The Shining	comment	The Shining is a 1980 horror film loosely based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. It was directed by Stanley Kubrick and starred Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. Kubrick's collaborator Wendy Carlos returned for the score after A Clockwork Orange, co-composing with Rachel Elkind, although most of their work wasn't retained by Kubrick in the end.Jack Torrance (Nicholson) is a recovering alcoholic writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker for the old and luxurious Overlook Hotel, which every winter becomes completely snowed in. He brings along his wife Wendy (Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd), hoping to make amends with them after accidentally dislocating Danny's arm while drunk not too long ago.As time passes, strange things start happening: Danny discovers he has psychic powers and starts receiving disturbing visions, and Jack shows signs of increasing instability. He had been warned that the previous caretaker snapped and killed his family, but that wouldn't happen again... right?Compared to the novel, the film is much more minimalist in its storytelling approach. Most aspects carried over from the original book are stripped down to their bare essentials, not only resulting in a radically different kind of story than what King wrote, but creating a persistently unsettling atmosphere, as very little is explained.Although it achieved decent commercial success at the box office, the film was seen as a critical disappointment at the time of its release, notably and infamously receiving two Razzie nominations for Worst Director (Kubrick) and Worst Actress (Duvall), as preposterous as it may be to believe now.note Duvall's nomination was rescinded on March 31, 2022 following revelations of Kubrick's extremely demanding and abusive treatment of her on set. The film's most notable detractor was Stephen King himself, who hated it for the numerous alterations and creative liberties Kubrick took with the film compared to the events of the novel, to the point that he would choose to write and produce his own more faithful adaptation of the book as a TV miniseries in 1997.However, these days, The Shining is near-universally regarded as a masterwork of horror cinema, and has become one of the most influential, widely discussed, and widely referenced films in the genre's history. Even King himself would eventually come around to regard Kubrick's film as good on its own merits, but would still consider it a poor adaptation of his book, a consensus generally shared by King fans and Kubrick fans alike.In a serious case of either Tempting Fate or Paranoia Fuel, The Shining is screened every year at midwinter for those "wintering-over" at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, alongside The Thing. The Stanley Hotel in Colorado — which inspired King's novel — has a channel on their cable TV that plays the film twenty-four hours a day.Some interpretations of the film's themes are explored in the 2012 documentary Room 237.After nearly 39 years, the film received a direct sequel in the form of Doctor Sleep.Not to be confused with the Shining Series of video games.

Danny quickly realizes what is going on and back-tracks through his own footsteps to throw Jack off the trail. He then follows Jack's footprints in reverse to quickly escape from the maze. Wendy jokes about having to leave a trail of bread crumbs to find her way around the hotel.

The Shining / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: Roger Ebert argued that what makes the film so disturbing is that all of the main characters might be examples of this — the audience is never given unambiguous evidence that any of Jack's, Wendy's, or Danny's perspectives are objective and accurate. Ebert did, however, note that this trope could only go so far, citing the film's original ending as bringing up too many unanswerable questions to the point of shattering the Willing Suspension of Disbelief. Kubrick excised this ending after the world premiere, a change that Ebert consequently felt was for the best.

The Shining / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
The Shining / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: In the book, Jack is a loving husband and father, and the text shows his struggles with his inner demons (alcoholism and trouble with anger management) in a very sympathetic light, in turn making his descent into madness quite tragic. In the film, his seething resentment of his family is played up a hundredfold, and though he's still terrified of the effects the hotel is having on him and he's weighed down by his past abusive behavior, he's far more defensive of his actions and never takes any responsibility for them. It's also implied in the film that Jack may be racist, not hesitating to parrot Grady's use of the N-word and possibly even being convinced to attack his family specifically because Danny called upon the black Hallorann for aid. This severely dilutes the positive traits and the struggle against evil of his character, making him more of a Villain Protagonist.

In fact, much of the film's deviations were for the sake of making something that could actually be pulled off in live-action, with the later miniseries demonstrating that even over a decade and a half later, it's still not a book that can easily be adapted straightforwardly in a visual medium.

The book explains just where Danny's imaginary friend "Tony" comes from, who the dead lady in the bathtub is, and who the person is in the dog/bear costume delivering a blowjob. The film keeps these elements but dispenses with their explanations. Kubrick does not use the novel's climax— exploding boiler destroys the hotel— but still shows the boiler in a couple of scenes. Jack wears a Stovington Prep shirt in a few scenes, which is the school he gets fired from in the book.

As if Danny exiting the maze, reuniting with Wendy, and escaping the hotel while Jack freezes to death in the maze wasn't enough, the film hits you with one last image: a picture of the July 4th hotel ball in 1921...that has Jack in it. Ironically, it's one of the few things that Kubrick confirmed about the film: it's meant to imply that Jack, like Delbert Grady, was a reincarnation of a former official at the Overlook and that the evil powers inside the hotel reclaim souls in order to sustain their own powers.

The Shining / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: While the movie departs from the book quite a bit, it can stand on its own. In fact, much of the film's deviations were for the sake of making something that could actually be pulled off in live-action, with the later miniseries demonstrating that even over a decade and a half later, it's still not a book that can easily be adapted straightforwardly in a visual medium. Room 217 from the book becomes 237, as the hotel the Overlook was based on asked them to use a room number that didn't actually exist. Depending on how you look at it, that could just make it more creepy... The replacement of the topiary animals with a hedge maze was done in part to avoid a potential Special Effects Failure, but the maze also fits in well with the labyrinthine nature of the hotel's interior.

But when Jack enters it, it senses a ready-made victim, slowly coming awake and revealing itself to him, its presence becoming strong enough to take over Jack's mind completely, and begins to slowly destroy Danny's unprotected mind. When it fully awakens at the very end, powered by Jack's murderous insanity, even Wendy, neither clairvoyant nor insane, can see the horrors erupting all around her. She and Danny ultimately escape— but Jack is swallowed up by it at the end, as indicated by the 1921 photograph. Forever, and ever, and ever...

The Shining / int_a6bd04e0	comment	Rule of Scary: Much of the score is modernist classical music that sounds terrifying in context. What makes it this trope is that much of the score wasn't actually written to be scary. For example, a piece that begins with a loud mechanical clattering sound, followed by indistinct murmuring and shouting, which first appears when Dick Halloran is murdered and Wendy starts to be able to see the ghosts in the Overlook too, is the opening of the second part of Krzysztof Penderecki's "Utrenja- Ewangelia", a piece of liturgical music. That ominously murmuring crowd of voices, which many viewers interpret as the voices of the indigenous people whose burial ground the hotel was built on, are actually rapturously declaring the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the salvation of the world! Another Penderecki piece used in the film in multiple scenes, "The Dream of Jacob", is only an audio picture of the idea of a staircase extending to heaven and angels climbing endlessly up and down. The pieces are simply so abstract that out of context they function to heighten the Surreal Horror of the film despite depicting benign holiness in their original settings.

Stuart Ullman's office has a nice big window in the middle of the building; the Colorado Room has multiple floor to ceiling windows with a mystery hallway behind them. The hotel interiors have nice right angles while the outside doesn't. The freezer flips sides of the hallway between shots. There are doorways to rooms that would overlap other rooms, the hotel exterior, stairways, or elevators. The establishing shot of the hotel contains no trace of the hedge maze, which also changes layout between scenes. The Gold Room doesn't seem to connect to any other part of the hotel, and nowhere on the outside of the hotel do we see where the Overlook might be hiding that massive ballroom. Stanley Kubrick being Stanley Kubrick, it's extremely likely that this was all done on purpose for dramatic/disorienting/horror effect. And indeed, it's really freaky following the Torrances through the empty, labyrinthine hotel and feeling that something's not quite right and you're being misled...

The Shining / int_c3ae004a	comment	Re-Cut: When the film premiered, it had a final scene in which Ullman visits Wendy and Danny at the hospital and explains that Jack's body could not be found. About three weeks into release, Kubrick ordered this scene excised from all prints. Kubrick then trimmed an additional 30 minutes of footagenote parts of Jack and Watson's meetings at the hotel, Danny being attended to by a doctor after blacking out from Tony's psychic projection of the Overlook Hotel, alongside an exchange between Wendy and the doctor where the former talks about how Jack once dislocated Danny's arm while drunk, parts of Hallorann's attempts to get back to the Overlook after being psychically contacted by Danny, multiple dialogue sequences at the Overlook, and Wendy discovering skeletons and cobwebs drenching the Grand Lodge during the climax for the film's European theatrical release. This shorter cut, which was his preferred version of the film, is also used for PAL video releases (Japan got the US cut).

On top of that, she turns into a rotting, old corpse-woman who cackles and reaches out for Jack in the creepiest manner possible! The shots of her fully naked are inter cut with shots of Jack's smiling, psychotic face, which would be a real mood killer even if the scene wasn't already creepy.

Wendy is introduced reading The Catcher in the Rye. Wendy watches Summer of '42 on TV, and later Danny watches Road Runner cartoons. Before breaking the bathroom door, Jack quotes the Big Bad Wolf from The Three Little Pigs, and says, "Honey, I'm home!" from I Love Lucy.

The Shining / int_cb70651c	comment	Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The film is more ambiguous towards the supernatural aspects of the story. However, the titular "shining" is equally effective in both the film and the book, warning clearly of danger seconds before the axe hits the bathroom door. In fact, besides the shining itself, there are only a few events in the film that directly imply supernatural intervention: the bruises around Danny's neck, Grady unlocking the pantry door, Wendy's vision of the tidal wave of blood coming out of the elevators, and, of course, the infamous final image of Jack in a picture from 1921. Even then, it is still possible, according to some critics, to interpret the supernatural elements as hallucinations of a family slowly going insane from cabin fever.

The scene with Hallorann navigating the empty lobby, since we know Jack is coming for him but the place is empty and silent. Eventually, Jack emerges from behind one of the pillars and whacks him dead with an axe.

Apparently, even Shelley Duvall and Stephen King complained about this, but Kubrick wanted a traditional, scared character to add more horror to the film. He also believed that a more confident woman probably would have already left an alcoholic husband who had dislocated their four-year-old son's arm.

Later, while bitching to Lloyd the Bartender, Jack says that the dislocated shoulder incident had happened three years earlier. It's possible that Jack could be mis-remembering or exaggerating to make himself seem more sympathetic to Lloyd. Also, when talking to Lloyd, when taking his first drink, he says: "Here's to five months on the wagon, and all the irreparable harm it's done," calling to mind how Wendy said Jack had stopped drinking when he hurt Danny, yet just a moment later, he makes the "three years" comment. It may have been to show just how much Jack is losing it, that he can no longer correctly recall important things like that, and can only focus on his desire for alcohol.

Interpretations have come to conclusions commonly fitting under the ideas that Jack has been absorbed into the hotel along with all the other ghostly "guests" in the picture, and that the Jack we see in the movie is a reincarnation.

Some of these passes are so quick and casual that they're only visible for a single frame each, while others are more drawn-out, such as during Jack's conversation with Grady and his attempt to convince Wendy to free him from the freezer. The exact meaning of the practice is never explained, but it adds onto the film's persistent sense of dread by implicitly muddying the boundaries between the viewer and the story.
