The film, The Shining, shows many scenes within the film itself which there were many turn of events. All of the scenes shown in the film seem like a horror movie due to all of the scenes seeming as a mystery and make the audience think about what is actually happening in the movie. At the beginning of the film, it first pictured the whole forest being seen above in the skies; then later on looking on Jack with his wife and son driving to the place where they would be staying. It also showed the importance of some people within the film; people like Danny, Jack’s son, who has an “imaginary” friend named Tony. People said Danny was one of those who had “the shine.”

           

The movie was scary enough to include the part of having Jack and his family go up to a “haunted” hotel and have to watch over it, but also to hear that there was another person who did this job with his family, which made that guy go insane and made him kill his wife and two daughters. That story seemed like an urban legend, but also felt like destiny for people who come up to look after the hotel. It seemed as Tony was included to make sure that nothing was to happen to Danny; that would probably explain why Danny/Tony would write “Red Rum” on the walls to warn his mother about how there is a murder in the building. Although it may seem as Jack may have been taken over to kill his family, but it did seem like Danny had “the shine” for a reason which explained why Danny and his mother were able to escape the hotel for their own safety. “The shine” was Danny’s gift to help fight off what was happening at the hotel and it made it possible to stop the sort of destiny people would have for going to the hotel and deciding to look over the place for a certain time period.
