We break down the ambiguous ending of Stanely Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's novel, The Shining, starring Jack Nicholson.
The Big Picture Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining is widely considered one of the greatest horror films of all time by fans and critics alike. Famous for its ambiguity, The Shining has one of the most heavily discussed and theorized endings in cinematic history. Based on the book of the same name by Stephen King, The Shining follows Jack Torrance , a writer who has been hired as the winter caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in snowy Colorado.
As Jack is holding his drink, a server accidentally bumps into him, causing his drink to spill on his jacket. Apologizing profusely, the server offers to clean his jacket. He tells Jack that his name is Delbert Grady , which Jack recognizes as Charles Grady, the name of the old caretaker of the Overlook Hotel.
Jack creeps up behind her to ask how she likes his book. They then partake in what is not the most productive conversation, in which Jack, of course, tells Wendy he is going to, "bash her fucking brains in." She knocks him unconscious with the bat and locks him in the kitchen pantry. Later, there is a knock on the pantry door and Jack hears Grady’s voice on the other side.
