This is actually a amazing video I adore the shining and watch millions of videos about it but normally they are all the same theories but your video is original and I’ve never heard of these (if they are already theories) and I love it thank you for making this :))

[@tankardoftales4645]

Thanks. I'm having lots of fun while making these videos and I'll be making more later. I currently got my hands on identical female babies (Kubrick curse lol) and they are a handful. And I'm a little stuck on Lolita (I have 2 or 3 more videos to make). I have more Shining stuff planned. I'm not sure you discover Object of Arts KZbin channel. She has an interesting theory in the Shining too. If you had not seen Lolita 1962. You should check it out, whatever people said about that movie is completely wrong. And I read the book too. And they are also wrong about. Both book and movie is told by an unreliable narrator. In the movie what's really crazy once you identify Humbert Humbert is not being honest, the movie gets more darker. I have 3 videos that explains what's going on. Thanks for the comments (these make me happy to read). Love to hear more from you later.

I'm a Shining Conspiracy Theorist and I like to pose questions that make people think more deeply about Kubrick's film. For example: Who are the two twin girls Danny sees in the hallway? Kubrick cast identical twin girls in this role. At the beginning of the film, we are told that the old caretaker, Charles Grady, had two daughters who were eight and ten. So, why is Danny seeing twins? Another question: "Why are there two Grady's?" As previously mentioned, the ex-caretaker of the Overlook Hotel was a man named Charles Grady. In a later scene, Jack meets a man called Delbert Grady in the red bathroom. What's up with the two Grady's? How about this one: "Why doesn't anyone see the same ghosts?" If the hotel is haunted at all, you'd assume there would be the ghost of someone who had died there haunting the family. Let's say, for example, the bartender is a vengeful ghost haunting the hotel. Why doesn't he appear to Danny or Wendy? Why is it that whenever Jack sees a ghost, he's looking directly into a mirror?

>I'm a Shining Conspiracy Theorist and I like to pose questions that make people think more deeply about Kubrick's film. Currently I’m dissecting Lolita 1962 and the book. I believe both book and movie is very similar to each other and the story is NOT a love story but a horror story. I don’t see this as a conspiracy theorist issue, it seemed that Kubrick was way ahead of his time and he created a movie within a movie. If you Bing search: The Shining and Pink Floyd's The Wall both Intro. You’ll get my short Rumble video. You might enjoy it. I cannot post the link because KZbin don’t like links in the messages. >For example: Who are the two twin girls Danny sees in the hallway? Kubrick cast identical twin girls in this role. At the beginning of the film, we are told that the old caretaker, Charles Grady, had two daughters who were eight and ten. So, why is Danny seeing twins? You should check out the KZbinr “The Object of Art” her theory is the twins represent the twin Japanese cities that was bombed with the atomic bomb. My thoughts on the twins are not clear at the moment. >Another question: "Why are there two Grady's?" As previously mentioned, the ex-caretaker of the Overlook Hotel was a man named Charles Grady.

My thought is one of the Grady’s is not real. >How about this one: "Why doesn't anyone see the same ghosts?"

Why doesn't he appear to Danny or Wendy? Why is it that whenever Jack sees a ghost, he's looking directly into a mirror? That’s an interesting question. It depends if the old lady ghost tried to choke Danny or he bumped into the Bear/Dog costume ghost. (I believe in the book the bear/dog costume ghost wanted to rape Danny.)

I always assumed the two Gradys were relatives. Like father & son who were both lured there, as caretakers and succumbed to the hotels evil, thus killing their family. So essentially it's a family haunting a family to try and get Jack to do what the Gradys did, so the hotel has more evil to feed off of.

[@tankardoftales4645]

@@anotherlittlepieceofmyart If you want to believe that. sure. This is not wrong. I'm looking at the Shining being told by an unreliable narrator and making my assumptions on the true story based on the clues I can figure out. And the two Grady's are part of the unreliable narrator. This is how I see it.

Bravo! "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on, you crazy diamond. Now there is a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on, you crazy diamond....... Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far. Shine on, you crazy diamond." Kubrick was a known Pink Floyd fan. Fact.

[@tankardoftales4645]

I was trying to figure out how to post this but I'm dealing with stupid copyright issues. If you play "In the Flesh?" (the first song from the Wall) and play the Shining with Warner Bros. Pictures logo at 20/21 seconds after "In the Flesh?" starts playing. (There is that little warmup before the song starts) The song really fits! The lyrics comes up while the credits roll and that ending airplane dive (is during the overview of the Overlook. I'm thinking Stanley Kubrick mixed Pink Floyd music into the Shining and I'm thinking the songs fit in between each title cards. Not sure what songs because Pink Floyd has a huge collection by 1979.

I watched part of a movie called "The Canterville Ghost" today while I had The Shining playing at the same time on another screen. This movie has a ghost and WWII in it. I only noticed at the end - Danny was running around in the maze while the American soldiers were HUMILIATING the ghost. So The Shining ended and I restarted it at random. Soon Ullman was explaining about Charles Grady, and in The Canterville Ghost, actor Robert Young was finding out that he was a long lost member of the ghost's family. I never understood why people are so keen to work out the Grady family's reincarnations and connect it to Jack, but now I would suggest maybe Jack is just of the same family, not a direct descendant. All the male members of the Canterville family are cursed to be cowards. So, the movie is about overcoming the curse. The ghost is freed from his curse at the end of the movie and gets a happy burial - so I read on wikipedia, but my copy of the movie cut off in the middle. I will guess maybe the photo at the end of The Shining equals the end of The Canterville Ghost where the soldier and a child are looking at the Ghost's tombstone.

[@tankardoftales4645]

The Canterville Ghost from 1944. Makes sense, interesting to check out.

[@hermanhale9258]

@@tankardoftales4645 Oh, yeah, one more. At one point Robert Young and the child stand on the left side of the screen, and Young reaches out slowly and draws a curtain back. "Same gesture" as they say, that we see in the bathtub in The Shining. Same moment of suspense. Also, on the political level, when told that American soldiers are staying on the English property, the little girl mentions cowboys and Indians. The rich aunt says the aristocrats must make their guests feel welcome, the little girl asks, "How do you make Indians feel welcome?", showing she is "on the side" of the Indians. This is a theme with Wendy and her yellow jacket and I think Danny with his choice of darts in the game room (arrows).

[@hermanhale9258]

@@tankardoftales4645 Here's another - because he is seeing and talking to ghosts, Robert Young says something about "I'm going out of my mind" and that he needs a keeper. Which sort of ties The Overlook experience all together, on one level.

@@tankardoftales4645 I just know what the wikipedia article said. Seems the ghost wanted to buried and stop being a ghost. The American soldier, played by Robert Young, did not die.

You might want to also check out LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD. It's worth watching for its own sake, as one of the most beautiful and confusing films ever made. But I think Kubrick took some direct inspiration from that one, too. Thanks for the videos!

I started this off with low expectations, but I was wrong. I also have thought the maze in Sleuth inspired The Shining maze, somewhat. And, I also have thought, "Maybe Jack is the caretaker of an asylum of crazy ghosts". As to the typewriter, from my own movie watching, I think all inventions are kind of equal in movies, and they are often box shaped, even cars. And they get shown the same way in movies, just the invention in the middle of the screen. Usually a telephone. Of course, old telephones were often very decorative. The diamond pattern in my opinion is often a cage, which shows the characters are trapped. It's like a chicken coop. The characters often don't know they are in danger of being "torn to shreds" so to speak by the bad guy/"wolf" character.

[@tankardoftales4645]

Thanks. I'm pleased you had low expectations and was surprised. Sleuth I believe you're a little correct - Stanley did used the creators of the maze in Sleuth to make the maze in the Shining. I kind of believe the inspiration of the maze came from the poster of The Hunting (1963) but I also believe the idea of the maze came from a picture in the 1940's - Doctors, Nurses and British Soldiers are walking in the maze for some kind of therapy. >And, I also have thought, "Maybe Jack is the caretaker of an asylum of crazy ghosts" It's not far off from my thinking... I'm thinking Wendy is suffering from mental illness in an asylum. The real asylum is the building that was shown before Wendy and Danny was seen in at the table while eating lunch. The apartment she's in is also part of the asylum.

[@chandie5298]

16:05 agreed. Stephen King is a good writer who made a career of writing very formulaic novels to hollywood.....in no way should he ever be considered a genius. Certainly he has fans of his books (a lot of people aren't capable of judging literary works so they assume that simply because he successfully marketed his novels to hollywood and films were made.....that makes him a genius) but he's just a good writer, not a genius. As opposed to Kubrick who is absolutely a genius. Another theory is that Kubrick modeled the Jack character in his great film after King. Allegedly.... a narcissistic, ego-maniac, raving alcoholic and drug abuser who both emotionally and physically abuses his wife and children..... allegedly, makes Jack a very scary character. A writer who massively overestimates his skill as a writer far above this actual good, competent skill.

[@watermelonlalala]

Maybe you are aware - There are some old seventies TV shows (Circle of Fear/Ghost Story) you can find on KZbin and I think it was the "Shining Insights" channel that pointed out one horror series had a show with Susan Day and Barry Nelson, and quite a bit of it suggested The Shining. I think that channel was the one that pointed out how you can track the actors in The Shining back and forth in their careers, and there are many odd coincidences with the names, the roles, etc. Like the Ullman and Torrance names thing you pointed out.

[@watermelonlalala]

I think King's bit about Hallorann talking with his grandma with his mind is like another show in that series, where Jodie Foster can talk with her grandpa with her mind and he gets her to do bad things.

[@tankardoftales4645]

Yeah I've watched the Shining Insights, and was very surprised by 3 Faces of Eve. There are a few connections from 3 Faces of Eve that's in the Shining that leads me to believe Wendy is having spilt personality issues (nobody is touching her but she's doing the touching) I have not sit down and watched Circle of Fear/Ghost Story yet. They are on my list. I'm currently watching the old TV show Thriller... lol >I think that channel was the one that pointed out how you can track the actors in The Shining back and forth in their careers, and there are many odd coincidences with the names, the roles, etc. Like the Ullman and Torrance names thing you pointed out. Yeah the Shining Insights does a good job. The Ullman/Torrance names are from Stephen King's book. My hunch is Stephen King saw "The Night Visitor" and he was working on a short story about it. But I have not found anything that Stephen King said it was inspired from The Night Visitor, he keeps talking about the hotel he was in but I have doubts because this was during the time Stephen King was broke... but it's not impossible for him to write a letter to the Stanley Hotel and get a brochure in the mail. But this is cracking Stephen King code - I'm not sure I'll be in that rabbit hole - lol
