Jack Torrance the abusive father

I'd hate to watch a film with him

wow

Omg this the first ever shining explanation video I've watched and wow, so ridiculous!

Euh...merge with conspiracy theories thread?

 

*gets distracted and stares at betty paige being spanked*

There's no secret that Jack is an abusive drunk, he dislocated Danny's arm on a bender FFS

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.

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.

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.

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.

So why does he use a typewriter?

 

the typewriter was the drop in the bucket which took him overboard into the cuckoo's nest. the writersblock threatening his existence.

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.

And the broken radio?

They ran out of budget and couldn't afford a working one.

it's an obvious critique towards the capitalistic greed of companies that deliberately make inferior products

obviously. understood that the first time i saw the shining. so obvious.

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.

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
