What it takes to be remembered

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2015)

I think the Shinning is about being recognised and remembered. Yellow is a symbol for fear, being afraid, red for aggression, green for shelter/security(the labyrinth is green) and a few other places. The history doesn't remember the writer as much as it remembers the bloody days(holocaust jews, indians being murdered), also there's a reference about a past murder at the hotel. The OVERLOOK hotel, our main character wants to SHINE, not to be overlooked, there's a quote from the movie: "Places are like people, some shine and some don't", Jack wants to shine, wants to be remembered.
He cares about his reputation, he tried to obtain it the right way by writing ( 'Have you ever had a *single moment's thought* about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the *Overlook* Hotel until May the *first*. Does it *matter to you at all* that the *owners* have placed their *complete confidence* and *trust* in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a *contract*, in which I have accepted that *responsibility?* Do you have the *slightest idea* what a *moral and ethical principal* is? *Do you?* Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? *Has it?*'), but realises how dull it is and so, sadly he won't be remembered( "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"), intensionally spelled wrong on the papers Wendy found, as he is going for the wrong ways now, same for REDRUM( backwards MURDER ).
In the end he is frozen and forgotten, though there is a picture a black and white picture at the end( reference to Holocaust ), giving 'hope' that he would be remembered for what he did.
Another great movie by Stanley, 10/10
