Candiru Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Jack Torrance never froze to death. The whole film is a lead up to him ending up in a mental institution. Scatman Crothers even survived the axe and visited him and the chief, Billy Bibbit, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pennywise Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Then Jack was propelled into space (frozen) and found 1000's of years later by the alien race of mandaruoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Then Jack was propelled into space (frozen) and found 1000's of years later by the alien race of mandaruoo The Shining is actually a prequel to Prometheus. Jack Torrance comes back as a penis/vagina snake, inflicting his abusive father tendencies on unsuspecting space scientists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphod Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 the shining is a prequel to as good as it gets. jack didn't die and instead relocated to nyc and continued his career as a novelist, albeit with obsessive compulsive disorder that masks his full blown psychosis. he cares for his gay neighbor's dog, projecting a past life onto it. at night he tells the dog that he once had a son, but the dog is his only son now. near the end of the film, jack, now named melvin, murders helen hunt with an ax. he then throws his gay neighbor off the top of their penthouse apartment building, jealous and afraid that the neighbor will take his dog from him. the film ends with jack driving through the countryside with the dog, repeating his son's name.

Guest Pennywise Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Jack actually symbolised a pencil and the hotel represented the ever increasing threat of the ball point pen to the pencil manufacturing companies of the 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was showing that even though new technologies were intended to make life easier and allow for more time to play, they were just used as an outlet for violence and pornography.

lumpenprol Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Actually The Shining is a thinly veiled metaphor for the relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith (the various Indian motifs throughout the film being the most obvious clue). This analysis is too complex to be summed up in a few sentences on watmm, but in rough terms Jack is John Smith (the axe representing his manhood), Wendy is Pocahontas (representing the abject horror of the Native American in the face of Anglo Manifest Destiny), and Danny is Pocahontas' clitoris.

YELLOW Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 My family watched The Shining the night before Christmas this year. We had about 40 minutes left which we watched Christmas morning before opening presents. It was pretty silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
