The Shining - Pantry Scene

[@daisychain8622]

This is the key scene in the whole film. Everything else can be explained as Jack's insane hallucinations, but who unlocks the pantry door? it adds so much to the film.

[@garbageday587]

Don't forget that not only Danny but Jack Wendy and Halloran has the shining. I think that Jack opened the door by telekinesis aka shining.

[@veeseee128]

+Daisy Chain Bad things happened at that hotel. People were murdered. Delbert Grady murdered his wife and two daughters. The Ghost of Delbert Grady haunted that hotel. It got control of Jacks mind. It possessed him and got him to try and murder his own family like Delbert did. The ghost let him out of the pantry.

[@mikemaldonado9960]

+Daisy Chain no hallucinations...these are demonic entities. the overlook wanderers

[@PoletBally]

+degree7 Yes, I guess that could explain opening the main locking mechanism of the door, but it still doesn't explain the safety lock pin that Wendy also used to double lock the door. She BOTH locks the door with the main locking mechanism AND puts the safety pin, it is clearly visible in the scene where she locks the door. And there is no way to remove the safety pin from the inside. For a long time, I thought that the only logical explanation for Jack's escape is that the axe he used was somewhere inside the room with him off camera, which allowed him to break down the door and escape. But recently I noticed that a little later there is a very short amount of time, about a second where Jack passes the same room and the opened door again around the time he kills Halloran, and it is shown that the door was opened cleanly and there was no damage to the door like it was opened by force. That is the power of The Shining - its mystery and the fact that no one really knows what the hell is happening in that movie. It leads you to believe that the "ghosts" are only in the characters' imaginations and that it is all psychological, but then there is this scene with the door that can't be explained using that logic. And this blend of psychological and super natural is what makes this film the greatest horror film ever IMO and one of the greatest films of all time period. If it was merely 100% psychological or 100% super natural, then it wouldn't be nowhere near as powerful or as discussed almost 40 years after it was made.

[@nickmattio3397]

Jack unlocks it via Grady, one of his split personalities. The side of the pantry door is metal and reflective mirror like so he thinks Grady unlocks it for him but it's really Jack unlocking his Shining abilities

[@Tres_Nueve]

"I and others" is probably the scariest line in the film.

[@need-to-know-]

Yes it is one of the scariest lines. Especially in the context of: “Your money is no good here. Orders from the house. Drink up, Mr. Torrance. I’m the kind of man who likes to know who’s buying their drinks, Lloyd. It’s not a matter that concerns you, Mr. Torrance. _At least, not at the moment.”_

[@tvlar116]

According to Kubrick in an interview, the moment Grady lets Jack out is when the audience is supposed to understand that supernatural elements are at work here. He also mentions a story where a paranoid poker player accuses someone of cheating, and in the end you find out they really were cheating, and he used that concept in The Shining. Just because Jack's going crazy doesn't mean nothing supernatural is happening.

[@thiscorrosion900]

The point is he's going mad, and the hotel is possessing him.

[@yohouseholdcool6993]

[@jacktorrance9688]

He doesn't go mad in the way of "hallucinating things and hearing voices", but rather in the form of becoming "evil" because the hotel possesses him. The things he sees are real (obviously), since they are ghosts.

The door opening by itself is quite a revealing scene in the movie which finally tells us that Jack was not hallucinating and was in fact being recruited by hotel's demons all along.

[@MrFunkhauser]

I've always believed Jack wasn't recruited willingly but was possessed somewhat because he was already vulnerable due to anger issues and alcoholism. The hotel couldn't get his wife because she has a strong will or the kid for obvious reasons.

Probably the ghosts are aware of his resentment towards his wife and are taunting him with it - "You were outsmarted by your wife etc. etc."

[@goodtogomofo]

The hotel releases Jack. The hotel is the monster and it wants Danny. The hotel tricks Jack into believing Wendy and Danny are against him. All the ghosts you see in The Shining exist because of the hotels power. In the book, the hotel is characterized as the bad guy, not the ghosts or even Jack.

[@DarthRushy]

I don't think the Hotel wants Danny in the movie. He's merely a catalyst for making them stronger than usual(so that they can appear to Jack). They just want to absorb yet another family here, business as usual.

[@Friskyskelton]

When we first meet Grady he is a servant and very deferential to Jack. But gradually the tables are turned and Grady becomes the boss whom Jack is eager to please.

[@samuelweir5985]

Actually, the table seemed to turn quite suddenly in the middle of the discussion between Jack and Grady in the red bathroom in the ballroom. At first Grady was very polite and deferential and apologetic to Jack. But then in the middle of their discussion, soon after Jack tells Grady that he recognizes him as the previous caretaker, the table turns quite quickly. Soon Grady is telling Jack that - if he may be so bold as to say so - that Jack's son is a very 'naughty' boy who needs to be "corrected". Grady, who was previously polite and proper, even uses the vulgar "n-word" to describe the person who Jack's son is communicating with. It's a startling change in the relationship between Grady, who has unmasked himself as a vulgar, crude, and dominating person, and Jack. By the time that we're at this freezer scene in the movie, Grady's position of superiority and authority over Jack is complete. Jack is under his control.

[@DukGef]

No, it's a traditional English word of honor. Grady is a gentleman and from a time in England. This means that when someone has officially given their word they NEVER go back on it. To do so would be a disgrace. A gentleman's agreement over murder is quite ironic though.

[@ceoofworldpeace8901]

"Who unlocks the door?" The hotel did. As Mr. Hallorann said, some places shine like people. Jack literally sold his soul for a drink and the hotel did the rest. Once he made that connection and once he went into Room 237, the hotel became "alive."

Yes, his use of camera placement and tracking was indeed his craft. I love the bathroom scene with Mr. Grady too. Let's not forget his use of sound...or LACK of it.! Most movies are littered with back to back dialogue, but Stanley skillfully uses the silent moments to reel you into the story, and it works wonders for this film. Also his use of silence in '2001 A Space Odyssey' is even more powerful.

And the Hotel *needs* him to be alive so he can be free to kill Wendy and Danny without any restrictions because the ghosts are indeed restricted in what they can do to Wendy and Danny. What it didn't count on was Wendy and Danny actually surviving and outsmarting him and they're able to escape the boundaries of the Hotel's power. And with Jack trapped in the Hedge Maze, *outside* of the reach of the other ghosts, there's nothing the Hotel can do, expect claim Jack's soul and give him the role of Lloyd since that's the ghost that Jack surrendered his soul to. That is where Jack is truly trapped, not in a pantry, but in a bar.

[@michaelpryor78]

In the book, there's a bottle of gin and a glass waiting for him outside the pantry when he gets out.

Best scene in the movie, since up until now no one could be sure that Jack wasn't merely hallucinating it all.

0:32 Jack was eating some nice Oreos

[@OrcaAnimus2292]

I love Oreos 🤤

[@stevekaczynski3793]

In the book, he is eating cookies while locked in the pantry. Not because he is especially hungry but he needs the energy. He plans to engage in mayhem when he gets out.

[@vidfreak56]

Theres far more to this film then just jack talking to "hallucinations". Clearly there were always supernatural elements to this from so many other parts. Im not sure why people are surprised by it.

[@derricdueker64]

Rockin' the Oreo slash peanut butter combo.

[@spinner9057]

Seriously though a job well done on the acting by the oreos, kool aid, tang, heinz ketchup................................................AND the nilla wafers. All of their performances were second to none!!!!! They were Kubrick's unsung heroes because even when they weren't shown, they were still there the whole time, sitting in the same spot and doing exactly what they were supposed to do.

Thought same

[@DEthe5150]

Mind blown.

[@BigMWilly]

You can actually give Trevor a very similar haircut and buy the jacket that Jack is wearing in the movie it’s actually called the ‘Overlooked’ jacket, the hotel is called The Overlook hotel

[@faithnoman2635]

I ALWAYS think of Jack Torrance when I see Trevor. Awesome character.

[@mitchellhodack657]

Trevor Phillips.

[@joejohn.]

Grady sounds very different here than he did in the bathroom scene.

[@michaelhenderson7075]

Yeah but it was him though

[@mjacobsable]

Maybe Grady sounds different because he projects more in this scene

[@clinteastwood6875]

In the bathroom scene he's speaking slightly softer and with a higher pitch. Here he really means business and it sounds a bit different.

[@Flaytt744]

Do not forget ..the whole Hotel was built on a Native American gravesite..that explains a lot. Stephen King seemed enthralled with the NativeAmerican and Slavery issues

[@LIONTAMER3D]

The Simpson's take on this scene will never leave my mind.

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

Marge was splendid as Wendy.

[@cgsweat]

One of the scariest scenes in the movie, because how can this be explained? Either there are real, tangible ghosts lurking about, or the hotel itself is some kind of living, functioning embodiment of evil.

[@verbalkint4258]

Both are true

[@princessmarlena1359]

1:39 Jack: “Well what other option do you have, here!? Wendy’s not going to do it. There’s no one else here, not even that officious little pr¡ck Stuart Allman. And I know you don’t want _his_ help!”

[@Laurentiu909]

In other words, the genius of Kubrick in action.

[@panagiotisdedes7975]

For the moment Mr Grady.Only for the moment

[@guibox3]

I laugh at all the comments here trying to explain away the door opening from Jack hallucinating being put into the pantry and doing it by telekinesis. Clearly these people never read 'The Shining' and are confused by Kubrick's adaptation. As they should be, considering that Kubrick took a ghost story about a hotel wanting Danny's power and made it out to be an alcoholic suffering from cabin fever and having a mental breakdown. The ghosts of The Overlook are behind everything and Jack is a pawn who in his weakness gets taken over by the ghosts to get to Danny.

[@samw5767]

[@Azrael-e3b]

Will You indeed Mr. Torrence?

[@djdeadbeat4380]

I see this scene as one of the best in the film. Like much of Stanley Kubrick’s work, it seems to be kept vague, which makes it even more interesting, I’ve never read the book, so I don’t know if this line up with any information provided there, but I see the hotel as the antagonist of the film, not Jack. The ghosts, such as Delbert Grady and the bartender, Lloyd, are merely tools of the hotel’s will. With the case of Mr. Grady, it seems once the hotel has made the current residents go insane, (or possibly if you’re murdered on the property in the case of Grady’s wife and daughters) that the hotel traps you and you become part of its collection of tools that the hotel will use to consume the next victims. I don’t think the ghosts are acting independently and opening up the door for Jack in this scene. I think that the ghosts are literally puppets of the hotel and that they’re a way for the hotel to communicate on a verbal level with a few of its select victims. Obviously, the hotel can’t talk, so it uses the spirits of its previous victims it has at its disposal. Mr. Grady isn’t opening the door, the hotel is. The hotel’s endgame is to consume more victims, by whatever means necessary. Obviously, with the case of Mr. Grady and Jack, the easiest method to achieve this is to drive the biggest and strongest member of the group to insanity and do the dirty work of disposing of the others. I’m sure there are many other cases of the hotel consuming its victims before Grady and Jack that we never hear of. I doubt it uses the same strategy to trap its victims each time, but it will go to frightening lengths to do so. The hotel fails to trap and consume Danny and Wendy, but it seems to be content enough to just have Jack. The final scene in which the picture is shown of Jack at the July 4th Ball in 1921 signifies to me that once the hotel consumes you, you will always be a part of it....and always have been.

[@murkartik]

Great analysis. Also we know that in the case of at least Jack, booze is the method. Overlook is built on an Indian burial ground, disturbing the spirits of those there - and booze was used to subdue native americans and first nations as it has been used to corrupt and control many indigenous populations (e.g. Irish, where I'm from). But it's not saying booze itself is bad - and it isn't - it's just another tool for control because it makes people act at a lower mental level. I know people read way too much into this movie (as Room 237 showed, even though it's a fascinating watch) but I really do sympathize with those who interpret this movie as a comment on the process of imperial colonialism and what it does to those doing the colonizing as much as the victims.

[@Esotereclectic]

Stanley Kubrick must really have liked the Grady character, since everything he says in the movie is taken almost entirely from the book, practically word-for-word.

[@fahmifaturahman2940]

You know that this reference to a song named "Hotel California" or vice versa.

[@nnnnnnnn7951]

My favorite little detail is that Jack's been tearing into the Oreos and planters while he's been locked in there lol

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

He's got a nice little feast there. In the book Jack just eats a box of Triskets too keep energy.

[@stereo-type1510]

The Hotel unlocks the door

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

The Hotel was haunted.

[@1ranjeeves21]

I think Danny unlocked it while he was asleep. Jack heard Mr Grady in his head and imagined the door being unlocked which when he physically tried the door it opened. The scene following this is Danny in a catatonic state repeating redrum over and over meaning that Danny knew what was going to happen directly because he knew the door was now open and that his father was coming for them both.

[@arkhamtony4469]

If that is the case , he would have been dead .

[@Nameless-pt6oj]

How do you explain Wendy seeing the ghosts, Halloran having the shining, he and Danny communicating in their thoughts, Jack picking up and drinking the bourbon and the picture in 1921?

[@nepntzerZer]

this is the scene that flips the whole movie on its head and keeps people talking about it 40+ years later...

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

Second only to the final scene when the camera focuses in on the photograph on the wall with Torrence in the middle from 1921, for plot impact. This one scene proves the ghosts are not imaginary. Danny of course has the encounter with the twins and the lady in 237.

[@fonsworthhiggenbothim3680]

Cabin fever, with mental illness before that, then selling his soul. He had a void and he found something to fill the void. Eventually Shelley Duvall sees the ghosts and wants to leave.

[@grelm1322]

Will you indeed, Mr Torrence? I wonder. I have my doubts. I, and the others, have come to believe that your heart is not in this. That you haven't the belly for it.
