story plot
The first group of colonialists in the United States slaughtered the Indians in a dehumanizing manner for the sake of interests and occupying territory. In order to maintain their rule and interests, they established the Yuanwang Hotel (the ruling machine) in 1907, and in 1921, they divided up the colonial interests. Become the ruling class, high society (party member in GOLD ROOM). On the way to the Yuanwang Hotel, the Danny family mentioned the "Donner Party", which is a gathering of people eating people for survival, which vaguely clarified the nature of capitalism and the theme of the film. All later American whites, blacks, and original Indians have to rule and serve them, because resources are limited, in fact, people cannibalize people, and the ruling class eats (squeezes) the ruled class. Only those who are willing to sell their souls to serve the ruling class are likely to advance to the upper classes. Those who want to subvert the existing system (Danny and the sisters) are threats and are to be removed, as are ordinary people (Grandi, Wendy) who stand in the way of the process and are seen as threats The alien colleagues (Black Halloran) are also to be eliminated. The ruling class (hotels) usually do not take action directly, they will make full use of the contradictions of the ruled, satisfy the desire of the greedy party to get rid of dissidents, and achieve the effect of killing chickens and warning monkeys, but when they feel a great threat, they will directly disregard their image and come forward in person. Start. The lackeys who sell their souls for the ruling class and complete the task will receive different positions in the hotel according to their merits.
Jack has long been yearning for the job of a caretaker at Yuanwang Hotel. He can enjoy (play) the hotel's luxurious rooms, endless entertainment facilities, and endless food without hard work, just through the caretaker. The key is that there is no Overseen by others, he is free to release his evil spirit. Being suppressed for too long in ordinary society made him very uncomfortable, as evidenced by the beating of his son three years ago. So even though the hotel manager told him so much about the hotel's terrifying history, and even mentioned the horror of the former guard's murder of his wife, Jack didn't think it was a problem, because such a job was the life goal of a person like him, No work and all play, laying the groundwork for "whoever wants to leave is the enemy". He didn't even mention the hotel's horrific history on the phone and on the way there, because their feelings didn't matter to him and would undermine his goals. Danny Shining understood his father Jack's thoughts deeply, and got two more prompts, one was the sea of blood gushing out of the hotel elevator, and the other was the two sisters. Generally, children will shrink back and not go to the hotel in this situation, but Dan Danny still went bravely and didn't care about the historical stories of cannibalism he heard on the road. It can be seen that Danny is confident and very courageous. Although he is still young and can't defy the will of adults, he is confident to cope with the next situation. Father Jack didn't even think about entering the upper class at that time.
As soon as Danny came to the hotel Shining, he gave the two sisters another reminder: the two sisters looked at each other with a smile and left, indicating that everyone is very satisfied when they first arrived here, and there will be a honeymoon period.
The conversation between Harrow and Danny: The two people's Shining abilities are different. They are super strong. When they first met Harrow, he knew that Danny had Shining abilities, but Danny knew that Harrow was afraid of room 237. Human beings are very powerful. Both actually know all the history and secrets of the hotel, and both know that the Jack family's disaster in the hotel will start in room 237, but Halloran makes it clear that there is nothing in room 237 and keeps Danny away, who actually knows about room 237 The secrets and the mind of Harrow. The Shining ability can understand the hotel (the essence of capitalism), which helps Harrow to be promoted to the hotel chef (the only black man in the hotel), but Harrow understands that the hotel is not happy with himself, but he is not happy with his own ability and The identity, as well as the overall situation, have a precise judgment, and cannot and will not offend the hotel. Although Danny is young, the powerful Shining not only makes him understand everything about the hotel, but also understands Harrow's mind and Jack's nature, but Danny is not afraid, from the moment he decides to come to the hotel, he decides to challenge, like A complete leader. Both are opponents that the hotel wants to get rid of most.
The beginning of the confrontation between Jack and his wife and children: Jack didn't even get up at 11:30 for most of the first month (lazy), and his wife delivered breakfast to bed every day. Jack enjoyed it, but one day after a month, his wife was delivering breakfast. Asked about Jack's writing, and asked Jack to keep writing every day. Jack was extremely disgusted by it, but habitually said ok. The next day, he appeared in the hall and threw tennis balls, without writing a word on the printing paper. According to the situation at the time, it can be inferred that before coming to Yuanwang Hotel, Jack was just an incompetent husband and a failed father, and had no status at home and in society. He hysterically thinks his wife and son are burdens and hates them. His incompetence and the fact that he has beaten his son have always been threatened by the moral and ethical values of his wife and others, but before he came to Yuanwang Hotel, he could only be forced to pretend, which made him He was very depressed. Now, everything has changed dramatically because of the job as a guard at Yuanwang Hotel. This job not only improves the quality of life, but also he does not have to continue writing and can sleep in all day (no work), and his wife is also very satisfied. Bringing breakfast to bed (all play) for himself every day for a month is exactly what he is pursuing in life, and I hope it will continue like this, forever, forever. But one day later, his wife asked him to keep writing (work) every day, breaking his sweet dream and awakening the devil in his heart, because he hated work, and even more hated his wife for forcing him to work.
The hotel and Danny began to confront each other: Danny didn't think about room 237 in the first month, but one day later, Danny came across room 237 and even tried to open the door, the door was locked, did not go in. Before Danny came to the hotel, The Shining had a warning of danger, but he came bravely; Halloran clearly told him to stay away from Room 237, but he chose to enter in this encounter a month later, without any fear. The hotel knew of Danny's powerful Shining abilities and felt a huge threat, so the door was locked to prevent a head-on conflict. The Shining gave a picture of the two sisters, and the two sisters are intact (representing that they are in peace for the time being). Danny's test broke the calm, and the hotel began to feel a great threat.
Jack goes to the beginning of the hysteria: Jack threatens his wife not to disturb events during writing. His father, Jack, started writing, but he was fine if he didn't write. He wrote the whole article, but there was only one sentence: "Working all day, no entertainment made Jack a fool." The more he wrote, the more hysterical he hated his wife for letting him work. , Jack's sense of accomplishment became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more confident. In one of his wife's meal deliveries, an incident of scolding his wife for disrupting his writing thoughts happened, and he made rules for his wife not to disturb him during his writing. There was a weird smile on the top, and the shot lasted for 30 seconds. That weird smile showed: Jack felt that he finally got rid of his incompetent personality after he came to the hotel, and there was no other person to supervise him. He was now in an absolute dominant position, and he felt the different evil pleasure of being able to do whatever he wanted right away. It should be possible to avoid being forced to work by his wife as before, and he has already begun to plan to take revenge on his wife and children.
The next day, when Danny was playing as usual, the two sisters appeared again. The difference is that this time the two sisters said "play with us, forever, forever, forever", and the two sisters who had never appeared before were crossed. The image of the corpse also appeared, terrifying Danny. This is a double reminder from The Shining to Danny, one reminder is the sentence "forever, forever, forever", and the other reminder is a horizontal corpse. The smart Jack has fully understood the meaning of the reminder: Father Jack is about to burst out of the original animal nature. Danny and his mother are about to face real danger, and the trigger for it all will be the thought of mother and son not liking the hotel or leaving the hotel, Danny Deeply understand.
Next, Danny went back to the house to get the fire truck and met his father Jack. The dialogue confirmed this. Dad asked Danny how he was playing in the hotel? Danny said yes. In fact, Danny didn't want to come in the first place. Just now, there was another scene of the sister's corpse, which made him terrified. How could it be good, but Danny still replied that he had a good time. Danny asks dad if you're not feeling well? Dad said it was just a little tired. Danny then asked why don't you sleep? Dad said I couldn't sleep and I had a lot of things to do (planning how to get revenge on my wife and son). It was Dad's turn to tentatively ask Danny directly if he liked the hotel? Danny didn't answer (answering if he liked would be tortured by his father Jack for a long time, answering if he didn't like it would result in direct killing by his father Jack). Dad said I like it here, don't you? Danny reluctantly said I guess I liked it. Dad went on to say the terrifying phrase almost identical to the twins' "I wish we could live here forever, forever, forever, forever", confirming The Shining's cue. Danny knew that his father had fallen in love with the hotel and the psychological superiority that the hotel brought to his father. His father's animal shackles had been opened, and he was about to take revenge and torture on their mother and son. Everything was unavoidable. Danny actually asked his father directly, "You will never hurt my mother and me, right?" Father Jack was stunned for a moment (the child was able to directly poke his own thoughts), and asked his son Danny, "Did mother tell you?", Dan Ni said no. Next comes the lied assurance from father Jack. Father and son finished their dialogue. Foreshadowing: Father Jack has already started planning to take revenge on the mother and son, and was actually stabbed by his son Danny. In addition, the shadow of beating his son 3 years ago kept him hysterical, and then Danny was beaten in room 237.
A tennis ball (the one that is officially father Jack's) rolls in front of Danny who is playing. Danny follows the direction of the tennis ball and finds that the door to room 237 has been opened. The Shining and Halloran reminded Danny that the disaster will start here, don't go in, but the brave Danny did not avoid it.
The continuous screaming in his father's dream attracted his wife who was working. After being woken up, Jack did not shy away from telling his wife that the content of his nightmare was to slaughter and chop his wife and children into pieces. This is a blatant threat, and it has to be achieved through "acting" to achieve his greatest pleasure, which is more full of pleasure than the last time he scolded his wife. Then son Danny appeared with a bruised neck, father Jack said nothing, son Danny said nothing. The father and son knew what happened in room 237. The mother seemed to guess that the husband hit the son (after all, it happened 3 years ago), and asked the husband Jack, Jack did not answer (by default, waiting for the son Danny to say it, and then he It broke out and took revenge on the mother and son and the beating incident 3 years ago, which was carefully planned to achieve his greatest pleasure. There was no one near the hotel, and he considered himself to be God). But unexpectedly, Danny didn't say anything. The smart and brave Danny knew that breaking through and speaking out would be the real beginning of the mother and son's disaster. At present, it is impossible for the mother and son to fight against the father's prostitute. If you don't say it, there may be a turning point: convert the father to make him repent, or ask for help from the outside world (Halloran).
Jack came to GOLD ROOM for the first time: Jack's fall has begun, and only fallen souls can approach the hotel's core GOLD ROOM. Jack came to the bar and said to himself "Now I'm willing to pay any price for a glass of wine, even sell my soul", then Lloyd (the white godfather, the leader of the betrayal of souls) appeared and found Jack through their conversation. It's not the first time here. Now his treatment in GOLD ROOM is still at a lower level, only Lloyd receives him coldly, and he needs to swipe a credit card (no money) to drink. Wine is pleasure and reward, and now Jack still needs to plan (pay for himself) to get reward and pleasure, because his soul has not been sold thoroughly enough. The following is evidence: He admitted to Lloyd that he did hurt his son Danny once 3 years ago, but she only hated his wife, because seeing her made Jack unforgettable about it, Jack said that he still likes his son Danny very much . If he really liked his son, he wouldn't hurt his son for the second time in room 237, but he still lied and said he liked it, which shows that his soul has not been sold thoroughly enough, and he still has a little conscience, which is why he is not treated at GOLD ROOM now See why.
The Mad Woman Incident in Room 237: Danny and the hotel fight over Jack. The Shining Tony knows that there is no real person in room 237, but the hotel has used a fake beauty in this room to win over his father Jack to get him a pleasure reward, making him a better impression of the hotel and more reluctance to leave, and then use Jack to harass his wife. and Son's Hate to get rid of Danny. Danny tries to save his father Jack, and if successful, not only eliminates his father's threat to him, but also makes the hotel do nothing. For Wendy, she was not quite sure that her husband Jack hit her son again. When she heard her son Danny said that it was a mad woman from 237, she actually believed it. Danny's idea is as follows: No matter what, the father Jack can only give his wife the answer "There is nothing in the room". If the father Jack still has a conscience, he should know the good intentions of his son Danny and admit to his wife that he beat his son. If it's hard to tell the truth, you can also lie and say that the son made it by himself, then the family's life can go on. Danny knew that the hotel was using the fake beauty to compete with him for his father. Danny used the Shining function to monitor his father Jack's actions. Just when the father Jack and the beauty wanted to xxoo, the son Danny used his extremely powerful Shining function (Danny writes. camera) turned the beauty into a female corpse, but the hotel failed. Frightened, Jack explained to his wife that there was nothing in room 237, and reassured his wife that Danny might have injured himself. Originally everything went according to Danny's plan, but Wendy suddenly suggested to her husband that she wanted to leave the hotel, which touched Jack's bottom line (Jack wanted to stay in the hotel forever and ever) and made a big taboo ( In the film, Danny's terrified eyes when monitoring the progress of the situation explains everything), Jack immediately changed his face and said that when he was about to do something, he would never go back to the past, and he would never let his wife and son ruin him again. life. Danny knew that saving Jack failed, and Shining immediately gave a reddrum (in turn, "murder") prompt and a picture of a sea of blood gushing from the elevator. Jack's slaughter of his mother and himself was inevitable.
Danny is also preparing another way out: contacting Hololang through The Shining and asking him to come to the rescue. The room movie where Halloran lived gave several close-up shots, showing that this black man lived a better life, much better than Jack, that this black man occupied the opportunities of white people and was hated by people like Jack; Lang understands that the hotel is actually unhappy with him, but he has a precise judgment on his own ability and identity, as well as the overall situation, and he cannot and does not want to offend the hotel; Halloran knows that Danny will encounter an accident at the hotel, but only reminds him and does not want to. Without taking any further action, he watched TV at home; when Danny used The Shining for help, Harrow was almost frozen. At that moment, Harrow should understand that it was not a question of wanting to go, but a question of having to go, maybe He also had a premonition that his destiny was coming. In addition, according to the display in the house, Halloran should always be single, which is also an advance arrangement for his destiny.
Jack comes to GOLD ROOM for the second time: Danny's efforts to save his father have been scuttled by his mother Wendy's attempt to leave the hotel, and father Jack has established the idea of slaughtering his wife and children, and the balance has tipped in the hotel's favor. The hotel also greeted Jack with balloons in the corridor where Jack went to GOLD ROOM. Unlike the first time, Jack received an over-standard welcome when he came to GOLD ROOM this time. All the party members showed up and Lloyd greeted him with a smile. Even Jack's drinking has been waived by the hotel. The hotel believes that the conditions for removing Danny are available, and this time, Grandy is dispatched to give Jack a direct face-to-face interview and negotiate business matters. Grandi said that he had been in the hotel all the time (after killing the two sisters, he had been accepted as a waiter by the hotel), and that Jack had always been a guard (a euphemistic expression that the hotel has accepted him as a member, and he can give up his worries and go to the slaughter). ), Jack smiled knowingly. Grandi directly taught his two daughters that it was precisely because of the idea of burning them and leaving the hotel that he "corrected" them in time, and said that Jack should do the same, and finally Grandi reminded Jack that Danny Using The Shining and Haroran to get in touch with Jack.
Harrow's eyes were dull as he arrived by plane, as if he had a premonition that his fate was coming.
Wendy finally sees what her husband Jack wrote (the whole line "Working all day, no entertainment makes Jack a jerk"). Then Jack appeared and officially put into action the massacre of his wife and children. After his wife expressed the idea of leaving and was accepted by the hotel, Jack no longer concealed it, and he enjoyed the process very much and was in a state of excitement. Danny monitors what's going on through The Shining, and again gets hints of Shining redrum (murder) and images of blood gushing from the elevator, and the carnage has begun. But what Jack did not expect was that his wife, Wendy, was caught without a hand, and she beat herself down the stairs with a baseball bat and was seriously injured, and finally locked herself in the storage room.
Although Jack had destroyed the sleigh car and the radio beforehand, Harrow was already on his way to the hotel. If the hotel did not take action in person, the whole game would be lost. The hotel opened the door to the storage room for Jack. At this point, the hotel also began to move towards the front desk, no longer shy about its own ugliness. Originally, only Shining understood the ugliness of the hotel, but now ordinary people can see it. The strange noise Wendy heard when she ran away in the hotel later and seeing the man in the bear coat giving the white aristocrat xxoo is proof.
Danny's Shining Tony knew that the hotel had personally taken action to release Jack from the storage room, and had to wake up Wendy, who thought she was safe and sleeping, in order to save the two from danger, and prepared a knife for Wendy. A reminder of redrum (murder) is written on the door. The child stood in front of Wendy's bed and kept reciting "redrum". There was a transition in his voice. It was from Tony the Shining to Danny. Wendy still doesn't know The Shining exists.
Jack was slashed by Wendy with a knife, and he was injured by Wendy and dragged into the storage room. He felt that Wendy was temporarily difficult to deal with. When he heard the sound of the motor coming from Harrow, he began to deal with Harrow first. Long. It's strange that Harrow took so much effort to come here, but he was unarmed, and he probably knew that the danger was happening, but he went directly to find someone in the hall, and was finally hacked to death by Jack with an axe.
Wendy was looking for Danny in the hotel, heard the strange noise in the hotel, and saw the man in the bear coat giving the white aristocrat xxoo. It is said that the bear is one of the totems of the Indians, and this event represents that some Indians who have sold their bodies and souls can only approach the hotel, and can only do low-level errands for the white nobles. The white Grandi who hacked his wife and daughter to death in the hotel can still get the job of a hotel waiter, which is much better than the Indians.
Wendy saw Haloran who was hacked to death, and the hotel sent a brain-splitting Grandi to terrorize Wendy again, and the hotel let a sea of blood pour out of the elevator to terrorize again. When Grandy shows up, he says, "Awesome party, isn't it?" The hotel is happy with Jack's hacking of Halloran. Even though Wendy was afraid, she did not lose her mind and continued to look for her son Danny.
The smart Danny froze his father Jack into a maze to death, found his own footprints and escaped successfully, and escaped from the hotel with his mother. Jack completely sold his soul. Although he didn't kill Danny, the hotel's biggest threat, he killed the hotel's thorn in the middle of the process, Halloran. The hotel was very satisfied. Although Danny and Wendy were not killed, the hotel was not killed either. Sabotage, but also achieved the purpose of repeated intimidation, and officially arranged for Jack to become a member of the GOLD ROOM party after his death (photo). full play
film metaphor
This is a horror film that satirizes capitalism. Two lines are carried out. The bright line is that Jack, the loser in life, carried out a massacre because his wife and children destroyed his dream of staying in a hotel forever; the dark line has a grander meaning. One day it will be subverted.
The ending alludes to reality and leaves suspense. The two sisters, representing ordinary white people, were the first rebels who tried to overthrow the rule (burning down the hotel) and ended up being massacred by a proxy (father Grandi). Danny represents a new ideological force different from capitalism (redrum "red drum" may have something to do with communism?), this group of white people has the ability to shine (theory, method, boldness, forward-looking), let the ruling The class (hotel) feels a huge threat. Although the force is still young, it has bravely launched this challenge to the ruling class (hotel), uniting ordinary whites (represented by Mother Wendy) and Shining blacks (Harrow). Representative Lang), although it did not succeed in the end, the ruling class (hotel) personally stepped forward this time and showed its ugly face to suppress it. In this crackdown, the ruling class (the hotel) by the way got rid of the black class (The Shining Halloran) and terrorized the ordinary white people (Wendy), but the hotel was not destroyed; the ordinary white people (Wendy) also passed this Events have seen the true face of the ruling class (hotels). Black (Halloran the Shining) is not enough to be a leader in subverting capitalist rule (hotel), but in the face of megatrends he chooses to help the new idea resistance (Danny) to sacrifice and make his own contribution (bringing the toboggan). Although the New Thought Force (Danny) tried unsuccessfully to rebel against the ruling class (Hotel), the shackles of reality they faced (Jack) had been destroyed, and the New Thought Force (Danny) and the common white man (Wendy) were able to escape, the common white man The ugly face of the ruling class (hotel) can be seen clearly, which alludes to the current capitalist society. Ordinary people have gradually discovered its ugly face, and new ideological forces have been gradually formed. The Shining (Tony) has not yet shown his true colors, he is still young, and it is conceivable that he will accumulate great power in the next growth without shackles, and one day he will regroup, unite all other ordinary forces, and overthrow capital. Dominion (hotel) rule.
Explain two questions:
Since the hotel has the ability to open the door of the storage room, it must also be able to control the other facilities of the hotel to kill Danny directly, why didn't it do so? It is theoretically possible, but it cannot be explained to the outside world. Once the real face is seen, it may lead to large-scale riots or lead to the overthrow of the hotel (rule). After the two sisters were killed in 1970, hotel executives and guests have begun to have concerns. In 1970, thousands of Kent State University students (like two sisters) clashed with the National Guard when they were protesting against the US invasion of Cambodia. The soldiers used force to shoot at the demonstrators, killing 4 students. , 9 people were injured. The incident caused more than 450 school strikes across the United States. Five days later, 100,000 people protested in Washington, the capital of the United States. Dare to ask the American ruling machine to shoot again when this kind of thing happens again? No, that would put yourself at risk of being disrupted in advance.
Why didn't Halloran kill Jack? Jack was so stupid that even his wife Wendy couldn't surrender. The first time she was injured by Wendy and locked the storage room, it was equivalent to a complete failure. The second time she was slashed by Wendy with a knife. It can be imagined that if Harrow came to the hotel, brought a weapon, joined Wendy and Danny, and killed Stupid Jack, it would not be a problem at all. Why didn't Halloran do this? Because Halloran wanted to save Danny by sacrificing himself, leaving the strongest force for the subversion of the hotel. If Jack is really killed, according to Danny's personality and plan, the hotel will inevitably be destroyed, I am afraid that Hallowan can't stop it. In the case of the hotel's own destruction, in order to protect itself, it must come forward to eliminate all threats (Danny, Halloran, Wendy), and the hotel will also be very likely to be subverted by events similar to or exceeding 1970. But only "highly likely". Halloran deeply felt that killing Jack Jade and Burning the Stones would not necessarily bring about the hotel's subversion. Besides, Danny, who has super Shining ability, rarely sacrificed in this world. It's a pity that he would sacrifice himself and let the hotel gain something (the hotel always wanted to get rid of himself). It has restrained and can keep Danny (Danny is chased by Jack to escape and has no time to destroy the hotel, Jack is too stupid to kill Danny), wait until Danny who escapes becomes strong in the future Time for disruption. Harrow's resolute death can be said to have good intentions, so when he came, he didn't bring any weapons, and he didn't resist. He had foreseen and planned his own destiny.
