      @@MarkD864 lot of conjecture in what you're writing there.. the dead sea scrolls prove wrong a lot of what you were saying about translations. and there's really no reason to think that the apostles weren't able to learn and write in different languages within decades of christ's death. just the historical significance of the bible alone is bigger than pretty much any other literary work, and we have more proof (yes historical proof) for the existence and death and yes, even the resurrection of a man named Jesus Christ. but we can quibble all day over little details like that.. people like me who believe in the bible, believe it was inspired by God, and that there's incredible truth there to save us from our own sin and death. The REAL power comes not from the words on a page in a book but from the power behind them. the power to know and have a relationship with the one and only God of the universe (which, whether any of us think so or not, we desperately need). The only TRUE freedom is freedom from sin through the grace of Jesus Christ, and i hope one day you and anyone else who is reading this find it. because God's love is overwhelming and WILL change your life in ways you can't imagine.

    The freedom Danny had to run around unsupervised used to be a lot more normal. Previous generations of kids would get on their bikes and disappear for hours, exploring the woods, getting into trouble. You could let Danny run around an empty hotel all day and not worry about him.
    Don't judge Wendy and Jack back then based on what we do now. We don't let kids have the same freedom now because everything's a lot less safe. It's not any one thing, it just seems there are more people in more places who are more prone to be crazy and violent.

    The “Caretaker” (in my opinion), is a wandering evil spirit that possesses every seasonal caretaker and drives them to insanity and murder. As each one dies, they become a permanent ghost in the hotel, and end up in a photo. It may not be the correct answer, but it’s a theory that satisfies all the facts.

    The reason Jack was so affected by the hotel was because of his underlying anger issues and his alcoholism. The hotel basically messed with him to the point where he was willing to drink again, then manifested the alcohol, knowing it would make him violent. This was much more apparent in the novel where Jack saw more things messing with him, like a wasp's nest that came back to life in Danny's room and hedge animals that changed their position whenever you looked away.

    The most important thing to understand is that the hotel is truly haunted. It was the driving force behind Jack's descent into madness, and his "soul" was absorbed by the hotel when he died, thus his appearance in the old picture.
    Unfortunately, Jack Nicholson played Jack creepy and kinda scary right from the beginning, so a lot of the pathos around his descent was lost. Jack was a good husband and loving father who, yes, lost his temper once, and was trying to make up for his mistake. The hotel took it all away from him.

    • @PurushaDesa
      @PurushaDesa Год назад +1

      I disagree with that interpretation as it's way too sympathetic toward Jack. Jack and the hotel belong together. It's clear he was a bad spirit right from the start (which is made even clearer in the longer American version) and it's the inevitability of it all that builds the suspense. In truth he was exactly the kind of person the hotel was yearning for. Look how happy he is in that picture. He's right at home. Or to put it another way, he's "always been the caretaker."

    Kubrick used cross-dissolves for subliminal effect because in many of those if you pause the image in a certain moment you'll see something in the double image. Also he edited the film to the preexisting music to keep the metric rhythm precise. It's all subliminal nessaging. Like a dreamscape that no one will ever quite figure out.

"HEEEEEER'E'S JOHNNY". one of the most iconic phrases of that era. hence the reason it was said by jack in the axe/door chopping scene. simply a nod to that phrase... super sarcastic, of course.. just adding to crazy that is that scene..

    This movie had a lot of production problems:
    Shelley Duvall lost most of her hair due to the stressful takes she had to do, 127 to be precise, as it involved her swinging the bat at Jack Nicholson.
    Nicholson slept on the set between scenes.
    Duvall and Kubrick would frequently argue on how the scenes should be filmed.
    Scatman Crothers, whom played Dick Halloran in the movie, broke down crying after Kubrick filmed his scene in the kitchen 88 times and asked "What do you want from me, Mr. Kubrick!?"
    A fire broke out near the set where they were filming The Empire Strikes Back.
    The hedge maze scene was the most brutal and difficult as most of the crew would get lost inside the maze.
    Stephen King hated the movie, as it removed subplots that were in the novel, and vowed that Kubrick will never make another film based on his books.

      I kind of agree with King on this one even though I liked the movie. It missed the entire point of Jack's character arc. Nicholson is great, but he comes across as creepy and borderline insane right from the start which entirely defeats the idea of him gradually being drug down into madness by the influence of the haunted hotel. It also misses out completely on Jack's final redemption from the book, which I would say was one of the main points, if not the main point, of the whole story.

    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. His main beef was Jack's decline into madness happened too soon and Wendy wasn't such a patsy in the book.
    5. He has since come around to appreciate this.
    6. TUESDAY🤣
    7. Shelly Duvall said making this movie was the worst experience in her life. She was harassed on and off screen.
    8. Nichelson and Scatman worked together on "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest".
    9. The real villain is the hotel itself.
    10. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends well be cleared up.

    Great reaction! 😃
    I've always enjoyed 'The Shining', movie and novel both, though there was some contention (to say the least!😅) between King & Kubrick 😄
    They (the novel and film) are quite different in some respects, yet the psychological horror aspect is great in both 😊
    Also, Great ‘someone picking-apart-violin impression’ there😉😊🥰

    Great reaction! I think this movie is more artistic in nature than anything. It really doesn't make complete sense however you try to look at it. There is a string of ideas all put together such as Indian burial ground, telekinesis, spousal abuse, and cabin fever. The director is trying to weave all of these elements into the same story and I believe they say that the author of the book didn't like what they did with the movie either.

      Check out EyeScream and CollativeLearning to get the possible backstory and how all the pieces of the movie were linked. Nothing was left to chance or unplanned. Kubrik, like Tarantino, is meticulous when it comes to dressing sets.

      The Amityville Horror scared me back in the late 70s while reading about Jodie and him being outside the window. The movie, not so much. The only book that ever scared me, though The Shining came close. However, I didn't read the Exorcist. I heard that is scarier than The Shining or TAH.

    It's the music and the incomplete story that sets this apart. Most horror films end with an explanation, almost like a Scooby-Doo episode. This one ends with hints, but still a lot of questions. Most horror also is filled with violent events. In this story, almost nothing happens. There's a lot of space. But it gives your mind time to wander ....

    I wonder if Jack is the reincarnation of the man in the picture on the wall. I also wonder if Jack can also "Shine" but he doesn't know it. That's why the hotel goes after him as it does as well as Danny. Wendy didn't see anything until the hotel revealed things to her. I don't know, Kubrick was so brilliant in visual and cryptic storytelling. A master at psychological thrillers / Horror.

  • @cherylsims5636
    @cherylsims5636 Год назад

    You really dont figure out the movie until you look at the picture on the wall, showing Jack at the ball in 1921. So he was basically re-incarnated. It doesnt tell you how many times between 1921 and 1970. Grady then came involved in the time prior to Jack returning. The bathroom scene where Grady tells him you have always been the caretaker, sort of explains that. The site is on an indian burial site, so it's cursed and the spirits keep going after whoever is left alone there. If you read the book then listen to the Directos interview explains it better.
