The Shining - Pantry Scene

Grady lets Jack out.

[@alicegraham1571]

Grady: "Some of the ghouls and I are a little concerned that the project isn't moving as much as planned." Jack: "Can't murder now, eating."

[@Revick_Revas]

Grady: uh for crying out loud.

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

[@HauntFormer]

Tres Nueve True!

[@ellypelly9296]

Like the rest of the people in the picture in the last scene were victims of The Shining waiting for Jack to do the same as they once did

[@mikespaccarelli5282]

It could be!!!

[@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.”_

[@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

[@Bsaunders990]

[@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.

[@tzadikinnistarim3610]

[@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]

DarthRushy They want Danny for his shining power

[@DarthRushy]

T Skelton But not in the movie. That's only in the book and miniseries. They want the whole family dead here.

[@son0flaw366]

Is that what it says in the book? I haven't read it but thats the best explanation I've heard, I think it's similar to the IT being.

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

James Lawson That is what's in the book, but the book may not be relevant just on account of how much Kubrick changed for the movie--it's a very different story, and with very different meanings.

[@elsrdick]

"You give your word on that, do you Mr. Torrence?" Man, Grady means business... he sure sounds threatning when he says that

[@elenamakkann3531]

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.

[@troywright359]

That doesn't mean he doesn't sound threatening here

[@hari-xo2fm]

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.

[@shack8110]

I love this film but It's hard to understand some of what is going on. The place is just full-on haunted is all I can figure. Not a silly or fun kind-of haunted, but full-on hateful, evil haunted. Time for Hollywood to make more horror films like this.

[@TheBlackLodger]

No, the director confirmed that it really was Grady's ghost that opened it, not Danny, and the hotel is what brought all the ghosts to life.

[@TheTruth-cy4le]

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]

@@samuelweir5985 Exactly. To me Philip Stone might be the best actor I've seen in a horror movie. His face turns to - haha - stone in that scene you described. Very nightmarish indeed.

Grady was more frightening than Jack Nicholson.

[@MrTWICETHEPRESHA]

*I always thought that this scene could have been made even more scary if when Grady asks; ‘You give your word?’, Jack just nods and doesn’t say anything. Then Grady would say ‘Very well’. That way it would tell us that the house and ghosts are watching him the whole time, even in a confined pantry*

Even short clips like this of 'The Shining' I can watch repeatedly. I love Kubrick's use of the slow-zoom and tracking shot in this bit, and his compositions throughout the whole film (emphasizing how small the characters are inside and outside the hotel) really suck you into this nightmare-world.

[@canadude6401]

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.

The thing that was always creepy to me is not only was he talking to this supernatural thing, but it unlocks the door, it actually let's him out.

[@girl1213]

Why would it keep him trapped when he is now completely under its control? He sold his soul to the Hotel, but he's not dead yet so he can leave it. 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.

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.

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?

[@derricdueker64]

Rockin' the Oreo slash peanut butter combo.

[@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.

[@stephaniemillay4016]

shinning awesome in my book

[@damiendial3328]

1:56 " That you haven't the belly for it". Thats what pushed Jack towards fulfilling his mission. Once Grady said that there was no stopping Jack.

[@bradsmith0889]

Maybe this isn't part of the idea, but jack became so obsessed with succeeding at this job, as caretaker, that when aggravated, he is pushed to please his new boss, Grady, for the job or killing his family, in pursuit of caretaking the hotel. A mark of insanity for sure.

[@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.

[@snakebagelz]

I really like the thought of jack just snacking on Oreos immediately after trying to bash his wife’s brain in.

[@carloslopezperez7920]

Phillip Stone. For Kubrick. The Shinning 1980. Barry Lyndon 1975. A Orange Clockwork 1971.

[@panagiotisdedes7975]

For the moment Mr Grady.Only for the moment

[@sittingforgetting9907]

danny unlocks it. it isnt a coincidence that jack is trapped in a well-stocked room which he could live in for a long time. danny lets him out because its the only way to truly stop him.

[@guibox3]

No, the ghosts of the Overlook did it so Jack could take care of business and they could get Danny and his power. Read the book.

[@artursabli5966]

​@@guibox3The book is another universe and has nothing to do with Kubrick's version. There are no ghosts. Danny let him out.

[@nepntzerZer]

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

[@giselleacosta344]

No the scariest part in my opinion is the part when the naked woman attacks danny

[@julienmcnicoll7013]

J'en reviens pas de ce film là, quand j'étais jeune j'ai écouté sa sur l'acide tellement c'est un chef d'oeuvre. L'acteur principal est je crois le meilleur acteur que la terre a porté. Analyser les scènes, le moindre petit détail est très important pour ce rendre compte que cette acteur la est unique. Je crois que c'est mon préféré. Aujourd'hui des films comme ça il ne s'en fait plus malheureusement. Quand on écoutait pour la première fois dans le temps, sa rentrait dedans en SVP.

[@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.

[@TreeKharma]

You’re not funny

[@sepultura7771]

You got that right my Nilla

[@socalcraigster]

Grady busting chops!

[@kixcom1]

I need to watch this again.

[@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.

[@Unti1tmrw]

*this movie is so great*

[@Margherita-tf8zn]

I love The Shining! It’s one of my favourite films, and this scene, apart from the axe scene, is my favourite!

[@matthewpafford9669]

Love this movie

[@TtotheCizzel]

I love the "it wasn't demons, it was his mind". As if one makers more sense the the other

[@TheTruth-cy4le]

The answer to who opened the pantry door is Kubrick himself. He did it to introduce a note of ambiguity into his story.

[@windridr66]

If Wendy's going to use up all that baking powder, she better get to baking. The clock is ticking.

[@Laurentiu909]

In other words, the genius of Kubrick in action.

[@mf3324]

he eat some oreos and peanut butter u can see it when he wake up LOL

[@samw5767]

Musical allusion: the incipit of Beethoven's 5th, with fate knocking on the door (4 knocks, repeated)! Love it!!

[@Andrew-gv6br]

I love this scene because it has some parallels with a clockwork orange, (the main character waking up after being knocked out, the camera following the main character to the door, hell even the way the stand at the door is similar).

[@jayburke813]

when grady open that door it was trouble

[@VirreFriberg]

1:07 Heinz product placement

[@djjoe214]

Haha snacks around him when wakes up

[@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.

[@savedbyzero3554]

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.............Mr Torrance......It's AVON CALLING.........!?!?!?!?!?!
