    He did make violins. Back in the early 80s, my mother and I attended a concert in the music room of the Stanley. 2 students from university of Northern Colorado were performing with 2 of the violins he made. It was beautiful. Thank you for this video. I remember the Stanley going way back to the mid 60s. It was really grand then.

    May I, for a moment, change the focus of our story today. A young couple decides to go on vacation and bring their young son with them. They decide to drive to the Stanley Hotel. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crosses the young wife's face. "Ooh, let's bring along little Mortimer's tricycle!" she says. "That'd be so great!"
    The young husband gazes upon his lovely wife. "That's why I fell in love with you," he tells her.

    In the Book he hits the kid while drunk long before ever going to the hotel. The movie didn’t make him violent it is in the first few chapters of the book king wrote himself. He is just changing his story over time to hide his own issues.

    • @ichtyophobia
      @ichtyophobia 8 місяців тому

      I think that too. I think this story shows so much more. When people are isolated for mong periods the shadows of them selfs will show up. All those things they have pushed down will go up to the surface. I think this story showe that so well. I have a hypthesis of this movie. I see A guy who wants to give a shining. To look like a grate father, husband and writer. But he actually wants to party all night an meet other men.

    Perhaps an 84º hotel room may help explain Jack Torrance's behavior... I mean I can't say I'd be chasing people with an ax, but it'd be close.

    The mini series is great definitely get a copy, I think the hotel sells copies, at least when I was there. It really features the hotel and I remember watching the series with my mom when it came out and I would dream of visiting that hotel one day. The actors who play Jack and Wendy are good, Jack isn't as intense lol.

    I really love the green bathtub. I would totally fit in that thing. But spooky, and the number of people who have done weird things in that room would freak me out.
    I love the things in the gift shop made from the print of the movie carpet.
    Very beautiful place.

    The croquet mallet vs the ax is similar to another Steven King novel made into a movie: Misery. In the movie she wrecks dude's feet with a sledgehammer, but in the book she uses an ax to cut one of his feet full off.

  • @ichtyophobia
    @ichtyophobia 8 місяців тому

    Thanks for showing this. I have always liked this movie and people still talks about the shining. The acutall shining is the shine the protsgonist behaviour. He pretends to be someone he isn't and the isolation makes him "explode".
    I have my hypothesis about this movie. The protsgonist (played by Jack Nicholson) is secetrely loving men. He is just having a wife and a kid just because society wants him to do that. When he gets isolated and stressed his shadowpersona tskes over. He actually wants to party, drink and meet other men. But he haves his responsibilities to be a husband, father and an authour. He is pushed from every way and he freaks out. In one scene close to the ending, for some secounds, you can see two men being intimate. They have masks on them. This small glimps in the moovie gave me an A + in movie analysis. It was forbidden for a man to love a other man in these times and to even think about it. I think staley wanted to tell us something more with this movie. For me It's a story about what isolation could pull out of persons anf how much a person could hide from him self and those close to him untill it all brakes. Just like the blood from the elevstors.

    That is an awesome hotel. I had understood that the inspiration for the shining also stemmed from a ghostly encounter Stephen King had that sent him from the hotel during the night.
