The Shining
Being that it's near Halloween and all, I watched Kubrick's The Shining again tonight. What do you guys make of the very last scene where they show the picture of the 1921 4th of July Ball where Jack is front and center?

I think that whole movie is just trying a little too hard to be weird.

SPOILERS
That Kubrick smoked too much drugs when he was young? Seriously tho, I really like The Shining, and Jack Nicholson is really good in the part. Up until the end I had no problems with the plot. But with the the framed picture at the end... I dunno what to think of it. |

Re: The Shining
It is to show the audience that Jack has always been the caretaker. Easily one of the best suspense/horror movies. Kubrick pretty much went against the grain and made a horror movie that didnt follow any of the standard rules. He even added [censored] to movie that wasn't in the book. But it made the movie better, unlike most directors that just screw up books. The picture wasn't in the book.

Who was driving the car toward the hotel at the start of the movie? |

Re: The Shining
The ending I am pretty sure was meant to be left open. You could see the picture as him being the caretaker along. Which can be supported by many clues in the movie. The butler tells him you have always been the caretaker.
You can hear his son's tricyle over the music when he drives up to the hotel. |
