I have always really liked this film. The movie that Danny and Wendy are watching is "The Summet of 42". It's a great old film but I dunno if it has uh, what to the kids say, aged well😃. "He's not right". Understatement. Also it's an odd thing the jack/johnny thing. If your name is jack your nickname could be Johnny? What about if your name is Johnny could you nickname be Jack? Questions, questions. I love to rewatch films every once in awhile and during this rewatch I never noticed before when Wendy running around the hotel seeing apparitions and such she runs down a blood red hallway seconds before she sees the blood spilling out of the elevator. The second thing was jack throwing the tennis ball down the hallway as he goes to look at the model of the backyard puzzle. That ball later comes to rest at Danny's side while he is playing. 🥎

The scene with Shelly Duval with the bat swinging it at jack. She was pretty much tortured by Kubrick on purpose. That scene was about 120 takes. So the fear anxiety and stress wasn't her acting, he broke her mentally and she stated it caused her severe dspression

Great reaction and it synced perfectly again 👍. Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is regarded by many as one of the greatest films ever made, and one that to this day continues to be the subject of many analyses and discussions. Kubrick deliberately left many things unexplained. There is an interesting documentary called Room 237 which covers the theories and mysteries of the film. The film is very different from the novel — so much so that Stephen King has said he hates The Shining many times. It’s understandable: Kubrick asked for the freedom to change whatever he wanted. Although King didn’t oppose to that at the time, he wasn’t expecting Kubrick to go as far as to change the essence of the book. Because of that, The Shining book and movie are very different entities, and details that are explained — or at least easier to interpret — in the novel are either not included or left very ambiguous in the film. Perhaps the most analysed part of The Shining is the ending; the final shot showing a 1921 photograph of Jack with other guests in the hotel’s ballroom. This scene has been interpreted in many ways, and one of the most popular explanations is that it represents the hotel “absorbing” Jack’s soul. Although this makes sense, Kubrick himself has said the photo actually suggests Jack being a reincarnation of an earlier official at the hotel. This makes sense when going back to his conversation with Grady in the bathroom, where the butler tells Jack that he has “always been the caretaker.” It also fits with the role of both Grady characters mentioned in the film: the past caretaker and the ghost. The “ghost” is Delbert Grady (who was a butler in the hotel in the 1920s), and the past caretaker who killed his family in the hotel was Charles Grady (caretaker in the 1970s), and thus the reincarnation of Delbert Grady. The Shining is, at its core, a story about violence and abuse and how these are often cyclical. Jack had a history of anger issues and violence, mainly against his family. When Wendy finds Danny after he enters room 237, he’s in shock and physically injured, and Wendy immediately blames Jack for it as he has hurt their son before. The abuse part of the story is both physical and psychological: both Wendy and Danny are clearly scared of Jack, even before the hotel’s influence took control of him, and yet they stayed with him. Wendy is overly polite and chipper around Jack as a way to try and prevent him from becoming abusive. It is common behaviour in abuse victims. There is a question of whether or not there are actually ghosts present in the hotel. In the scenes where Jack sees ghosts, he is always facing a mirror or, in the case of his storeroom conversation with Grady, a reflective, highly polished door causing viewers to wonder whether the spirits are reflections of Jack’s tortured psyche. The words “Here’s Johnny” originally came from the late-night talk show “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson”. Ed McMahon, the announcer of the show, would begin each show by introducing the host, Johnny Carson. He often opened the show by using the phrase “and now here’s Johnny”. In the movie, Jack is simply mimicking Ed McMahon. A sequel to The Shining was made in 2019 called Doctor Sleep starring Ewan McGregor as an adult Danny Torrance. A mini-series of The Shining was made in 1997 which is more faithful to Stephen King’s novel and was written and produced by King himself based on his dissatisfaction with Kubrick's version. Wendy was played by Shelley Duvall who appeared in Time Bandits with Michael Palin. Palin and Duvall played the small, recurring roles of Vincent and Pansy. Sorry, this turned into another very long comment. I even deleted much of it to make it shorter 🤪.

There is a 1997 TV miniseries of 'The Shining' that is much more accurate to the book. It makes alot more sense. One of King's major criticisms of Kubrick was the casting of Nicholson and Duvall, because they were already so odd/creepy looking. King's Torrence family was an average likeable one which allows us to better root for them, especially Jack as he descends into madness.

Another horror movie, another annoying main character…don’t know which was worse, this one or the one from the Haunting.

Ah the theory that Jack was a reincarnation of an earlier caretaker would also explain why he felt like he already knew the hotel and that he knew what was around every corner. I don't remember exactly what he said but a sort of DeJa'Vu? Oh of course I recognise her now after you pointing it out 😂 I think it's the teeth! Again, thank you so much for your comment it has actually cleared a lot of it up for me. Please don't apologise for long comments, I thoroughly enjoy reading them every time! 🥰

"Here's Johnny" is a reference to Johnny Carson. He hosted the Tonight Show for 30 years. It was probably the most popular late night talk show during his tenure. They would always begin the show by introducing him with that line. It was a huge part of American popular culture back then.
