My mom just met Shelley Duvall at a gas station around her home town in Texas a couple months ago. My mom saw her in her car packed with stuff as if she was living out of her car. She didn't recognize her at first and gave her $20. Once she recognized her, Shelley Duvall asked if my mom wanted her money back and she declined. I really feel for this woman. She was so great as Olive Oyl in the live action Popeye movie with Robin Williams. The shit she's had to go through just breaks my heart.
Unfortunately, since making of The Shining, Shelley has had major psychological issues. Kubrick treated her very badly, even urging everyone on set to do the same, which constantly left her on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Kubrick went too far and Shelley ended up temporarily in a psychiatric hospital.
Dasha comments.
Danny "This kid scares me."
The twins "They seem friendly."
This is why I keep coming back to this channel. Makes my day better
DASHA "This Kid Scares Me" ... ...
ME "Wait till DAD starts to spin out ... ... "
Dasha "He's such an asshole"
Me "That's a softball ... just wait"
"Did he like them?". lol
Lol. I didn't notice that she did that. That's epic. She does have a way about her doesn't she?
She does. It's what makes reaction videos fun
@@jakealanmoviereviews5933 her personality just takes reactions to a new level.
"Here's Johnny..." was from a iconic late night talk show "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. Johnny's sidekick , Ed McMahon, would introduce him onto stage by saying, "Here's Johnny..."

As well, Jack is a nickname for John, in the novel, Wendy calls him John Torrance at a certain point
@@nsasupporter7557 she’s young and foreign
@@nsasupporter7557 C'mon dude. Would you get ANY reference to a Russian celebrity? There are millions of young people in America who wouldn't get that reference these days. Try being less judgmental.
@@nsasupporter7557 Kubrick himself didn't get the Tonight Show reference as he lived in England.
To be fair, in 2022 the line is more popularly associated with The Shining than it is with The Tonight Show.
"you ah, married man, are ya?" Is such brilliant acting... am I wrong folks??? I could listen to Dasha roll R's all day long!!! Oh yeah, Dasha is ruthless, hit him a few more times... Dasha's hardcore!!!
I LOVE that line and it's delivery.
"And then you corrected yourself?"
"Just tell him you love it. The best book ever. Could read it forever you know."
Too funny.
“Heeeeere's Johnny!" Is a reference to The Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson, who was the host of The Tonight Show on NBC from 1962 to 1992, and was always introduced in each episode by his co-host, Ed McMahon, saying, “And now.... heeeeeeeere's Johnny!"
The Tonight show was a national institution. There wasn't much else to watch late night on television in those days.
@@auerstadt06 True. There eventually was Late Night with David Letterman which began in 1981(my God, has it been that long?), but on other networks there was just The CBS Late Movie, CBS Late Night, ABC News Nightline, and NBC Saturday Night Live, along with local programming that would be mostly late movies.
It's funny that the quote is now more associated with this film than with its original usage.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks True.
Carson was such an institution that the other networks didn't bother with late-night shows of their own until after he retired.
The director made them do countless takes of the staircase scene. It left the wife drained and the husband frustrated and that’s apparent but created one of the best horror scenes ever. Great reaction.
128 takes to be exact.
"Oh, that was a very hard hit. But, I think it would be better to hit him again." I was dying!! LOLLLL
The Shining is a masterpiece of filmmaking. As you noticed, it's scary even during scenes when nothing is happening. Some of it is the cinematography, and some of it is the sound. Stanley Kubrick really knew how to manipulate the audience.
Edit: "Here's Johnny" is a reference to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It was a late night talk show that was on every weekday for almost 30 years. The announcer would always introduce him at the start of the show with the words, "Heeeerrrrrre's Johnny!" Everyone in the U.S. at the time knew about this, but since Johnny Carson left the show in 1992, younger people don't get the reference.
Wendy Carlos is the genius behind the musical score for The Shining. It's her incredible synthesizer work that makes even aerial shots of beautiful landscapes feel ominous and forboding.
You have to see the film “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest”. In my opinion Jack Nicholson’s best ever performance. In fact all the actors are great in the film.
I think Five Easy Pieces has Jack's all time career best performance, but Cuckoo's Nest is high on the list. His streak in the 70s was phenomenal. It's easy to see how he went from b-movie character actor to one of the biggest movie stars in the world, in just a few years. From The Last Detail to Chinatown, he was delivering some of the best performances of his career in the 70s.
Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors, He is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time, He is one of only three male actors to win three Academy Awards, and one of only two actors to be nominated for an Academy Award for acting in films made in every decade from the 1960s to the 2000s. His 12 Academy Award nominations make Nicholson the most nominated male actor in the Academy's history, I can't think of any movie he's done that I don't like. I always enjoy your reactions Dasha and always amazes me how quick you are
"That's when you take your job way too seriously." LOL that's a great way to describe these overlook spirits (and Jack).
The Overlook Hotel in the book is inspired by The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado where Stephen King stayed on vacation. He heard about the supposedly haunted guestroom and its history and that inspired him to write The Shining. In the movie, Kubrick shot the daylight exteriors at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon. The interiors were on a sound stage in England and modeled after the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Park in California. The two lodges do not line up architecturally and so that adds to the uneasiness of the Overlook.
Very ineteresting
I stayed there a few years back. I recommend the the haunted tours. 👌 many underground tunnels were built for service staff. It is now a tour as well. Beautiful place that still looks as it does in the movie.
@@nsasupporter7557 Many younger people have no idea who Johnny Carson was. Since she is originally from Russia, she really wouldn't know The Tonight Show history since it's a U.S. program. I can understand why she wouldn't understand the quote.
@@nsasupporter7557 I have no idea her actual age. She has said she no longer lives in Russia. I'm glad for that, especially with all the crap going on in the world.
@@nsasupporter7557 👍
"Just tell him you love it. It's the best book ever."
Love your survival instincts Dasha! And the dark hair looks great on you.
To find out who Tony really is, please watch Doctor Sleep.
Seconded. Doctor Sleep is worth the watch
She just has to ask me if she wants to know who Tony really is.
no please, doctor sleep is dogshit. It has zero horror, characters are shallow af. it was just unnecessary violence against kids.
RIP Joe Turkel aka Lloyd the bartender. July 15 1927- June 27th 2022
"Naked ladies in bathtubs,....bartenders who don't take money for drinks"....Ya gotta just Love Dasha. 😊
Jack Nicholson is one of the truly great actors. Whatever character he plays, he kind of BECOMES the character.
Anthony Hopkins is another actor like that. There are others, of course, but the list is not long.
It's wonderful to see a Russian opinion on this film. Judging by the reaction here, this movie, 'The Shining,' continues to deliver long after its creator/director intended it to be such a phenomenon!
As someone from Colorado, I love seeing people react to this movie. Growing up, kids used to say this movie was filmed at the Stanley Hotel. But the hotel, which is claimed to be haunted, just inspired Stephen King to write the book after he stayed there. The Hotel itself is very beautiful as well, in a small mountain town here in Colorado known as Estes Park. Great reaction as always, thank you.
Very pricey to stay there, but the haunted tours are amazing. Next time I visit, I'll stay at the cheaper place down the road, and just do the tours. Lol nice to see another person from Colorado here.
The TV mini-series version WAS filmed at the Stanley hotel, but, well, the less said about that version, the better.
I remember going to Karate Camp in Estes Park as a kid
Also Dumb and Dumber was filmed at The Stanley Hotel
“Here’s Johnny!” was a reference to Johnny Carson. He was the original host of The Tonight Show back in the 70s and 80s. At the start of every show, the announcer (Ed McMahon) would say, “Heeeeere’s Johnny!”
The Stephen King novel was fantastic and Stanley Kubrick made an American masterpiece (eventhough Stephen King didn't like it). Your reaction was exceptional and just what Kubrick was hoping for from us, the audience. Jack Nicholson was terrific, as usual. If you like him in this you should try some of his other classics: "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" & "Chinatown" come to mind, although there are many others. If you like Stanley Kubrick you should try "A Clockwork Orange" & "2001: A Space Odyssey" to start.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" and "Full Metal Jacket" are absolute masterpieces.
Stephen didn't like it because it did not match the book. This movie was Stanley Kubricks apology for helping fake the moon landings. Every scene has a symbolic throwback to his 1969 production. Cheers
@@dswp4882 Also the movie "Wag The Dog" seems to be the government's apology for killing Kubrick.
@@dswp4882 PLEASE DONT BREED
@@dswp4882 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Twit
You're the 1st person I've ever seen whose immediate first reaction to the twins wasn't being creeped out, but "they seem friendly!" And "Did he like them?" was the icing on the cake.
This is why I watch. It's good to see fresh reactions.
Also enjoyed how you copied Grady's rolled R in "corrected"
“No, I’m not scared of Room 237. But you have no business in Room 237, so STAY OUT.”
One of the scariest set-ups I’ve ever seen
Another great reaction from Dasha. You know, Dasha if you ever want to get out of a maze, use your right hand and keep touching the wall, never let go and keep walking. Turn every corner and walk out every dead end, it may take some time but eventually you will get out.
Johnny Carson was the host of the Tonight Show from 1962-1992. Ed McMahon, the announcer and side-kick, would introduce him with a drawn-out "And now, ladies and gentlemen, Herrrrrre's Johnny!!!!" In the novel, the original line was "Boo!"
Steven King said The Shining was about a time his kid ruined many days of his writing and he felt at that moment that he wanted to kill him because he was so angry. Of course it was only an instant and he didn't touch his son but it really terrified him for that thought to flash through his head and so when he went back to work he had to write some kind of haunted house ghost book so he wrote the Shining.
"Johnny" is Johnny Carson, an American comedian famous for the long-running The Tonight Show. During the intro Ed McMahon, who was Johnny's sidekick and foil for Johnny's gags would announce Johnny's nightly monologue with the phrase: And Heeeeeeeere's Johnny!
1:10 , 9:30 ... It's because of the soundtrack. The theme playing is based on an ancient Gregorian Chant called Dies Irae (Latin). It's used in a great many soundtracks throughout cinematic history and is always useful to this effect. The fact that you reacted directly to it is proof... That's also why you are a great reactor; you catch the details 😎👌
Also, please watch 1408. It's about a hotel room ... 😏
"Here's Johnny" was a famous saying from a late night talk show. Johnny Carson.
26:45 "Here's Johnny!" is a play on a very popular American talk show of the time called "The Late Show Starring Johnny Carson". Johnny Carson would be introduced to the crowd each episode with his co-host saying the words "Here's Johnny!"
It was almost like the first meme Jack saying that! Johnny "Here's Johnny" Carson was such a big cultural thing for so many TV watchers in 1970s being one of biggest shows ever. Without the internet more people shared the same experiences. It was kinda modern and strange for Jack to make an ironic pop culture reference in the midst of a horror scene. Sure skip forward a generation people talked like that but it really was crazy in that era and memorable.
Your cute little dog picked up on your stress and came over to comfort you. What a great dog! 😊❤️🐶👍👏
"it better to hit him few more times" LOLOL I love Dasha!
I love this movie. Stanley Kubrick was one of the best directors ever. His movies "Full Metal Jacket" "A Clockwork Orange" "2001: A Space Odyssey" are all classics.
As are The Killing and Paths of Glory.
Scatman Crothers who plays the groundskeeper was the voice of one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, Hong Kong Phooey

"Here's Johnny!" is a reference to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, a late night talk show that aired from 1962 to 1992 in the US. The phrase was said at the beginning of every show by Johnny's sidekick Ed McMahon. After the phrase was said, Johnny would step out onto the stage from behind the curtain.
In the book and movie they call the place the Overlook Hotel but Stephen King got the inspiration for this movie while staying in the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. In this movie, some of the exterior shots of the hotel is actually the Timberline Lodge which is up on Mount Hood in Oregon which I recognized from the times that I've been there.
26:50 Johnny Carson is the longest running host of The Tonight Show (1962-1992) and was one of the most famous people in the U.S. at the time. They used to introduce him when he would come out for the show by saying "Here's Johnny!". So this was just a common reference at the time.
I live in Boulder, and Stephen King lived here in the 70’s. He also based part of the novel (and film adaptation) The Stand in Boulder. My father’s band played a gig at the Stanley Hotel… and he didn’t come home! Until the next morning, he stayed there overnight, no ghosts, no problems. Beautiful place!
Fun fact, the hotel manager is played by the late Barry Nelson. Nelson was the first James Bond, in an adaptation of "Casino Royale" in 1954 for an episode of the anthology series CLIMAX!.
Ullman is just casually like "Yup, the guy killed his family."
Johnny Carson was the host of the Tonight Show from 1962-1992. "Here's Johnny!" was a catch phrase.
Jack Nicholson is one of the Greatest actors of all time. He has won Academy Awards.
One of the methods that was used in the acting of this film is that the actors almost never blink.
Jack's performance is rightly lauded, but I think Shelley Duvall deserves more credit...
It's HER terror that really sells this film.
Great reaction Dasha, as ever. More Kubrick films please!
Shelley Duvall’s performance was great but honestly I recommend reading up on the back story of her performance because it’ll tell you what the director instructed the people on set to do to her. It was brutal and psychological torture for her.
Yeah her's and Jack's performances are like two sides of the same coin. They couldn't work without each other. I hate to see people malign her performance.
Your dog was trying to comfort you, cause it could see you were upset by the ending. Great reaction!
Poor Shelly Duvall. For those who don't know, she never really was the same after this movie.
Kubrick instructed the cast and crew to socially isolate from her in-between filming, made her endure 127 takes of the baseball bat scene, and otherwise kept her out the loop regarding production. The "Here's Johnny!" scene, she knew Nicholson was going to break down the door, but not with an axe.
Kubrick was a great director, but even a greater piece of shit.
He did 50 takes of Scatman Crothers crossing the road. Given that Scatman was 68 years old, you might want to take it easy on him. But noooo…
"she never really was the same after this movie." You know her personally?
@@auerstadt06 You don't need to know her personally to read what happened. She was mentally fucked up for the rest of her life.
All of this is urban legend. And even some of the lies are mixed up here.
-Scatman had to do the kitchen scene with Danny 127 times. Why? Because Scatman came to set without learning his lines.
-The bat scene was shot a lot of times, around 100, but that was over three weeks of shooting time. If they worked 7-days a week, that's less than 5 takes per day. She was never 'out of the loop' regarding production...she made suggestions, gave her opinion, and watched every take just after shooting it to give her input. Also, being filmed is an actors job. What's the problem with a large number of takes?
-At one point Kubrick did tell the crew to ignore her. She complained that she caught her hair on the window frame in the bathroom set, and pulled out 'hunks of hair'. She lied...and told Kubrick lying like that 'helps her'. He told them to ignore her complaint so they didn't try and fix the non-existent problem with the window.
-Shelly knew what was going to happen with the axe, how do you think they would have rehearsed the scene otherwise? Or the multiple takes? That just doesn't make sense.
These are all unsubstantiated lies about a person who is dead, and so can't defend himself. Watch the behind the scenes documentary and you can see all the claims fade away.

@@Jessica_Roth Scatman had no scene in the film where he crosses any road.
In the book, Tony is Danny’s middle name. It’s how his shine presents itself. His young mind can relate better to it in this way. It’s not really an imaginary friend. It’s like intuition.
Great reaction. Have watched this many times and still feel the tension build all the way thru it. The last photo, remember, Grady told him he had ALWAYS been the caretaker. And now he is.
"Here's Johnny!" is a quote from an old TV show called "Johnny Carson Show". The character's name is Jack however John is the same name as Jack. Jack and John can be used interchangeably in English.
This movie along with The Exorcist, Pet Cemetery and The Omen are the cornerstones of horror movies. This movie is so amazing, the hotel itself is a character and it is what enhances Danny's ability. Also in the book Jack Torrence also shines, the movie doesn't really goes into it but at least we se the scenes in the ballroom and the one where the hotel opens up the door for him. I highly recommend the documentary Room 237. Its a great behind the scene look at the movie plus it goes over several theories and meanings behind certain things, all very interesting stuff.
Thanks for the nod to Room 237. Always interested in 'making of' documentaries.
The trick to get out of EVERY maze is to follow along ONE wall _(doesn't matter if it's the one to your right or to your left - just be consistent)._
No matter how many turns and corners the maze may have - simply follow one wall and you'll get out eventually.
This is the first time I've ever seen anyone get scared by someone taking a piece of paper out of a typewriter. Guess that shows the sort of scary atmosphere Kubrick created with this movie.
Great reaction as always.
I remember hearing that the "Heeeerrrreeee's Johnny!" part was kind of ad-libbed by Jack Nicholson. In case you don't get the reference, it refers to legendary late night talk show host Johnny Carson. That was more or less the way he was introduced when he hosted the Tonight Show for 30 years.
One of the iconic Horror films. You dont really get the full understanding of the movie until the last scene with the picture of Jack at the hotel in July 4 1921. He was the re=incarnated hotel caretaker. The demon Grady possessed him again.
the way they were shooting danny riding around on his big wheel (and many other shots as well) was the steadicam. the camera was attached to a harness that the camera operator wore, and moved with them, though without any shaking or blurriness. (before to achieve movement you had to put a camera on a large and cumbersome dolly, which would have been impossible for many of the shots in the shining, or shoot handheld, which was rarely used in big-time film production because of its supposedly amateurish look.) it was a fairly new technology at the time, and the shining was one of the first films to make extensive use of it, though now it's just a standard film technique you'll see constantly.
I read the book long before I saw the movie. The book took you into Jack's mind and I thought they could never make a movie about it. But they did it very effectively. Thank you for the reminder.
It’s dated, but “Here’s Johnny” is a reference to a late night TV show, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. When he’s introduced, the announcer goes “Heeerrrreeessss Johnny”.
the sequel to this film is "doctor sleep" with Erwan mc Gregor who plays Dany. It allows you to learn more about the shining and is also worth seeing even if it does not have the aura of this masterpiece.
Personally I liked the sequel but it bombed big time in theaters. Interestingly, Stephen King HATED Kubrick's version of "The Shining" and it has become a classic in the horror genre, while he LOVED "Doctor Sleep" and it bombed. Ewan McGregor is excellent in everything he does, and the supporting cast was pretty good too. I say everyone who likes Kubrick's "The Shining" should watch "Doctor Sleep" at least once to see how it sits with them. I never read _The Shining_ nor _Doctor Sleep_ so maybe that's why I liked it.
The director tormented Shelly Duvall(Wendy) during filming because he wanted her to be highly emotional and he even instructed the crew to never console her when she was upset, she said in a recent interview that she had days where she cried for 24 hours. People think making this movie triggered her mental health issues that caused her to walk away from her successful movie career and she now lives in poverty. They were also made to film scenes over and over like the stair scene that was filmed 125 times.
Conspiracy theorists believe that there are a lot of clues in this movie that prove that Kubrick helped the U.S government fake the moon landing, people believe Kubrick directed it and that things like Danny’s Apollo 11 sweater were clues that it’s true. There is a documentary on RUclips that points out everything in this movie that are clues Kubrick put in.
The here’s Johnny line is a reference to an old late night talk show that was hosted by Johnny Carson, at the start of the show the announcer would say and here’s Johnny.
Jack Nicholson became so unsettling in this movie. And poor Shelley Duvall was pretty much emotionally tortured throughout the filming of the movie, which did ultimately result in a great and terrified performce, but still rough stuff they put her through.
Good ol’ method acting.
Waaaaa. Time for everyone to cry & act emo 👍 the poor millionaire girl with wealthy af family had to make a movie 😥
@@ChrisTopher-ek6rr - That's as ignorant a statement as you need to make...
Have you seen any of the recent(ish) interviews she's done? She's absolutely barmy.
@@ChrisTopher-ek6rr You seem like a cool kid.
"Here's Johnny!" was how a famous entertainer (Johnny Carson) was introduced on his show each night for many, many years.
Thank you for an intelligent, natural and entertaining reaction to this fave of mine. The Lady in the Bathtub.....in the 1920s there was a beautiful Silent film actress who stayed at the Overlook. She ended up living out her life there. When she got old, her Boytoy/Companion left her for a younger woman. The elderly movie Star drowned herself in her own bathtub, in room 237.....and wasn't discovered for awhile..... Both nude women are the same person
"Wendy I'm home" is my favorite line!
The “Here’s Johnny!” is the introduction of Johnny Carson, who at the time was the host of “The Tonight Show”. Hope that helps, Dasha. 😉
P.S. That tongue roll you do with the R’s is almost as sexy as you are.
There was a talk show called the Johnny Carson show. He would be introduced with "Here's Johnny."
Jack is also a nickname for John or Johnny.
Fun fact, "John" is the English version of the name Ivan.
1. Joe Turkel/Lloyd plays Tyrell in the original Bladerunner (Hint Hint)
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 as this one. He has recently taken all the bad things he said about this back.
5. Nichelson and Scatman worked together before in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
6. Shelly Duvall said making this movie was the worst experience in her life. She was harassed on and off screen.
7. GOOF: They would have made more than enough money to keep the roads open if they had it open for skiing.
8. The real villain is the hotel itself.
9. If you like Stephen King the adaptation hole is very deep. A good place to start is "Misery" with Oscar winning Cathy Bates as the over the top Wack job.
10. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends well be cleared up.
8:54 "Oh. Honestly, you know what? I'm scared of mazes so much. But I would probably go, too."
Mazes _can_ be overwhelming, but a lot _less_ so if you've got a method. I mean a _map's_ handy, but failing that, you can make due with just a method.
Just make it a point, with every junction you come to, to take the right-most option. Turn right if you have the _option_ to turn right. If you _have_ no such option, then go straight. If you have no such option, _then,_ and _only_ then, turn left.
_Or,_ make it a point, with every junction, to take the _left-most_ option. Turn left if you have the _option_ to turn left. If you _don't_ have such an option, then go straight. If you have no such option to do _that,_ _then,_ and _only_ then, turn right.
You've got to _pick_ one, though. You've got to pick _one_ of these and _stick_ with it, all the way from entrance to exit to make sure you don't go in circles.
The road the car was driving up in the beginning is called Going-To-The-Sun Road and it's in Montana. It's only open for about 2 months a year because it's buried in snow otherwise.
The "Here's Johnny!" was used during opening of The Tonight Show when Johnny Carson was the host. If I'm not mistaken, Jack Nicholson ad-libbed this line.
Dasha- As usual your post made my day. Thank you so much.
The "Heeeere's Johnny" is a reference to "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson", which was a popular late night variety show that was on American TV for decades. "Heeeeere's Johnny" is how his sidekick, Ed McMahon would introduce him. Everybody in America was familiar with this phrase and that is why it was in the movie. Young people and foreigners reacting to this film never get this iconic reference. I guess you had to be there.
LOVE the new hair!
Dont forget this was a time of no internet, no video games, nothing, it is so different to todays access to media, i remember this time
the Hotel is Possessing Jack, thats why he is changing, he sold his soul for a drink, then sex, then violence, its the hotels influence
My favorite horror movie of all time. Yes, even the opening scene of the car driving through the magnificent Rocky Mountains is ominous. Your mocking of Torrence's attempt to con Wendy into letting him out of the pantry is funny, too...😆
Probably the most frightening/paranormal movie ever made! Nicholson and the entire cast was off the charts! And Stanley Kubrick....THE MASTER....PERIOD!!
There is a tip of the hat to this movie in, of all movies, the first Toy Story. The pattern of the carpet in Syd's house is the same as the carpet pattern in the Overlook Hotel.
I love the fact that the actor who played Danny didn't even know he was in a horror movie. Even though we see him in horrible scenes, it didn't feel like it during filming and the whole time the director and crew acted as if they were filming an adventure suspense movie. The various bloody or tense scenes were filmed without any child actors (including the little girls - they were only in the scene where they stand in the hallway, the lying bodies were dummies).
The weirdest thing about this movie is the lengths Kubrick went to to keep Danny Lloyd from having any adverse psychological problems due to filming this movie while at the same time doing everything possible to guarantee that Shelley Duvall had adverse psychological problems due to filming this movie.
You're loving these psychological thrillers...first Full Metal Jacket now the Shining! Wow! 🤣🤣🤣
Another great reaction , Your hair darker is really cool. This is the first time noticing that your reaction here is your determined and defiant hands on hips when Jack is threatening Wendy, it so powerful no messing with you. Can't think of another reaction where I've seen this.🤔
really terrifying movie, but Jack mockingly saying "as soon as possible?!" always cracks me up
"Here's Johnny" was a famous catch fraze from a famous America TV show, The tonight show with Johnny Carson. It's how he was introduced for every show.
Jack Nicholson's character is insane the moment he walks into the hotel for the interview
"Here's Johnny" refers to a famous American Late night TV talk show host (Johnny Carson)... when they introduced him at the start of each show they announcer would say... "Here's Johnnyyyyyyyy!". Only people from the US that were alive and watching late night in the 70's and 80's will likely know this.
Here's Johnny was a reference to a famous American Talk Show Host named Johnny Carson His show would open up with an announcer saying "here's Johnny!"
Another Stanley Kubrick classic movie is " A Clockwork Orange".
Great reaction Dasha! I like your hair, it looks really good. The Here's Johnny was a reference to an old late night talk show The Late Show, they said that every episode when Johnny Carson came out onto the stage. You can feel safe watching horror movies at home now that you have Hugo to keep you safe, he even came up to protect you a couple times. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing what you have planned for next week.
Dasha, I'm so glad you reacted to this. I think this is my first time commenting on your channel. This movie, no kidding, is my all-time favorite movie. About 273 times, I'm starting to lose count. lol But it is so nice to see new people watch this and react to it...
And yes, your hair looks stunning as well.
Hello Dasha the line "Here's Johnny" is a reference to Johnny Carson he was a host in his show called The Tonight Show and this line was ranked in the list of the American Film Institute (AFI) 100 Years....100 Movie Quotes. Thank you for reacting this masterpiece The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring by Jack Nicholson. And don't forget reacts the sequel Doctor Sleep👍👍👍👍
Dasha comments @22:50ish: "Love this book. Could read it forever." too funny... too cute!
Steven King usually takes a motif and runs with it with a strange fantastic element. This book / movie is just a simple examination of an abusive parent / spouse. Everything Jack does is what abusive partners do. They trap you, they try to get you to stop communicating with others, they hurt you, and they try to kill you.
They never take responsibility for hurting those they hurt, like Jack denied being frankly insane throughout most of the story, driving his wife to terror, and hurting his kid when the kid was a baby and threw his papers around, as babies do.
11:14 Oh, Jack Nicholson was the _perfect_ choice to play this character.
One thing I've never been able to figure out is why the waiter that bumps into Jack that ends up being the former caretaker who chopped up his family is named Delbert Grady, but the guy that interviewed Jack at the beginning of the movie said the caretaker's name was Charles Grady. Late name change in the script perhaps?
I took Delbert to be a creation of the hotel itself. A form used by the hotel to speak with Jack. Notice how often Delbert says "we" instead of "I." Like he is speaking on behalf of the entire hotel.
@@88wildcat But even Jack says that he chopped his family into little pieces and eventually he admitted that this was him. Seems weird to have a name change like that. I'll bet it was a script change that was missed by the continuity person, or something like that.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere I could buy it if the film wasn't directed by Kubrick. How does someone as meticulous as he was miss that?
I was at a ski area, very late at night and there was this sort of hallway outside. On one side was a solid row of trees forming a sort of hedge. On the other side was a wall. It had been snowing all day but it had stopped snowing but it was very very cold. Close to zero or a bit below F and it was a little bit foggy.
This section was lit by ground lights, and it looked just like the hedge maze when Danny was trying to escape his father.
It was extremely scary.
29:35 "July 4 Ball, 1921. No sh!t."
Remember, he's _always_ been the _caretaker._ _Always._
Heerree's Johny! Great reaction, Dasha! You should watch the sequel Doctor Sleep. It explains how the shining works a little better. Ewan Mcgregor stars in it.
Love your reactions, Dasha. You are the first reactor I've seen do this who realized Redrum was murder backwards before it was revealed in the mirror. You got it right away. I'm also impressed that you got the Three Little Pigs reference as well. It didn't occur to me that you might know that story moving from your homeland. When I was a kid, there was a late night TV talk show (The Tonight Show) hosted by comedian Johnny Carson. The announcer would introduce Johnny Carson by saying that line.... "heeeeeerrrrrssss Johnny!". This is where that saying comes from.
Also, a movie came out just a few years ago called Dr. Sleep. It is the sequel to this and in it Danny is a grown man.
Love your reactions, Dasha. You pick up on so many things that people miss and your commentary is so deep and impressive. You make me laugh so hard, but you also make me really contemplate things I'd never noticed in these movies or even considered. You really are a wonderful person. I can't wait for what you watch next.
26:44 He's referencing Johnny Carson, a late night talk show host who started his show with that phrase.
Jack wasn't crazy. He was open to being possessed due to his background and past events in his life. He already had a darkness inside him for the evil in the Hotel to attach to and eventually posses him. Danny's abilities also helped fuel the Evil in the Hotel, without Danny it might not have happened.
Ya one of my favorite horror films. Kubrick is a master of cinema. His earlier Dr. Strangelove is really bizarre. Another great one is Clockwork Orange as well. There are many film analyses of this film, which will just show you HOW great it is beyond the first look at the movie. It has Easter Eggs every where in the film and weird sex symbols, indian symbols and film symbols throughout the film that ties it together perfectly.
