The Shining rules. But since the sequel is coming soon we did our duty and went looking for sins. Found some. I bet you're surprised.
Thursday: Holiday sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

I love that the "All work and no play" scene has paragraphs, different spacings, etc like he actually thought he was writing a story.
And the typos in a few of the sentences too make it seem realistic
I have been wondering about that recently. I am wondering if Jack actually did right something, but the "hotel" changed it to that once sentence, only for Wendy.
Best part of the movie!
Why did Jermey add sins for when jack said he would sell his soul for a glass of beer? 7:56
@@potato7617It was just a joke about how that line contains actual real life sins.
I love how the sin counter is a character now

@@dbzgotmadness dont disrespect Sinny like that
I still cannot believe that Shelley Duvall was nominated for worst actress in this movie. She went through hell during the making of this film to the point where her hair started falling out from stress. Her performance is both mesmerizing and terrifying. She deserved better.
Right? The fact that they rescinded her nomination doesn’t changed how shitty they were for doing that in the first place.
I'm pretty sure that the people in charge of the Razzies can't watch anything sincerely. Anything slightly unconventional is just a potential cheap joke.
She was perfectly cast even if she drove Kubrick nutty.
I didn't know that. So unfair. I felt her fear when watching the movie and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Stanley Kubrick was purposely stressing her out and being mean to her during production as filming went on, because he felt it would get her into character more, considering she becomes more and more stressed throughout the movie.
I always loved how the architecture is purposefully wrong across the movie. Kubrick made sure that characters were filmed walking down halls that, when you map them out, are actually physically impossible
I noticed that too. But that aside, I would personally love having a mansion to myself in the mountains in a rural area for 6 months, the space, the freedom, the peace. Something about the combination of big house and rural area is something that's ideal to me. I can garentee that I will not lose my sanity staying there. I can only see myself feeling better from it
@@alvexok5523 oh ho ho how about a pandemic extends your stay
+Sunprism Goodness, that is creepy. It's such a liminal void. The Overlook Hotel was so Backrooms before the Backrooms were even a thing.
@@alvexok5523 hence, the "impossible window "
Yeah, and honestly, it was a dumb and pointless move. Nobody picks up on that shit while watching a movie -- not even subconsciously. Kubrick just looooooves being pretentious.
Jack Nicholson's eyebrows deserved an Oscar on their own!
@Batman it grows back
The film is not that bad!!!
King apparently didn't like Nicholson being cast cause he didn't want the guy's descent into madness to be obvious from the start.
Plot Twist: The eyebrows are Jack Nicholson.
Tim Beaton hahahahah SIN
Additional sin: Jack is told he has "always been the caretaker" and that's what he was hired to do, but the only person you ever actually see taking care of the hotel is Wendy.
Yeah, that kinda bugs me.
They could've at least shown something at at least talk about it.
Even in the beginning when everything was still okay he straight up talks about finishing his writing and no mention on maintaining the house at all.
Kubrik's movies are always about imagination, he only shows what is important and let the audience imagine what it really is. Maybe Jack is pissed off cause of that, Wendy's now taking Jack's 'Job', so that's what pissed him off and made him kill his family.
To support your theory is to take the mirror image of "opposition" to be what Stanley Kubrick wants us to psychology see: Before Wendy has a kitchen knife she swings a bat (primitive stereotypical weapon of caveman). She uses the bat to knock Jack out after finding out "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Opposite: All=No , work=play so play=work, "and"="or" like in Boolean logic, no=all, Jack=Wendy, a dull=a sharp (where "a" can't also be a word opposite "not a" but to reference one particular singular Jack and then Wendy person in this case), boy=girl (notice the word makes assumed the border mirror cutoff or equal of left and right mirror images sign) -----> The mirror image now is "No play or all work makes Wendy a sharp girl." Notice the Boolean logic implies Wendy could have played when she wasn't all working. This then shows she moves from stereotypical wife weaponry from bat to knife also as her mind sharpens from all work without having no play. Jack moves from fist to lumberjack or fire axe as a sharp instrument held by a stick like a bat (stereotypical caveman weaponry that similarly native Indians also used) to be used for destruction and combat and death and hunt parallels (as cutting trees does as does fires so fire axe more the weapon). When Jack wants to destroy the family Wendy is sharp in wisdom to flee to the bathroom allowing the son to escape in a plan of luring Jack away from Wendy to maintain "Brady correction order of: When the girls tried to burn down the hotel I corrected them ... When my wife tried to interfere I corrected her also." Notice also the parallel of Grady, a survivor but wife and twin girls destroyed by axe in plan to destroy hotel in fire. The opposite would have "two twins" now an opposite mirror reflection of "one wife" being "two non twins (and adult woman and child boy opposite)" and "one Mr. Holleran (who dies by non-correction means explained later)" with "husband alive killer" now "husband dead killer" opposite mirror word play. Mr. Holloran died? Or was it considered a sacrifice (mirror image of death and life) like the many Indian relics representing Overlook Hotel's symbolism of spiritualism resulting from, as an actual byproduct mirror image to the Rich and Elite's teaching of "White Man's Burden - civilizing the dull or not sharp natives stereotypical to caveman!"
I mean it's kinda obvious why that is so how is it sin-worthy? He's not doing any true caretaking because he's busy losing his mind, and Grady is using the word "caretaker" as something metaphorical and much greater than the face-value definition of the word. He clearly doesn't actually care whether or not Jack does a single thing he was hired to do; he's just a ghost. And that's just an explanation for the story that appears to take place. Once you see the movie for what it is, it's even easier to justify that with the fact that Wendy is a paranoid schizophrenic, as Rob pointed out a couple comments above.
@@lawrencejelsma8118 What kind of drugs are you on and how can I find them?
The entire time Jack goes up the stairs slowly chasing wendy he doesn't blink at all.
It’s confirmed!! He’s a lizard person

@@KilrInstkX lol
Ghosts do not blink
lloyd the bartender barely blinks too! i think kubrick put it in to create another layer of creepiness
To be fair to Dick Hallorann, his arrival and attempt to help might seem worthless but he actually kinda *does* still save the day. Jack was right there with an axe, Wendy cornered with nowhere to go, then Hallorann arrives and diverts Jack’s attention, gives Wendy time to escape.
Also gave them a working snowmobile
Why didn’t Jack just chop up wendy than Dick than Danny
Hallorann was a sacrifice for Wendy & Danny basically.
So Wendy's life was more valuable than his 🤔
@@mariahyohannes This is a really fucking strange way to interpret what I've said. Almost like you're looking to bait someone in to an argument. No thank you.
That ACTUAL sin set in the motion the rest of the movie, and I've never noticed it! "I'd give my soul for a goddamn beer."
His soul is now trapped in the hotel because he wanted booze, and ultimately sold his soul to the hotel just to get it. His addiction resulted in his own demise.
And some people say that the bartender was actually the devil ready to claim his soul after he said it.
@@albertoguerra3995 That's...a very interesting point.
The bartender even says that jack's 'credit is fine', prob cuz he paid with his soul
Ever notice how there are no smoking signs everywhere in the hotel. When the characters start smoking everything starts going wrong.
That was actually the core of Stephen King's novel, addiction. That's one of the reasons that he didn't like this film adaptation, because Kubrick downplayed that aspect of it.
“Come play with us Danny...”
(Daintily) Peer pressure.
😂😂😂
One of my all time favorite movies, like the Spielberg version, too, and so full of sins :) Thank u Cinemasins for the analysis and great execution as always!
What guy wouldnt like be asked that by identical twins
You forgot the sin that bartenders are still upset about to this day. Jack asks Lloyd for bourbon, but Lloyd pours him Jack Daniels, which technically, isn't bourbon.
Interestingly enough in the book. It was Gin
Whiskey all the way.
That's why he says the hair of the dog that bit me,most whiskey songs are of hellish troubles
Yeah but it's funny if you think about it, serving Jack Daniels to Jack, who' sons called Danny
Maybe it is meant to point to the connection between jack and Danny
6:20 I think I can actually provide an answer to this sin. In Stephen King's novel, Jack finds a scrap book about the horrific history of The Overlook which kind of acts as a stepping stone on his path to his insanity. Although not explicitly explained in the film, this book on his desk in Kubrick's adaptation always struck me as that very scrap book described at length in Stephen King's novel, or at very least an homage to the original idea of the scrapbook from the novel
I agree. There was a deleted scene in the film where jack looks through the overlook history book.
The prop used is in a gallery somewhere you can go and see it along with the other props. Except inside it has clippings from news articles around the time they changed the gold standard and not the history of The Overlook. Don’t really know what this detail means or what it was going to be used for but I thought it was interesting.
There doesn't even have to be that kind of explanation for it in the movie. Jack is pretending to write in order to keep up the facade of his sanity, for the sake of Wendy (and the audience, of course). It makes complete sense that he would have research materials on his desk to make it more convincing.
I wish that Hal9000 had refused to give one of the sins and said "I'm sorry, Jeremy, I'm afraid I can't do that."

I like to think that Jack’s wallet was empty in the first bar scene when he wanted a beer and then the second scene he imagined he had money because he’s imagining that he’s in a fully functioning bar with people so part of the delusion is he has money and alcohol
I agree. It's part of his illusion of it being just another 'fun night out' at the Overlook when NO ONE IS THERE!! 👻👻👻👻
Props to Shelly duval. This role took a piece of her 💔
I was so devastated when she was voted "worst actress of all time" like what? This role caused her to get more counciling then she was already having, her hair was falling out due to stress and she was struggling to keep food down during so much of filming
i always thought the "tuesday" stuff was to show REAL cabin fever. We dont know how long its been for them for a while, then all of a sudden ITS TUESDAY! this quarantine taught me that.. just how much the DAY of the week doesnt matter.

I can't even imagine what would anyone would experience when going through 6 months of 0 form of entertainment or pass time
I always thought the ending was obvious. Jack sold his soul for a drink, and now he's bound to the hotel, hell, for eternity.
Sub Zippo I thought it was because of something with the one guy saying jack was always the caretaker
I just love things - endings, in particular - in movies that are open to interpretation.
whoa....
Me too. Thought it was obvious but I'm weird.
Jack’s history of violence is directly tied to alcohol. His most regrettable act of violence was breaking his sons arm while drunk. He never actually gets a drink. The hotel just used what it needed to lead him towards the ultimate violence, murder.
Jack was brought there to fill a role only instead of being the caretaker his role was to continue the vicious murders that feed the hotel it’s evil psychic energy.
The alcohol was merely a symbol of Jack succumbing to his violent urges.
He had sworn off drinking to be a better husband and father. The Hotel starts to wear on him and break down his psyche. Essentially him accepting the “drink” is him giving into the evil in himself and being controlled by the evil energies of the Overlook.
He’s in that photo in the end because the hotel has claimed his soul and residual evil energy for itself. (Which is only in the movie btw. The Overlook burns down in the book)
Danny riding the big wheel has always been one of my favorite scenes ever. Just so satisfying and original.
I’ve looked up what the image at the end meant. Kubrick said that it suggests that it’s a reincarnation of Jack, meaning that Jack’s soul is trapped at the hotel and is eventually dragged back when his soul escapes
I don't see this as a definitive statement. As you said, he says it "suggests" but not that's what it in fact is.
I like how as Jack is talking to Grady about him killing his kids, the more he denies it, the more sinister Jack becomes, then in turn eventually Grady becomes more sinister in the convo, almost as if the hotel is mirroring Jack in a sense.
Rewatch that scene. Jack never looks at Grady. Jack is looking at his reflection in the mirror the entire time he's "talking" to Grady.
The metaphor is every generation in this country has sold out their children's inheritance of a pristine landscape to a trash filled after-party by choosing a more hedonistic lifestyle than the generation before. Each generation blames the other for the inevitable horror show to come.
A misconception is that Jack randomly goes crazy when other caretakers didn't. This isn't about the haunting. The hotel wants Danny because he has The Shining. This story is about the war between the hotel and Danny. Everyone else was just caught in the crossfire.
This reiterated in the sequel.... it was always Danny’s shine the hotel wanted...
This is why Wendy wanted Danny out of the hotel, but Jack and all the other creepy elements inside the hotel didnt allow them to.
There's an interesting theory about how Jack has latent shining abilities that were suppressed on the count of his alcoholism. But since he's been sober theyve been slowly coming back, hence why he and Danny were the only ones to interact with the ghosts until the climactic ending
What about Dick? Doesn't he have the exact same ability? Is it because he's already aware of the danger of the hotel and would be harder to possess?
@@davidgn40 I believe this was also covered in the sequel as they went after the kids, not just because they were more naive but because their shine was pure and stronger so Dick wasn’t a real target bc he knew how to protect himself from the hotel…
A couple of things you've criticized in the video actually make perfect sense:
The shining is hereditary. Dick Halloran mentions this in his conversation with Danny. Jack has it too, but he has repressed it/is unaware of it and his powers are nowhere near as strong as his son's. Whenever a character "shines" in the movie, a high-pitched ringing sound is played. This sound also plays whenever Jack is staring into space. His powers and his fucked-up mental state is why the hotel has such an easy time influencing him. Jack coming across as unhinged during the car ride to the Overlook is not an inconsistency, Kubrick has confirmed in interviews that by the time Jack arrives at the hotel, he is already mentally prepared to annihilate his family. He is an abusive alcoholic, an unsuccessful author, he has a strained relationship with his wife and son and is unable to hold down a job. He pretty much has no redeeming qualities.
This is not really explained in the movie, but in the novel it is mentioned that if a person dies at the hotel, their spirit is absorbed by it. It targets shiners to amplify its paranormal activity by absorbing their powers. Dick Halloran and Danny/Tony are pretty much safe because they understand what the Overlook is and therefore cannot be manipulated by it. Wendy doesn't have the shining so she doesn't see anything strange until the very end. Jack has the shining and is extremely mentally unstable, so he's an easy target. The hotel's main goal is to get him to kill Danny because he is the strongest shiner. The hotel goes bonkers after Halloran's death because his powers were absorbed, increasing the paranormal activity to a point where even Wendy can see it. Jack is in the picture in the end because his spirit has also been absorbed by the Overlook. The reason why none of the other caretakers besides Grady have become homicidal might have been because none of them possessed the shining and therefore couldn't be manipulated.
The real sin goes to the director, for making the actress redo the “Crazy” scene with Jack over & over, until her acting became real 😳
He made them all go a batty. Great director
In _Eyes Wide Shut,_ there's a scene where Nicole Kidman's character looks like she had been up all night crying. She was asked in an interview how she achieved that look, and she said, "By literally staying up all night and crying."
At another point in the movie, Tom Cruise's character has a very believable emotional breakdown. That wasn't acting. Kubrick had made him do the scene so many times that he had an actual emotional breakdown.
Stanley Kubrick never went for half-measures.
A director who knows how to get what he wants

“main character in stephen king story is a writer cliche” FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED
Why are you so full of Misery? It's not like you could Stand By Me on that statement.
Stephen King can verify that he was writing mostly about himself when he wrote this book.
He knows himself better than anyone else
ur dumb as fuck
@@Tkieron He just wants to show off his Dark Half. Maybe IT was just how he is.
In all seriousness, the thing I never really bought into was how quickly Jack went from normal guy to homicidal maniac. Nicholson's performance, as touched on in this vid, was so over the top to begin with that he never seemed like just a normal, healthy everyman.
As evidenced by the "Saw it on the television..." line while driving to the hotel.
He was never a normal guy (at least not in the book). He always had anger management issues (when he broke Dani's arm or when he almost killed an student) even when he was younger (he used to kick dogs from the streets to release his anger). He was also weak, he need alcohol more than anything. Because Jack was already pretty damaged (he had a really bad childhood), it was easy to break him and make him go crazy. The Overlook had break other men, the hotel takes advantage of broken people to make them loose their mind and kill their family, they explain it all in the book (haven't seen the movie yet). Maybe Stanley should have take more time for Jack's development as a character, when he first arrived to the hotel he was doing pretty well!
Stephen King said that he didn't like Jack Nicholson performance in terms that he played a crazy person restricting himself. In his book it is a loving father and husband that descents to craziness. www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-real-reason-stephen-king-despises-the-movie-version-of-the-shining.html/

I caught that too. Sneaky, sneaky CinemaSins.
Okay, but it was actually flavoraid 👌🏻
Since when would a Kool-Aid joke be "sneaky"?
@@josephfisher426 There was a cult in the 70s that drank poisoned Kool-Aid when their leader told them to.
The "Tuesday" mark foreshadows that, in less than a week, everything will go bananas.
Up to this point, the film has been quoting unspecific periods:
- "the interview", suggesting there's been a previous interaction for a job opportunity that is now being brought to completion;
- "closing day", suggesting some time passed between the interview and the Torrances finally moving into the hotel.
That the story turns oddly specific on time periods after the "one month later" mark implies that _someone_ or _something_ is keeping a vague record of what's going to happen, and they're _losing their patience;_ or better yet (as some others have suggested): they're _losing count in exasperation._
One of the funny things about the helicopter establishing shots is how hard it was to not show the gas station and town walking distance from the hotel. I stayed there once, it's really pretty and, kind of unfortunately, really not spooky or scary
The hotel in the opening shot is not actually the hotel they filmed the rest of the movie at, hence the hedge maze continuity errors

Apparently jack Nicholson had gone through fire fighter training and kept obliterating the door with just a few hits to the point that they had to use a whole bunch of doors and get him to purposefully slow down and hit the door wrong. So no one's fault really the Actor was just even more of a legend than is commonly known.
Fun fact: Almost 85% of all horror stories and movies are inspired on things or places in real life, and so is this movie. It is inspired by the Stanley Hotel, wich is currently still open for vacations and ghost tours, complete with hedge maze. And it has free wi-fi!
Really, it seems like one heck of a creepy haunted hotel.
Let's go Scorpio!
Bruh, let's book rooms
You definitely pulled that 85% statistic out of your ass. Anyway, while The Shining was indeed inspired by Stephen King's stay at the Stanley Hotel, it has nothing to do with ghosts. King stayed there right before the hotel closed for the winter and there were no other guests, which creeped him out and gave him the idea for the book. The hotel only tried to sell the "haunted" aspect after the immense popularity of the film. It was never considered haunted before, and obviously ghosts aren't real anyway.
@@amityislandchum I didn't, I think I got it from a youtuber but I'm not entirely sure given that I write this comment a year ago
It’s not haunted at all. There was never a single report of any “hauntings” or supernatural activity there whatsoever until after the movie came out. 🤣 People are just stupid, dramatic and imaginative.
I feel like one sin should be Wendy admitting to the doctor that her husband broke her sons arm, and the doctor doing nothing. Doctors are mandated reporters, she should have called CPS.
I feel like mandated reporting wasn't around in the early 80's but I could be wrong. Although I went to school with kids that were being obviously abused and the school never reported it and it was in that time frame. But whether mandated or not she should have called CPS anyway IMO.
I agree. I always feel uncomfortable for her when she almost giggles at the story.."oh u know just one of those things..he injured Dannys arm"...HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE
He did it by accident, he didn't intentionally hit him, he yanked him out of the way and didn't realise his own strength
There’s actually a very interesting interpretation to this theme of the movie by Rob Ager (Collaterive Learning) that Jack is actually sexually abusing Danny. Under that interpretation the mother is likely in denial
@@ashleyd3329 It's a clearly nervous smile, done on purpose to try to get that doctor to mimic her fake "happiness" over the awful thing that she's relaying instead of becoming angry and concerned

To me, the biggest sin in The Shining was Kubrick’s treatment towards Shelley Duvall. I may respect him as a director, but I will never respect him as a man.
Lol
He attempted to get her to be what he felt was needed for the role. It's a bit wild and I'm not suggesting that it's what naturally should be done, but as a guy who has worked in shipyards and construction most of my life, a rough work environment seems a bit less unforgivable than it might to more sheltered people. Shelly Duvall is remembered for this role. That may count for something.
@@matthewmosier8439 yea so like they said... as a director, for what he did for his art, we understand that the product was a masterpiece. But still, it's not ok to personally attack someone to the point of making them break down and have traumatized them to the point where they never recovered from it. I don't think anyone gives af about being "remembered" when that was the price. It wasn't just a "rough work environment", you're making it sound like what Kubrick did was a "necessary evil" and that Duvall needed it or smth. No, it was emotional and physical torture. He didn't treat her like a human, just smth to use for his goals. Can never be justified.
Nothing excuses his abuse of Duvall! If he popped up today he would’ve had his ass set on fire. In the 80s he’s considered a genius today he’s a toxic sack of shit who’s only claim to fame is the real work of others. (Set builders, musicians, actors etc)
@@matthewmosier8439 wow, you're just an objectively bad person.
"I experienced an abusive workplace. It builds character." yeah, no.
Thanks ya pointed out a few things I didn’t notice… all though 90% of the findings weren’t done by mistake. The film itself is a giant maze still mostly undiscovered.
One of the most mysterious, captivating, & greatest movies of all time!
The Shining success is a complete mystery for me... Stanley since his death seems to be deified where some of his mistakes are considered deliberate. Guys, he's a human, it happens for him too !
Apparently Stephen King didn't want Jack Nicholson cast in the movie because he felt like he didn't have the ability to make the character go from straight and narrow family man to full on crazy.
And he was right. At no point in any film is Jack not full crazy.
The beauty of the Shining is that Nicholson's character already has very human flaws that become magnified to the point of insanity by the effects of isolation. The character arc is beautiful because it is believable with or without believing in "ghosts."
Exactly. The movie doesnt convey the eerie progression of the book.
@@factbeaglesarebest Kubrick's Shining conveys a very eerie progression that is artfully, ingeniously precise. I haven't read King's Shining, but what little I have read from King is wordy, sloppy, disorganized, unfocused, poorly edited stream of consciousness stuff, the literary equivalent of TV or junk food.
@@factbeaglesarebest It is much more believable that Jack's insanity grows out of his normal human flaws. That way it is hard to tell whether he is really going crazy or just experiencing stress until it's too late. Real people are never entirely "straight and narrow."

I don't know if this is a continuity error or intentional but does anyone notice that the map of the maze actually at the entrance of the maze shows it as being pretty small. But then when Jack is approaching the model of the maze it is much bigger. And finally, when we see the overhead shot of the maze with Wendy and Danny walking in the middle the maze, to me at least, looks three times bigger than the model of the maze that Jack is staring at. I've just done a quick cursory count of the different walls of the maze and it seems from the above view that there are many many more rows. I've got to believe this was done for dramatic effect to just show how much more danger Wendy and Danny are in then they know.
Honest opinion here : Stanley Kubrick was a good film-maker, but you guys seem to over-analyze some details, Stanley was a human like we all do !
A few example of what I'm saying :
- in some of his movies, you can see shadows from mics (spartacus I believe)
- in this movie, the music starts too early when danny meets the 2 girls, it would be better if it started a bit later
- still in The Shining, you can hear voices during the movie, but they're so low that a only a few can get them on a first watch (please don't try to convince me it's subliminal, if you can't hear it that's not subliminal)
@@n11ls yeah you are right. Lots of technical errors. But they are mostly visible because so many people watch so many of kubricks movies so many times . But that doesn't excuse the errors
@@cbartal1 that's even harder to say something against Stanley since he died...

One theory I heard says that the pantry is actually the portal to the ghost side of the hotel. The clue is supposedly that, at the start of the movie, they enter the pantry and the door swings one way but when they exit, it swings the other, showing they've entered the mirror dimension.
I just thought they all had the Shining and didn't know it and were seeing things whist panicking
@@rhedded Yo that makes perfect sense!
That was just Stanley Kubrick. He did mind fucks the entire film.
No Danny only zuul
That killed me 😂
Its explained more in the book. Danny's 'Shine' is so powerful, the ghosts somehow become real because of it... it doesn't go into as much detail about the Grady's... but its more or less eluded to being the same or similar cause, that one or more of the Grady's had 'Shine' themselves, which the hotel, which includes the ghosts inhabiting it again could become 'real' and influence the real world. The book also talks about other times, people would see a ghost or something, because a lot of people have a little 'shine' to them, but it wouldn't go much further than seeing the hedge animals move, which would have been a nice addition, if done right, or seeing the ghosts from the corner of their eye...
The chair wasn’t a continuity error, Kubrick did that many times throughout the film to emphasize the idea that they are all going crazy in the hotel.
Or that the hotel was haunted, or both idk
Madison Stephens Like the part at the beginning where Jack meets the hotel manager for his job interview. The manager’s office has a window with an outside view where there couldn’t possibly be an outside view. It’s subtle enough that people don’t know what’s wrong but they sense that something doesn’t quite make sense.
@@daerdevvyl4314 it's the same idea with the corridors during Danny's tricycle ride.

I'd like to think the photo represents jack being just another soul trapped in the overlook.
In Steven kings "rose red" it is stated that the house grows it's power from siphoning it from psychics.
The shine is an incredibly powerful and unstable power source.
The overlook hotel is just another place that is dormant without energy to feed on.
It takes hundreds of normal people to give off the same amount of energy as a handful of psychics, Or even a couple of shiners , Danny and Jack.

Dear CinemaSins!
I have read The Shining just recently, and I have to say Kubrick did a masterpiece of trying to sort out the key moments out of the tangled mess the book is. There are so much material and so many references that the movie should have been 4 hours long. Due to this, you made about 15 errors in your sin tally, as Kubrick simply followed the book to the letter at some moments, while omitting many interim stages, so it seems out of logic, while it actually is quite logical.
For example, at 0:40 you ask who the fuck are the people in Denver? Jack's friend is one of the directors of the board of the hotel, and he recommended Jack for the job. Why did Kubrick omit to mention this? we don't know, but the phrase is perfectly sensible.
at 3:50 you ask why they stocked the freezer full of meat for the winter? THESE WERE THE SUPPLIES FOR THE CARETAKER FAMILY FOR 6 MONTHS, not for the whole hotel. 12 turkeys and 40 chickens won't feed a hotel full of guests for a week, not to say for a month.
at 7:00 you discuss that the hotel should have had lots of caretakers, not just Jack and Grady. WRONG. The hotel was always shut for the winter, which caused it to freeze on the inside and the structural damage had to be repaired each spring, which caused huge expenses. This is the reason they tried to instate a caretaker position - to warm the building up in the winter and do small repairs to minimize the cost of the refurbishing in the spring. They tried with Grady first, and after the slaughter, the hotel was closed for several years. so THERE NEVER WERE WINTER CARETAKERS THERE.
at 8:35 - Jack stopped drinking heavily 3 years ago when he hurt Danny and broke his arm. He was drunk just once, after he lost his job 5 months ago, due to publicly beating the shit out of a cocksusker student, who cut the tires of his car. Jack was fired, got drunk, sobered up and never drank a drop for the next 5 months.
at 10:15 -- Dick had just enough Shine to talk telepathically to someone in the same room. Danny had enough Shine to reach Dick across several states. Compare the cell battery power with a nuclear plant. Could Dick reach Danny back the same way? Definitely not!
As for the reasons for the hotel to be evil and why Grady took some long time to free Jack - Danny's SHINE powers up the hotel and makes its ghosts real. SHINE does not work, while Danny is asleep. Grady appeared only when Danny awoke. It was written in the book and can be deduced from the movie.
at 15:35 the reason for the desire to kill Danny is that the hotel wants Danny to become a ghost here, as then the SHINE will always be on and the hotel will be alive. Grady said that Jack can join the managerial suite of the hotel, should he solve the situation with Danny. Jack wants to be immortal and live in this hotel forever, so his primary goal is to kill Danny now, not Wendy. Wendy is nothing but a nuisance.
A great sin analysis, good sirs, but I have to admit you overreacted quite a lot of times. However, this movie still did not get 180+ sins like some others, so thanks for a job well done, gentlemen!
Bogdan Leshenko - As a die hard Stephen King fan myself, and an even bigger fan of this book, you sir deserve many more likes for this breakdown and correction. I know I’m like 4 months late, but I’m here. And I appreciate you.

@@ivangordy8957 i like the movie better than the book
For fucks sake! How long did it take u to write this?! You are a god!
0:28 - Kubrick sent a second unit team to shoot all of the exterior shots in Colorado. Kubrick was scared of flying so he avoided all shots like that, same is true of the 'Get some' scene in Full Metal Jacket.
Good answer to a good catch
My understanding on why Jack is able to escape the room with the bathtub lady without a scratch and Danny isn’t, is because Danny’s shine makes the things in the hotel more real around him. They feed off of him. That’s why the bathtub lady could hurt Danny but not Jack. Also the hotel is trying to get Jack to kill his family. Physically attacking him probably would not help in that endeavor. I’m referring to the sin at 9:31 in the video
The Shining “twins”, both in the book and the movie the characters weren’t twins but sisters, but they casted identical twins for the roles
They don't look identical to me. I could tell those two apart. One's even slightly taller than the other. Pause the close ups & see what I mean.
@@redlinemando Except Lisa and Louise Burns, the actresses who played the Grady Sisters, are identical twins in real life. They are not twins in the book or the film.
jdcrowe82 god damn “identity twins” aren’t identical in every way you dumb fuck. It just means they developed from a single zygote. Everything after that can change their appearances to be pretty different
Harmony Kapsley NOTHING in a Kubrick film is an accident.
It could have been some sort of "psychic dyad" effect that made them identical after their murder.
WHO KNOWS what Kubrick was thinking? Only Kubrick did.
@@Ocrilat Well that's a questionable point. The dialogue expressly SAYS they were 2 years apart (expressly saying they were "8 and 10, years old" rather than saying "he killed his wife and two little girls," like someone normally would); but they appear to DANNY as identical twins.
It's not like Kubrick would deliberately cast identical twins, after expressly setting them two years apart, without some cinematic purpose.
Kubrick is simply beyond the comprehension of CinemaSins, who call out MISTAKES; but Kubrick inserted these intentionally.
As to the money thing. He didn't have money the first time when he was still sort of connected to reality. When he goes back he is losing his grip and in his fantasy world of course he has cash.
It’s also after he sold his soul and makes him connected to the hotel
But then why was he imagining the bartender in the first place if he was connected to reality?
@@saahilthakkar4593 he was bordering between both... he was still in reality but the hotel was starting to show its hand to him... when he returns to the bar he’s invested in the hotels reality.
@@carmellasofo8337 he sold his soul?
@@brookeweeks7213 Yeah money is no good there.
Everytime i watch this video i imagine that one over dramatic teacher that makes you analyze the movie and when you are talking they interrupt you saying things like "writing redrum in the door is reversing the future murder that was going to happen in that bathroom, his powers made his mom safe"
I grew up in South Florida. The local news loved talking about snow in other states, especially back then. Many who lived there were from the north. They movie even used a real television station (WPLG-10) and their real anchor, Glenn Rinker.
Fun Fact: In the maze scene all of the snow is actually salt.
Rip all the slugs in that scene
not all of it, the one falling from the sky was crushed styrofoam
That’s a lot of salt
That scene was really worth its... *salt*
What a gigantic waste of salt.
"Even for the 80s, that is massively unsafe." The Shining might have been released in 1980, but it's 100% a 70s movie. The 80s hadn't even begun to happen yet.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Like the first year of every decade is exactly like the decade that came before... Damn I hope that made sense lol.
The decade starts at 1 and ends at 0. That's a decade for you.
There is a "cultural attitude" that "bleeds" into the next decade as the decades change over.
It is not like a decade has an on/off switch
The movie took 2 years to shoot, released in 1980 so it means it was shot in 1978-79 then.
11:05 maybe Grady thought it was necessary to tell Jack the truth a few moments later because that’s when he started to sense some potential in him, a slight possibility of being able to make him kill his family.
Either that reasons the lies won't working and being honest with Jack would work better
@@christyshultz6443 yeah he kinda wanted to test him first
This guy (narrator)is such an idiot. Embarrassing
@@ellypelly9296 The Grady in the bathroom who killed his twin girls is Delbert Grady who was never the caretaker of the hotel and the Grady story Jack is told early on in the film is of Charles Grady who killed his 8 and 10 year old girls who was the caretaker. Kubrick used the Charles Grady story as a plot device to ensure Delbert Grady relived his mistakes in a reincarnated form. This is why Jack is in a photo at the end of the film from 1921.....he too is reincarnated.
Funny video! Kubrick himself explained the ending, with the black and white photo of Jack Torrance as caretaker at a party at the Overlook Hotel back in the 1920s signifying he is the reincarnation of the killer caretaker.
"That is entirely too much Kool-Aid..." Somebody didn't grow up in the 70s...
There was NEVER enough Kool-aid! I like the green!
Damn right, I was like Bruh...they have a kid. They probably bought enough to last them a while so they don't have to spend more money every time they take him to the store.
No. There's secret theme with the Kool-Aid thing. It only appears whenever the "shining" power is talked about or when supernatural things happen.
He was making a joke about Jonestown
OK BOOMER
Shelley Duvall grew up in Texas. When she speaks with a twang she's slipping up and using her own accent. As a native Texan myself, I can hear hints of a twang in her pronunciation of vowels throughout the film.
People can have different accents than their region.
I grew up in Ohio, but my younger brother developed a Rastafarian accent because we got a Jamaican housekeeper.
@@SovereignStatesman Oh for sure. But there's no backstory in either the novel or the script indicating Wendy grew up with a housekeeper from Texas or anything like that. And Shelley Duvall's twang (which is pretty authentic) is evident in films other than the Shining.
@@SovereignStatesman Shelley is Texan, no mistaking the authenticity to her twang, Hollywood be damned. Probably a reason Kubrick and his cronies gave her nonstop shit too.
@@231-isntthisalotoffun4 Her parents could have been Texans.
@@joepermenter7228 Yeah like he gave shit to Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove.
Oh wait...
Wendy's parents could have been Texan, it doesn't matter. People pick up different dialects.
The point is that Kubrick only cared about ONE THING:
THE MOVIE. He knew that everything else was temporary, but the MOVIE WAS FOREVER.
He tricked George C. Scott into playing a comedy role in Dr. Strangelove: Scott NEVER KNEW that it was a comedy, until the movie came out! He was FURIOUS, and swore NEVER to work for Kubrick ever again. And then there's Darth Prowse, who Kubrick made carry Pat McGee down flights of stairs in a wheelchair six times, so he'd LOOK furious at Malcom McDowell, because Kubrick knows that's it's similar on film, and he gave Prowse THICK GLASSES for the scene so that you couldn't see his eyes.
So he naturally drove Shelly crazy so that she'd give the right vibe on screen, which is why The Shining was the scariest movie ever.
Second time commenting because i saw my comment from a year ago. This movie gives me the creeps even from just watching the sins video for it. This movie is seriously one of the best movies ever.
I honestly loved this movie
The actors did a awesome job!

Eleanor Hise Weren’t they trapped in the hotel because of the snow? So they couldn’t go to a market and buy food, also if they could go out to a market it wouldn’t be complete isolation from everyone else
Eleanor Hise umm... have you even seen the movie? No. They cannot go to the market and buy food.
@@Jewls2 They COULD go into town, using the snow-cat; but it would take a long time.
They simply had to stay at the hotel to keep everything running, and they had plenty of food to last the winter.
The movie made a big issue of this, with the chef (Scatman Cruthers) telling Shelly Duvall about meals during the winter, and how they could eat a different meal every time, with all the different food they had in the kitchen.
So to think the movie ignored the issue of food, is like missing the issue about lifeboats in "Titanic."
“The people in Denver” Ullman talks about is Jack’s best friend Al Shockley who’s trying to get him a job after he got fired from teaching for beating up one of his students
Yes, someone else explained it! Glad I didn't have to.
Wasn't in the movie therefore it doesn't count
ChiBae it’s still an interesting part of the story that people should know. Later in the movie Jack is wearing a Stovington shirt where he and Al lived so I say if it’s part of the story it is part of the movie

5:50 As the movie goes on, the time stamps get smaller, like a countdown, starting with the interview, jumping a month, then transitioning to specific days of the week, then to times during those days. This is to make the views psychologically feel more claustrophobic because we are aware that there must be something that the countdown is counting-down to.
timberline lodge exterior looks so good in this movie
I was never bothered by the twins actually being two years apart, only because my mom also dressed my sister and I (two years apart) the exact same until we were old enough to voice otherwise.
Exactly... and siblings grow at different speeds.
I've even met siblings (either 1 or 2 years apart) that looked identical. I genuinely thought they were twins! This was all the way back in elementary school, so who knows how they look now if they grew up showing major differences. But it's absolutely possible for siblings to look that similar despite a gap
I have twin nieces who look like they're years apart, because one of them is quite tall and the other is short. People never believe they're actually twins.
No sin removal for the iconic "Here's Johnny!" scene!?!
Nope.
Being topical isn't creative.
5 sins were removed at the start, just assume one was for that.
I can't believe the door's bashed hole changed that much from one shot to the next. That's such a big continuity error that it makes me think those things are on purpose like Jeremy mentions, like it's supposed to be messing with the viewer.
I feel you. Should have taken one off for the blood coming out of the elevator doors too. Such an incredible shot and idea.
Should've also taken a sin off for the shot looking up at Jack in the freezer while he was laughing at Wendy
A SIN on Cinema Sins' Original Sin: At 8:22 Why did you doubt Wendy's fact when Jack is literally disclosing that "3 years ago" remark to a ghost? If anything, JACK is the one lying about the 3 years ago element. He's trying to put distance between his current self and that violent behavior, but we know the truth, that he lies on the verge of a violent mental break. In fact, in a sense, this IS the moment where the mental break occurs. He hasn't knowingly interacted with the spirit of the Overlook until this point.
About them having a lot of food for months w/o any guests at the hotel... I guess it's meant for the Torrance family. They'd be completely isolated bc of the snow for half a year, thus the need for plenty of supplies.
Yeah, I'm continually surprised by how dumb these CinemaSins writers are.
You cleverly disproved your entire theory, with your own keen observation. ‘That’s too much Kool Aid for anyone’s who’s not a cult’ You were ‘Kubricked!’ “Why no minute clinic?’ … Same thing! Wendy’s Not a good mother, for she is too weak. Go pick on Coppola, Spielberg, Scorsese or even Alfred Hitchcock, but be very very wary when you second guess Stanley Kubrick! Thanks for your insightful videos!
Could've also [un]-sinned Kubrick for the Guiness Book Record for most number of re-takes of that iconic stair scene. I mean congrats, but it also led to a nervous breakdown for actress Duvall... Her hair fell out & everything! That's also why that scene is so emotionally powerful, Duvall really WAS at her wits end!
Just a stair scene. Nothing iconic about it.
@@michael65 nah
Yeah, I think Duvall went mental after this movie. Kubricks idea of 'get the actor upset and you will get more out of them' direction technique was too much for this movie. Kubrick is my favorite director, but he fuc'd with Shelley unecessarily IMO, she had a tough role!!!!
'It has to be real!' -Kubrick
Kubrick was a terrible person.
Actually, it's simple. Jack Nicholson's character is in the picture because he's now one of the ghosts haunting the hotel.
Jack Torrance is actually the reincarnation of the man in that picture, which is why he tells Wendy he feels like he's been in the hotel before and that he loves it there, knows the bartender and one of the servants in the movie. The hotel has the power to bring in reincarnations of the past souls to kill their families
@Scott Doty Um yes
@Scott Doty yeah go ahead and say that to everyone else who thinks otherwise. Fuck off trying to talk shit behind a screen
@Scott Doty Here's a video of Kubrick saying it's reincarnation: ruclips.net/video/px7Lq68Yvvw/видео.html. Stop trying to argue with people above your skill level and do some research.
@Scott Doty what is your problem?! They just gave another interpretation to the movie which btw make much more sense.
I believe the reason he contradicts himself in the bathroom, is because it is Jack working on the story in his head, and working out the details

"Ah, it appears the day is Cottonelle. Thank you dearly for giving me the date, RUclips Algorithm."

Fun fact, in the book Stuart only hires Jack because Jack's friend who owned a large share in the hotel recommended him. Stuart doesn't actually like Jack.
A sin on the sin. The reason there is so much food in the freezer is because there will be a family of three staying there for months,
during the winter in a location known for getting snowed in.
It's not like they can jump in the family Beetle and go to the corner store when there's 10 feet of snow outside

Jack Torrence is a teacher; he was supposed to be homeschooling him.
*was a teacher
He was an English Lit teacher who taught at the high-school/college level. Also, in the book, Danny _was_ being taught the basics of math and English at the hotel.
In the book,
Jack Torrance was an English literature teacher in Stovington before he was fired for giving one of his students a concussion.
At the Overlook, Danny was being taught to read and write because (i) He was interested in reading the signs Tony kept showing him and (ii) His dad promised him that if he could do the worksheets/reading, he would help him put together the toy VW.
I enjoyed your explanation! It was hilarious!!
However, I am not convinced, only entertained by your explanation.
Kubrick's classic is one of the greatest movies ever made.
No one could forget it once they've seen it.
Some don't like to be affected as Kubrick's movie affects everyone who sees it, but once seen, it is forever etched in your mind.
What modern film has done this???
I only watch your videos to get the the end where you make audio cross overs with other movies. Thats the funny stuff.
