Steven King actually hated this version of the movie. Kubrick took the plot and embellished it, taking it from a movie about child abuse and spousal abuse into cabin fever with supernatural overtones. The line “here’s Johnny” was an ad-lib. Kubrick abused Shelly to re-do scenes hundreds of times to the point of mental breakdown. The kid playing Danny, Danny Lloyd did only this one movie and is now a biology teacher in Lexington Ky. Now you MUST watch the 1997 version because it follows the novel almost to the page! Love your channel! Excited to see what’s next!

Have to mention which are for me the most scariest scenes of ''The Shining''. The first one is when Jack is havin' a nightmare (that was btw an hilarious reaction by Mark!), and then tells Wendy what he actually dreamed. The 2nd one is when Wendy finds out what Jack was writing all those weeks or even months all along, ''All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'', that's just insane, not to mention, unbelievably scary!

"Here's Johnny!" Fun Fact: As he lived in England, Stanley Kubrick was not at all familiar with the "Heeeeere's Johnny" line (from The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962)) that Jack Nicholson improvised. He very nearly didn't use it. Hot Take Fact: There is a great deal of confusion regarding this film and the number of retakes of certain scenes. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the scene where Wendy is backing up the stairs swinging the baseball bat was shot 127 times, which is a record for the most takes of a single scene. However, both Steadicam operator Garrett Brown and assistant editor Gordon Stainforth say this is inaccurate. The scene was shot about thirty-five to forty-five times. Method Director Fact: Despite Stanley Kubrick's fierce demands on everyone, Jack Nicholson admitted to having a good working relationship with him. It was with Shelley Duvall that he was a completely different director. He allegedly picked on her more than anyone else. He would really lose his temper with her, even going so far as to say that she was wasting the time of everyone on the set. She later reflected that he was probably pushing her to her limits to get the best out of her, and that she wouldn't trade the experience for anything, but it was not something she ever wished to repeat.

So many great stories go into the stories that we see on the screen. (probably not great for poor Shelley, but...)

At the end of the movie when you see the old 1921 picture; Jack is in it because Kubrick was suggesting that the present day Jack is a reincarnation of that man. We don't know for sure if that man was a guest or staff but I think he was staff. In the bathroom scene when Grady was talking to Jack, he tells him he's always been the caretaker. I think this suggest that he was once staff. On a side note the old 1921 picture is an actual picture of a party set in the 20's. Jack Nicholson's image was super imposed on one of the guests.

Thanks, Juan! Yeah, and also, I noticed that Jack called Grady a different first name than the one used by the hotel manager in the beginning. Could have just been a slip, but my take on it upon rethinking is that maybe some or all of the people drawn to service at the hotel are reincarnated perhaps.

Someone's probably already mentioned this, but while the book version of the Overlook is based on the Stanley Hotel in Estes, CO, the aerial "drive" to the Overlook is the Going-to-the-Sun road in Montana, in Glacier National Park.

An Insightful and intelligent reaction to a complex classic film. Although I don't often subscribe to his themes, I do recognize Kubrick as a great filmmaker, and "The Shining" (TS) is certainly a masterpiece of cinema. I like it very much even though I'm not a fan of Stephen King or his books. This must be due solely to Kubrick. Well, I also give credit to the actors and the production crew, too. As great as Nicholson and Duvall were in the film, that little boy, Danny Lloyd, really made the movie for me. I think he was five when he started filming TS. For a child that age, he was just outstanding. He himself came up with the finger puppet for Tony, his alter ego. Kudos, also, to Philip Stone and Joe Turkel for being quietly sinister and menacing. I don't want to forget good-guy Scatman Crothers, either. Well-done Scatman. Then there's the Overlook. Not only is it alive, but it is the personification of evil. TS has all the Kubrick touches. All those long hallway and hedge maze shots are one-point-perspective. That's a Kubrick trademark. Also, don't some of those nighttime hedge maze shots remind you of HAL's "eye" in 2001 a bit? They do me. Another characteristic of Kubrick is his focus on intense person-to-person interactions. Yeah, TS has just a little bit of that. Those long tracking-shots as people move about the hotel are another Kubrick trait. The musical score as an integral part of the narrative of TS is also textbook Kubrick. Kubrick was a perfectionist, and that is reflected in his films. For example, background is as significant as foreground. Why does Jack's typewriter change color? Is it because Jack has been transformed? Oh, "All work and no play" goes back to at least 1659. It didn't originate with TS although it certainly fits. Why do bits of the hotel, like the furniture, for example, appear, disappear or move about? Is it because the hotel is alive? The answer is yes by the way. It's definitely not due to continuity problems. Finally, Kubrick always forces the viewer to think about and dissect his films. That certainly happens in TS. As a result, we and Kubrick share in a common creative impulse when watching TS. The film becomes a living thing. Here are a few of the other things I've noticed about TS. The film is replete with mirrors. They're everywhere. Watch how they affect Jack. Are they how the hotel projects its power? A portal of sorts? Do they also absorb power? Are they its eyes as well? Likewise, there are mazes everywhere. There's the obvious hedge maze, but the hotel itself is a maze, and so is the hallway carpet. Early on, Wendy remarks on the need for breadcrumbs, a reference to Hansel and Gretel and the maze-like quality of the hotel. TS is a variation of Theseus and the Minotaur with Danny as Theseus, Tony as Ariadne etc. Wendy also says the hotel is like a ghostship. The hotel feeds off Danny and Jack's shining power and gets more powerful as time passes. The hotel wants Danny dead so it can absorb him and his power. Did you notice all the knives pointed at Danny's head on several occasions in the film? When Hallorann and Danny are talking in the kitchen bits of the conversation were telepathic. Numbers seem to come up a lot in the film. For example, Danny wears a shirt with 42 on the sleeve, the tv with no power cord is showing "Summer of 42," and room 237 is 2x3x7=42. I think Kubrick's wife said "Summer of 42" was one of his favourite movies along with "The Bank Dick." The latter is a great movie with W. C. Fields. I love it when Danny asks Jack if he feels bad. That can be taken two ways as in do you feel evil or do you feel unwell. And, of course, Jack repeats the girls saying forever and ever, meaning I want to join with the hotel in death. Jack does, of course, sell his soul for a drink. Is that why Lloyd the bartender won't take his money? Jack's already paid in-full? The people and things Danny and Jack see are real, but only people with shining can see them initially. On the table next to the typewriter, there's an album with newspaper clippings. It's from those clippings that Jack recognizes Grady. When Jack returns to the ballroom where the 1920s party is going on, a woman walks by him with a bloody handprint on her backside. This is about the time the advocaat is spilled on him. Jack also wipes some advocaat on Grady's back. In the bathroom scene, it's clear Grady's girls also had "the shine" and wanted to destroy the hotel, but they were killed instead and absorbed. Grady himself, probably like Jack, also had "the shine." In the conversation between Jack and Grady, Grady switches between Grady and the entity of the hotel. Jack may also switch with the "caretaker." When Jack and Wendy are being shown their apartment, Jack eyes the two departing young ladies. A sign of his lechery? Ditto the girlie magazine he's reading in the lobby early on. He definitely has a wandering eye. Even early on, he doesn't seem to hold Wendy in high regard. When Jack enters room 237, the carpet there is obviously suggestive of the sex act. Very phallic etc. Sex, in one way or other, features in many Kubrick films. Room 237 is the heart of the hotel. The nude woman represents the hotel seducing Jack. The heartbeat we hear is the hotel's and signals the hotel's malevolent activity and increasing power. We hear it overtly later in the film but weakly earlier when Danny is riding the trike on/off the carpet and when Jack is bouncing the ball. The high-pitched tone indicates "shining" is happening. So, Jack clearly shines, too. He's one of those who doesn't realize he has it. Jack several times in the film exhibits the Kubrick glare or stare, a shot of a man glowering up at the camera from beneath lowered brows, an indicator of danger or madness. You see it in "Full Metal Jacket." When Jack goes on his rant about his obligations to the hotel before Wendy conks him, he's not talking about Ullmann and co. He's talking about "the hotel," the thing that's alive. That's what he's made the contract and sold his soul to. Remember Lloyd the bartender's ominous hotel remarks about the "house." REDRUM is MURDER backwards, and it signifies anti-murder. It's a totem that protects against murder. That's why Danny writes it on the bathroom door. Jack can batter the door, but he won't get in. Danny is also warning Wendy and arming her as a result of his REDRUM recital. The photos are part of the hotel like the typewriter and furniture. When Jack dies, he's absorbed by the hotel and winds up in the 1920s photo. Towards the end, the hotel's evil spirit, the caretaker, may have abandoned Jack to die in the maze. He did fail in his task. That ball in the photo was the same one where the advocaat was spilled. So, he was there in 1921 and he wasn't. Kubrick deleted a final scene from TS. Wendy was in hospital and Ullman was visiting. He told her all was normal (except for Hallorann, I suppose) at the hotel. No Jack. At least, I think that's what I read once. Might be wrong about that. I've watched several reactions to TS, and I'm amazed at some of the observations. Got some beefs. A lot of people don't make a connection between Danny's first vision of the blood elevator, which signifies all the death at the hotel, and his passing out. They disassociate these two events when clearly they go together as the image of Danny's horrified face shows. From the get-go, it's clear Danny can see past events and future events. He knows Jack got the job and is going to call Wendy. He knows he doesn't want them to go to the hotel. He knows the hotel signifies danger. Why don't people notice that Danny's shirt and jumper are torn when he come to the Colorado Lounge after being strangled? Danny's clearly in shock, too. When Danny is foaming at the mouth and Hallorann is having his mini-fit, Danny is clearly communicating with Hallorann there is danger, come and help. How can Wendy be so sound asleep before Danny wakes her? Come on, the poor woman has been on edge for weeks. She hasn't been sleeping well. Now that she's locked crazy Jack up, she literally passes out, thinking they're safe. After Danny slides down from the bathroom window, why are people surprised he comes back into the hotel? It's freakin' cold outside. Do you live at the equator or something? After Jack kills Hallorann and Danny screams, why are people surprised when Danny bolts his hiding place? It's not a hiding place anymore, Jack knows where he is. Anyway, the hotel will lead him to Danny. Danny runs outside because he's actually luring Jack into the maze to meet his fate. Danny is the hero of TS, he's Theseus, who killed the monster in the maze.

Love this video you two, your comedy was so enjoyable. You focused a lot on the cinematography which I can't thank you enough. Part of whybI love this film is just that. Kubrick being a photographer himself always brought his knowledge to cinematography. His camera work transcends most directors because every shot he uses adds to the stories and heightens the experience. If you look at one of my favorite shots, which is when Jack enters the room to see Wendy reading his pages, watch the camera work. It looks as if it's Jack watching her as he creeps in but the camera pans first then we see Jack. It's as if the hotel is leading Jack to Wendy and in fact the hotel is watching Jack as he watches Wendy but the hotel is watching everyone. It adds to the theory that the hotel is alive itself. Which when you mentioned it and then wondered if it's all in Jack's mind adds to the creepiness. Kubrick toyed with those ideas and made it ambiguous which I feel is scarier than what the novel and remake film presented. And of course that ending, still debated to this day the meaning of it. If you two enjoyed this one, highly suggest DOCTOR SLEEP. And you are very right in saying, everyone involved in this film delivers. Actors, writers, music, makeup, special effects, there's a reason why this and films like THE EXORCIST are legendary!

You summed it up perfectly with, "It looks as if it's Jack watching her as he creeps in but the camera pans first then we see Jack.

It's pronounced Stanley Koobrick. You guys got the theories of the movie right. The hotel could be possessed and apparitions or ghosts were the inhabitants of the hotel. And Jack was a reincarnation of the caretaker of the hotel. Delbert Grady wasn't the same person as Charles Grady who killed his family in 1970. Another theory is that the hotel is hell. And another theory is that Jack was having a writer's block and the moment when he started becoming insane was when Jack's story began for his book. It could also be about his nightmare.

You saw the telekenesis powers in Carrie, welcome to “the shine” and telepathic/psychic powers in the SK universe. 8:00 Dick Hallorann is a character that I think Mr. King was pissed that got killed off is this movie. Quite a difference from the book universe. 20:22 in the book, the spirits of the hotel (kinda invoked by Danny) was the real reason for Jack’s insanity. The movies tend to hint it was more a Jack solitude thing. There always seemed to be no blatant or obvious hint towards Danny, but more related to a Jack and his opportuntity to write. There was no clear distinction that Danny truly brought about these spirits to manifest, and it seemed more that this hotel was truly haunted rather than the presence of Danny. Which leads to…. Guess it’s time for Doctor Sleep!

Kubrick tormented Shelly Duvall while filming because he wanted her to be on edge emotionally at all times and he even instructed the crew to never console her when she was upset, in a recent interview she said she had days where she cried for 24 hours. Making this movie is thought to have caused her mental health problems that resulted in her walking away from her successful movie career and she now lives in poverty and is unrecognizable. The kid who played Danny had no idea they were making a scary movie because he was shielded from the scary stuff. The exterior shots where shot in Montana but the rest of the live was filmed in a studio in London England. Kubrick was known for filming scenes over and over like the stair scene that was filmed 125 times, Scatman Cruthers almost didn’t do the movie because he had heard about Kubricks methods but Jack talked him into it and when it came to his death scene he was worried because he was an old man and didn’t think he could do it dozens of times but Jack Nicholson went to Kubrick and got him to limit shooting of the scene to ten times. Conspiracy theorists believe that Kubrick left a lot of clues in this movie that prove he helped the U.S government fake the moon landing, they point out things like Danny’s Apollo 11 sweater and a poster in the games room, there is a documentary on KZfaq about it and they point out all the clues.

Like they're making their stories in previously existing worlds. So it's beyond homage but also not ripping off. 15:05 No one groomed their areas back then.

Jack Nicholson is my no.1 favorite actor. Besides ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' & ''Terms of Endearment'', both one of my favorites (y'all should do a movie watch/reaction together), there are so many great performances by Jack, but other two ''early'' ones are ''Five Easy pieces'' & ''The Last Detail'' (the latter is also one of my favorites, and probably my favorite of Jack Nicholson). Another Stanley Kubrick movie both of you should watch, and most people never mention is ''Barry Lyndon'' it's so beautiful, very emotional (who says Kubrick's movies are so cold and have no emotion?*) and also very funny, even quite hilarious sometimes. (*critics always accused Kubrick's movies lack of emotion). Btw, I got the soundtrack of ''The Shining'' on vinyl. In my first house, I played it with my headphones on, almost in the dark, halfway through it was bit too much for me, had to stop it, put on some more light hahahaha, way too scary! Extra note, never understood that the version over here in The Netherlands (I think even in the UK, and most of Europe) was only 116 min. while the US version is 133 min. Saw that version only one time, some years ago on Dutch tv, and the extra scenes was more about explaining some things imo, that probably some US viewers wouldn't get with the 116 min. version.

Oh my God! That's a lot. I mean it's a great film, so it's hard to argue with the process that went into it, but I think I'd have been like Nicholson. "Yeah, I'm not even reading this anymore lol" And ironically, it was actually his adlib as I understand it, that became the most famous line from the movie. So there you go ;)

Oh I believe it. I remember as late as the 80s, we still had a big ol satellite dish in our back yard pre-cable. So Jack held in there longer than most of us today would considering lol.

Please follow this up with doctor sleep. It is a masterwork in sequel movies. Buy one of your favorites Mike Flanagan. That follows Danny or Dan torrents in his adulthood dealing with and finding ways to overcome his childhood trauma. And controlling his ability. While introducing new characters and an entirely new yet familiar plot Direction

Sounds great to me :) thanks, @Darrington J Reape. Yeah, honestly I had no idea Mike Flanagan had done so much!! Though as a new fan, I'm glad! More to watch.

@@DavidvsFilm I would also like to note that it does a much better job of explaining the deeper subjects that the first movie glossed over. Like yes there are people that have the shine but they didn't really explain how there are things and places that sort of feed on shine and store ghosts and past trauma.. I won't blabber on about it. But it marries the Cinematic and book universes in a much better way
