Escape from the Overlook 

Not only smart, but how he was able to not panic and think of this plan while his own father was chasing him down with an Axe! I doubt most of us adults could think clearly during a situation like that. Also, Danny and Wendy used to walk around the maze before winter.

Yes, he was smart as hell. He outsmarted his own murdering father.

Danny was a low key prodigy the whole movie.

Thats rare to see a someone in the movie being calm and brilliant

He's even smarter than you think. I don't buy into all these crazy theories on the movie......however there is one that gas definitely raised my eyebrows and that is that Danny purposely leads Jack into the maze to get him lost so that he and his mom can escape. We already know he's bright enough to outsmart him by covering his footsteps. This can all be backed up by the fact that he hops out of the cabinet he's hiding in just in time for Jack to see him and it looks like he WANTS Jack to chase him and once he gets outside he hides behind the snowcat and pops out from behind it so Jack sees him, then heads straight for the maze, in what could be looked at as intentionally trying to get him to follow.

whats also interesting is that u can see the tracks coming to an end as Jack unsure if this is actually real or if he is continuing to lose his own sanity

I thought he was possessed, not anything to do with his mental state

@@juliahart8593 Yeah …. that’s where I was going with “crazed” father because he’s possessed.

@@voodooluck ah ok

@@voodooluck The *Seitan* in Mr. Torrance ha haLOL 😂😈🪓

@etaN Slip why?

Dunno but a horror movie with rational and intelligent survivalists is a comedy, LOL.

I mean jack coulda just destroyed the snowcat and waited

@@ineedaname8250 Nah, he was too bloodthirsty and the spirits were growing impatient.

Hold my axe, you mean

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

one of the only films of this genre where the characters are actually smart

@@johnjackson7045 And the thing is, Danny is 6 and he's smarter than 99% of horror protagonists. Kinda sad

@@clown454 yea

@@clown454 true

❤❤❤

Yeah This scene is the reason why i hate 2 things Night and Labyrinth

Holy shit! And I thought there couldn't be more symbolism in this masterpiece!

kubrick is a genius

THIS BLEW MY MIND

Awesome analogy! Love it!

I've always found that Jack is a kind of equivalent to a crazed, feral animal during this scene - his limp creates a kind of scuttling motion, he breathes very strange way, and his booming yells for Danny seem more like roars than anything else.

Or end up like Jack, who's "always been there"

@etaN Slip It sounds like he's trying to say that but it's coming out as gibberish.

🤣💀

​@@vulteiuscatellus4105 he's starting to reach that stupor point. Hello can't make any rational statements because he's right there in the last stages of hypothermia.

@Secret Dean They made clear Danny was problematic because of his Shining, almost a threat to the hotel. Maybe the hotel can't locate him unless he specifically uses it. Which also explains why the hotel prompted Jack to kill the only other Shining user as soon as he'd arrive.

@@thibautisserant Yeah but in the book he was only injured. In the movie Jack kills him

Danny’s not here, Mr. Torrance. You’ll have to deal with Tony.

❤

The Stanley (the hotel used for the exterior shots) didn't have it until like 2 years ago.

@@Helladamnleet Actually, the hotel used for the exterior shots is the Timberline Lodge. Stanley's the one that inspired the novel.

I’ve heard that the maze is sort of a metaphor or whatever the word is for the hotel, and this is actually happening inside the hotel and danny locked jack inside the freezer

@@epicgamer-ur1wg Possible. Have you noticed that by the end of the maze scene there is no blood at the axe at all? What a movie

Considering that Kubrick was a perfectionist, many believe that all the inconsistencies and mistakes seen are actually the hotel messing with the characters mind

Being a parent can suck at times

Accurate

Dude, now I want Jack as a killer in DBD

LOLL FR

Lol

@@Alex-uq1el fr

Taskmaster?

@@george..... yess indeed

Ironic since I think salt melts snow lol

THAT’S A LOT of salt

There was supposed to be a different ending to this movie that showed Danny and Wendy making it down the mountain and meeting with Ullman who doesn't believe their claims. But, Kubrick trusted his audience enough to believe that they did make it. He also wanted to use an ending that was more "metaphorically and visually interesting". Thus the ending of the photograph with Jack that has spurred countless theories.

@@jbvader721 The ONE thing Kubrick did right was not blow up the Overlook

I know just what you mean. Though I'm not sure if it's that I feel sorry for him as much as it is that I can sort of empathize with his state of mind; just utter madness and irrational insanity, but underlying all of that - just the regret and sorrow, but yet still with it, the complete inability to stop or fix what you have done. At least that's what I've always kind of interpreted of it.

@@mrzerkaman I definitely feel sorry for him because it wasn't his fault that he went insane. The overlook simply is tainted with the influence of the malevolent forces in Stephen King's macroverse, and Jack didn't have any control over that.

@@warrioroflight6872 no, I can definitely appreciate that. I've actually, honestly never read the book. I mean to now, that I'm older and probably more ready and able to understand it from a deeper level of perspective. The 'Hollywood' version definitely seems to have more deeply emphasized on the "cabin fever" aspect more than supernatural (as much), from what I've gathered thus far.

​@@warrioroflight6872eh he was abusive

hell no he murdered the cook

Absolutely not! The green mile is WAY better than this! And while we’re on the topic of Stephen King productions, nothing beats The Shawshank Redemption!

@@sidtom2741 Woah there dude lol I never said those were bad or anything. I just really like this movie, is all :) And when I said this was up there, with The Green Mile, I meant as some of my personal favorites. Not as the actual writing and story. (Tbh though, I like pretty much anything Stephen King does)

From the little i watched of the Green Mile it seemed very boring and as unrealistic as this...even though at least this has ghosts and/or demons that possess Jack, which has been proven to actually happen to some people.

@@CaptWalker it's supposed to be a bit slower. To make us spend more time with the characters. (At least, that's my interpretation. But, I didn't write the book lol) and yeah, a lot of King's work have some element of the supernatural. (Correct me if I am wrong here, as I haven't read nearly as many books as I used to.) I think one of the most 'real' horror books he ever wrote (or the ones that have been made into a movie) would be Cujo. Animals with rabies can get vicious, and it's always really sad. Anyway, sorry I am rambling lol have a nice day/night

OMG WHILE WATCHING THIS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE GREEN MILE

Same. The Shining is probably my favorite horror movie of all time, and it’s mandatory that I watch it whenever it’s Halloween season

No god but Allah Islam way for peace and real monotheist Search about the truth with honest heart .

HAHA

I JUST NOTICED THAT

How?!

I think he kinda sounds like Ivan Drago.

Not easy

Yes, you can get the film on blu-ray

Just watched the 4K version and gotta say it is absolutely mindblowing and gorgeous

This particular upload is only 480p, so about DVD quality. This movie was also released on Blu-ray and 4K though, and it looks marvelous. Kubric is notorious for having really good-looking films. Especially when you compare it with the miniseries which came out 17 years later, *The Shining* is no exception.

Yeah. It’s also on 4K BluRay

Any idea why they shortened it so much?

The original cut here in England was later extended by many 'missing scenes' when The Shining was put on home media. Shame that the cut scenes from 2001 were not recovered for the 50 anniversary edition. This old man saw a longer version in Maidstone back when I was a kid.

Because you can feel the terror in it or because its skeletal and thing.

Disturbing

It's not his fault he went mad. Nobody could have predicted that the overlook had a malevolent mind of its own.

@@warrioroflight6872 ikr

@@warrioroflight6872 Jack kinda seems insane right from the start of the movie.

What's with the weird fanfiction/roleplaying?

@Gray Upsilon I wrote this, just to make it look like they are saying it. What I wrote was true, Jack became a psychopath, and the hotel's haunted

Um you should probably flip the dialogue. Danny understood everything and hes psychic. Tony (Danny as a teenager) is helping him survive. In a weird way Danny *knows* he will survive. But nothing is written in stone and he has to do everything perfectly. No room for panic or mistakes. Also think about it. Psychic vs a maze? It's Wendy whos confused and in denial. In the book she kills Jack's physical form. But the hotel reanimated him. Here as you can see Wendy is 1/2 an imbecile. Throwing away her only weapon or tool. Even if she felt sure Jack was dead-she might need the knife to cut wood for fire or unscrew or cut something on the trip down the mountain.

Husband catches cabin fever and attempts to go on murderous rampage

My husband went crazy and tried to kill us. Not that difficult. It’s also not that unbelievable considering that the Overlook has had a documented history of having specifically that happen within its walls before (ie a man going crazy and killing his entire family before taking his own life).

Especially considering the fact that this was the eighties and domestic violence was becoming more and more made aware of

Idk maybe I watch to many crime documentaries but a mother pr father going crazy and trying to kill their family seems a bit common 🥲

Lmao yeah we lost power for like a whole week

Awesome, thank you

Nothing he could do on that. It was 90 degrees in that hedge maze.

The Overlook (or rather the demon that took it over) is evil but it is able to mask its evil, e.g. in the on-season when it's full of vacationers no demonic activity happens there. Only in the winter when it gets 1 or 2 guests and can take a victim in secret.

In that hotel there's good and bad ghosts, The bad one made jack mad

Probably something that crackles might not be an actual instrument

It's extended string techniques, like hitting the bow of a violin against the bridge or using it in other weird ways to make crackling wood sounds. Penderecki, the composer, was a pioneer of that sort of thing.

Egg shakers 😂
