How did he escape?
Is this the greatest plot hole in cinema history?

he didn't
the rest of the movie after that point takes place in his crazy brain
Daniel Rivera
danny opened it
Ryan Taylor
if you have to ask, you'll never get it man

This.
Give the movie multiple viewings. It takes at least 6 in my opinion.

GHOSTS
Jack Ramirez
Would he have known how to though.
John Adams
He was never there to begin with. The whole movie was all in his mind. It was a hallucination Randle Patrick McMurphy had while he was undergoing shock treatment at the mental hospital.
Carter Sullivan
what evidence is there for this? we might as well say it all takes place in his head from the moment he got hit with bat.
Charles Stewart
Did you watch the fucking film?
The ghost opened the door. What's not to get?
Luke Jenkins
Would you marry a simple optimistic Wendy?

Keep hearing Kubrick said something about there not being any ghosts and it was all in his head.
Which doesn't make any sense. Especially the final shot of the fucking film or when the wife starts seeing the same shit.

Even if you believed in ghosts you would then also have to be believe in their ability to alter the physical...
it appears considerable time has passed before Jack wakes up in the store room again... As in long enough time for them to escape but she falls asleep (??) and the next time we see danny he is in a trance so maybe it was him opening the door - there was no black fade letting us know of the time jump either...

then what was the point of this picture?
Matthew Diaz
In the first act the question is up in the air about whether or not the ghosts are real. But by the second act it's clear to the audience that the ghosts are real, and by the third act even Wendy is seeing the ghosts.
Stephen King always complains that the movie doesn't make it clear if it's ghosts, or just Jack Nicholson going insane, but Stephen King must have been so fucked up on coke and booze at the time he watched it, he wasn't even paying attention.
Elijah Rivera
That's to show that his soul is now among the group of ghosts haunting the hotel.

>yfw you realise all visual and literary interpretation is largely total fucking arbitrary bullshit
Aaron Perry
It shows that Jack is the devil. The entire movie was parallel to the novel.

What did he mean by this?
Xavier Lee
it's kubricks worst and most overhyped movie, littered with plot holes and random references to the book. it's garbage
Jason Scott
>Kubrick said something about there not being any ghosts and it was all in his head.
did he? where?
Jayden Butler
Kubrick talks about it here I think:

'IT WAS ALL IN HIS HEAD' as a final plot twist is almost as annoying to me as deckard is a replicant in blade runner. obvious cliche twists that would appeal to a teenage boy and add nothing worthwhile to the films.
Dylan Lee
It was Bruce Willis the whole time
