The Shining has an atmosphere that just cannot be beat. There's no other movies that put me in that uncomfortable, creeped out state. (Except, maybe the end of Don't Look Now)

And Jack is the best villian, ever. He has a way of carrying himself and speaking and just being Jack that's believable, odd and downright scary.

Too bad they changed the ending...

So can anyone explain the logic behind the Jack-in-the-painting at the end?

What does it signify?

The end of the film was history repeating itself (as in reincarnation).

Earlier in the film he spoke to Delbert Grady - a previous caretaker who chopped up his family claiming to have 'corrected them'.

Jack told Delbert that infact Delbert had been the caretaker (and murdered his family), Delbert told Jack he had 'always been the Caretaker here'.

The conversation between Jack and the ghost of Grady:-

Grady tells Jack he has "always been the caretaker here" - do you think this insinuates Torrence being a re-incarnation of a previous caretaker? The one in the old picture at the end?

So bearing in mind Grady is a different person again - another caretaker, who has murdered his family - just how many caretakers have been up to no good at the Overlook? Did the "first" Jack also murder his family, or was it just Grady?

Still non-the-wiser...

The Shining was a terriffic movie. Jack Nicholson was the best choice for the part. IMO, I firmly believe that the Exorcist out ranks it in "The scariest" movie. And as far as "Most disturbing" goes...watch Cannibal Holocaust. That will change your mind.

He was Grady in a different life (reincarnation) ergo he was, is and always will be the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel.
