@@avae5343 Very interesting indeed. It seems Kubrick left many avenues of thought open as in a charade where viewers choose that which they like best. These apparent continuity errors are intentional as anyone who has read good Kubrick biographies knows. However few people seem to acknowledge these hidden clues and messages which have been included in the film for good reason.

[@MrRyan-wu4jx]

Somebody would still need to sit down and edit all that and insert Wendy, and Danny’s perspectives. And you saw what happened when Jack sat down and tried to write, it was just rambling nonsense. It might be interesting in a diary of a madman sort of way but it’s absolutely not the same story.

Funnily enough, that's what I find helps makes the film more intriguing and intense than the novel. Jack's descent into madness and seduction by the powers that be are more believable since it is quickly established how discontent he is with his life. He was itching for something different - something better suited to his tastes and fantasies. Jack Torrance essentially becomes the embodiment of a mid-life crisis gone horribly wild.

[@TheAsharedhett]

To me, this is one of the most memorable and alluring scenes of any movie I've seen. One interesting detail I recently noticed (in keeping with the dissonance of the rest of the film), is that Jack asks for bourbon, and Lloyd reaches for Jack Daniel's, which is Tennessee whiskey, not the same. Much like the slight variations elsewhere (Stuart Ullmann telling Jack that the job is until May, and Jack here telling Lloyd that it is until April, and many others), was this perhaps another intentional minute discrepancy? Jack asks for bourbon, and Lloyd immediately pours him a glass, so we assume that's what it is, but in my mind something stuck out to me about that, until years later I finally realized, Jack Daniels isn't even bourbon! It's still whiskey, so nothing immediately gets called to your attention, but you can clearly see the label on that bottle, and JD isn't bourbon. I love this movie and how filled with these little oddities it is!

[@purplefidelity5162]

This scene is amazingly satisfying

[@GZALyricalGenius3102]

Part of the reason the bartender and other ghosts look so haunting is the lighting used in the shots where they appear. Strong bright lights are positioned behind them causing the foreground and ghosts face to appear darkened and uneven, almost like a silhouette. Usually the facial features of an actor, especially the eyes are what we connect with, so surrounding lighting is even and balanced to help this, but this is an inversion of conventional lighting techniques, forcing the viewer to focus more and almost squint to see the haunting faces. This is also the case with the wider framed shots of the twin girls. As well as being a POV of Danny, the wide shot forces the viewer to focus in to discern details of the girls face etc. sometimes then we are treated to a rapid zoom in, disorienting us. Disorientation is often used in horror film cinematography for desired effect - see Dutch tilt 😊 Kubrick was a genius.

[@GZALyricalGenius3102]

See also the medium close up shot of Delbert Grady in the bathroom. Bright lights on either side behind him, creating the same effect.

[@CyborgNinja86]

I used to think the hotel was slowly possessing Jack and it was the hotel's evilness that was slowly driving him insane. But the way Jack recalls the incident with Danny and shows little to no remorse, guilt or genuine regret makes me believe he's always been a miserable bastard harnessing some true evil within him. And the Overlook hotel, throughout the course of the movie, brings that evil out of him

[@kyleroberts1276]

Well yeah, you would have had to have been a bad person to begin with, otherwise the hotel wouldn't have such a grip on you. Evil begets evil. Jack couldn't have been a good person to begin with.

Jack Daniels technically qualifies as a bourbon. But the charcoal filtering sets it apart from regular bourbon.

@@indertat3104 No it doesn't. A bourbon must be distilled at no more than 160 proof, or 80% alcohol by volume. Jack is well under that. It comes over the still at 140 proof, or 70% alcohol.

Never has the sight of a man sitting in a bar ordering a drink from the bartender been the most terrifying thing I’ve seen in a movie, until The Shining did it. Incredible, Stanley Kubrick was a genius! And Jack Nicholson was legendary in the movie!

I like how his attitude changes even though he hasn't drank enough to be drunk. You'd think he had half the bottle after the first sip.

There isn't even any actual alcohol in the hotel, but him taking the drink is him giving into his demons and giving up resisting, which is what allows the hotel to take him.

this is probably one of the scariest scenes from a psychological viewpoint. after finding out that Jack had been at the Overlook in 1921 at the end, there's a sense of distorted time in the movie subliminally. when he says "the old spermbank upstairs" makes me believe that the scenes with the ghosts are almost done in a retrospect where Jack already is dead and he's in Hell without realizing it, hence his wife being "upstairs." also, while talking to Lloyd (the mirror reflection of Jack as well as the symbol of the devil here), it's done as a confession where it pretty much summarizes the moment he fucked up and he finally can confront it but now is paying psychologically for it (i.e. he's reliving that moment and the guilt which is his version of hell)

It doesn't show it in this video but this was the beginning of the complete meltdown. Don't remember the exact quote but he's fussing about not having alcohol and says "I'd give anything... even my GOD DAMNED SOUL" - momentarily rests his head on the bar, and boom, Lloyd is there. He doesn't even question that the place is empty besides his family or the manager saying earlier in the film that all the alcohol is removed for the winter season for insurance reasons. Definitely one of the best scenes in the movie, the second part of this scene when he's completely under the Overlook's control and the whole place is partying is amazing too.
