in the movie, in the bar room scene, it shows jack drinking jack daniel's whiskey. hmmmm. jack was drinking jack daniels. i don't recall whether the original novel showed jack drinking jack daniel's whiskey, but i do recall that the original novel said that the real name of jack was john daniel torrance. thus, we have jack daniel drinking jack daniel's whiskey.
There is something so sombre and terrifying about that song. Like seeing your own self from a distance walking, slowly but steadily, towards a terribly beautiful cliff.
@RudolfSchmidt what's sombre and terrifying about watching yourself kill yourself in a beautiful way? it's suicide, suicide is peaceful for you or the ...erm "suicidee" .
@facecheek well, you were in the mood for a discussion uh? alright then. thing is, if we were at some party, drunk in a stranger's kitchen, we could have this conversation and exchange our different views.. but here, it's a difficult experience. I'll only tell you that I think beauty IS terrible. and by that I don't mean it's rotten or BS or whatever. I just believe it is dangerous and terrifying, but vital.
Hey everybody - I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains ambient songs (and upbeat songs) heavily inspired by Stephen King's novel and movies The Shining, as well as Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) .
We are in development for our dark western.when i was writing certain parts i would have this playing, what you visualize when this is in the background is pretty amazing. I would replay it like ten times. awesome
The part from 0:00 to roughly 0:24 is the most epic musical cue I've heard in a long time, and also one of the darkest. I didn't think a piece of music could be so dark AND so epic at the same time.
This is so Weird. Still gives me the Creeps. Watched this Movie when i was 6 and my Family and i have a Holiday in Austria. Landscape looks same. dont know, just Weird Movie that give me Nightmares, but absolutely Phenomenal Film at the same Time!
Wendy: Hey! Wasn't it around here that the Donner Party got snowbound?
Jack: I think that was farther west in the Sierras.
Wendy: Oh.
Danny: What was the Donner Party?
Jack: They were a party of settlers in covered-wagon times. They got snowbound one winter in the mountains. They had to resort to cannibalism in order to stay alive.
Danny: You mean they ate each other up?
Jack: They had to, in order to survive.
Wendy: Jack...
Danny: Don't worry, Mom. I know all about cannibalism. I saw it on TV.
@hdna12 damn dude. i can do that for a lot of movies.. like all the pirates of the caribbean movies.. most of the star wars movies.. all of the lord of the rings movies.. secret window, sweeney todd, public enemies, alice in wonderland, the dark knight, nightmare before christmas, tenacious d, princess bride, a lot of everybody loves raymond episodes lol.. and um... damn cant think of anymore right now.. but i hope to be able to know the full dialogue for the shining soon enough. i know some now
During the scene of the movie where this track occurs the Torrances drive towards the Overlook Hotel on the novels fictional Sidewinder Road in Larimer County, Colorado, which was filmed on Going-To-The-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana.
@Revolver7251 Oh that's amazing! I've been gathering all of the original recordings of the non-Wendy Carlos music from the film, its great to find this music here.
The Rocky Mountains song sounds as if the mountains are discussing with each other, if, how, and when they will seize the lifeforms that dare walk upon them.
la bande original n' a jamaais été réeditée en cd , on peut la trouver sur priceminister en vynil , musique trippante superbe!!!, c 'est tout simplement un chef d'oeuvre!!!!!!!! du grand kubrick......
Era ora! Stavo proprio aspettando che qualcuno segnalasse la colonna sonora di questo grandioso film. Jack Nicholson, con il suo spirito un po' spostato, è unico e inespugnabile. Personalita' molto particolare.
I still think The Shining is a great horror movie and the music is incredible. Does anyone know who wrote the music to the scene where Jack Torrance enters the bathroom in 237? He walks towards a woman in a bathroom and the music sounds like heartbeats. That tune is never commented on but I suppose it is Wendy Carlos?
I really love this sounds, fully deep and down in a magistral harmony. All the complex and beautiful thoughts of the different characters are explain in this sequence.
Every morning when I wake up, I play this wonderful song of hope & vitality, it brings me to my senses & has a profound affect to my interactions with other humans, dead or alive.
Hey Dave, if you have noisey kids, playing this music to them as they are put to bed just after turning off the lights is a good way of making them quiet, I especially enjoy telling them that their lives do not last forever, so they better make the most of it !,,lol
Lookit Jack Here...Now Hes Really Old...Man I Wish The Old Days Were Still Around....Eveything Was All Bright And Now Hes An Old But Great Dude Wow I bet This The Kid Is Married And Has Kids That Have Kids Now Lol
Please DOnt Talk About That Jeanharlow...i dont you maybe did when you were little but i nver did want to i always had assumations growing up would suck
C'est un film qui nous "tord" l'intérieur. C'est un film qui fait mal à regarder. C'est brillant et l'ambiance incite à la folie et à la perte de toute lucidité. Quel chef d'oeuvre!(en anglais)

The New YEAR OF THE DRAGON will arrive on the 23rd of January 2012.
Stanley Kubrick was born in that Year, in the past (they occur every 12 years, wiki it)
This music influenced Sam Raimi for The Evil Dead.
The New Year 2012 will bring some wonders, and conflicts, and December will not bring about The End of Life, as many have thought.
