Look at Wendy's cigarette ash and her nervous reaction to the doctor's questions, until she convinces the doctor (or herself) that it was just an accident. Also, Danny and Holla fan's hands when eating ice cream - when their emotional state is awful guarded, they pull them in close like a shield for protection.

The rubber duckie placement is very subtle. Yellow signifies danger as in ‘Irresponsible quack.” Kubrick also changed the VW Beetle yellow, smashed under a semi truck-again, danger! The wardrobe resembling Road Runner, the Coyote and Goofy, an excellent observation made. Wendy resembling Goofy down to the height, thinness and dark hair is brilliant and something I overlooked over the years. I’d like to mention also that Danny has an “Emergency” TV show lunchbox on his dresser depicting a precarious scenario. 🔥Thank you for the break down.

Very good.

Since Kubrick took so many liberties with the book, esp. the ending, I've always had difficulty accepting his version as a classic. Yes, it is intensely scary, but I tend to be a purest in translation from book to screen. P.S. I was reading this the night of the January 1978 Midwest (Ohio and Northern Kentucky) Blizzard. It was so scary I save the last forty pages for daylight. By the way, my student housing apartment was plowed under and I could not move my car for over two weeks. I had to walk to classes and work in 15" of snow.

Ullman holds his hands like a kangaroo's hands during the interview. Look, the kangaroo is hiding its baby in its belly. So Ullman actually hid from Jack that there had once been a brutal murder in that hotel. Ullman would never have told Jack about it, so Jack would have agreed to stay there for the winter.

Very fun video! I dont believe a lot of it to be purposely planned by stanley kubrick, but very fun!

nah..because his sweater means the moon landing😂😂😂😂 i loathe youtube detectives that loaf professionally

The whole movie is just vibes. It shows just a few brief movements of violence and horror but you’re completely unnerved from the beginning. I think the abstract feeling of terror is why so many people see so many different things in this movie.

@2:20 Those are the wrinkles in the skeleton's slacks which are very prominent because of the extreme lighting, and as it's a skeleton, there's a lot of excess fabric making the wrinkles more prominent themselves. I think you may have thought you're seeing hands because hands are very expressive, like the face, and humans have something called pareidolia, were we tend to see faces (or other meaningful images) in objects or patterns.

Colorado Kelly I also recommend to you two YT videos of research titled "OVERLOOKED" by the channel Thurthstream Media (Mel & Aaron Dykes). Thank you for this connection about 42 and the yellow beetle.

I goy here for the Trailer "A CLOCKWORK SHINING", documentary by dir. Ryder Lee (YT: Raised By Giants). Coming soon in Prime Video,

Early 80s everyone had some kool-aid. But I believe it represents the world they feed Danny.

People know what all this is about.

Kubrick shows overlooked things in his films. Not obvious things that become obvious

Great video, Kelly. The scene with Ullman's hands in the interview is definitely NOT normal. It almost feels like that whole thing was a ceremony initiating Jack as the new caretaker. Each of those hand signals means something. There is a part where is is talking about Grady killing his family and Ullman has a thumbs up sign that he constantly covers and waves over with the other hand. Very strange. It did always surprise me how Jack had no emotional change or reaction at all regarding the Grady Murder story.

I've not noticed the hands on the skeleton before. I believe there's two version of the film, one with the skeletons and one without, or at least there are differences. And you know with the hands of the guy in the interview. Reminds me of a dog, and there's a dog costume (it's NOT a bear) during the film. I reckon he's in the costume.

I always wondered about the red hand on the lady Butt. Thanks for the vídeo Kelly

This poem is amazing!

*✨️🎭SO MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE MOVIE SINCE IT WAS FIRST RELEASED, I THINK ITS SUPER CREEPIER THAT THERES TONS OF GHOSTS THERE THAT HE CANT USUALLY PERCEIVE,ALSO WHATS HAPPENING TO HIM THAT SUDDENLT HE PERCEIVES THEIR WORLD? BRAIN DAMAGE? DEMON POSSESSION?💟HAPPY HOLIDAYS ROCKNROLL 12-05th-24🌲*

Wow! When I found this, your video, I happened to have had- and still do- 42 friends on my Facebook. Why, the nighttime right before today, I glanced on my digital clock in my bedroom: 2:37 AM. I've already read King's The Shining twice, years ago. I really like your presentation... Am I on a roll here, or what? Oh, my!

Interesting, narration is painful though 😬😬😬

Perhaps the missing Dopey on the bathroom door the second time it is shot means something too.

My mom would feed me anything at whatever time. It's easy to make a sandwich.

Thank you

Hi Kelly, thank you for your video I found it really interesting. I particularly liked your mathematical associations and also your belief that these associations could be correct or incorrect. Or then, that some could be deliberate and some could be accidental, I personally think that both are true and I almost think that the accidental ones are also deliberate. Because Kubrick was so particular about the atmosphere he wanted to create and was so interested in subliminal images in advertising and other media, it makes sense that we have the inclusion of a number of ‘sums’ that don’t always make sense. We could possibly be aware of the repetition of the number 42 subliminally just as a device to make us uneasy, without any reason for that specific number.He may or may not have had reasons behind that number however it’s repetition in images and patterns may subconsciously make the viewer see a pattern that they can’t resolve on a subconscious level. That in itself would make a viewer uneasy I feel. With the theories about the holocaust and that ‘42’ it would certainly add an extra level, but I wonder if he used a ‘32’ and repeated patterns of 32 that we subconsciously registered but couldn’t resolve they’d still make us unsettled. Who knows. One thing I think you hit upon is your past and why this film hits home, I don’t think enough people cover this or think in that way. In my mind the most important thing about the film is the description of the breakdown of a family unit from a child’s eyes. In that child’s eyes, nothing makes sense and caring figures can turn into monsters. I feel sometimes that the reason that some of us with less than ideal family situations ‘link in’ with the film is because we can remember trying to figure out who’s the ‘ goody and the baddy ‘ and that can very nuanced, and changes like the tide. Obviously that’s from a personal perspective. I wonder sometimes if the film is deep in subliminal meanings and ‘sums’ that don’t add up specifically for this reason, but then the question is why those false paths echo that uneasiness. It’s funny to think of the way the film was initially received which was very bad and is now viewed as the greatest horror film. And that’s the thing, it’s not a horror film at all and that is a completely true statement, lol, it’s also greatest horror film ever made and that is also a true statement, it’s like the seeds needed to germinate over time. I’m sorry this has been such a long comment, I also liked your previous video on the timeline and I forget where I saw it but Kubrick did organise dialogue and scenes into periods of time. I think it was an interview with his writer where he said that but you’d need to look into it. In regards to the timeline maybe, it looked good and generally I’d urge you to continue with your opinions/analysis, there was a few things that I hadn’t known before. Specifically the station wagon and the links with Lolita. If you haven’t watched it, Kubricks daughter made a 24 minute documentary on the making of’. There was only one group of visitors to the set and that was James Mason and family. He was in the documentary, you seem to have found him in the film. Go you🎉 I think the film is so layered and has so many multiple theories that we are in the hedge maze itself. I really enjoyed the content. Many thanks again.

Very good video, thanks

It would not surprise me at all if the stay at the Overlook was exactly 42 days. Nothing would surprise me WRT this film. I saw it in the theater when it first came out in 1980 (yes, I'm that old), and it had haunted me ever since. In the years since it has only grown in its influence,

I grew up in the midwest in the 60s and I never saw a yellow Volkswagen bug. Not until I saw the movie The Shining.

Well done! I never noticed the station wagon in the opening credits. I believe the number six is all over 2001: A Space Odyssey. 😸

Wow new sub😊

Really enjoyed the video, thanks

Isn’t it the Stanley hotel in real life?

Greatest single line in the single greatest episode in sitcom history.

Cool i just moved to Colorado springs from Tennessee

Is the 42 mentions because of hitchikers guide to galaxy?

For the last time - The Grady Girls aren't twins! 8 and 10, as the film states (Mr. Ullmann.)

The woman in the bathtub in room 237 is based on a woman being murdered in room 217, Stephen King's novel..

Thanks for the location info. There are a lot of places in Boulder. The church where they took out the bodies is on Table Mesa......The park where Larry meets Fran is in Eben G Fine Park. BTW I did know the exact location of the house on 42st street. It's been several years since I've been by. I've often wondered if the people living there know that Steve King use to live there

station wagon a 56 ford, not 40's automobile

Interesting 🤔

Hi, dont forget that The Hotel was conceived like a Living Entity. The entity comunicates with Halloran, Jack, Wendy and little Dany. This entity is conceived in someway like an evil presence. Yes I confirmed to you guys Mother and Son are both hero. And there is this crazy idea that Jack dies inside the freeze, because its horror, gothic horror. And there are more than one laberinth.

Whos this Qbricks feller

Temtation ?

Hitchhiker's guide to the universe?

Time stamp for the meaning of 42?

Girl, the vibes here gave me life.

The movie doesn't take place in 1975. Jack is seen reading the January 1978 issue of PLAYGIRL magazine in the lobby of the Overlook on Closing Day, so that scene probably takes place later that year in 1978, on October 30th, which was a Monday. It's possible that that issue of PLAYGIRL had been left there in the lobby by someone who'd gotten it more than a year beforehand, which would make this scene happen on 30 October 1979 -- or even two years before, making it on 30 October 1980 -- but odds are the magazine was from earlier that same year, as I can't see the jet-setters who frequent the Overlook Hotel being the types who would be reading PLAYGIRL magazines dating back to more than a year earlier -- but that's just my 'feel' for the vibe of the clientele at the Overlook. I honestly don't know why you would think that THE SHiNING takes place in 1975, especially given that January 1978 issue of the magazine Jack was reading. We also don't know EXACTLY how long that "MONTH" might have been, mentioned in the Title Card: "One Month Later" . . . it could be either 30 or 31 days. As for what day of the week it was when Wendy went to see Jack, only to discover his typescript & hit him with the baseball bat (etc.), you'll remember that she had left Danny up in their Caretaker's quarters/apartment, where he was watching a Road Runner cartoon -- and back then this would've happened only on a SATURDAY morning, when THE BUGS BUNNY ROAD RUNNER SHOW was regularly broadcast on Saturday mornings. This was years before CARTOON NETWORK on Cable-TV or Satellite TV, remember. It's to be remembered that the first scene where we see Danny and Wendy, in the beginning -- during Jack's INTERVIEW, Danny was watching a ROAD RUNNER cartoon as he ate his sandwich and Wendy was reading CATCHER IN THE RYE. So, that day too was a SATURDAY. Danny was lured into Room 237 on 'WEDNESDAY' and, presumably, Jack went into Room 237 later that day to encounter the Woman in the tub (etc.), all while Danny was using his 'Shining' gift to call out to Hallorann. While I would like to believe that Hallorann flew out the very next day from Florida to Denver, the fact is that Danny/Tony was watching SATURDAY MORNING cartoons when Wendy went to see Jack, clobbered him, and locked him in the Pantry. Hallorann arrived there that evening -- he being murdered by Jack when a clock on the wall read "5:25" an hour and 25 minutes after Grady talks with Jack trapped in the Pantry. Hallorann told Larry Durkins that he had phoned Ullman the night before, Ullman supposedly telling him to go up to the Overlook to see whether or not the unreliable Torrances had to be replaced. Hallorann MIGHT have been lying to Larry Durkins, not wanting to let him know that it was a Psychic 'connection' that had led him to make the trip up from Florida, and thus PRETENDING that he'd also been in contact with Mr. Ullman. On the other hand, he also just might be telling him the truth -- that he DID contact Ullman and, after a phone conversation, been given the task of going up to the hotel himself to see if they had to replace the Torrance family. Assuming this did, indeed, happen, then the bulk of Thursday -- the day after 'WEDNESDAY' -- might have involved Hallorann contacting Ullman . . . Ullman calling the Forest Ranger guys, to see if they could contact the Overlook via the radio . . . the Forest Ranger guys attempting to contact the Overlook unsuccessfully, as Jack had damaged the radio . . . Ullman discovering that the radio contact seems to have been lost, perhaps permanently. This runaround back-and-forth involving Hallorann, Ullman, and the Forest Ranger station guys might've lasted until the next day -- Friday -- with Ullman finally telling Hallorann to make the trip up to the hotel the first thing 'tomorrow' -- i.e. on SATURDAY morning, when Danny's watching cartoons. etc. If this is the case, and assuming that this is in the year 1978 -- 10 to 11 months after that PLAYGIRL issue hit the stands in JAUARY 1978 -- then the four Title Cards reading 'THURSDAY' ... 'SATURDAY' ... 'MONDAY' ... and 'WEDNESDAY' would've been for the dates December 7, 1978 ... December 9, 1978 ... December 11, 1978 ... and December 13, 1978, with the final day -- when all hell breaks loose -- being the next SATURDAY, December 16, 1978. Unfortunately, that date would represent Day 48, counting October 30th as Day 1. If we were to suppose that the film takes place the next year, in 1979, then October 30, 1979 was a TUESDAY, and "One Month Later" would have been FRIDAY, November 30, 1979. The snowstorm had to have been on a WEDNESDAY, since the Title card 'THURSDAY' is seen just before we see Wendy and Danny playing in the snow, while Jack glares malevolently at them from inside -- and that 'THURSDAY' would probably represent the date December 6, 1979. This would be followed by 'SATURDAY' = December 8, 1979 . . . then 'MONDAY' = December 10, 1979 . . . then 'WEDNESDAY' = December 12, 1979 . . . with the next SATURDAY being the final day, when Danny/Tony is watching cartoons as Wendy deals with Jack, etc., on the date December 15, 1979, which would be Day 47, counting October 30, 1979 as Day 1. If we were to suppose that the film takes place in 1980 (as many people assume), then October 30, 1980 ('CLOSING DAY') was a THURSDAY, and "A Month Later..." (i.e. November 30, 1980) was a SUNDAY. The next title cards would then be 'THURSDAY' = December 4, 1980 ... 'SATURDAY' = December 6, 1980 ... 'MONDAY' = December 8, 1980 ... and 'WEDNESDAY' = December 10, 1980 . . . with the mayhem happening next SATURDAY = December 13, 1980, beginning with Danny watching his SATURDAY MORNING cartoons, etc. That date, SATURDAY, December 13, 1980, would be Day 45, counting October 30, 1980 as Day 1. I can see why one would want the timeline of the film to stretch from CLOSING DAY to the Big Day for a total of 42 days, what with the prevalence of the number '42' elsewhere in the film, but it just doesn't work. The year 1975 is three years too early at LEAST, given the publishing date of that January 1978 PLAYGIRL magazine, and it's just a plain fact that back in the late '70s the cartoons that Danny was wont to watch were SATURDAY MORNING television programming, back when there were only CBS, BC, NBC, and PBS to choose from. It would be helpful if we could know whether or not the movie "THE SUMMER OF '42" -- released in theaters on 19 April 1971 -- was shown on TV in the afternoon-ish time in early December of 1978 or 1979 or 1980 (etc.) . . . but maybe it's too much to expect that Kubrick would have checked the broadcast times for the network showing of that 1971 film in the Colorado area. For that matter, Kubrick -- by then living in England -- might not have been as aware of the fact that the cartoons Danny watched were shown -- in America -- on Saturday mornings, and wouldn't have been seen on TV on a Wednesday or a Thursday.
