talked with Laura about the meaning of The Shining . As usual, Kubrick made his film open: There are countless possibilities of interpretation. One of the more concrete clues to unravel the mystery that confronts us is the final photograph. In it, Jack Torrance appears at a party in the twenties, in the ballroom where the party appears ghost. Would the same event?
The first time Jack Torrance gold enters the room it is empty. Turn the lights, sit at the bar. Murmurs: "I would sell my soul for a beer." While the bartender Lloyd appears mysteriously, Jack seems to recognize. When I served a bourbon, Jack has no money in my wallet. Ask if your credit goes in the bar. The bartender replies that credit is used. Maybe Jack, by this informal agreement, agreed to be possessed by the spirit of Mr. Grady.
When another day returns to the hall, is a party. People seem to dress like vente years. Again want to buy bourbon but Lloyd refused the money. Jack questioned the motive, and the bartender replies that for the time being not concerned to know who paid for his drink. Rose, glass in hand and a waiter spilled a drink on your clothes. It is called Grady, and tells Jack that should take care of the hotel and "correct" his family.
I do not know if I'm stating the obvious: Jack Torrance was possessed by the spirit of the old Grady. Accepted a contract without knowing it, so it was in the "parallel universe" of the party and left in the photo. We do not see how it ends the party, but perhaps after being spotted by Grady, changed clothes and joined the party. Is a possibility.
Of course all this is confusing. As I come to these conclusions, there are many more. I would just like to draw attention to a fact that a person mentioned in a blog: The pose of Jack Torrance in dance photography is equal to that of Baphomet.
