A more official analysis of "The Shining"

There are a few things to say first.
1. Those hotel ghosts are real, not many people say they are just hallucinations. Because all three of the family saw it, especially the last mother (she was just an ordinary person) also saw it, which can only show that the ghost is real. It can also be explained that the father was released from the ghost, not the child (it is said that the child is behind the scenes).

2. Regarding the shining's ability, you can speak without speaking. Foreseeing the future, I think there will be a boycott (resistance) of shop wine (from the first point, we can see that the hotel is alive, and the ghosts inside are all his members. )Ability. Why do you say that? Everyone still remembers that when the father entered 237, there was a naked woman inside. When he was about to XX, he kept inserting the child's "struggling" scenes, and the woman turned into a carrion. I think it is the shining's ability to resist the hotel's ability, which makes the beauty of the hotel changed. If you still don't agree with it, there will be stronger evidence behind.

3. Both the child and the Shining in his mouth are good. The Shining strongly opposed the child to go to the hotel at the beginning. It can be seen that he is protecting the child. Because the Shining can see the future, it shows the child some hints from time to time to remind him of what is going to happen, so as to play a protective role. In particular, two little girls talked to him with "forever, forever...", but they were dead immediately; I think this is a reminder for the child to resist (use) the ghost of the hotel by the Shining. Later, when the father talked to the child, there was "forever, forever..." The child felt that his father would let him and his mother corpse him, and asked if you would hurt us. . .

4. Regarding the reversed "murder", some people say that there is a letter that is not reversed, and there is an "ME" when connected, so it proves that the child is the mastermind. But I don't agree, because the child woke up his mother in a terrifying way, and the mother saw the word "murder" in the mirror, while the father was coming with an axe, and the two fled. If it hadn't been for the child's prompt, the mother might have died in her dream. Once again, the Shining is good.

Knowing the above points, we will now look at the whole story.

The first thing I want to say is that Dad is a career loser, and his heart is inferior and lost. After they checked in, the hotel began to confuse Dad. He changed from being gentle and violent before. His manuscripts over the past few days are all in one sentence "Jack is a lunatic", which seems to be seen as a struggle between him and the hotel. But he was defeated and became a running dog in the hotel.

The hotel also gave him material rewards, a beautiful woman, no money for drinking, recognition of his entry into the upper class, etc. These are all failed dads want to have something.
It is worth mentioning here that room 237, I think my father opened it. Dad opened 237 under the lure of the hotel, and had already given him a sexual bribe in it. Under the guidance of the Shining, the child found that 237 had been opened and had fought the hotel inside. I think the hotel was defeated. And the child was also injured, the scar on the neck.
Why do you think so? Dad entered 237 and saw the beautiful woman. He was not surprised or scared, but XXOO directly. However, the child’s ability turned the beautiful woman into a carrion. When Dad returned, he calmly lied, "There is nothing in it". Dad’s reaction was too much for me. Surprised. Think about it carefully, did my dad have entered 237 before, and it has been XXOO. In the movie, dad enters and wants to know if there is anything wrong with the woman in it (or if there is anything wrong with the hotel). He also sees that the woman is okay. I was relieved, so I thought about XXOO again, but found that the child's ability had hurt the hotel. He can only pretend to be calm and wait for an opportunity to start.

I think a child’s ability is very at stake. The hotel can’t beat him, so he can only get rid of him by the hand of his father. Another idea is that the power of the hotel is nothing but no real harm, and it can only be eliminated by Dad.

Regarding 237, I believe that 237 is the heart of the hotel and the source of strength. When 237 was locked, the power of the hotel was sealed, and there was only a small part of the overflowing power. This part of the power induced Dad to open 237, thus obtaining the seal.

Regarding the black man, I think he is the secret guardian of this hotel, someone who can use the shining abilities proficiently. Because of his existence, the hotel dare not come out to make trouble. (There is also a view that the hotel will only come out when there are few people.)

The final photo is easy to explain with the perspective of Eastern fate and reincarnation. Dad was destined to be the caretaker of the hotel. From what he said to the bald head, there was a hint. In the men’s bathroom, the bald head said, "You have always been the guard here." Possessed to this father now.

Regarding the hotel, I don’t understand. Is it the power of fear of children, or want to gain this power, why the guard family before killing it, and what is the hint of the large amount of blood coming out of the door three times (the middle one was from the blood Shooting). Finally, my mother saw why the ghost who looked like X was wearing a mask (too much contrast with the man's dress). . . . In short, there are still too many questions, I think this is why people keep mentioning this movie for 30 years.

If it were thirty years ago, I think I would think it was even more terrifying, that music, that blood. But these original things must be done, and I see more in later movies, and there is less horror. I haven't read a novel, and I only watched the movie once. It's inevitable that I don't have enough ideas. Please correct me.

    DC version. It is not important to discuss how horrible it is. Today's lowest level of ghost head skills can also frighten a group of people, but Kubrick obviously disdains this. Standing in the passageway, after watching the opening captions and the state of the audience, it was a wonderful feeling that six hundred people were taken into the movie space. A family of three, all the actors are brilliant, the old gangster Nicholson is especially crazy. The children stepping on the car, the bathroom in room 237, the snow maze, etc. are all taken very well
