28:49 Maybe Jack attacked Danny earlier, chocking him to unconsciousness. Then Jack wonders downstairs in a daze. He dozes off, having a nightmare about what just happened. Meanwhile, Danny's oxygen deprived brain hallucinates being attacked by the ghost.

Subbing cuz didn't expect someone to mention George Carlin the icon in a NSO vid.

What makes The Shining “A Masterpiece” - is the fact that The Viewer will always come back to it…time after time after time. It’s almost like The Viewer is also caught up in the web of the Overlook…like we’re just another one of the “spirits” doomed to re-live its horrors. How else can you explain that we all can watch this movie endlessly and never get enough?

why is 2/3 of ur vid analizyng on why the suscriber count of ame is not realistic 😭 the hell

The ghost of the former undertaker speaks to Jack as if Jack is "the owner of the manor" instead of the current undertaker. He appears before Jack dressed as a butler and tell's Jack that he needs to "deal with his family."

all that yapping and you didn't even realize the main point of the game nor the actual story. good job on being the first person on doing that :P

mERCI MR MON HOBBY FAVORI C DE REVOIR SHINING AVEC QQN QUI N L A PAS ENCORE VU

Very nice.. We would love to feature your music on our blog

Shelley is the only actor to have a character arc. Yet critics attacked her acting in 1980. I think straight men are more likely to identify with Jake and agree with his character mocking Wendy . women are mixed in identifying with or hating Wendy. Wendy defends Jack's dislocation of their son's arm to the Doctor. Danny refuses to tell about abuse. If you watch reactors on KZfaq the Shining works as a ghost story or an abusive family story. My take is Jack is molesting Danny and Tony is the way Danny deals with it. Seeing visions of horror while defending and living Jack. Wendy sees the horror visions after accusing her husband of hurting Danny. The theory that the bear man having sex with the old man is a representative of Danny and jack

It’s a simple re birth sequence movie. Just like EVERY single “horror” film ever made. Dick is important character; he was the “christ” sacrifice. This is a basic movie by no means a “zenith” of esoteric writings brought to film. If you can’t get this movie, you can’t get any other movie. But yes, it was filmed and produced at a high level for its time, I will give it kudos for that. And a few very esoteric manifestations that I appreciated.

NO- it's 🚫🙄😒 📺 BTR!

"Man takes a drink. Drink takes a drink. Then, the drink takes a man."

The infamous "stair" scene, has the record for the most 'retakes', it was reshot on camera 127 times & the axe scene, Jack Nickolson had to destroy more than 70 times. Scatman Crothers, rumours also mentioned his kitchen scenes with Danny was shot more than a hundred times. But I am sure, ANY other director, that was satisfied with 3-5 retakes, would have made a movie, which wouldnt still, in 2024, be discussed & analyzed as insanely many times as Kubrick's masterpiece. His small hidden messages & his very strange death, just before the premiere on "Eyes wide shut" + his filming of the fake moonlanding + the 25min of footage, missing when they mixed his last movie. With appearance of members of the Illuminati... But thats a research worth, if it sounds to far out or to much of a conspiracy.....

There's very disturbing image @ 5:50 If look on left of "Danny " i believe it confirms that Jack was sexually abusing Danny because there's a image of Danny or ,(could be a different boy ). However, has the profile of danny giving "HEAD" looks like a "glory-Hole " or is could it be jack"?? "Unbelievably FKN " disturbing!!!! Ive watced this movie like 100 times and I just now noticed that disturbing image WOW!!!!

I've always viewed the booze as metaphorical and indeed ghostly. He mentions a beer for his soul and gets "Jack Daniels" instead. (Lets call it "Jack Danny" for short.) I'm of the mind that the ghosts are real enough and Jack bumping into Dalbert Grady is quite the bridge between psychology and the (malevolent) supernatural.

People seriously need to stop with this Shelley was abused nonsense,Stanley was a demanding Director who didn't take any shit from method actors who overly complicated everything on set,there are other stories of him doing this on other sets with other actors,this claim of abuse is a modern snowflake wah-man are always victims mindset and it needs to stop being blindly propagated in every Shining review,he didn't hit her,shove her or cuss at her,he just was pushing her to give the best performance,that used to be called good directing,it's no abuse,end of the story.

A movie is not just story and characters. These two ingredients are nothing without being intertwined with cinematography, sound, music. While listening to "analyzes" (explanations) of Shining and Eyes Wide Shut I have come to believe that Americans are overwhelmingly fixated with the individual and the core family. Therefore themes, currents that hints (or screams) about something wider like mythology, fairy tales, politics, racism, economy and social power get lost as veils, red herrings that hides, symbolizes or only doubles the central family dramas that already are presented explicitly. But where does that leave the fluid, stalking camera movements in the beginning and inside the Overlook and the maze. Just documenting characters as they move around? The dissonant music with choirs performing something ritual-like? Are these just red herrings? And where does that leave the Gold Room with Loyd, Grady and the elite party, the world of the powerful Jack desperately will become a part of? Where does that leave the fundamental, cold "alien-ness" of the different ghosts? And all the mythological associations with wolves, minotaur, Theseus, werewolves, native American spirits, ghosts, shapeshifters, witches, hags, adventurers? Take all this in and the Shining will be an even richer film.

Just a sidenote, what you said about the woman who “survived” 911, she actually claimed that her fiancé died in 911.

What is their favorite film since 5/23/2020?

When NSO depicts Ame gaining an insane amount of followers really fast, I believe its meant to be a part of the parody elements of the game; Pretty girl gets insane amount of fans and subs because she's pretty. Ame herself explicitly states that she wants people to fawn over her, to be given attention and she *knows* she's pretty. Realistically, its way slower than that, but in the context of the game being both a psychological horror and a parody of streamer culture, I think it works quite well.

The Thing is a great horror film.

I don't know...the REDRUM on the door may have worked in the novel but was groan-inducing in the film. At the end, I couldn't get out of the theater fast enough.

Over the decades, Duvall has said more than once, including in Vivian Kubrick's Making Of, that she and Stanley Kubrick had a productive working relationship and that he did not "abuse" her. He got a bit snippy, and certainly mocked her claim that her hair was falling out in clumps (it wasn't). The subject comes again in the $1500 publication from Taschen, by writer Lee Unkrich, who evidently interviewed her in recent years and she reiterated the claim. This story of the tortured Shelley Duvall is almost as much of an urban legend as Marilyn Monroe's love affair with JFK, based on a jokey "sexy" Happy Birthday rendition at a campaign fundraiser. Also, the movie has ghosts. Source: Stanley Kubrick and Diane Johnson, the screenwriters. Secondary source: Stephen King, who wrote the book upon which the movie was based. It's about ghosts and the boy who has the psychic power to see them manifesting from the past into the present. Of course, if you think there are no ghosts, then Danny's shining (and "The Shining") is complete gibberish. Part of understanding film is understanding the material from which a film might be adapted. It also leads to new insights: what did the director change? What did he keep? Anyway, good luck in the future, and try not to believe everything you hear without researching it more thoroughly.

The You're Distracting Me scene was based on an actual event in Nicholson's life whien he was married to Sandra Knight.

I want to thank you now for deciding to NOT include the racial filth. Also, when you mentioned that Jack knew it would have been Halloran instead of Ullman, you are probably right but also Ullman didn't give a rip, and in the novel Ullman is made out to be a real A-hole

My take on Hallorann is that he sacrificed himself. The hotel was going to claim the boy as the price for Jack selling his soul. The devil takes the role of god here, where Jack is Abraham and Danny is Issac. That makes Hallorann the lamb (the scapegoat). Halorrann's shining would surely have enabled him to know what was in store for him. He is the hero of the film.

I like that you tied ADSR to story structure. And jump scares compared to that. Nicholson doing scary is a natural; if you think about it, his least successful films are of him being a lover or tender. Shining video after video and no one mentions Jack set aside 5 months in isolation for a story outline. Also, Ullman refers to Grady as his predecessor, not a former caretaker.

The only intentional continuity error is when the Gold Room sign says “Cold Room.”

When alleged supernatural occurrences happen in real life, sceptics look for a rational explanation. How one interprets such events depends largely on what one believes. In that sense, the film is similar to a real life occurrence. Some people would take Wendy's account at face value, while others, such as the police, would rule out supernatural causes before determining what happened.

The Shining debunked, it's just a ghost story. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/os94e8R_trq8iJ8.html

I appreciate the analysis taken deeply from face value and combed over everything. Seems like there’s too many vids trying to impose theory over the script and not appreciating the movie for a thorough horror. Good stuff

3X? Woah Woah Woah Slow Down Speed Racer. Kid I have seen it 50 times

18 minutes in, felt like 5 minutes. Watched every second, this is an amazing/ underrated full analysis of the shinning. Just the video I’ve been looking for to help with my strange obsession with this film. 👍🏻

Zzzzzzzzzzz….

This may be the dumbest analysis out of all the dumb analyses I've seen. Congratulations.

Oh no!! Another 'The Shining' interpretation!!!

Aphex Twin...Deepcut... Ha!

…why do you say the woman in 237 is Grady’s wife?? (I know we can’t take the book as gospel for the film, for sure,) but in the novel the woman in 237 is entirely fleshed-out (pun intended) - she has nothing to do w Grady. Either way, I don’t think there’s any implication of her being his wife in the film at all - wondering why you said that.

THANK YOU for giving Shelley the props she deserves - ! People are so hard on her performance, which to me is blasphemous. In a film which demands her to be at the HEIGHT of the most extreme human emotions for half of her screen-time - I find her performance to Be NUANCED, complex, controlled and entirely committed! Where Jack Nicholson is mugging (and - whether you’re on the side of “I love the mugging” or “I hate the mugging” - he IS mugging )- Shelley is grounded in whatever moment Wendy is in. Her Wendy has faced endless criticism for being “weak” , “a misogynist portrayal of a hapless woman” and (IDK why anyone thinks this word even classifies as worthy of being included as critique- but it OFTEN is -) “ugly”. (Err I guess all that is faulted to her and/OR sometimes Kubrick); I could not disagree more. Her Wendy is sharp, intuitive- she bravely fights for herself and her son, as reality slips away from the very few people around her. Duvall was small, she had a high-voice and a very trad-fem demeanor-- those traits do not make her performance WEAK. I think she finds just the amount of fragility you’d expect to see in someone surviving within this (if not ALWAYS abusive-) wildly UNSTEADY marital home. ((ESPECIALLY as a woman, 70s-into the 80’s ; like THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS MISOGYNIST)). In the wrong hands, the film (particularly the violence) could strike far too close to the UNCANNY-GOOFBALL side -dark CAMP -material - but Shelly is so sincerely FEELING, so sincerely desperate for the man she loves to appear from within that monster and prove she is safe!! (which of course we all see she is not) - She keeps those scenes against Jack N, which could be garish and laugh-able-- ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC. Her performance reminds viewers what so many horror flicks tend to forget entirely : that violence has consequences. There’s terror, yes, but also real grief and extreme trauma - the devastating loss of the family unit - ; as Shelley’s Wendy pulls herself thru the film, we watch her slowly realize she’s witnessing the end of life as she knew it ; she watches the death of her own fairy-tale. As Wendy fights to save herself and her son, she slowly accepts and then mourns the life she thought she had; the vision of her sure-future, frozen for all time in that maze. For, certainly (live or die), the world will never be the same - Any mask of safety and trust has been shattered, and (if she gets out) it will take years to fully unpack what the fuq she went through in that hotel - she’ll have to question what it implies abt her entire life/marriage before the Overlook. THAT devastating tragedy , THAT is all in Shelley Duvall’s performance. It’s heartbreak. And I think her contribution is what reallllyyyy lifts the shining up to be just as powerfully-disturbing as it is; YES It’s spooky-ooky-creepy, but HER devastating-realizations elevate the story to Fully-Upsetting. I think she’s the absolute heart of the film (Scatman brings warmth, but is absent for most of it); without her the film could feel soulless. - ALSO, i think she’s goddamned LOVELY.

Shelley Duvall should’ve won an Oscar.

I personally see the shining as a psychological horror about various forms of abuse and how we’re doomed to repeat the sins of our past. I think that most of the “ghosts” we see in the film are caused by the psyche of the characters as they go insane because of the isolation.

Lol, the original Halloween, an honorable mention.

Jack may have suspected Danny was not actually his son. After all, he did, when confessing his troubles to Lloyd the bartender, call Wendy "the ole sp*rm bank."

What's wrong with your accent/voice???

Why do nearly all the "ghosts" in this film appear with mirrors or in doorways framed like mirrors? The only time they arguably don't is the twins in the hallway. But notice how reflective the walls are when we see the girls. In fact, notice how much of the Overlook has reflective surfaces on the walls and floors. Everything's very shiny. It shines. Again, why mirrors/refections? What do we see in mirrors?

great video, interesting insights and speculations. Like the opening theme from the Sopranos says "you have to burn to shine" food 4 thought.

29:15 an alcoholic never forgets where he put the bottle He’s just fighting the urge

oh! forgot... great video!

the detail that shows that all of this is not just in jack's head is when he was left out of the food pantry... how did he get out if it was all in their mind?

25:48 didn't Mr Grady have a british accent or was that another character?
