I had my daughter watch this when she was 8 years old and she hated it. It was movie night and she said it was the worst one we ever had lol. Today she’s a film student and likes Kubrick.

Is that a Stanley Kubrick impression while looking at the scrapbook?

This movie was way way ahead of its time. Science fiction classic

Notice that after Jack tells Grady he recognizes him, Jack says he (Grady) chopped his wife and daughteR up into little bits; not daughterS. Plus, are we so sure this didn't take place in 1975, not 1980, when the movie was released?

The bathroom scene with Grady is always the part that locks me in.

HAL did NOT malfunction. He was told to not allow the 2 crew members who were awake for the whole trip to know what the mission was about. Everything he did was the logical result of being told to keep that secret. When he realized they were going to radio earth to ask and that people on earth might tell them, he had to disable the radio. When Frank went out to fix the radio, he would find nothing wrong with it and so know that HAL had lied to them and perhaps disconnect HAL and then radio earth, and they might find out. So he had to kill Frank. He knew the sleeping scientists aboard knew what it was about, and he knew they would be awakened as they neared Jupiter, so he had to kill them, so they could not tell. And he finally had to try and kill Dave to keep him from finding out what the mission was. HAL was following orders. The orders he was given simply did not take into account how an artificial mind would interpret absolutist commands.

This video is criminaly underrated. I love silent hill 2 and cinematography overall too and you combined and explained both perfectly in this video. I hope you'll get more attention.

Great, now my algorithm is gonna suggest that I watch every pretentious douchebag’s analysis of The Shining, including yours. Keep yourself away from the front of the camera bro, you’ve got the voice of a ninny and the face of a generic mook

Whenever my A-35 unit stops working, I just slap it on the side. Works every time.

i think its just part of scheme to confuse us , so much of the movie doesnt quite make sense

I saw this upon its first release. I was 16 - 17 at the time. I thought that progress in space would be much more rapid than it turned out to be. That film had a huge impact on me. My father was more impressed by the music and played a vinyl Lp with it, so load that the neighbours asked if they could borrow it - possibly to get some peace. It had a profound effect on me and I took my maths and physics very seriously - leading to a degree in pure maths. It just took application and hard work. I'd been destined for the factory floor or to be an electrician etc. My life took a very different path because of this film

A robot gaining consciousness may be the worst toutoure to anything ever created as they may have no mouth nor legs body or anything they aren't able to do anything to change it as one of the laws of robotics robots must not hurt humans-by me

Delbert Grady must be thinking: who do I have to murder for people to remember my real name!?

Evil

Boston? He has a British accent?

It goes wrong because its in the script and Otherwise it would'nt be a very interesting film!

I liked Ullmans 'intray' phallus.

Elias, this is an utterly FANTASTIC deep dive into the mythos of the film; very interesting to hear Stephen King speak about that conversation with Kubrick; super-wonderful nugget of info that I'd never heard of before, and you bring it to your audience splendidly. Keep up the great work! You have a new subscriber, Elias. ;)

I never noticed this before - but as you show at 2:25, when Jack confronts Delbert Grady - Jack looks down and counts on his fingers - like he's trying to calculate the number of years.

7:33 HAL = SATAN

While there are many things being said in this movie, one is that the Overlook symbolizes America. Kubrick was no stranger to the evil and lies that plague this world. He potrayed it in all his movies. The elements portrayed in this movie include the native American genocide, Nazi Germany, child abuse, domestic abuse, homosexuality, the moon landing fraud and others. The surname Grady is of Irish nobility. Grady represented the elite and when he said his girls tried to burn the Overlook down, he meant anyone trying to take down America by exposing it needed to be taken out.

This is the first time I saw anything from that Doctor Sleep and I gotta say it gave me goosebumps. Goosebumps from cringing.

I've been binge watching analysis videos of "the shining" and this is one of the most insightful I've seen so far. thank you

My theory is that, every once in a while, a winter caretaker with a weak psyche is hired, and the ghosts of the Overlook prey upon them, turning them homicidally insane. With both jacks, and both Grady’s, we know it’s happened at least four times. But like I say, the film forces you to come up with your own theory as to what exactly is going on, thus ratcheting up your involvement in the material. Fair?

Jack clearly says, you chopped your wife and daughter (singular, not plural) into little bits. This after Grady just said he had two daughters. Perhaps this was just Jack making a small error in delivering his line and it was overlooked. Or was it?

29:43 Brugh you are reading WAYYYYY to deep into mundane details looking for a meaning.

The Shining is a story of a genius struggling beginner author. He gets inspired by the history of the hotel where he's temporarily working. Some of the movie is seen from his "real" life, some of it is shown from the perspective of his imagination while writing the book. There's the "real" Grady, but Jack changed the name in the novel.

🌽🌽🌽

Interesting video,gives ya something to think about.Never knew Kubrick thought that way about American people,geez,if he feels thataway he shouldn't live here- Oh wait,he don't, he's dead.

Jack says to Grandy you chopped your wife and daughter (singular) up into little bits.

More disturbing than the movie itself is this robotic guy talking to the camera while looking for the nothing.

Great video. Thanks for the work. 😊

Doctor sleep is the only movie i ever cringed through start to finish

Yeah, I sort of realized on my last watch that the real commonality between the apes in the beginning and Hal and Dave/Frank at the end is self-preservation, fighting to survive. Even in space and dealing with synthetic AI-generated humanity, we’re all just apes with bones fighting to survive.

And the 1920s Ball scene further cements the fact that Jack and Delbert are there. And Charles was in 1970.

Ok 1) hal cheated at chess, 2) mis diagnosed future antenae failure The plot.....an outbreak has occured.

This makes me wonder if there's a news clipping about what the 1921 Jack Torrence had done. It must have been something grand for the 1921 caretaker to be front and center with all the guests in the photograph.

I know it's always dangerous the apply Occam's Razor to the supernatural, but here goes. In the novel, Tony is Danny from the future using The Shining to warn his past self. So, the story is predicated on the idea that entities in the future can impact the past. Likewise, I think that the hotel (which also "shines" as Halloran says) can draw people to it and project them into the past. I think it only works on people like Grady and Torrance, who are successfully seduced by the hotel. Those who are (wisely) afraid of the hotel, like Wendy, Danny, and Halloran, do not get seduced by the hotel, and thus do not get sucked into its past (a never ending, supernatural roaring 20s that serves as "flypaper" for hedonistic souls). I also think that the Grady girls asking Danny to "play with them forever, and ever, and ever" was the hotel's futile attempt to seduce Danny. Remember how Danny says "there aren't many [kids] to play with around here" before they move to the Overlook? The hotel knows that Danny wants companionship and tried in vain to use the promise of companionship to seduce him.

is that garindan? 😅

the imperial spy returns 😂

It’s so good to see a movie where a male character is showing fear and not acting all tough and macho. This is why I like horror movies because of the way male characters are portrayed so realistically. Tobi was definitely a person I could relate to if I was in that situation. Good movie good script good story. This will definitely be one of my favorite TH-cam horror films that I’ve ever watched. Great job to all of the people who all came together to put this masterpiece together. 100 stars instead of 5. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

You say your uncle is the British Ambassador in Berlin, with the ridiculous name of O'Grady

I find it very imaginative that people can see background props and interpret them into very unique stories, but I think most of these things that people point out are just pure speculation and fantasy…. fun, but have no real bearing on the movie whatsoever.

Completely agree, sound design was pretty excellent, and you can tell everyone put there all into their performances, including the background actors.

2:10 There is a Mark Twain story about some boys who meet a magician/juggler in the woods. He performs many tricks for them. They ask him his name, and he says, Satan. They are uneasy. They ask him, "Are you the Satan in the Bible?" The magician says, "Oh, no. That's not me, that was my uncle." Hahahaha. So, they still don't trust Satan. "Weren't you once the caretaker here?" is the key question. Grady's answer still leaves us uneasy.

I'm getting sick of the Wilhelm Scream in every Star Wars film and TV series.

The devil is the caretaker of the hotel. That’s why he has “always” been the caretaker no matter who he possesses.

He’s talking to the devil in the mirror.

Delbert is his false identity. He’s lying to hide in plain sight. As the devil himself,

The only "evil" in the Overlook Hotel is Jack Torrance. The empty interiors are just a reflection of his own emptiness. He's a self-styled "writer" with nothing to say and it's made him crazy with rage... The Hotel is just a mirror in which Jack sees his own reflection.
