i found one little detail.... When Danny rides past room 237 you clearly see that the room across has its door wide open. Danny doesn't notice and I haven't heard anyone discuss this scene. Great job . Cheers
0:06 Kubrick in the clouds. Go up from the volume icon on the player. You will see a blue triangle with the left side straight up. That is SK's hair. He is looking at the mountain at the end of the road. His face is below the triangle. Eyes, nose, mustache, beard. Put your thumb over the area to the left of the triangle and slide it down a bit, his face will pop out. Note: I think maybe the Kubrick head is a reference to "Giant Victor" in the movie Head, which starred the Monkees. Jack Nicholson was involved with writing that movie and has a small part in it. In that movie, the Monkees were trapped in a box from which they kept trying to escape, but they kept winding up back in the box. Victor looked down at them and laughed. I think he tried to stamp on them, too.
wow you freakin' did it, you found something new 😯😂👏 I really like this idea and it got me started on my ridiculous theory that Wendy is actually the one with the job at the overlook with her son and Jack is just a malicious spirit that she became convinced is her husband. (she's the only one who actually works around the hotel and interacts with the outside world and in the end, it's only her and her son that leave) Since Jack is the unreliable narrator all the beginning scenes are just dream sequences meant to throw us off 😶🌫 This is probably very easy to prove wrong but since we were "theorizing" about the coffee machine I figured why not 🤣
The “point” of the Shining, is that after watching it, you will never watch or look at things the same way. In all sense of the word it makes you shine
Kubrick didn't really analyze his movies too much, but I think he said that the ghosts let Jack out. That meant the ghosts were real in some sense, not just in the heads of the residents.
Ive always subscribed to the Mr Hippo way of thinking from FNAF: Sometimes a story is just a story. "-whatever it might mean I honestly don’t know. Or, maybe it doesn’t mean anything at all. Maybe it doesn’t mean anything at all.”
Hello, this is changing every moment that we saw this movie again and again and again. The last up date "for me" is that most brillant mind praised and revered just like kubrick NIKOLA TESLA end his last 10 years of his life in the ROOM 3327 of the iconic New Yorker Hotel. And maybe, just maybe this movie its in memoriam of that man. Nothing the tricicle movment of young promising Dany. The element in the tale that is the typewritter, the machines...and obviously the R A D I O. Tesla was the father of the radiofrecuencie and the comunications.
No doubt, "The Shinning" was a well crafted film. I believe Kubrick anticipated a lot of ambiguity in a lot of well placed "Easter Eggs," so the interested viewers could draw their own interpretation of the film. This makes for a more exciting film versus being spoon-fed plot and symbolism placed in it.
Good spot. The picture above Jacks bed sits well with the “Two Jacks” theory. Are the opening credits Jack laying in bed looking for inspiration for his book?
I think people love nostalgia. Especially for things like this. Squeezing water out of a rock… The Nintendo 64 - the game system all its components and its entire library have all been made and finished, and they never really hooked it up to the Internet, so there is nothing left, but we will scour and search and Make our long videos because we want to find the untapped secrets .
Read So Cruel a Knowledge by Michel Foucault. After all these years, I got a whole new perspective on this film. Kubrick, that sly fox, is still 6 steps ahead.
This obsession with The Shining is both hilarious and kind of sad. I personally don't think it's all that great. It has moments but they add up to nothing that we've come to expect from a Kubrick film. I've seen the film many times over the decades, either in whole or parts. I admire it more on a technical level rather than an effective horror movie. Does anyone really find this at all scary? David Cronenberg stated that Kubrick didn't "understand the genre." I've tried to find some elaboration on this thought from Cronenberg but haven't found anything. I understand what he means. Kubrick tried to overintellectualize a genre that can only bear so much before being crushed under the weight of its own pretensions. My primary problem is with the casting of Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. Although Duvall is a fine character actor and has played many impressive roles throughout her career, Nicholson, on the other hand, tends to play a variation of the same character in film after film. Here he's dialed up to 11 and he's at maximum ham, however we can only blame Kubrick for this. He's not a director who strives for realism when it comes to an actor's performance and they tend to be very hyperrealistic. It usually works within their cinematic universe, but in The Shining there's this strange disparity between Nicholson and Duvall and the rest of the cast, who are playing their roles more straightforward, whereas the two main actors are rather cartoonishly over the top. I cautiously agree with Stephen King when he had reservations about Nicholson and stated that he looked crazy from the moment he's on screen and there's no slow descent into the madness brought on by the Overlook hotel. I don't understand why Kubrick decided it was a good thing to have these two actors behave this way. But as far as these "interpretations" of what the film is "realky" about I just laugh. When the "documentary" Room 237 played at the theatre where I worked morbid curiosity got the better of me and I watched it. At several points I was really struggling to keep watching and not bolt towards the exit. These are some very sad people who should destroy every copy of The Shining they own and go outside. Too bad Kubrick was not around to comment on these theories. I don't what he'd make of them. Maybe he'd laugh at the theories.
there is a moment where Jack is walking and the 7 Pink Diamonds (from 2001:Space Odyssey) appear behind or on Jack's back while walking, i was sitting 3 feet from my TV or and watch the movie frequently or else i would not have noticed... also, Kubrick died 666 days before January 1st, 2001: A Space Odyssey...
In Eyes Wide Shut, there is an eye on the back of Tom Cruise when he comes home at night and walks down a hall. Somebody on Twitter pointed it out. I think the diamond = cops in 2001.
Great 👍 analysis. Something new at least I can’t find anything about it elsewhere is during the opening scene put your phone on rotate lock then turn it to the side. It appears to be a 🚀 launch then Kubrick’s camera 🎥 takes us to a giant “A” with what appears to be a person in it. Then a couple frames after that it appears to be JFK in the clouds. Kubrick’s face is earlier in the credits but I’ve heard no one mention JFK. Also the meat 🍖 freezer appears to be human bodies upon closer inspection
This is just an interpretation and not a thoughtful interpretation... The story begins with the entrance to the great lake of the collective subconscious in which that hotel is a notorious island and once in bed that lake envelops them and sinks them.
Analyze why Kubrick cast actors that couldn't possibly play King's characters. I remember when the movie came out. We hated it because it had very little in common with a novel almost everyone in the country had read. I still hate it. Nicholson's Jack Torrance is not sympathetic at all. He's a smart ass from the very beginning. King's Torrance is a flawed character who had made some serious mistakes. But he truly wants to rebuild his life and be a good husband and father. Duvall's Wendy has no spine. I feel really bad for what Kubrick put her through to produce a character that is so much weaker than King's Wendy. The kid was just boring. The only sympathetic character is Dick Hallorann, and Kubrick made a mess of his storyline. We watch him struggle to get back to the Overlook from FL, and he's murdered as soon as he sets foot in the hotel. That felt like we had wasted time watching his attempts to return. In King's novel, he is one of the three surviving characters.
Your video is 13 minutes and 23 seconds long. We all know that 13 and 23 have great significance in numerology. But most important is that 13 is Death in a tarot deck. The Shining has an overarching theme of Death. But the major arcana stops at 21 which is two away from 23, so my theory must be wrong. Wait, the number 2 represents duality and The Shining has a heavy theme of duality, like with the twins. And really with The Fool at 0 there are 22 major arcana cards: 2 twos. You intentionally made your video 13 minutes and 23 seconds, didn't you. =) But in all seriousness, good video. I think you found something at least worth looking at and considering. It's better than some thoughts I've heard.
If the actual plot of the book was followed, there would be zero questions and everyone would understand what The Shining is. This movie is just a stripped down version of the story that had characters of the same name in a similar location. 🤮🤮🤮
I always thought it was a dog costume from seeing the movie in 1980. I never read the book, beyond the first chapter or so. When I got online, I didn't know why everyone was calling it a bear.
@watermelonlalala I once saw a Theory Channel try to say that the "Child falling into bucket" warning in the background of a shot was somehow also a bear and I had to break it to him that it was in fact a child. I sent him links to the warnings on other buckets compared to the one in the movie (identical) and he still insisted it was a bear or "supposed to resemble a bear". The bear theory is so stupid 😂
@@josh.8104 I have always thought when Jack is sitting in Ullman's office, the photo on the wall behind him, whatever it really was, looked like a cartoon wolf face on the right side. Hence, a subliminal message that Jack has a wolf nature. I just found out the photo is one from the wall at the end of the movie. It shows the jet set people sitting around a white tablecloth. This does not ruin my theory! It still looks like a wolf face in the office scene.

Omg i thought this video has at least 100k views. Great content bro 🙏❤️
Thank you! It's people like you who and comments like these that will get this to 100k :)
It really isn't though. Coffee can be bad for alcoholics. Or good. GROUND BREAKING.
You've gotta submit this to Jacksfilms' shoutout list
I was thinking about it... and this comment convinced me to!
i found one little detail....

Great job . Cheers
I have never noticed it, but I think Rob Agar has mentioned that one of the other doors in the hall is open.
@@watermelonlalala He did.
Maybe the one detail that has not been analyzed yet is the friends we made along the way

Amazing concept for a video, good job. As a wacko Shining theorist I'm totally all for this.
This is indeed better than Kubrick in the clouds.
Very good video! Now I want to go and try to analyse some random details in The Shining
The “point” of the Shining, is that after watching it, you will never watch or look at things the same way. In all sense of the word it makes you shine

I love that your background includes mirrors and doors! Nice detail! 😂

Friday the 13th 8 is my favorite. Love that song, Darkest side of the Night.

The Shining is about an ancient civilization and Ancient Aliens say yes!
Good job 🎉
This had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah man they burnt the piss out of these theories with this movie. Kubrick probably didn’t have any intention with this🤣🤣
