    This Friday 13th brings my first introduction to Kubrick’s movie direction and I’m definitely still left in the maze! Did everyone else not quite know what was going on! 😆🪓😅 Especially the ending!! What’s everyone’s take on that?
    That being said, I loved the addictive drive to madness, the bonkers hallucinations and Nicholson’s unhinged acting talents. All work and no play makes Jack not so dull a boy!

      Hi! Second reaction seen as a subscriber. Like your stuff! There's a documentary called "Room 237" that offers up many theories about the film. I saw it at the cinema after seeing it numerous times at home, and had to leave the screen for a few minutes as the sound design was freaking me out. The most terrifying film I've seen on the big screen alongside Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the 97 version of Funny Games. The music is by Wendy (formerly Walter) Carlos. The behind the scenes documentary show Kubrick basically pushing Shelley Duvall into having a meltdown. Outtakes from that opening scene were used for the end credits of the original release of Blade Runner. And all the "dull boy" pages were typed by hand. Just some titbits for ya!

      If this is your introduction to Kubrick, then by all means continue the journey. Kubrick is one of my all time favorite directors. '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Barry Lyndon', 'Full Metal Jacket', 'Eyes Wide Shut', etc.

      There's many theories to the ending... personally I think Jack is perpetually reincarnated to be the caretaker of the hotel... or the hotel itself has a way of claiming the souls of the caretakers it depraves.
      Your next Kubrick film should be Full Metal Jacket, my fav. It's a military film set during the Vietnam war.
      All the best to you & your channel.

      Agreed. But also the spooky camera motions, especially the chasing POV shots, the 'shooting over the shoulder' shots, and the creepy trackless tracking shots. This was also the first film to really tap into the potential of the Steadicam. The operator was the Steadicam's inventor, Garrett Brown. Brown saw it as a way to do chases and maybe some special effects shots. It was Kubrick that showed off what it could really do.

      Like many Kubrick films, this one too is very elliptic at times. (See 2001, where hardly a word is spoken.) King's book does a lot more explaining. It's one of his better books. Btw the music is by classic composer Krzysztov Penderecki, mostly bits from De Natura Sonoris and Polymorphia.

    • @Alix777.

      Absolutely, the music plays a very important role in this movie. The creepy, eerie music we hear in most of the Danny scenes (such a good little actor btw) like when he finds the room 237 are extracts from the slow movement of "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta" by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. The music was written in 1936 to...celebrate the tenth anniversary of the chamber orchestra of Basler, Switzerland. So not even for the movie, and it's weird considering how creepy it is and how it fits the scene perfectly. The other compositions we hear throughout the movie contribute to the dramatic intensity of the scenes and are mostly works by the polish composer Penderecki, which are litteraly terrifying and were not composed for the movie either.

    Kate, it's just as Halloran said....the Overlook had absorbed the evils that had occurred within it's wall throughout the years and transferred it to it's occupants. The isolation worked to bring out Torrance's weaknesses and exploit them. Wendy finally saw the horrors towards the end of the film. Great reaction to a very disturbing film. Kubrick was a true genius!

    Kate thanks for another great reaction.
    This is a trademark of Stanley Kucrick, he leaves it open for interpretation to get the audience talking.
    I see it as Jack fulfilling his contract to the Hotel with his soul. The Hotel was haunted and built on a burial ground. Wendy didn't pay attention to the spirits, Jack was sensitive to the supernatural. Danny and Dick lived and dealt with it everyday. As Jack slipped into depression it unlocked the door to the spirits or demons of the Hotel. Jack cracked the door open to the demons by taking from them, first a simple drink at the bar thinking it would help but they wanted something in return, his soul. The more he took, mainly from the bar, the more they wanted. The payment was pain of those around him. Emotional pain in the beginning, physical later and ending in killing and death. By the end when the demons where unleashed even Wendy could see the demons trapped by the Hotel. Jack gave his soul to the hotel. it was absorbed and became part of Hotel forever.
    Thanks again, best wishes and take care until next time.

    The movie came out later, and even I haven’t STILL figured out the meanings in the movie. It’s really not that important.

    Kubrick was a master at creating that emotional tension and that atmosphere of discomfort and suffocation. He also made masterful use of sound as well as silence (details like when Dany is riding the tricycle and you can hear both the carpet and the parquet). As an anecdote, it is also worth saying that the author of "The Shining", Stephen King, hates this Kubrick adaptation. Thanks for another great time with you Kate!😄

The complete opposite of what he does in this movie. (And then he did "Terms Of Endearment" right after that). Great career choices! Jack had a good 80s. And an even better 70s! 😄

    Indian burial ground/vengeful spirit. The hotel wants Danny for itself because he’s so powerful. The evil manifests more and more towards the end so even Wendy starts seeing it. Jack has a predisposition to violence and is easily influenced, so the hotel possesses him to kill Danny. He kills Dick but fails to kill Danny, so it takes Jack instead. That’s why he ends up in the photo. Some say Jack also has the shining due to abuse he suffered as a child (he also abuses Danny) but can’t accept it so he copes by drinking. Kubrick left it open to interpretation. Like all Kubrick films, you can rewatch this countless times and always see something new in it. I prefer the film to the book but the book explains much more. Very different.

    Something important to remember here is that the Overlook itself had become an entity - and could basically absorb psychic energy to produce reality, make no mistake: the “ghosts” in the film were very real, such as the woman in the tub. Stephen King was heavily inspired by a supernatural story written by the author Shirley Jackson called The Haunting of Hill House (which was later turned into an amazing film, called The Haunting, during the 1960s). I very much recommend watching that film and you will see similarities between the Overlook and Hill House in regards to how a location can absorb evil and itself become an overpowering force that can affect the psyche of those too emotionally compromised to withstand them - in this case Jack Torrance. Kubrick did indeed make an amazing thriller here, thank you for your reaction video to it!

    41:37 Jack mocking Wendy by saying "as soon as possible" is definitely one of the funniest parts of the movie. I also laugh every time Jack asks Wendy if she's out of her mind immediately after hallucinating the first scene with the bartender.
    I also think you're right about Jack Nicholson being a little too good at playing a psycho, hopefully he's not a psycho in real life 😅

    One of the best Shining reactions ever. Totally subscribed! Do Kubrick as much as you want! Every movie is completely different from the next; this is the only horror movie he did. He preceded it with an 18th/early 19th century period piece, "Barry Lyndon" and followed it with a war movie. "Barry Lyndon" is gorgeous to look at, like moving paintings. But "2001: A Space Odyssey" (gorgeous sci-fi, like no other movie you've ever seen), "A Clockwork Orange" (dystopian, disturbing and dazzling), "Dr. Strangelove" (black comedy....about nuclear war!), "Paths Of Glory" (devastating anti-war film), "The Killing" (film noir crime caper) and "Lolita" (how do I describe "Lolita"? lol) All worth seeing, all masterpieces. He also got hired to direct a classic Biblical epic, "Spartacus", which he did a great job with. But he had the least control on that one. He was a photographer before he directed and it really shows, every shot of every Kubrick movie is pretty memorable.

    A great film! Jack Nicholson is iconic. RIP Shelley Duvall. She also did fantastic in her role as Wendy Torrance. Kubrick did a great job with this film. The "Here's Johnny" line is in reference to the tagline introducing then host of The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson. He was host from 1962-1992. A very iconic and popular host. One of the greatest household names in 20th century America. Now, if you want to see two great Films adapted by Stephen King films. First, I recommend "Misery" a great 1990 Horror film. Stars Kathy Bates and the late James Caan. Both give Outstanding performances. Kathy Bates deservedly won an Oscar for her role in 1991. Finally, I recommend "Delores Clairborne" a great 1995 King Adaptation. Kathy Bates does an amazing performance again. She stars with Jennifer Jason Leigh, The late Christopher Plummer, John C Reilly, David Strathairn and Eric Bogosian. Great reaction Kate!

    The other being reincarnation, that Jack was indeed *always the caretaker* in past lives..
    Stephen King never liked Kubrick's version, but I personally loved how indistinguishable everything was; it could be the spirits doing everything to corrupt Jack or its mainly Jack losing his damn mind due to cabin fever. Or both...

But no one ever asked him the question before he died, so nothing confirmed. You can find interviews online with Jack Nicholson during the time and you could tell he was a bit annoyed with all the script rewrites Kubrik was doing because the pages were different colors after a rewrite and it was a bit confusing on set.

The theatre was so packed that I had to sit in the aisle (which I agreed to when buying the ticket). Low-frequency sounds were carried through the floor, so that it would vibrate under me whenever Danny's tricycle hit the bare floor. Then silence, then rumbling vibration, then silence. For some reason, I found this genuinely unsettling, which I presume is exactly what Kubrick was aiming for.
    The "TUESDAY" jump scare is one of my favourite parts of the film..! 😄
    This isn't exactly Stephen King's favourite film, as I am sure others have mentioned. A film adaption that he really liked - he was actually moved to tears - is "Stand By Me", a great coming-of-age film (not horror) that I highly recommend in case you haven't seen it yet! That being said, although I can understand King's irritation, I count Kubrick's film as one of my favourite horror films of all time, in spite of my otherwise rather purist views when it comes to turning books into films. 😮

    If you want more of an explanation and resolution of this story, try the sequel: "Doctor Sleep." The music for "The Shining" was by Wendy Carlos, who won a Grammy in the late Sixties for an electronic version of Bach ("Switched-On Bach").

    I read this book a long time ago and have seen this movie a thousand time since. It's interesting, because Stephen King never liked Stanley Kubrick's adaptation to his novel. Never the less Kubrick did a marvelous job with the cinematography, scenery, and camera work; using every modern device available, and created a piece of cinematic art.
    A lot of your questions are answered in the novel, but tbh, it's not really worth diving too much deeper, because in the end, a lot is still left unexplained and up to our interpretations and imagination.
    There's so many things I could remark on, as far as your reaction went, but instead I'll just say this....Best reaction to "The Shining" I've ever seen!! Well done, I really enjoyed re-experiencing it with you. 😊

    You can find your way out of any maze if you stick out one hand (choose either one, but then stick with the choice) and keep it in contact with the wall as you walk along. If you do that, you _must_ eventually find your way out. Think of a rectangular room as a very simple example: if you step into the room and put your right hand against an interior wall and start to trace along the wall, you eventually will find yourself back at the door. Then imagine doing the same in a room of more complex shape, such as a cross-shaped chapel. A maze is the same, just with more corners.

      @@dudermcdudeface3674 , any island has to be isolated. If it's isolated, then you cannot touch it by maintaining contact with the wall (you would have to remove your hand from the wall, move it across the gap that surrounds the island, and then touch the island), so the presence of the island has no bearing on the matter, is no different from the absence of the island. Keeping contact with the wall is a completely reliable way to get out of a two-dimensional maze. An island isn't the wall.
      Think about the 'rectangular room' example. We would not say "There is a little table in the middle of the room, so it's not a perfect solution." The table is not the wall.
      You may say "What if the island resembles the wall and is so big that you cannot immediately tell that it's an island?" In that case, we should start by _marking_ our starting-point on the island (which we think is a wall), knowing that if we find the mark again then it means the 'wall' is really an island and we must try something else to find the wall. Once we are touching the _wall,_ maintaining contact with it _must_ lead us to the exit.

    I'm glad that you enjoyed this film, Kate, I loved your reaction to it.
    To explain a few things as I see them, this is my own opinion others may differ. The hotel was built on the burial grounds of the native American Indians, throughout the years their unquiet spirits have infested the hotel and with the hotels history of bad things happening there has left its mark on the place which some people are more sensitive to, as alluded to by Dick when he was talking to Danny. Both Danny and Dick were aware of these things due to 'The Shining', Jack had his own connection to the place spiritually as you saw at the end in the photograph, as Delbert Grady said to Jack, "You've always been the caretaker here", the ghost of the past inhabit the hotel and can take control of the minds of its inhabitants, eventually Wendy starts being aware of the things which both her husband and have seen and been effected by.

    This was such a fun reaction to watch! I'm not personally much of a fan of the film, or Kubrick for that matter, but this is probably my favorite reaction I've seen to the film. Your analysis at the end was great, as always. One fan theory is that both Wendy and Jack also have the shining, though to a far lesser extent than Danny. This explains why Wendy sees various visions at the end of the film and is a possible explanation for Jack's drinking, as he doesn't know what the shining is or how it affects him so he drinks to suppress it or cope with it.
    Definitely check out the novel. As usual, the novel is better than the film adaptation. Part of that reason is that Kubrick took some liberties with the plot, much to King's dislike. The ending is also entirely different in the novel and actually makes sense. In fact, it's one of King's better endings since it wraps things up well and hints at what was really going on at the hotel without leaving you scratching your head in confusion the way the film does. Personally, I think Kubrick got too artsy with the ending since almost nobody knows what it was supposed to mean and almost nobody likes it. The novel also explains who the woman in the bath was though, in this case, Kubrick probably made it more creepy by not explaining that. Wendy is also a much better character in the novel.
    The sequel film, Doctor Sleep, is actually quite good and you should see that one as well. The writer and director, Mike Flanagan, did a wonderful job with it. Flanagan also has several series on Netflix that I think you'd enjoy too, if you haven't seen them. The Haunting of Hill House is probably his best work, but The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and The Fall of the House of Usher are all fantastic as well. The Haunting of Hill House and The Fall of the House of Usher are "in name only" adaptations of the novel and short story, so even if you've read them the series will be worth watching. All of the series are actually complex dramas with deep characters that just happen to be in the horror genre, so if you watch them don't go in expecting anything cheap or bland or low-quality just because of the genre.

    Outstanding choice for Friday the 13th, Kate. A stellar work from one of the greatest directors of all time, Stanley Kubrick. Every movie he did was so uniquely different than the one that preceded it. He never was attached to one particular genre. This was his foray into horror, as '2001: A Space Odyssey is science fiction. The screenplay was an adaptation from Stephen King's novel.
    While the Stanley Hotel at Estes Park, CO is the inspiration for the book, the movie was not filmed there. Stanley Kubrick built the interior sets at EMI Elstree Studios in the UK. The exterior shots are of Timberline Lodge in Oregon, USA. The set for the Overlook Hotel was at the time the largest ever built at Elstree, including a life-size re-creation of the exterior of the hotel. The Colorado Lounge set at Elstree was badly damaged in a fire, causing a delay in the production.
    There are many cultural references and literary allusions such as 'Hansel and Gretel', 'The Three Little Pigs', 'Big Bad Wolf', the saying 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', and 'here's Johnny', which was a homage to late night talk show host Johnny Carson, as to whenever Carson would start the show announcer Ed McMahon would announce 'here's Johnny' as he entered the stage.
    Great cast including Jack Nicholson, Shelly DuVall, Danny Lloyd as their son Danny Torrence, Scatman Crothers, and Phillip Stone as Delbert Grady, who was Alex DeLarge's father in the great Kubrick film 'A Clockwork Orange.' 'The Shining' was an inspiration for many films that came later which could be classified as 'psychological horror.' The Guinness Book of Records gave the record for the scene with the most retakes in cinematic history to the sequence where Wendy walks backward up the stairs fending off Jack with a baseball bat, at 127 times. Needless to say, Kubrick was highly dedicated to his craft.

Hood at the Timberland Hotel, which is still operating. There is no real hedge maze though, in reality at the Timberline, the hedge maze was actually a fenced off rectangle with green fabric covering the fence and it held all the filming production's equipment and vehicles.

    In "The Shining", Kubrick was very influenced by Alain Resnais's masterpiece, "Last Year at Marienbad". It's set in a labyrinthine hotel, it has unusual camera work, it has a strange atmosphere, etc. It's not a horror movie; it's not scary at all. But it is very nearly a perfect film. Astonishing. And polarizing. People either love it or hate it. I've never met anyone who feels neutrally about it. But if you watch it, watch it more than once.

    You did it! You got through this freaky, freaky movie. It’s a very good film.
    However, I do always feel bad for Shelley Duvall (may she RIP), who plays Wendy. A major black spot on Stanley Kubrick’s film career was that he purposely treated Duvall terribly while filming in order to enhance her sense of fear and anxiety. While it worked, her portrayal of true terror and stress shows not just in her performance, but throughout her whole on-screen demeanor. Therefore Ms. Duvall deserves deep respect for her performance as an actor and the crap she put up with to make this film so memorable and iconic. While Mr. Kubrick deserves the deep knock to his reputation for being a total a-hole while directing his film adaption of Stephen King’s novel.
    As for the novel, it is worth reading. Events play out much differently, so seeing the film doesn’t really spoil the book.

    A few things for consideration, the hotel and Danny are the main cause for Jack's descent into madness. The hotel itself is an evil entity and when Danny arrived his shining ability sort of supercharged the hotel. The scene where Jack goes to room 237 and he freaks out at the reflection in the mirror, that was the last moment that Jack was himself. From then on he was being controlled by the hotel entity. The longer Danny stayed the stronger the hotel entity got as seen from even Wendy seeing strange things toward the end. Given enough time and she would have gone insane as well.

    THE SHINING is a circular psychological horror story about a hotel secluded in the mountains that murders people. It has done so for generations, and the repeating plot is the ever-returning caretaker and his family.
    The difference this time is Danny, the little boy who can see things, the shining.
    In the original script, there's a deleted scene at the end of the movie, after Wendy and Danny's escape, at a hospital, where Mr. Ullman, the manager, offers his house as a place of rest to Wendy. Ullman then throws Jack's yellow ball to Danny as a re-gift, implying that he's part of the terrifying plot.

I thought, as BTO would say, "you ain't seen nothin' yet".😉 When Danny was watching cartoons, right before the "all work & no play" scene, the song on the cartoon said, "if he catches you, you're through". I'm sure that was intentional. You were spot on when you said Jack Nicholson does crazy very well. I can't think of an actor who'd be better suited for that role. Not _ONE._ Great reaction. You were _REALLY_ getting worked up.😂

      The Roadrunner cartoon hour was my favorite cartoon show growing up, particularly because of that theme song.

    21:14 The "Kubrick Stare" shows up in a few of Kubrick's movies.
    Jack Nicholson was a volunteer firefighter before he became an actor. When it came time to chop the doors Jack easily chopped through the doors that were already installed, so the production had to get solid wood doors to slow him down.
    For an absolute Masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick watch, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Written, produced and directed by Kubrick and in it he predicts some things that we have today, video calls and A.I. among them. Also, keep in mind when you watch it that the movie, which features space travel, came out a full year before the moon landing.

    Awesome reaction Kate!!! It was really fun to watch this whole different set of emotions from you but I do hope you're able to put it in the back of your mind so you can get a good nights sleep. You should definitely read the book if you enjoy reading. I love to read and I've always found the books to be better than the movie but that's just me. Take care!!

    Don’t sweat it Kate, Tuesday can be quite terrifying! You really should read the novel it is one of King’s finest works. The sequel Doctor Sleep is well worth the watch. I don’t want to tell you what I think before you read the book and see the sequel. I would hate to spoil your journey. Watching The Shining and Band Of Brothers is some weighty stuff, I hope you have some nice pallet cleansers even if it isn’t for your channel. Sweet dreams till next time. Oh, I am glad you survived I was a bit worried towards the middle!

    The interior of the hotel was created just for this movie. I have been in The Stanely Hotel which is where King got his inspiration for the book. It is nothing like what is shown in the movie. It was not haunted that I or my wife found. It is in Estes Park Colorado next to an entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. We stayed there because one of my cousins was getting married there at the hotel. It is a quite big hotel. My older brother and his friend showed this movie to me when I was about 7 or 8. So it had an impact on me as a child, but I have come to love it.

      The interior was all shot on soundstage in England, but it was based on a real hotel. It is pretty much an exact replica of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park in California. I was there just a few years ago, and it still looks exactly the same. You half expect blood to come flowing out of the elevators!

    I’ve recently bought the 4K disk and I’m going to watch it on my projector this weekend , I’ve not seen this film in about 10 years.
    As soon as I’ve watched the film I’ll be coming back here to see what you thought about it

    Great reaction Kate like always, love this movie. And some fun-facts about this Kubrick masterpiece of cinema that is a adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, Stephen King was "disappointed" in Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining. In 1983, King told Playboy, “I’d admired Kubrick for a long time and had great expectations for the project, but I was deeply disappointed in the end result. Parts of the film are chilling, charged with a relentlessly claustrophobic terror, but others fell flat.”
    In the book, the spooky events are set in Room 217, not Room 237. Oregon's Timberline Lodge, which was used as the hotel’s exterior for some shots, is to blame for this swap. The Lodge’s management asked for the room number to be changed so that guests wouldn’t avoid Room 217. There is no Room 237 in the hotel, so that number was chosen. The website of the Timberline Lodge notes, “Curiously and somewhat ironically, room #217 is requested more often than any other room at Timberline.”
    Danny Lloyd (the child) didn't know he was making a horror movie while shooting The Shining, and to protect Lloyd, who was 5 years old when he made the film, Kubrick told him that they were filming a drama. He didn’t even see the actual film until he was 16. “I just personally don’t find it scary because I saw it behind the scenes," Lloyd later said. "I know it might be kind of ironic, but I like funny films and documentaries.”
    Jack Nicholson improvised the famous "Heeere's Johnny" line. Nicholson is responsible for the only line from The Shining to make it onto AFI’s Top 100 Movie Quotes. While filming the scene in which Jack breaks down a bathroom door with an ax, Nicholson shouted out the famous Ed McMahon line from The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The catchphrase worked and stayed in the film. Keep up the good work.

    While Stanley Kubrick is known for breaking actors (including Shelley Duvall and Scatman Crothers who both considered quitting acting after this movie) he was absolutely gentle with Danny Lloyd. Danny was so divorced from the true story of the movie that he thought it was a family drama until he was 19 when he finally watched the movie.

    THE SHINING was Stanley Kubrick's most commercial film. It was made to cover earlier losses from the movie BARRY LYNDON. Kubrick decided to make a horror movie after the success of THE EXORCIST. Stephen King did not like the movie version, mostly because he didn't understand filmmaking. Kubrick gave the audience one of the most disturbing movies ever. It creeps under your skin, and it does so from the first second to the last one. It never lets up the tension. It's a masterpiece.
