That's because he's a reincarnation. The old part of him in that photo from 1921 at the end is taking over him, that's why he doesn't think anything of it.
@@TheBlackLodger lmao. That was funny. But he means he wouldn't mind going to parties or clubs that play this music and there are some places where they play waltz,Swing or soft music like this that you can do the foxtrot and dance on the floor.
Same. If this followed the book more closely, then this ballroom scene would’ve been extended showing Jack dancing with a female ghost, the dogman, who only makes a cameo later on in this, performing for the guests, and his partner ordering the guests to “Unmask!”.

frank puma I've never had any doubt what the interpretation of the '1921' group photograph is all about , what goes around comes around i.e. re-incarnation.
frank puma I take your point. I should have extrapolated more. I never accepted the REALLY weird supposition, that we came back as raindrops, leaves on a trees and all that dippy Hippy crud. But, as other people, or, same people, but in other times and places. PLUS--unknowingly, being on a endless time loop, that maybe has that 'fork in the road' element,i.e. as depicted in the film ' Sliding Doors'. There is no scientific proof of course--not yet, but if you are aware of a British TV series from the 1980's called 'The Bloxham Tapes', where people under hypnosis regressed to a time and, most particularly, places and events, they could NOT have known about ( and proven so) it would at least, open your mind to the possibility.
“Your money is no good here. Drink up Mr. Torrence.” one of the most haunting lines I have ever heard once finding out what truly is going on in this scene.
I smell only arrogance and power. Like i've got some new sh*tty upper-class Boss who scorn me by sneering at my very existence which i've earned and have only earned by "money". Seems he can look down upon me merely by my identity, and he obviously has one *nobler* than me. Capital malfunctions here. Sad. Damn feudalism.
In the first ballroom scene, Jack said "I Would Give My Soul For A Drink Right About Now." and that's Exactly what happened. The ghosts gave him bourbon on the rocks and He made The Trade, FOREVER
steve froyler Wendy accusing him of hurting Danny is what pushed him over the edge. Then he traded his soul for a drink. Then the talk with Grady in the bathroom is what seals him to try to kill his family
@@railimarotto2561 yeah this is more psychological, it really gets in your head and makes you question and think so much. It's my favorite film of horror personally
I love this scene. Whenever I think of the 1920s, I tend to think of it in black/white, because of the photos of the era. I always forget that it was a world of color, as it always HAS been throughout history. The music is haunting, and really adds to the scene.
Trivia: Kubrick told the guests not to move any cutlery or drinks to reduce the ambient noise - giving it a less natural aura. Mad attention to detail.
There's so much things I love about this scene, the song playing in the background, the ballroom, the glamourous 1920's costumes, the dancing, and the sophistically drinking and smoking. And when they get to the bathroom, you can still hear the music playing, and the people clapping, which makes it very ghostly and creepy, but beautiful and nostalgic.
Jason Matthew Thank you kindly. I'm not an actor or anything. Yes, I like cinema very much, and particularly these sorts of movies that take place in these time periods.
@manlyman1393 This scene along with the film as a whole take new meaning after the pandemic with isolation and the health implications that accompany it recently being declared a national health emergency by the surgeon general. In that context it isn't so much about the supernatural as much as coping with extreme social deprivation.
The critics didn’t like his “mugging” because it’s a sign of bad acting, but Kubrick instructed Jack to do so to push a plot point. Jack is crazy before his interaction with the hotel. The hotel uses these types of damaged personalities for its own evil desires.
1:58 I like how Lloyd leans forward slightly aggressive at this point to force the believe on Jack that he shouldn't overthink things. It's the only little bit of emotion you see in his character during the film, almost as if the hotel had a slight bit of doubt if they could 'convert' Jack.
This is by far my favorite scene in the shining! Just everyone in the 1920s evening clothing, the dancing, the art deco lounge, the eerie 1930s music, the mood, it is all so perfect. It brought me right back to a celebration of the wealthy in the roaring 20s. French kiss
I love how I'm always noticing different lines and connections in this movie. Jack says "been away, but now I'm back" and "it's good to be back" I feel like there's hidden meaning behind those words. It's not just that he's back at the bar since the last time, but that he's back at the party from the 20s. So many puzzles in this movie!!
+Jessica Davis I head that the bartender is refering to Jacks ancestor hence he only calls him Mr. Torrence and not Jack, also Delbert Grady being ancestor to Charles Grady. Probably wrong but just a theory.
+Jessica Davis Read an interesting analysis that suggests there really are no supernatural goings on-that its really all just delusions conjured by Jack's own disturbed mind, and also by his wife and son as they snap under the stress of being with him.
+jackalmanic Woah, you're totally right. Because there's an implication that the hotel is basically alive, so it's like from the house (hotel) itself. Awesome
+Dylan Downs While it does seem like a stretch on a few points, it was still interesting. Something the author pointed out that I never noticed was that during the scenes where he talks to Lloyd and Grady, he is facing toward a mirror-as if implying that he's talking to his reflection and that these conversations are actually happening entirely in his head.
Hard to believe the entire hotel is a set. Kubrick took over most of Elstree studio's soundstages and had all the sets built at once and of commercial grade materials to last the 46 week shoot. He wanted to film in real time order, so every set had to be up and ready to use at any moment. The "Gold Room" was built inside at pre-war Zeppelin hangar, hence the vast size and high solid ceiling.
I expect the Hanger you mention is one of two at Cardington in Bedfordshire UK. I've driven past these monster hanger's many times. One is used for Fire testing equipment, the other is used for film sets. Probably where the real James Bond gear is tested.
Very interesting. Hangers are often used for larger-scale sets, quite often when it's the interior of homes or other buildings, but it's very rare to rebuild a set as large as the Gold Room.
Sorry to say that this information is completely wrong. Total fiction. The Gold Room was built in a huge shed (not a sound-proof stage) at Elstree Studios. Nothing to do with Cardington. I think there are some crossed wires here with the fact that Kubrick used one of the Cardington sheds in 2001.
There's nothing creepy about the Music from the 1920's-40's the music is very elegant and much more relaxing to dance to the melody. There's nothing like dancing to this music with your love one to this kind of music.
Ever since I sobered up, I've looked at Lloyd as the personification of Jack's alcoholism. All his actions and lines are those of an addict who has given himself permission to "slip." People in recovery often characterize the disease as thing, always in wait for that lapse in judgement and serenity. Joe Turkel"s "Lloyd" became mine, patiently waiting, ready to tell me a drink will fix everything and taking me to hell itself.
This is one of the best comments I've ever read for a movie clip. (And I've read a LOT of those.) I'm glad you've overcome your addiction, and that analysis of Lloyd was brilliant.
I was sober 23 years and decided to drink again during covid. Now it's 2024 and I have maybe one drink a month. I do t have a problem with it and don't see it as a relapse. I'm fine
It always amazes me the small details in this movie, that if you blink you will miss it. A great example is starting at 2:23, the woman in the dress has what looks like a bloody hand print on the back of her dress.
This movie is so perfect. The way you can tell the ghosts are ghosts, not because they’re transparent or anything like a classic ghost would be portrayed as. They just stare without blinking and their speech is slow and calculated at times… this scene in particular feels as though time is frozen and all the ghosts are looking at him like the caretaker has returned, or that they’ve seen him somewhere before. Time is frozen, but lost. Absolutely genius.
It's so creepy. The contrast between the pleasant ballroom atmosphere and the underlying theme of insanity and murder. Are the guests just ghosts? Is this all going on in Nicholson's head? Or was he transported back to 1921? Nicholson is amazing. Here he is at the peak of his career. No other actor could pull this off.
+Ron Ford Ghosts were real that turned Jack insane. The ballroom photograph at the very end suggests the reincarnation of Jack....according to the filmmaker, Kubrick
In the book they’re ghosts and so are they in this film adaptation. I mean, who opened the pantry door for Jack? Also Kubrick himself confirmed in an interview that the ghosts weren’t in Jack’s head. If so, then how could Danny & Wendy also see the ghosts? And why would the ending be the only supernatural element in the whole movie? Seems off if that was the case.
@@Tusc9969 Yes, but I think this movie lets place to many interpretations. You can say that they are ghosts, or just visions... aswell as in any similar episodes in the movie. Kubrick also said "it´s just the history of one man´s family quietely going insane together"
His acting was crazy good. Having remembered only that Jack has a conversation with someone at the bathroom I was sure it's going to be him because of how ominous and mysterious he is and an assumption they wouldn't waste a great actor like that just for Jack ordering a drink.
The unblinking smile from Lloyd has so many undertones of menace beneath the surface it's unsettling. The literal 'wolf in sheep's clothing' waiting to devour. The entire 1920's setting (a decade of excess and vice) just adds to the layers of subtle unease and evil bubbling just below the surface of gaiety.
Absolutely love the music in this scene. 20s-60s is the golden era of music. For anyone with a more sophisticated taste - the name of this song is Midnight, the Stars and You by Al Bowlly.
Al Bowlly - the greatest singer of his time(Yes, I am a fan) - died in an air raid over London on April 17th, 1941 - but not before recording well over 1000 songs, there still may be more out there
Right before Lloyd shows up you can hear jack saying, "I'd sell my goddamn soul for a glass of beer". Then enters Lloyd, a man dressed in a red tux, and separating Lloyd and Jack from each other is the long rectangular light on the bar. This could be symbolic of him peeking over into the afterlife or wherever 'the devil' and these ghosts might be.
+TheKingpinChemist I was just noticing another effect that bar had during that scene--it makes Lloyds eyes light up so creepily. If that was planned, it was a very smart choice (and hearing how attentive Kubrick was to so many details, it very well have been).
today's films are so annoying, the visual techniques are all jerky, lots of sudden loud noises and quirky camera work, adolescent mentality, same kind of music, slapstick horror.
As much as i agree that this is fantastically well made, there are some good films made today if you can find them. The Babadook mentioned above was a 2014 film, from an Australian Film-maker. Really authentic moving story, no jump scares and a great chill factor to it. Just look under the surface a bit and there is a gem every so often.
Solid State I agree. Today's directors think the average movie viewer has an attention span of 5 seconds. Oh yeah---and be sure to create lots of booming ear splitting noises. Compare all that to the subtleness of this sequence. The ghostly quiet music, the long slow shots of Nicholson moving down the hall, the exquisiteness of the set itself, the deceptively bright lighting....all of these make The Shining an enduring classic.
1:58 is probably the closest Lloyd gets to being conventionally scary, and frankly that’s why I find him to be the scariest ghost in the Hotel. He’s not one to raise his voice or spook you, he’s the devil on your shoulders telling you to drink.
FACT: In the final Gold Room sequence, Kubrick ordered all the people who are in the ballroom to only mime (pretend) their expressions to make the scene feel like Jack is stepping away from the 70s to the roaring 20s.
My favorite scene of this elegant movie... One of my favorite psychological Horror movie of all times! Wish they made this genre still so meaningfull, yet so obscure today..
@@WeWantYouToStay oh, and don't forget The Blair Witch Project (1999) which was an excellent psychological build-up without ever revealing the 'monster'..
It was pure coincidence when I first popped a benzo while drinking some Jack Daniels on the rocks and watching this amazing film. Now I also do love this classic scene.
Never noticed until now how he shows zero anger when a stranger douses him in Advocaat, yet becomes completely unhinged when his kind wife interrupts his work by asking how he's doing.
The astonishing brilliance of this film is hard to even comprehend, decades after it was originally made. The thing that strikes me most is how Kubrick defied all expectations at every point in the film. A lesser director would have done something really pedestrian, like transitioning from the shot of a full ballroom to a shot of an empty room with just the main actor in it talking to essentially himself. But the way this is composed, it actually mirrors the psychological process of losing one's grip with reality. And what's more, it is so easy to imagine that in a similar position, anyone might actually lose their grip on reality. There isn't a single person alive who, faced with this situation, wouldn't at least run the risk of losing their mind. I think the pandemic and having to stay home in isolation for so long gave us all a newfound appreciation for how damaging isolation can be. And the tiniest details that are almost imperceptible, such as the fact that he did not actually have a bar snack in his hand when he went to "eat." I'm not even a horror fan, but I'm just in awe of this film. I watch it every so often just to marvel at its brilliance as a piece of film-making. I have heard that Stephen King did not like this film, because it doesn't necessarily follow the book. But I felt it captured the essence of what made the book horrifying when I read it. The Shining is the one book that scared the hell out of me, to the point where I was actually finding myself afraid and my heart was actually pounding when reading it. I've never had that experience with another story.
Kind of funny how in the modern day we imagine those 1920's parties as being some sort of high class affair. Based on some stories I've heard, only the ancient Romans were worse in their levels of decadence and depravity.
Tywin Lannister example: when we see speakeasy parties depicted in media, we see people in fancy clothes sipping cocktails, looking high class and sophisticated. Left out is the commonality of drugs, even back then. Also theses orgies where people would couple with anyone-male or female. And in fact, in the underground culture of the time, homosexuality and bisexuality where pretty much an open secret.
I love how Grady spills the tray onto Jacks jacket kinda unnaturally *Almost as if he WANTED to do it and have an excuse to go a remote place with him*
Lonnie Booth well seeing the year this came out that might have been to hard to do seeing how they had to work on other most important aspects of the movie but i agree it would have been even more eerie
@@mr.chrisr-c3767 hey man shit, I never got notifications of replies and I can;t remember making my comment haha. Wow 7 years ago. Totally agree, they didn't have the technology back then I don't think.
That eerie song is sung by a guy who was killed by a mine bomb during the London air raids. Very sad Al bowlly. Ties in with the whole ww2 theory. The war to end all wars unbelievable.
Something weird is going on here. Take a look here on UA-cam at some other "the shining ballroom scene" clips. In the other video clips of this scene I don't see the lights go down and up as Jack approaches and then steps away from the bar. In the other clips, the lights just stay the same intensity throughout the scene.
It's a shame that something like that doesn't exist anymore. I would love to visit just such a location. Just as big, just as sophisticated, just as unique ... Simply fantastic!
The hotel they used for the idea of the inside is in California a little while from Fresno. The lobby, the set up is identical as for the gold ballroom may have been Hollywood and was built
SOMETHING NOBODY HAS NOT NOTICED YET: THE SPECIFIC USE OF LIGHTS. Notice the blinking lights and their significance. Everytime the lights switch on, it is a sign that something important is just being said or happening. 1) Jack comes into the ballroom, it lights up. It came into "existence" again, just like it was in the 1920s. 2) Jack wants to pay and the lights go up again because Jack is an alcoholic and just "lit up" with happiness that he is going to have a drink again. 3) Lloyd tells him "no charge" and the lights turn off, just like Jack´s mood. 4) "Orders from the house?" Jack is suspicious. Because it is "orders LITERALLY from the house, the haunted building. Lloyd does not exist, the house set him up there with the rest of the crew and guests to be an illusion that would fool Jack into doing what he is supposed to do (to his wife and kid). 5) "I´m the kinda man who likes to know who´s buying their drinks, Lloyd!" Now Jacks KNOWS there is something fishy, and the lights flash again. 6) "Anything you say, Lloyd!" Jack officially resigns, signs off, gives in to his alcoholism and his old habits, and the lights flash again to note us of it. 7) Jack dances in the illusion-filled room, giving into his hallucinations or the house´s illusions... and so on, and so on. And then he meets the waiter who used to be the caretaker. And we all know what he had done in the past and what he is about to tell Jack.
this is literally my favorite scene of anything i’ve ever seen and will be. this scene makes me so happy its so cool. i think about this scene on the daily.
The arrangement with the background actors in this scene is masterful. You can watch this scene over and over and over again and see how on-point every single background extra is. Love it!
One of the great atmospheric scenes in movie history. First time I saw this scene (in high school) I had a rush of feelings. Nostalgia, excitement of the beginning of a party, longing for days gone by. Hard to explain it.
As someone who lives near Chicago, this scene makes me so wish I could relive a 1920s themed party in a ballroom!! Not like modern day “parties.” Even if I go to the city at night, the nightlife just isn’t the same. We need to bring this back. NO smartphones! Just real people socializing! *Sigh*
One of the best film scenes of all time - creepy, nostalgic, beautiful, haunting - and the Al Bowlly music just sets the scene. Lloyd the Barman is totally unnerving - that unblinking stare!
I watched this movie when it first came out, I was 6 years old, I remembered fragments of it, my Mother called it the most terrifying movie of all time!
2:16 I always loved this part where Jack does a little dance. I have no idea if this was improvised or not but its genius. The whimsical dancing to Al Bowlly's "Midnight, The Stars and You" makes the scene all the more uncanny and fever-dreamish. Even so the rest of the ball room scene to me is one of the most surreal scenes in cinema. The fact that Jack Torrance was either hallucinating this entire scene or there were actual ghosts makes this so disturbing.
The creepiest part is how when Jack enters the Gold Room he takes it for granted that it's full of people in the 1920s.
,,and he's wearing his 70's clothing with jeans,,,lol
That's because he's a reincarnation. The old part of him in that photo from 1921 at the end is taking over him, that's why he doesn't think anything of it.
I feel happy for him
My guess is everyone in the ballroom sees him wearing a tuxedo as he appears in the 1921 photo.
Probably because they look like they're in Halloween costumes and not in historically accurate pieces
To me, its the music that sells this scene. Ghostly and empty. And it continues to the bathroom where it gets even creepier.
Whtxombi the caretakers empty bliss and beyond was inspired by this scene, I say give it a good listen
@@LittleFishChan I third this. Also, if you have 6 1/2 hours spare, Everywhere at the End of Time is best experienced in one sitting.
You dont notice it until you listen to this song watching photos of people who are already dad only than you see how ghostly this is
The music is called midnight the stars and you
I do like the music here, but the piece wasn't published until 1934, whereas the scene is in about 1920.
This is the kind of place I'd like to be at night
Partying with the ghosts, huh? XD
@@TheBlackLodger lmao. That was funny.
But he means he wouldn't mind going to parties or clubs that play this music and there are some places where they play waltz,Swing or soft music like this that you can do the foxtrot and dance on the floor.
I’d like to be alive back when people did stuff like that
It would’ve been wonderful to get all dressed up like that in the 1920s, now all we got is lil jon and drunk club morons lol
Ok u be u I'm gonna stay safe at home
I wish the scene was longer, before they went into the bathroom. I want to see more of the party. It just has this eerie feeling to it.
SAME HERE....looked like he could have got up to a lot of mischief in that party especially when he started doing that little dance.
Like what? he couldn't just mess about while covered in ''AdvaCARD''--''Yes, Advocar sir''.
Same. If this followed the book more closely, then this ballroom scene would’ve been extended showing Jack dancing with a female ghost, the dogman, who only makes a cameo later on in this, performing for the guests, and his partner ordering the guests to “Unmask!”.
If you really look, hes in the back of the room passing by as a waiter so he s in the scene twice

Just to think he is really all alone in this scene. Creepy..
I never understood the ending when Jack Torrance's face is shown in a photograph dated 1921.
frank puma I've never had any doubt what the interpretation of the '1921' group photograph is all about , what goes around comes around i.e. re-incarnation.
re-incarnation your a different person all together correct? He looks exactly the same from 1921. Has to be more to it than just re-incarnation.
frank puma I take your point. I should have extrapolated more. I never accepted the REALLY weird supposition, that we came back as raindrops, leaves on a trees and all that dippy Hippy crud. But, as other people, or, same people, but in other times and places.

Actually 1930s. Depression era. 1921 would be the song "Make Believe"
checkout "the caretaker" then
@@DieReweEmskirchen a song or a movie "the caretaker"?

Yeah, that was a funny choice of words.
My orders from the house is to give you free booze. Your orders from the house Mr Torrance, is for you to kill your wife and son
Snake, infiltrate the Overlook Hotel and eliminate Jack Torrence!
Your money is no good here , literally too
Do you belive love can bloom on a battlefield ?
There's so much things I love about this scene, the song playing in the background, the ballroom, the glamourous 1920's costumes, the dancing, and the sophistically drinking and smoking. And when they get to the bathroom, you can still hear the music playing, and the people clapping, which makes it very ghostly and creepy, but beautiful and nostalgic.
How true my dear...
Yes indeed!
I'm guessing you are an actor or somehow very intrested in cenima my dear .. That described the scene perfectly
Jason Matthew Thank you kindly. I'm not an actor or anything. Yes, I like cinema very much, and particularly these sorts of movies that take place in these time periods.
I totally agree! This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.
Not all the guests are moving. Many are frozen in place, like a photograph.
Good catch!

This scene has such a dream like atmosphere to it!
Yes and at 2:13 the beautiful walls with lights glaring off them
That's because it's a hallucination, much like a dream.
They intentionally used oil burnt smoke/fog to make it feel that way… the stuff is now banned
@manlyman1393 This scene along with the film as a whole take new meaning after the pandemic with isolation and the health implications that accompany it recently being declared a national health emergency by the surgeon general. In that context it isn't so much about the supernatural as much as coping with extreme social deprivation.
I could quite happily live in that ballroom for a few months :)
of all the years of Jack Nicholson's acting, the Shining 1980 has some of the greatest acting of all time
Oddly, some individuals consider the acting terrible.
no way in the world
***** It appears we shall have to agree to disagree.
Steve Dwyer Certainly the greatest over acting!
The critics didn’t like his “mugging” because it’s a sign of bad acting, but Kubrick instructed Jack to do so to push a plot point. Jack is crazy before his interaction with the hotel. The hotel uses these types of damaged personalities for its own evil desires.
1:58 I like how Lloyd leans forward slightly aggressive at this point to force the believe on Jack that he shouldn't overthink things. It's the only little bit of emotion you see in his character during the film, almost as if the hotel had a slight bit of doubt if they could 'convert' Jack.
Or felt he needed a push.
And then it cuts to Jack who pauses for a moment at the aggression, then starts smiling like an idiot and goes dancing off into the room
The way Lloyd practically looks through him at that point is so creepy! Gave me chills.
Nah I actually liked Jack in that scene. Even thought he was going crazy, he called Lloyd on his bullsheet and implied nothings actually free
2:05 Jacks countenance is clouded by doubt 2:09 the 'house lights' brighten up as he smiles "Anything you say Loyd" ...
This is by far my favorite scene in the shining! Just everyone in the 1920s evening clothing, the dancing, the art deco lounge, the eerie 1930s music, the mood, it is all so perfect. It brought me right back to a celebration of the wealthy in the roaring 20s. French kiss
J.J.! Good Lord, what a surprise! It's Theodore, my friend; Theodore Bullion from the I.S.P.C.! Isn't this a fortuitous occurrence?
@@louisxiv631 Theo? My, I did not expect to see you here!
I love how I'm always noticing different lines and connections in this movie. Jack says "been away, but now I'm back" and "it's good to be back" I feel like there's hidden meaning behind those words. It's not just that he's back at the bar since the last time, but that he's back at the party from the 20s. So many puzzles in this movie!!
+Jessica Davis I head that the bartender is refering to Jacks ancestor hence he only calls him Mr. Torrence and not Jack, also Delbert Grady being ancestor to Charles Grady. Probably wrong but just a theory.
+Jessica Davis Read an interesting analysis that suggests there really are no supernatural goings on-that its really all just delusions conjured by Jack's own disturbed mind, and also by his wife and son as they snap under the stress of being with him.
+Daniel Ryan
That doesn't explain how Grady unlocked the storage room when Jack was locked in. Kubrick confirmed that the hotel is haunted also.
+jackalmanic Woah, you're totally right. Because there's an implication that the hotel is basically alive, so it's like from the house (hotel) itself. Awesome
+Dylan Downs While it does seem like a stretch on a few points, it was still interesting. Something the author pointed out that I never noticed was that during the scenes where he talks to Lloyd and Grady, he is facing toward a mirror-as if implying that he's talking to his reflection and that these conversations are actually happening entirely in his head.
Hard to believe the entire hotel is a set. Kubrick took over most of Elstree studio's soundstages and had all the sets built at once and of commercial grade materials to last the 46 week shoot. He wanted to film in real time order, so every set had to be up and ready to use at any moment. The "Gold Room" was built inside at pre-war Zeppelin hangar, hence the vast size and high solid ceiling.
This might be the most informative comment I've seen on this video.
I expect the Hanger you mention is one of two at Cardington in Bedfordshire UK. I've driven past these monster hanger's many times. One is used for Fire testing equipment, the other is used for film sets. Probably where the real James Bond gear is tested.
Very interesting. Hangers are often used for larger-scale sets, quite often when it's the interior of homes or other buildings, but it's very rare to rebuild a set as large as the Gold Room.
Sorry to say that this information is completely wrong. Total fiction. The Gold Room was built in a huge shed (not a sound-proof stage) at Elstree Studios. Nothing to do with Cardington. I think there are some crossed wires here with the fact that Kubrick used one of the Cardington sheds in 2001.
And in the same Elstree Studios, Stanley Kubrick met Steven Spielberg, who was filming Raiders of the lost ark.
I do not know why but I find this scene very comforting. The echo on the music, the calm, the colours.
There's something inherently creepy about the 1920s-1930s
I'd add the 'aughts' and 1910s, as well. I feel like that time period is often used to very creepy effect in horror movies.
otherguy246 yes! I feel that way as well.
Modern enough to be relevant, but long enough ago to have a creepy ambiance. I feel like it stops around 1938.
There's nothing creepy about the Music from the 1920's-40's the music is very elegant and much more relaxing to dance to the melody.
There's nothing like dancing to this music with your love one to this kind of music.
It's called Adolph Hitler.
I just love Jack's wtf face when the bartender says "your money's no good here."
He's paying with his sanity
@@jimhuffman9434 or his soul.. 🤔🤔
Lol
That whole exchange is so uneasy
Ever since I sobered up, I've looked at Lloyd as the personification of Jack's alcoholism. All his actions and lines are those of an addict who has given himself permission to "slip." People in recovery often characterize the disease as thing, always in wait for that lapse in judgement and serenity. Joe Turkel"s "Lloyd" became mine, patiently waiting, ready to tell me a drink will fix everything and taking me to hell itself.
This is one of the best comments I've ever read for a movie clip. (And I've read a LOT of those.) I'm glad you've overcome your addiction, and that analysis of Lloyd was brilliant.
Sidney Frederickson grow some balls and have a beer
Sidney, I hope you feel better now.
I really do.
Did you read the book? Much better drunk stuff in it. Which is funny, because SK wasn't at all sober. So, how could he know this?
I was sober 23 years and decided to drink again during covid. Now it's 2024 and I have maybe one drink a month. I do t have a problem with it and don't see it as a relapse. I'm fine
It always amazes me the small details in this movie, that if you blink you will miss it. A great example is starting at 2:23, the woman in the dress has what looks like a bloody hand print on the back of her dress.
I always got a kick out of the fact that she just kept walking and never considered apologizing bumping into Grady.
Wow she did have a blood stain. It just proves that they are all ghosts
Perhaps that explains why she provoked Grady, maybe she was one of his victims.
No it's a gold pattern on the dress
This movie is so perfect. The way you can tell the ghosts are ghosts, not because they’re transparent or anything like a classic ghost would be portrayed as. They just stare without blinking and their speech is slow and calculated at times… this scene in particular feels as though time is frozen and all the ghosts are looking at him like the caretaker has returned, or that they’ve seen him somewhere before. Time is frozen, but lost. Absolutely genius.
This scene is very nostalgic and creepy at the same time. I keep hoping Jack just stays here having fun, for the rest of his days. Damn you Delbert.
BenAffleckOfficial Intil you realize the entire place is empty and it's Jack talking to the Hotel by himself, drinking nothing from an empty glass.
@@thefinalring2355 That's pretty disturbing to think about.

@@gregorywhite9095 haha true! 🤣
I would also give a lot, but not my soul though
Nice profile pic
It's so creepy. The contrast between the pleasant ballroom atmosphere and the underlying theme of insanity and murder. Are the guests just ghosts? Is this all going on in Nicholson's head? Or was he transported back to 1921? Nicholson is amazing. Here he is at the peak of his career. No other actor could pull this off.
+Ron Ford Ghosts were real that turned Jack insane. The ballroom photograph at the very end suggests the reincarnation of Jack....according to the filmmaker, Kubrick
In the book they’re ghosts and so are they in this film adaptation. I mean, who opened the pantry door for Jack? Also Kubrick himself confirmed in an interview that the ghosts weren’t in Jack’s head. If so, then how could Danny & Wendy also see the ghosts? And why would the ending be the only supernatural element in the whole movie? Seems off if that was the case.
@@Tusc9969 Yes, but I think this movie lets place to many interpretations. You can say that they are ghosts, or just visions... aswell as in any similar episodes in the movie. Kubrick also said "it´s just the history of one man´s family quietely going insane together"
Joe Turkel owns this scene. The way he delivers his lines is classic.
His acting was crazy good. Having remembered only that Jack has a conversation with someone at the bathroom I was sure it's going to be him because of how ominous and mysterious he is and an assumption they wouldn't waste a great actor like that just for Jack ordering a drink.
on 0:40 to 0:43 you can see that the light of the room dimmed to subtly focus the scene to the conversation with lloyd. Brilliant
The unblinking smile from Lloyd has so many undertones of menace beneath the surface it's unsettling. The literal 'wolf in sheep's clothing' waiting to devour. The entire 1920's setting (a decade of excess and vice) just adds to the layers of subtle unease and evil bubbling just below the surface of gaiety.
Absolutely love the music in this scene. 20s-60s is the golden era of music. For anyone with a more sophisticated taste - the name of this song is Midnight, the Stars and You by Al Bowlly.
ANDI LOVE THE SONG SMMM
Your probably a massive fan of the caretaker now lol
Al Bowlly - the greatest singer of his time(Yes, I am a fan) - died in an air raid over London on April 17th, 1941 - but not before recording well over 1000 songs, there still may be more out there
ROFL when Jack pats that guys back he gets drink all over his coat.
+Lance Marshsonthen grady says "you're the important one"
+Lance Marshson look further at the bathroom scene the stain is not there anymore
+Satch Flight yeah it is I've seen it there
+TheKingpinChemist I guess you should know, sir. You've... always been there.
2:24
Have you noticed that almost no one reacts to him but when he touches a ghost everyone looks to him?
I bet the Devil himself bought Jack's drink for him.
Right before Lloyd shows up you can hear jack saying, "I'd sell my goddamn soul for a glass of beer". Then enters Lloyd, a man dressed in a red tux, and separating Lloyd and Jack from each other is the long rectangular light on the bar. This could be symbolic of him peeking over into the afterlife or wherever 'the devil' and these ghosts might be.
Great analogy!
+Thelma why thank you! :)
Anytime. :)
+TheKingpinChemist I was just noticing another effect that bar had during that scene--it makes Lloyds eyes light up so creepily. If that was planned, it was a very smart choice (and hearing how attentive Kubrick was to so many details, it very well have been).
Song playing the background is just amazing
''Midnight----the Stars and You''

I was looking for this comment lol 😂 why nobody mentions this detail?
they just don't, can't make them like this anymore.
Todays producers, directors, just don't get it, are clueless about what scares people.
today's films are so annoying, the visual techniques are all jerky, lots of sudden loud noises and quirky camera work, adolescent mentality, same kind of music, slapstick horror.
Solid State Totally agree
As much as i agree that this is fantastically well made, there are some good films made today if you can find them. The Babadook mentioned above was a 2014 film, from an Australian Film-maker. Really authentic moving story, no jump scares and a great chill factor to it. Just look under the surface a bit and there is a gem every so often.
Solid State I agree. Today's directors think the average movie viewer has an attention span of 5 seconds. Oh yeah---and be sure to create lots of booming ear splitting noises. Compare all that to the subtleness of this sequence. The ghostly quiet music, the long slow shots of Nicholson moving down the hall, the exquisiteness of the set itself, the deceptively bright lighting....all of these make The Shining an enduring classic.
zooeyhall You are totally correct, very well written response.
1:58 is probably the closest Lloyd gets to being conventionally scary, and frankly that’s why I find him to be the scariest ghost in the Hotel. He’s not one to raise his voice or spook you, he’s the devil on your shoulders telling you to drink.
He is the same way in the book and is even more menacing
FACT:
In the final Gold Room sequence, Kubrick ordered all the people who are in the ballroom to only mime (pretend) their expressions to make the scene feel like Jack is stepping away from the 70s to the roaring 20s.

Joe Turkel
Gotta love that old music....
Perfect. It’s eerie but beautiful and the music is just the cherry on the cake. My favourite scene hands down
The ghosts in the hotel are like: "This Jack Nicholson guy is scary asf, we need him in here!"
Never noticed until now how he shows zero anger when a stranger douses him in Advocaat, yet becomes completely unhinged when his kind wife interrupts his work by asking how he's doing.
God I love the background music for this scene. It really sells it for me.
There will never be another Jack
Oh no way, your so right. The sad part is he doesn't act anymore
Jack's little dance @ 2:17
Yeah, I love it
Something about this scene seems so warm and cozy, yet there is unmistakably something wrong. Love this movie to death.
Yes!
I feel like I belong
I always found the music somewhat eerie---the echo of the singer's voice is definitely a factor.
Still unbelievably beautiful cinematography to this day.
I love this scene it's genius and disturbing at the same time
Beautiful scene too
The astonishing brilliance of this film is hard to even comprehend, decades after it was originally made. The thing that strikes me most is how Kubrick defied all expectations at every point in the film. A lesser director would have done something really pedestrian, like transitioning from the shot of a full ballroom to a shot of an empty room with just the main actor in it talking to essentially himself. But the way this is composed, it actually mirrors the psychological process of losing one's grip with reality. And what's more, it is so easy to imagine that in a similar position, anyone might actually lose their grip on reality. There isn't a single person alive who, faced with this situation, wouldn't at least run the risk of losing their mind. I think the pandemic and having to stay home in isolation for so long gave us all a newfound appreciation for how damaging isolation can be. And the tiniest details that are almost imperceptible, such as the fact that he did not actually have a bar snack in his hand when he went to "eat." I'm not even a horror fan, but I'm just in awe of this film. I watch it every so often just to marvel at its brilliance as a piece of film-making. I have heard that Stephen King did not like this film, because it doesn't necessarily follow the book. But I felt it captured the essence of what made the book horrifying when I read it. The Shining is the one book that scared the hell out of me, to the point where I was actually finding myself afraid and my heart was actually pounding when reading it. I've never had that experience with another story.
This is the most ghostly scene ever. The music choice is what makes it in my opinion. Such a haunting song.
A guy walks into ball full of people from the 1920's, with 1930's music playing, and he's dressed in 1980's clothing. There's nothing unusual here
Kind of funny how in the modern day we imagine those 1920's parties as being some sort of high class affair. Based on some stories I've heard, only the ancient Romans were worse in their levels of decadence and depravity.
But at the same time how much chaos and disorder do you see almost none. Unfortunately for minorities that was the best fashion to live by back then.
What have you read? I'm honestly really interested to know.
Tywin Lannister example: when we see speakeasy parties depicted in media, we see people in fancy clothes sipping cocktails, looking high class and sophisticated. Left out is the commonality of drugs, even back then. Also theses orgies where people would couple with anyone-male or female. And in fact, in the underground culture of the time, homosexuality and bisexuality where pretty much an open secret.
@@dkupke Damn that actually sounds way more fun than the average frat party today.
@@dkupke but bear in mind that it was rich folks spending their time at the Overlook, not the hoi polloi
RIP Joe Turkel (Lloyd) who passed today 🙏🏻 memorable scene forever in history!
The only problem of this scene is that the song is from 1934, however the scene seems to take place in the 1920s
That's becouse this was not the original music, the music that you should hear is from, whispering Jack Smith, with (If i had you)
Though the song (If i had you) is from 1929, and the ball takes place in 1921
So it's still not right lol
I love how Grady spills the tray onto Jacks jacket kinda unnaturally
*Almost as if he WANTED to do it and have an excuse to go a remote place with him*
Would have been perfect if Kubrick somehow removed the shadows from the ghosts on the floor and only had Jacks showing.

Something weird is going on here. Take a look here on UA-cam at some other "the shining ballroom scene" clips. In the other video clips of this scene I don't see the lights go down and up as Jack approaches and then steps away from the bar. In the other clips, the lights just stay the same intensity throughout the scene.

Just a briljant scene. Can see it hundred thousand times. Perfect elegant ! A masterpiece from Kubrick.
SOMETHING NOBODY HAS NOT NOTICED YET: THE SPECIFIC USE OF LIGHTS. Notice the blinking lights and their significance. Everytime the lights switch on, it is a sign that something important is just being said or happening. 1) Jack comes into the ballroom, it lights up. It came into "existence" again, just like it was in the 1920s. 2) Jack wants to pay and the lights go up again because Jack is an alcoholic and just "lit up" with happiness that he is going to have a drink again. 3) Lloyd tells him "no charge" and the lights turn off, just like Jack´s mood. 4) "Orders from the house?" Jack is suspicious. Because it is "orders LITERALLY from the house, the haunted building. Lloyd does not exist, the house set him up there with the rest of the crew and guests to be an illusion that would fool Jack into doing what he is supposed to do (to his wife and kid). 5) "I´m the kinda man who likes to know who´s buying their drinks, Lloyd!" Now Jacks KNOWS there is something fishy, and the lights flash again. 6) "Anything you say, Lloyd!" Jack officially resigns, signs off, gives in to his alcoholism and his old habits, and the lights flash again to note us of it. 7) Jack dances in the illusion-filled room, giving into his hallucinations or the house´s illusions... and so on, and so on. And then he meets the waiter who used to be the caretaker. And we all know what he had done in the past and what he is about to tell Jack.
I hate to burst your bubble, but the lights dimming and getting brighter was added by the uploaded to avoid getting copyright claimed.

this is literally my favorite scene of anything i’ve ever seen and will be. this scene makes me so happy its so cool. i think about this scene on the daily.

Al Bowlly. A voice from another era. RIP
Next time when I'm at a bar, I'm just gonna say hair of the dog that bit me to the Bartender 😂
love this scene. The women are wearing 1920s clothing, but the song playing- Moonlight, the Stars and You was from 1934. The bathroom is very 1970s.
The arrangement with the background actors in this scene is masterful. You can watch this scene over and over and over again and see how on-point every single background extra is. Love it!
recently watched the movie again.
what a gem, the parts with Lloyd are so lovely.
One of the great atmospheric scenes in movie history. First time I saw this scene (in high school) I had a rush of feelings. Nostalgia, excitement of the beginning of a party, longing for days gone by. Hard to explain it.
As someone who lives near Chicago, this scene makes me so wish I could relive a 1920s themed party in a ballroom!! Not like modern day “parties.” Even if I go to the city at night, the nightlife just isn’t the same. We need to bring this back. NO smartphones! Just real people socializing! *Sigh*
The scenes with Lloyd and Grady were fantastic.
I'm the kind of man likes to know who's buying their drinks Lloyd
One of the best film scenes of all time - creepy, nostalgic, beautiful, haunting - and the Al Bowlly music just sets the scene. Lloyd the Barman is totally unnerving - that unblinking stare!
I watched this movie when it first came out, I was 6 years old, I remembered fragments of it, my Mother called it the most terrifying movie of all time!
2:16 I always loved this part where Jack does a little dance. I have no idea if this was improvised or not but its genius. The whimsical dancing to Al Bowlly's "Midnight, The Stars and You" makes the scene all the more uncanny and fever-dreamish. Even so the rest of the ball room scene to me is one of the most surreal scenes in cinema. The fact that Jack Torrance was either hallucinating this entire scene or there were actual ghosts makes this so disturbing.
Fun fact: Vivian Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick's daughter, is the woman wearing a black dress and sitting on the couch closest to the bar.
