"The Shining" what you see in the mirror

The Shining is my favorite horror movie and Kubrick movie. It's atmosphere is still scary to me even after the many times I have watched it. When I saw it in theaters, I got very fixated on the televisions and the mirrors and I just wanted to get my thought out there. Have a great day.

If Wendy had really locked Jack in the fridge, he would not have got out.

The Shining has to be one of the most layered films out there. There's just so much to unravel that you get lost... in a maze... of theories and thoughts, great video.

[@LavenderRex7705]

Thank you Comporio

One of the best interpretations of this movie. Wendy’s known about Jack all along but like many people trying to hold a family together, sweeps it under the rug for another day until bam ! It hits her in the face. The Shining is one of those movies that gets under your skin, at least mine. Unforgettable.

It has an underlying horror that never fails to get to me even on rewatches.

An entire subplot filmed but cut from the final movie (I have only ever seen one picture confirming it was filmed, but it has been mentioned in several books) involves Wendy seeing the ghost of Grady's wife in mirrors. She thinks it's a threat but comes to realize the ghost is warning her.

[@LavenderRex7705]

Wow! I never knew about that cut subplot but that works perfectly with what the mirror does throughout the film! Thank you for sharing this info!

Jack’s occasionally glancing at the camera breaks the 4th wall but in a creepy way.
As if, he can see us…….

[@LavenderRex7705]

It’s like the foundation of the film itself is falling apart like the hotel under the snow

[@derkeheath5172]

It's also another way to connect the viewer to Jack. Kubrick wanted us to root for Jack, and feel disturbed by that, which is also why Wendy is portrayed as sniveling and annoying and Danny is so uncharismatic. It prevents us from connecting to them and feeling their pain. Audiences literally laugh when Jack is threatening to murder her! A feminist who watched the movie with me and an audience was HIGHLY disturbed by that - to the point of almost crying.

I am a big fan of the movie and all the layers in it so I consume all I can on TH-cam videos and your interpretation is very similar to mine
I would love to see more material on this movie but nevertheless, you have a new subscriber today 🙂

[@LavenderRex7705]

Glad you enjoyed this video! There is so much to talk about with The Shining.

it's not "normalization" of domestic violence.
Jack only hurt his son once when he drank.
So he quit drinking.
later he talks that his wife reminds him "every day"
which means- he still feel guilty.
who is he talking?? a bartender?? He's talking to himself...
He will later have some alcohol, and like the poisoned apple, He will fall again into that violence...
He had nightmares before about killing them. (he was scared and terrified)
which means evil is inside us, and he was fighting against that evil, but when he drank, it came out.
the movie is focused on Jack.
because Stanley wants you (everyone) to focus on your own evil.
We all can relate to Jack many times.
when you're working on something and they interrupt you, you're pissed off...
ofc you don't over react because you supress that anger. but what would happen if you don't?? Jack showed us.
"I am working!!! 😠"
how do you feel when doing the same thing over and over again?? frustrated and pissed off too... (going to work the same from 9 to 5 every day)
that's why he wrote that in his notebook... he feels all that frustration and angry and he's trying to handle it.
again, it's for us. Stanley wants us to look in the mirror.
it's not about pointing out "look, that's the bad guy" like if evil it's outside... no, it's not outside its inside and they feed it all the time with news, etc.
the point of Jack being the main character is to feel empathy with Jack, and look all the evil that lives within us...
there's a lot of Carl Jung's theorys on this movie.
Jack is not "the bad guy"
he is coping with all this guilt, frustration and anger...
one message of the movie is to make us look at those feelings and situations.
at the same time, that makes it scary, because we all can relate to Jack.
if he was some stranger doing crazy stuff with no reason or justification, it wouldn't be scary, cause you can not relate to that.
this is similar to Michael Douglas "Falling Down" movie...
what if... you don't supress all the things going on inside you??
the goal is to find all that anget, frustration, guilt, monotony and solve it... from the inside... easy to say but hard to do

Dick Hallorann : ... I think a lot of things happened in this particular hotel over the years... and not all of them was good.
Davos ski resort is place where powerful meet. Aspen Colorado where powerful stays forever and ever :)

[@carlostejada1479]

I saw another analysis some time ago..
they said, that all the horror part of the film is the book Jack is writting.
and the explanation was so convincent.
what things are part of reality and which ones are part of his book. So Jack imagine all that.
that was his plan. writting a horror story

What's your take on the two Grady's in the film? We are told there was a caretaker named Charles Grady who had two daughters, 8 and 10. We then have Danny rencounter two identical twin girls. We are never told Grady had twins. The girls Danny sees aren't 8 and 10 year old sisters. In the bathroom, Jack meets Delbert Grady. Not Charles. Delbert. Why the two Grady's? Who are the twin girls?

[@LavenderRex7705]

I think the two Grady’s are good at showing the violent cycle of the Overlook Hotel. It shows that it has been repeating for a long time. Who the twins are I am not too sure but they are definitely victims of an atrocity that took place at the hotel.
