched this once when it first came out on dvd. The kid was a terrible casting choice. I kept staring at his teeth in every scene. You convinced, i am throwing my dvd copy in the garbage
Native Americans were going bye bye either way and the white man takes all the blame for it. That's our burden, I guess the Chinese or Japanese would have been more benevolent coming the other way because they've proven to be so peaceful and tolerant.

I was literally about to type this same thing. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one with that impression.
First comment i've left on RUclips in ten years .... ready for part 3!
working on it currently :)

Ghosts. Are. Real.
Is he going to just say that the photo at the end of the movie is also a metaphor?
Also Danny sees ghosts, Wendy sees ghosts, and Halloran seems to be aware they exist as well. Like I guess jack just deluded himself into thinking Danny saw those two twins chopped up? It’s dumb
Welcome back from the abyss. Luckily I got to watch this during the short time it was posted. Think I'll rewatch it in honor of its return

Oh my god I’m an idiot you are 100% correct FUCK how did I miss that
My mother in law lives across hwy from the Stanley and that is correct.
I appreciate your breakdown, as well as your inclusion of Silent Hill music. I look forward to the eventual final part.
I've been waiting *SO* long for this!! 👏🏼👏🏼🤸🏽♂️
"I'm coming, Danny! I'm right behind you!"
I like how daddy has just been violently attacked and, after being accused, Jack says to him: "I'm getting crucified here son!" Lol

Glad you’ve come back 😁
@parkerbreu call me purple cuz I always come back
Yay, I remember enjoying part one ❤ I can’t wait to watch!
The mini series os so hard to get through. The acting is ruuuuuff. Especially little Danny makes it unbearable.
Superb. Your editing is excellent, and two thumbs up for the sound design. I look forward to your next project.
I’m glad someone noticed! Thanks!

I was waiting for this 😂 Thanks!
Can’t believe I just saw that you posted episode 2!!! 🎉
I came for a review of the miniseries but somehow ended up watching 3/4 of Kubrick’s adaptation with narration and footnotes

Point of correction it was the Timberline Lodge in Oregon that didn't want Kubrick using number his was filmed there not the Stanley in Estes.
ITS FINALLY HERE, AFTER ONE WHOLE SUMMER VACATION, ITS HERE!
And in October, good timing!
So cool

@@silvermainecoons3269 I will continue to throw NIN into every video I can, Reznor is a fucking genius

I have been waiting on this one. Thanks!
Where’s the third one
i hope part 3 will be out soon!
These hedge animals are terrifying.
Can't wait for part three!
If there's no ghosts in Kubrick's Shining, who opened the pantry door?
whats goin on, i already watched this months ago. is this the mandela effect in action? :D cool videos, btw!
Warner Brothers copyright striked me 🙃 so this is the new edited down version of it. Thanks!
Welcome back!

I feel like King *really* softened the edge on Jack, in part, because the more unhinged/crazy version reflects poorly on him
I disagree with the "Danny's Ordeal" theory. Danny's hand was in the same position the whole scene.Danny was in the room and Jack was asleep at his desk having the dream. Idk. Not enough evidence to me. I think Stephen Webber really tried. 😹😭
Finally!
I get why you don’t like the miniseries but the plot is very faithful to the book.
let’s fucking goooooooooooooo

LMFAOOO
R O Q U E
Jack and Wendy seem like cardboard cutouts and Danny an alien. Not much of an improvement on a masterpiece!
king aint fit to carry stanleys golf clubs.
Holy fuck LMFAO
The 80s one is goofy to me with all the stupid faces they make

@@iamamaniaintreading the actual history of Native American societies makes me very happy we conquered them.
Idk I think ur tooo obsessed with that theory of sexual harassment
