In order to get rid of his frustration at work, he decided to take over a luxurious mountain hotel. It's a big house in a remote place, which smells gloomy everywhere. It is said that its previous manager lost his mind for no reason and killed his whole family. But Jack didn't listen to his friend Danny's advice and moved into this hotel with his wife Wendy. They made new rules, and Jack also set up a lounge for his own creation. However, weirdness gradually emerged from the calm surface. Jack began to frequent the hotel bar, looking for his past and recalling those bloody pictures in his mind; Abnormal things finally happened inevitably ... Many people who saw this movie accused it of being "rubbish", which puzzled the audience. Indeed, watching this film requires a lot of homework. Unlike The Da Vinci Code, which has complete logical reasoning from beginning to end, even if the audience knows nothing about the religious background, they can figure out most of it from this complete reasoning. The Shining, however, is a horror film with obvious suspense design, but the answer is extremely secretive. It is precisely because of the secrecy of its answer and implication that it is innocently branded as "garbage". One of the most common words in this film is "sharping", and it can be said that the story of the whole film revolves around this word. So, what exactly is "sharping"? The word "sharping" is translated from the original "shining". Many film critics say that it means the sixth sense in this film. I don't entirely agree with this. After reviewing this film for more than ten times, I gave the word "sharping" a more accurate definition-remote sensing ability. As we know, the sixth sense is usually used to sense what may happen in the future, or an ability to help people make the right choice in an emergency, which can be said to be more intuitive. Remote sensing capabilities can not only travel through the future, but also reproduce what has happened. It is by no means equal to simple intuition, it is produced by the mutual stimulation of subjective ideas and objective environment, and to some extent, it is equivalent to the subconscious's advanced response. After a general understanding of the meaning of sharping, let's review all the details of this film from the beginning. It is worth mentioning that the film has been applied to the flowing shooting angle many times, and the effect of light and shadow is excellent. At the beginning of the film, the protagonist Jack comes to the overlook hotel to interview for the position of administrator. The person in charge told him about a tragedy that happened here in 197: Charles Grady, the former administrator, hacked his wife and daughter to death one day in winter and shot himself. The camera switches, and Jack's wife Wendy and son Danny appear. From the beginning, Danny knew in advance that his father's interview would be successful. This was the first time that Danny's sharping was launched. When the person in charge showed Jack's family around the hotel, Danny's sharping was opened for the second time. He saw the twin sisters who had appeared in his dream before at the gate of the game room. With doubt and a little fear, in front of Dick, a black chef who also has sharping, Danny mentioned Room 237. Then, the director showed the development of the plot to the audience in the form of a diary. 1. a month later Jack woke up in the morning and told Wendy that he was familiar with this place. In the afternoon, Wendy took Danny into the hedge maze to play, while Jack was outside, but he saw Wendy and Danny from the maze model on the table. 2. The weather forecast on Tuesday tells that Denver is about to face a snowstorm. Wendy went to tell Jack the news in order to remind everyone to prepare early, but Jack was furious when she said she interrupted her writing ideas. He also set a so-called "new rule" that he should not enter and disturb him casually in the future. 3. The events on Thursday were particularly simple and profound. Except for Wendy and Danny playing in the snow, the camera was positioned on Jack's face for a long time. His eyes look dull and strange, and there is a mysterious smile on his face. Saturday Wendy tried to communicate with the outside world by radio, but she succeeded. In order to prevent accidents, she kept the radio on. And Danny saw the twin sisters for the third time. What's more, he saw the blood spattering when the two sisters died. Danny's sharping is activated for the third time. It tells Danny that what he sees is not true. 5. Monday Danny and Wendy watched TV, and Danny proposed to go to the room to get his fire truck. Wendy told him not to wake dad. When Danny entered the room softly, he found that Jack was not resting, but sitting on the edge of the bed. Jack picked Danny up and said something to him. Jack repeatedly stressed how much he loved Danny. This passage may be the only slightly warm picture in the whole film, although Jack's way of speaking and facial expression are getting more and more weird and scary. 6. Wednesday Danny was playing in the hotel corridor. Suddenly a ball rolled in front of him. He looked up and saw that the door of Room 237, which he had been deeply afraid of, had been opened by someone. Driven by curiosity, he still went in. Wendy, who was inspecting the boiler at this time, suddenly heard Jack screaming wildly. She ran over and woke Jack who was struggling in a nightmare. Jack told her, "I just had the most terrible dream in my life. I dreamed that I killed you and Danny, and I not only killed you, but also cut you into pieces ..." At this time, Danny came in from the outside without saying a word. Wendy was confused. When she approached him, she found a large bruise on Danny's neck. Wendy remembered that Jack dislocated Danny's arm a few years ago because of drunkenness, and she couldn't help but get angry and scold Jack. Jack walked into the hotel and the ballroom in confusion and irritability. At this time, he urgently needs alcohol to anesthetize himself. "No matter what the cost, even if I pay my damn soul." When he looked up, he saw Lloyd, the bartender, standing in front of him, drinking a few glasses of wine, and Jack's accumulated anger and grievances finally broke out. He accused Wendy and Danny of their influence on his life and future, and it was out of control. Just then, Wendy panicked and told him that there was a crazy woman in room 237, and she was the murderer who pinched Danny. Jack walked into room 237 and saw a naked woman coming out of the bathtub and kissing him. Jack started kissing her, only to find in the mirror that the woman in his arms turned out to be a terrible rotting corpse. He ran out without thinking, but he hid everything from Wendy. At the same time, Dick, a black chef who also has sharping, foresaw that something bad would happen in the hotel, so he began to try to get in touch with the Jack family through various channels. Wendy asked Jack to take her and Danny down the mountain, and Jack became very angry. He left and went to the bar of the ballroom to get drunk again. A grand party is being held in the ballroom at this time. Jack was knocked down by a waiter with a glass in his hand, and his body was covered with eggnog. The waiter carefully wiped Jack in the bathroom and accidentally revealed to Jack that his name was Delbert Grady. Jack immediately realized that the waiter in front of him was the previous administrator who killed his wife and daughter. The waiter denied it at first, but at Jack's insistence, he finally admitted it. Moreover, he tells Jack that Danny is trying to lead a stranger to the hotel with his sharping. Of course, this stranger is Dick, a black chef who has been trying to contact them in vain and decided to go up the mountain to find out for himself. At this time, Danny suddenly called a word "redrum" strangely. Jack cut off the radio and destroyed the snowmobile for downhill. 7, 8: AM Wendy couldn't stand the mental torture and decided to ask Jack for the last showdown on whether to go down the mountain. Holding a baseball bat, she carefully walked into the lobby of Jack's daily work, only to find that all of Jack's works since this time-a large stack of paper, repeated a sentence in different formats: All Work and No Play Make Jack A Dull Boy. Endless work makes Jack boring. At the same time, Danny in the other room once again saw the bright red "redrum" on the bathroom door. Wendy was shocked and scared, and Jack suddenly appeared from behind her like a ghost. Jack began to press Wendy step by step, asking her why she never considered her future and career. During the argument, Wendy knocked Jack out with a bat and locked him in the storage room. 8, 4: PM Wendy found that both the radio and the snowmobile were destroyed. I was thinking hard about how to get off the bus. Suddenly Danny shouted "redrum" again. Wendy woke up from her dream and found that Jack had run out of the storage room without knowing when, and was frantically smashing the bedroom door. Frightened out of her wits, Wendy shoved Danny out of the bathroom window in a hurry, but she couldn't get through. Jack finally broke down the bathroom door, and Wendy cut Jack's hand with a knife. At this time, Dick has come to the mountain, and Jack turns his attention to attacking Dick. Wendy finally survives and comes out of the bedroom to look for Danny. At this time, Wendy saw all kinds of visions: a man dressed in a naked bear pretending to be a white KJ; There are a lot of skulls in the ballroom, as well as waiters who are bleeding and drinking blood. Wendy ran out of the hotel desperately. In front of Dick's snowmobile, she saw Danny, who had been in a big circle with Jack and ran out of the hedge maze. Mother and son climbed on the snowmobile desperately and finally escaped from this wrong place before Jack found them. And Jack froze to death in the maze that night. Even after watching this film many times, I believe you still have a lot of questions. As I said, the essential element of a good horror film is the suspense setting of success. Maybe you will say, but there are many questions in this film that can't be solved. Shh! Never say that, or I believe that Kubrick, a sly old fox, is secretly laughing at us in heaven! I dare not say that I have understood every detail 1%, but at least the key part, I think I can answer your questions. In fact, it is not difficult to understand this film, as long as you master three key links: First, understand the historical background of the United States from the Westward Frontier Movement to the Indian Massacre. I made a general search, and the events that started and ended these two major events were roughly in the early 19th century and the late 19th century. Through these two big sports, the United States got rid of its poor hat and set foot on the list of world powers. At the beginning of the film, the person in charge of the hotel mentioned that the foundation of the hotel was the cemetery of the Indians of that year, and even it was attacked when it was built. In the 19th century, when the western frontier movement and the genocide policy were being carried out, by the beginning of the 2th century, when the hotel was completed, these two movements had basically ended. You can imagine how many Indian bones were buried under this splendor! Some film critics think that Jack was cursed by the dead Indians and retaliated against the white Americans by killing his relatives. Of course, this statement has some truth, but my point is that Jack is actually a microcosm of the colonists who moved westward in the western frontier movement, and his wife and son can be regarded as a portrayal of the original Indian residents who were killed in that year. Why? There is one of the most obvious hints in the film: At the beginning of the film, when Jack was driving his wife and children to the hotel, he talked about a group of "Donas, a colonial organization in the van era" who were buried in the snow in the mountains around here. At first, I was at a loss as to what this "van era" really meant. But in the end, when Jack first went to the bar of the ballroom to get drunk, he once said two words to Lloyd, the bartender: "The white man's mission is …", and the other is: "After five months of suffering in the van, I came back …" Many people may not have noticed these two words at all, especially the last one. At first, I couldn't understand it repeatedly, and I didn't understand why it suddenly came to ". And stayed up there for five months? Later I tried to find the answer from the word "truck". Looking up the English-Chinese dictionary, one of the solutions of truck is an open truck. At this point, I suddenly realized that this coincides with the "caravan era" mentioned in the title, but the translator has no connection with the context and the translation before and after is asymmetric, which has caused a misunderstanding. Understand this, and then check online, it is easy to find that the so-called "wagon era" is actually synonymous with the pioneering movement in the western United States, because most pioneers who moved westward at that time liked to use open trucks as transportation, so there is this saying. By then, I believe the audience can easily understand why I said that Jack represented the colonists who went west in those days. However, he was only a writer at first, and a writer with a rather frustrated career. Why did he suddenly become the epitome of colonists? This is my second point. Second, who owns sharping in the film? Of course, many people think I am an idiot. Of course, the film clearly tells us that Jack's son Danny and the black chef Dick both own sharping. This is certainly good. But what I want to say is that there are two characters with sharping who are hidden in the film. First of all, if the audience has watched the film carefully.
