The Shining - Hallorann explains what the Shine is

[jordanfb13]

In the book he had an afro...

[Tjpeter7]

the whole fucking movie is so boring and retarded, and who ever thinks that guy kubrick is a genius because he came out with such an stupid ending is just as or even more god damn stupid, fuck you kubrick for making me waste 2.5 hours of my life with your bullshit movie, FUCK YOU!

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 What's it like having an attention span of 5 seconds?

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 you must then, be among those retards who think kubrick is in fact a genius, correct? well, he's not, when you make a movie that 10 out of 10 viewers can't understand, you didn't make a movie that's too smart for them to understand, you made a movie that's just stupid, because we don't understanding it makes it that, stupid! 

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 "a movie that 10 out of 10 viewers can't understand."

You sound pretty sure of that.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 you did understand it? no right? then welcome to the club and shut up.

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 Actually, I'm pretty confident I did understand this movie. Just because this film is too intelligent for your limited brain to fully appreciate or understand doesn't mean it is for everyone else.

Good day to you sir.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 did you, huh? well, you're more than welcome to explain it to us "mr. shit decoder" so go ahead and tell the other 25+ million people (everyone else except you and Kubrick) what's the "meaning" of the ending of this dumb movie, because not even the original writer of the book on which this movie is based on like it or understood it (especially after Kubrick added and took off things at his pleasure).

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 "You are free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film."

Like the end of 2001, the final shot of The Shining *can* be taken literally, but it is meant to be looked at figuratively/symbolically (the "starchild" in 2001 represents rebirth, which is a recurring theme in the movie). There are many suggestions throughout The Shining that the film is actually an allegory to the colonization of America and its subsequent violent history.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 OMG are you serious, because basically based on your opinion well, we could as well say that this movie is a representation of an intergalactic war that hasn't take place yet, but which will do so when Kubrick comes back to life, and that this movie was a decryption message of such event, as stupid as that is your interpretation, but I don't judge you, because any interpretation (even yours) makes more sense than the actual ending of that stupid movie.

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 "an intergalactic war...when Kubrick comes back to life..."

^I'm not even going to respond to that.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 Now if you want to represent that colonization of the Americas, well just put three ships and a bunch of European assholes murderers into them in a scene and don't bullshit people with senseless shit not even your creepy mind really understands.

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 Go to the Wikipedia page for this movie and read the section on Native Americans.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 Wikipedia? and you still expect me to take you seriously? boy oh boy, you got lots of real information to catch on with, good luck.

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 That was simply to show you that the Native American theory is not "my interpretation" as you called it.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 na, you already lost any respect I may had for you, I don't take you seriously anymore, I'm sorry but nothing that you may say now will change the opinion I (or anyone else whom reads this comments) on how stupid you and Kubrick are. bye

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 I'm also not going to point out your meaningless uses of profanity throughout this conversation or your complete lack of knowledge of grammar. Have a wonderful day.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 grammar? maybe, English is my third language, so I'll give you that one. But senseless, naah my friend, senseless are your comments, not mines.

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 So basically your argument is this: you don't understand this movie, therefore nobody does, therefore it makes no sense at all because Kubrick was retarded. I don't suppose there's any possibility that Kubrick was a genius, which is why many (but not all) people find his films obscure and difficult to understand, is there?

Watch out for Tjpeter7, guys, we've got a cinematic genius over here.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 it's not just me, it's 9.9/10 viewers, and if Kubrick as you said "is a genius" for making a movie no one really understands (I even doubt he does himself), then I could be a genius just by taking a crap, not because I needed to take it, but because of an obscure, mysterious reason out of everyone's capacity to analyze except my asshole. That's how stupid everyone who thinks Kubrick is a genius sounds when arguing their "reasons".

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 I never said Kubrick was a genius, I was sarcastically mocking you, which you apparently didn't pick up on. And now let me get this straight: people who call Kubrick a genius are stupid, I'm stupid, and Kubrick was stupid, correct? Are you a member of the 1% of viewers who are more intelligent than the other 99%, but who still don't understand the aesthetics and philosophy of Kubrick's films?

...You must be a god.

[Tjpeter7]

@0180917 get this one and only one thing straight: THERE'S NO SUCH THING! THERE NEVER WAS, AND NEVER WILL! Kubrick was stupid as well as his films, so stop looking for something where there's nothing; like sense or talent in Kubrick's films.

[0180917]

@Tjpeter7 Your logic is clearly beyond my intelligence level.

[MORTARS987]

is that the little kid from home alone 3

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

hong kong phooey!!!

[mikytrex]

In the book...didn't Hallorann explained Danny this in a car :|?

[GCXBU]

0:30 She called it Shining. I LOL'd hard at that line!! :XD

[AtactHD]

world record for most reshots. they reshot this scene 148 times :)

[WintersWar]

what a great piece of acting here, this scene is so convincing with the exchange here.

[joebarrrs]

there are so many subtle differences in this scene than in the book. is 237 a scarier number than the original 217?

[PaulRietvoorn]

@joebarrrs No, I once read that the hotel in which the film was shot didn't want to use the number 217, because their customers might be too scared to sleep in that room after the film was released, so they made up a number which the hotel didn't have.

[ienjoyapples]

@joebarrrs i think 217 looks scarier in print and 237 sounds scarier

[maddash24seven]

Brilliant scene. Brilliant movie. Easily my favorite Kubrick film. Favorite horror film of all time. I just can't say enough good things about this movie. The way this film is shot with that weird lens or camera that Stanley used, it makes this movie so eerie and distant.

[xxalisonleaxx]

im never staying in a hotel room number thats '237'

shit gimmie sumthin else

[InterwebzHasYou]

I never understood why the number "237" was used to make the evil room.

[purebredeyes]

Where did u going Shamara.

[Javjean]

Stay away from minute 2, second 37. Stay out,

[5leafc1over]

every time i watch this scene i think of J. Dilla R.I.P.

[tph197666]

"some places are like people. Some "shine" and some don't." thats such a good quote, Scatman Crothers was such a amazing actor. RIP

[007bondspy]

@tph197666 Sometimes 'Shining' is a curse.

[Mspendragon72]

@007bondspy ...nope!

[Mspendragon72]

@tph197666 ..AMEN

[Javjean]

@tph197666

Damn right!

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

@F1brawfa Yes, I saw a clip here called The Shone report and it is freaky. The movie works so pervasively on a psychological level and Kubrick has intentionally left symbolic references and audio interjections in order to bring out layers of extra interest on a subliminal level. In the first 30 minutes or so there are images of triangles with the Masonic eye, 'Shone' is heard many times, Jack looks at camera intentionally, at us when he is coming up with a new idea that drives him to insanity.

[F1brawfa]

@LiteracyLabyrinth this is the second part of my comment , but something that really shocked me was when i realised that the oficial poster from the shining is not only a face of a boy but if you look closley its a face of a teddy bear :O boys nose is bears eyes , boys mouth is bears nose and so on when i finaly saw the bear i was totally freaked out

[lisfub]

step out the cave, see thi ngsa sth eyare. ope nyo ure yes and shine!

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

That was intense - the background effects sound like scuttling or conversations and words "SHONE" whispered sometimes. The sense of dread is uncanny.... I didnt notice that in this scene when I first saw the movie. YT is great cos you can listen intensely to key scenes and gather more information about this intensely complex movie.

[SuperAdamsLee]

whats in room 237

[antayat]

@SuperAdamsLee oh you need to rent one of the classic horror flics of all time.

[SuperAdamsLee]

@antayat naked lady in bathtub

[antayat]

@SuperAdamsLee LOL thats only one thing. She was the wife of the murderer that killed her. You have to watch the movie or read the book.

[F1brawfa]

@SuperAdamsLee It represents the moon 

[baldavenger99]

I did some colour adjustment and added effect to this scene. Let me know what you think.

[psybinetic]

A word like "shone" occurs in the background several times in this clip (first at 5 second mark, then at 1.01 etc). There is more about the phenomenon if you search Youtube for 'New Discovery in Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING: THE SHONE REPORT'. I was dubious until I checked this clip here and saw that the guy was right. Very curious.

[matrat57]

@psybinetic Holy f******* sh***** you are right and it's giving me the chills ! :o Thanks mate I'm gonna check this out righ now.

[F1brawfa]

@matrat57 You want to really be freaked out just listen cerfully at 0,05 just after he says doc you will hear Kubrick voice saying "shone" in the abckground just listen cerfully , this "shone" apears many times in the movie and is creapy as fuck

[casaqw98]

Whats up doc

Tarot on Knives: "Flipping through all the swords in a Tarot deck, you might think all the swords are negative cards. There are some distinct and troubling images within the Swords suit, for sure, but it’s not all bad.

Mostly, the Swords are a reflection of the wide scope of ideas and thoughts that go on in our heads. And while Swords are about intellectual matters and the mind, don’t forget that the mind also creates our emotions, and so the Suit of Swords is very linked with the Cups Suit."

[anonymous1415]

look at 2:55, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but look at all those knives above Danny

[matrat57]

@anonymous1415 I never noticed before, but now that you're saying it, I don't think this is a coincidence. Sctaman Crothers is saying things like "nah there's no danger here" and he's front of the locker door where Jack will get lock up, and beside you have danny with the knives who are like "the danger above him". In any other film I would say this might be a coincidence, but this is a Kubrick so I'd say it's deliberate. It would not be the weirdest thing he did in a film

[DerekBayRoberts1]

I kinda wish Danny didn't stop acting, he was starting out really good. Infact, in my opinion, i sorta wish Spielberg wouldv'e chosen him to play Elliott in "E.T.". I just believe Danny Lloyd would've made a better Elliott than Henry Thomas.

[SMKears519]

Wow. Awesome! The book's a lot different (even the room number! In Stephen King's version it's room 217) but both the versions are amazing, don't you think?

[madmax7272jj]

wwwooww....that is scary... you know he...I dont recall his real name ...the cook .. he is briliant actor..when he heard room 237 from boy His brain got shocked and cannot move his eyes...wow thats tense and it makes movie great..

[VisionWiz1978]

@madmax7272jj

his real name is Scatman Crothers. Great entertainer. RIP
