The Shining

what does it mean?

Crazy men gets more crazy when isolated form civilization

Don't be an alcoholic.

Being a writer isn't a real profession - just a hobby. Don't isolate yourself from the world like a pretentious ass when you are really just a hack

Nothing. It’s just a haunted house movie that a bunch of autists read way too deep into.

you might go crazy without internet

Ugly women and annoying children can make any man go insane

If your faggot kid is talking to the imaginary friend in his fucking finger you just didn't beat him hard enough

to fully understnad the movie, there's a lot of things I have to explain. lets start with something easy.
You have to notice the goofy doll in Danny's room, and now notice that Wendy is wearing the exact same outfit

That Lloyd was the best god damn bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine.

the movie was about Kubrick telling the world he faked the moon landing, the book was about Stephen King being a drunk abusive father who then became a rich drunk abusive father.

>exact

Everything after jack sits down to write is part of the story he is writing, that's it really it's not as complicated as everyone makes it out to be.

Yeah so what lol

...

His name might be Goofy, but theres nothing goofy about him

the first time i noticed the Dopey sticker disappearing, I knew this movie was a masterpiece

The real question is, how and why does he come back in the sequel to help?

>duuuh thing look like thing so it mus mean some thing
stop trying to give it a deeper meaning with asspulls
kubrick is a hack

It's about a whole lot of shit
>child rape
>isolation and confinement
>having a grown man trying to murder you is fucking scary
>insanity/mental illness doesn't seem insane to those afflicted
>big, dusty, ancient buildings are fucking creepy in a lonely winter
and the scariest fact of all:
>Shelly Duvall was incredibly fuckable but you were too late to protect her smile

Hi shill

Cool disinfo thread

>good standard/fiat currency
>faking Apollo 13 landing

Or Portland, Oregon for that matter

...

merely a coincidence, kubrick didn't think about his films.

...

>woaowo so many peple say ids a mastrpeice but id seems kinda shit
>ohhhHH maybe dees randum things hav a conectiuon or somting!

>kubrick didn't think about his films.
t.Stephen king

Why does stephen king have such shit taste in everything?

Dopey was a metaphor for the fake moon landing

He can’t understand that his books can’t be adapted the way he wrote them, because king spends hundreds of pages on internal monologues and random side stories and bullshit. It can make for an engrossing read when done right but for the most part you can’t adapt his big tomes into screenplays without cutting shit out. But he likes money too much, so he just bitches after cashing the check like a prostiute angry at a client for going up his ass when he told them not to. He still let them do it, and he took the extra 5, but he’s still mad.

>Shelly Duvall
I once tried to mention this while discussing the film during/after a watch recently. She was actually really cute in a homely way at the time, and I seem to be one of the only ones that sees that.

Reminder that Kubrick actually wanted to blow his brains out after noticing the helicopter shadow in the title intro.

was he even alive when the remaster with expanded aspec ratio was made?

I think it's a mix of Kubricks ideas and Kings. Tbh I think it was about white privilege, patriarchy...evil white man stuff.

The helicopter shadow wasn't visible in the aspect ratio he released the film in.

that's because you're a soy-stain

it's a movie about abuse and denial.

father molests son, mother denies it to herself.
government murders natives, citizens forget and party over the slaughter.

there's also a labyrinth motif and some moon landing stuff, those are up to you how much you want to see in them.

lets discuss this handprint, and why its significant.

This is the woman who walks by Grady and causes him to spill his drink on the Jack. This then causes Grady and jack to go into the bathroom where he tells Jack to correct his family

Holy shit that's actually spooky

its a fucking crown

Is there a more unappreciated man in cinema than Garrett Brown?

who fuckin cares

You do.

I love the shining

With utmost sincerity, this is the answer.

Top keks

Oh wow, never noticed that thanks

t. shill

I don't find her particularly attractive but her looks are very striking and unique. I love that she was cast alongside Sissy Spacek in 3 Women.

child abuse / rape

Also this

t. shill

kek

nah she was a qtpie

The movie is the best example why movies that don't answer the questions and leave the things "ambiguous" are bad.

Other Kubricks flicks that do that are also bad as well.

mind blowing analysis shill

She's cute in a unconventional way.

can we have more wacky shining tidbits

>kubrick
>entry level film director
>ambiguous

Maybe to a genZ turd who needs half the movie to be filled with exposition.

Hotel was somewhat haunted at a certain time of the year/decade/ or whatever. Also, reincarnation of those who actually get haunted.

what am I looking at here?

BASICALLY it's a Stephen King horror story, which Kubrick used to insert tons of allegory and symbolism for things like the gold reserve and child abuse, because he's a fucking autist. A cinematic genius maybe, but a fucking autist nonetheless.

A bunch of you making jokes at the film's expense clearly watched Room 237.

Admit you like The Shining. Admit it!

It's literally what it's about you shriveled up nutsack. Every other story by Stephen King is hippie shit usually about evil white men. And there were references everywhere throughout the film you faggot. The "White Mans Bourbin" scene, when he called the guy a "Nigger Cook", the story in the beginning about the white travellers who had to resort to cannibalism, the indian stuff all on the walls inside the hotel, in the book it was built on an indian burial ground, him attacking his wife, overpowering his son, I could go on.

wew lad, stop being a clueless soyim.

lot of samefagging and shilling going on

it's called two people replying to each other you autistic migraine.

Kubrick wasn't a white man basher tho.
He was /ourguy/

only correct answer

She looks like a Jojolion character, in a good way.

spot on

Some say a crown or bloody handprint. My guess is the later symbolizing a subliminal mark due to violently strangling his son causing some sort of bloody trauma. The fact she pushes Grady into Jack in order to be more noticeable is interesting.

In the end, Kubrick is dead, unless some assistant knows this goes as an open ended question.

This, the shape of the hand, it almost looking as burned as it is bloody, and the Baphomet pose at the end give me some impression it's almost Satanic intervention or something.

looks like a pitchfork almost. Couldn't be a human hand.

and she's pretty goofy looking.
the end.

is room 237 the moon?

oh what's the matter, triggered, white bois that nobody cares whether you saw a fucking kubrick face in the clouds? You people are pathetic, I hope you do realize that, right?

>The "White Mans Bourbin" scene

analysis like this is a diamond dozen, user. you're going to need to put more effort in, because it's a doggy dog world out there.

imagine being this fucking dense hahaha

...

really makes you think how many photos have been faked in media. They've been airbrushing stuff since plate photography

...

>The Baphomet hands were already in the old photo
>it was still retouched to be more specific

Both spooky and interesting

Stephen King is a fucking idiot who barely even cares about the shit he writes

Seems like the opposite my dude, he strikes me more of like an autist that cares too much about adding in every single detail but no core thread to tie it together.

I remember people like this in my computer classes. They would make video games in their spare time and I always wondered why they would be making some grand magnum opus that looked like shit instead of piecing some small stuff together, then scrapping it, until they made something good.

It's about a paranormal connection to an American bloody past as well as a family drama about abuse, alcoholism and the illusion of the American dream, filmed in a way that gives it an almost mythical quality.

After Danny goes supposedly goes into room #237 he gets bruises resembling the back of the lady's dress.

Pitchfork is a possibility, however Jack's tool was an ax. Also, bloody finger prints will smear, seem elongated as you maneuver to gain more leverage.

Did anybody else here get a complete overbearing sense of dread the first time they saw the end of the Shining?

Something about the slow zoom on the photograph being the finale to all the weird shit that had happened throughout the movie just made me feel uneasy beyond words. Such a weird feeling. I didn't see the Shining for the first time until I was in my early 20's and it still had that effect on me. Only movie I've ever seen as an adult that left me feeling genuinely afraid, and I couldn't even explain why. Best horror film of all time, in my opinion.

That's what's so great about it, it's rarely "scary" but absolutely dreadful and unsettling to watch. I saw it for the first time as a sophomore in high school, I didn't find it scary but quite peculiar. Strangely enough the was the bearsuit bloje that tipped me off there was something going on under the surface.

it was retouched twice tho, and both retouched images were used in the film, even though they are very similar. why did kubrick do this?

There was a few of these sort of things in the movie. I think it has something to do with the book. There was a scene with a dude in a furry suit and a mask giving some other guy a blow job and that was in the books. Something about one of the employees of the hotel way back in the day that got killed by his gay lover and abuser.

I saw this movie recently, but for some reason this scene was cut out. I remember thinking it was strange because in that version, Wendy's fear and distrust of Jack seems to come from nowhere only to be explained after the fact.

Don't slaughter millions Indians or Jews

the euroean cut is about 20 minutes longer than the US cut

Was that on TV? Seems dumb, seems like exactly the slow whatever scene some idiot would cut even though it's important.

It was at one of those theaters that only play old movies, I think they were playing it off of a DVD.

Yeap I have never been as spooked as I have with the Shining.

>See this movie in cinema 2 years ago
>When the guy says the N word some random white guy in cinema gasps so loudly

Kubrick wanted to make a horror movie so there you go.
