[@Sarahmint]

My favorite interpretation is how The Shining is a metaphor for Alchoholism and how it hurts a family and ultimately destroys it

[@seanboland2162]

It's not an aa meeting plus there are thousands of functioning alcoholics it's not the gun or even the bullets it's the perpetrator. Yes you got it right that fault is entirely on you.

[@sppsports2449]

Kubrick is, in my opinion, the best director of all time. His movies are laced with layers and layers of hidden meaning. No wonder he always took forever to make a new movie, he put his time and effort into each scene. It's truly incredible, a major contrast from 90% of movies that are released these days.

[@petitpenoit5981]

Does anyone know of any other directors who use Occult messaging/symbolism?

[@dark5tv]

Amazing video. Always great to work with you guys. The Shining is one of my favorite horror movies. Now I can sound extra smart when I talk about it.

[@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

[@BlackavarWD]

There was no onscreen link when I watched it?! I tried to click... I'm just 3 years too late, I guess.

[@rask004]

You didn't discuss the impossible Architecture of the hotel! If you follow the perspective shots during the film and what the characters say about the hotel layout, you discover hallways, doors, and windows which are either too long, too short or should not be there, because it is physically impossible in 3 dimensional space.

[@esotericksoul7156]

Do you feel smart?

[@nat1792]

The outside shot of the Hotel is not the same location in which they filmed inside, except for small room scenes and the entrance/exit scenes. I don't believe this has any sort of significance other than they needed a different location to film the hallways and the ballroom/foyers/lounge room.

[@dionmcgee5610]

And where's the maze? They show the hotel in the begining- but there is no maze.

[@EPICPACKOPENINGSXD]

The Hotel cant really be the devil because Jack was crazy from the very beginning.. Even in the car drive to the hotel. You can see him sitting slightly towards the edge of the table instead of in the middle when he is writing, which could be seen as symbolism for him being kinda "off". This is not the hotels fault tho, he could have sat in the middle if he wanted to. What im trying to say is that the hotel allows Jack to become crazy, but doesnt force him to. In the end it was inside of Jack all along.

[@ruthielalastor2209]

Jack was crazy even before becoming that character.

[@HeadToSoles]

Crazy Jack was drawn to the Devil hotel. It's far from just a hotel.

[@maggiesmith856]

That was my main beef with the movie. Book Jack was a basically decent man who loved his wife and son and struggled against the Overlook until it took him over. Movie Jack is obviously crazy in the first scene, so there's no character development.

[@dionmcgee5610]

Except for the thing outside jack that opened the door to the pantry after Wendy had locked him inside of it.

[@dionmcgee5610]

@@maggiesmith856 it's not the book at all. It's a Stanley Kubrick film. I've read the book 3 or 4 times. My favorite King novel- but. The movie is also one of my favorite horror movies.

Good review by the way. Actually the best I've seen so far. But I do have some key questions...1) Is the blood gushing from all over the hall allergy-free so the kids will be alright? 2) Is that recycled water? 3) Does the hotel have an appropriate water waste treatment? 4) Is Jack going to fix and replace the door, the radio wiring and the other damages? 5) Were the costumes pet-friendly costumes made of synthetic fiber or an evil asshole has used real animal fur? 6) Was the ice-cream gluten free? 7) Will Jack burial expenses going to be paid by the Overlook Hotel management or his family will have to file for it with the Crazy and Creepy Hotel Janitors' Association?

[@kennethjose7159]

I literally just watch this film an hour ago and I NEED ANSWERS!

[@MarkLewis...]

+Kenneth... In a nutshell- John "Jack" Torrance, the fictitious writer in "The Shining" is an allegoric representation of Steven King, while on a working-vacation, and going through the processes of: 1) Coming up with an idea for a novel. 2) Rejecting ideas. 3) Writer's block. 4) Being interrupted driving him crazy. 5) Having a "eureka" moment. 6) Writing about the horror of writer's block for a writer in the story of The Shining, (a story within a story) and taking the "reader" on the rollercoaster ride with him, as seen through King's eyes, but as the reader. Kubrick did the same thing, (a movie inside a movie) but places the viewer of the movie of the real "writer Jack" as the fake movie "killer Jack" into the film itself, but with different methods. Why? Because King's story, (spirits that need steam, hence the boiler) is a paper story, not a celluloid one. In the movie at its climactic end, "killer Jack's" soul, (along with all the other souls in The Overlook) are condemned to this "hell" and to keep reliving their hell, and the reason why we see Jack is in the July 4th, 1921 picture in the end; while in the (so called) real-life anti-climactic, but unseen movie end... the "writer Jack" (Steven King) went home and lived happily ever after. (OR DID HE???!!! DUN DUNT DUN!!!) The story "Misery" is a similar attempt by King to catch the "lightening in a bottle" of The Shining... at least he ripped-off (mostly) himself. (It was a little pay-back to Kubrick too.) So, the movie we saw, (The Shining) is actually the story Jack wrote.

[@francisxavierpaul7952]

Mark Lewis woah 😵😵😵😵😵

[@corkydelarge4440]

[@shaheersk721]

@@MarkLewis... makes sense because afterall he was a writer and what could be a better story than a hotel set on an indian burial ground,could spark up a lot of ideas and imagination isn’t it ?

[@MarkLewis...]

@@shaheersk721 I've been trying to explain this to people (no joke) since the late 80's! And there are so many clues in the movie if you ignore all the red herrings. The impossible office window, Danny's impossible big-wheel ride, unplugged TV working, Jack at the maze, etc... We the audience are in Jack (the writer's) mind for most of the movie, seeing his script/novel unfold! That and how 2001 is a juxtaposition of Genesis and Evolution. Adam and Eve apes, Cain killing Abel after the apes touching the monolith. The first monolith is the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the second monolith is the tree of everlasting life. I did a YT video (no body watched, lol) that explains it all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXLKgZacYtNrmck

[@Briggie]

2:28 also most horror films are shot with a tight FOV so you can’t really see what is going on. In the shining, the FOV is absolutely enormous to give that sense of isolation and being overpowered by the Hotel.

[@StanleyButton]

Jeffrey Anderson YES!

[@jeffreyanderson667]

I know, right? They haven't done one western yet, I believe. And Sergio Leone's Man with no name trilogy is the most awesome ones EVER!!

[@StanleyButton]

I couldn't agree more. A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly are flawless pictures in their own way. A Fistful of Dollars - a complete reinvention of the genre. For a Few Dollars More - an excellent exercise of style and brilliant play of Western cliches. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - the greatest Western (and adventure story) ever put to film and quite possibly has the most electrifying climax ever. Honestly I have a dvd traveling case (that can only hold 24 films) I take everywhere I go and those films are in it. They're that great! I hope they do take your request in serious consideration.

[@jeffreyanderson667]

Fantastic analysis! The only thing I thought was missing was the fact that much of the hotel is literally impossible. Kubrick did a lot with panning shots from one room to the next that in reality weren't together (window placement, walls, corners, etc.) I remember seeing a great explanation of it somewhere on KZbin, perhaps EveryFrameAPainting.

Rainfawkes It isnt when you consider the fact that Miyazaki is a feminist (No not in the Tumblr Sense of feminism, REAL feminism). And also Japan had a history of brothels and abusive hierarchy.

First saw this movie when I was five, the old lady gave me nightmares for damn near 4 years. Effected a lot of my creative output later on, so thanks for the reminder of my mental scars Wisecrack, mwah

LOL ok, don’t know how I’ve never seen your content- Loved this! I’m positive you know just “how many” damn theories there are about this film (another reason I love this film) But this was a pretty fun take. Gotta see more of your vids, subbed 👍 (Truly do love this idea of Jack signing a “Faust” type contract. Def overlaps w/Jack’s picture in the end, posing w/a well known “satanic” pose & as if “his soul was captured”. One of so many theories, to reiterate, but very cool vid)

The Shining is my favourite film

[@macsnafu]

Great stuff! I'm going to watch all of these on the movies I've never bothered to watch!

Not sure about the whole inversion thing since lots of horror, both in film and fiction, focus on the transformation of the main character from human to monster.

The movie is a metaphor for alcoholism. Selling your soul to alcohol and giving up on your family and the things you truly care about just to drink. Jack chooses the hotel over his family the same way an alcoholic chooses a bottle over theirs
