Extended information:

The entire plot of the "The Shining" movie is as follows:

The film begins with the protagonist Jack coming to the Overlook Hotel to interview for the position of administrator. The person in charge told him about a tragedy that happened here in 1970: the previous administrator, Charles Grady, hacked his wife and daughter to death and shot himself in the head one day in winter. The camera switches and Jack's wife Wendy and son Danny appear. From the beginning, Danny knew in advance that his father's interview would be successful. This was the first time Danny's Shining was activated.

When the person in charge led Jack’s family to visit the hotel, Danny’s Shining was activated for the second time. He saw the twin sisters who had appeared in his dream at the door of the playroom. With doubts and a hint of fear, Danny mentioned Room 237 in front of Dick, the black chef who also had the Shining Spirit. Next, the director showed the development of the plot to the audience in sequence in the form of a diary.

a month later: Jack woke up in the morning and told Wendy that he seemed familiar with this place. In the afternoon, Wendy took Danny to play in the hedge maze. While Jack was outside, he saw Wendy and Danny from the maze model on the table. ?

Tuesday?: The weather forecast warns that Denver is about to face a snowstorm. Wendy went to tell Jack the news to remind everyone to prepare early, but Jack said she interrupted his writing ideas and got angry. He also made a so-called "new rule" not to disturb him casually in the future.

Thursday?: Things on this day were particularly simple and profound. Except for the figures of Wendy and Danny playing in the snow, the camera focused on Jack's face for a long time. His eyes looked dull and strange, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Saturday?: Wendy tried to communicate with the outside world by radio, and she succeeded. To prevent accidents, she left the radio on.

And Danny saw the twin sisters for the third time. What's more, he saw the tragic scene of the sisters' blood splattering when they died. Danny's Shining is activated for the third time, and it tells Danny that what he saw is not real. ?

Monday?: Danny and Wendy were watching TV, and Danny asked to go to the room to get his fire truck. Wendy asked him not to wake his father. And when Danny entered the room quietly, he found that Jack was not resting, but sitting on the edge of the bed. Jack picked Danny up and said something to him. Jack repeatedly emphasized how much he loved Danny. Jack's way of speaking and facial expressions make people feel increasingly weird and terrifying. ?

Wednesday?: Danny was playing in the hotel corridor, and suddenly a ball rolled in front of him. He raised his head and saw room 237, which he had always been deeply afraid of. The door was opened by someone, and he was curious. Driven, he walked in anyway. At this time, Wendy, who was inspecting the boiler, suddenly heard Jack yelling frantically. She ran over and woke up Jack who was struggling in the nightmare.

Jack told her, "I just had the scariest dream in my life. I dreamed that I killed you and Danny, and not only killed you, I also cut you into pieces..." ..." At this time, Danny walked in from outside without saying a word. Wendy was confused and approached him only to find a large bruise on Danny's neck from being pinched. Wendy thought of Jack's accidental dislocation of Danny's arm due to drunkenness a few years ago, and she couldn't help but get angry and cursed Jack. ?

Jack walked into the hotel and ballroom in trouble and irritation. At this moment, he desperately needed alcohol to anesthetize himself, "No matter what the cost, even if it costs my damn soul." When he raised his head, he saw the bartender Lloyd standing in front of him. After a few glasses of wine, Jack The anger and grievance accumulated in the body finally broke out. He blamed Wendy and Danny for the impact they had on his life and future, and it was out of control. ?

At this moment, Wendy ran over in panic and told him that there was a crazy woman in room 237, and she was the murderer who choked Danny. Jack walked into room 237 and saw a naked woman coming out of the bathtub and kissing him. Jack started to kiss her, but in the mirror he found that the woman in his arms turned out to be a terrifying rotting corpse. He ran out in despair, but hid everything from Wendy.

At the same time, Dick, a black chef who also had the Shining Spirit, had a premonition that something bad was going to happen in the hotel, so he began to try to get in touch with Jack's family through various channels. Wendy asked Jack to take her and Danny down the mountain, and Jack became extremely angry. He walked away and once again went to the bar of the dance hall to get drunk. ?

8:00am?: Wendy couldn't stand the mental torture and decided to have a final showdown with Jack on whether to go down the mountain. Holding a baseball bat in hand, she carefully walked into the hall where Jack worked daily, only to find all of Jack's works during this period - a large pile of paper, with a sentence repeated in different formats: all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. (The literal meaning is: Endless work makes Jack boring).

At the same time, Danny in another room once again saw the bright red "redrum" on the bathroom door. Wendy was shocked and frightened. Jack suddenly appeared from behind her like a ghost. Jack began to press on Wendy step by step, asking her why she never considered her future and career. During the argument, Wendy knocked Jack unconscious with a bat and locked him in the storage room. ?

4:00pm?: Wendy discovers that the radio and snowmobile have been destroyed. Just as she was thinking about how to get out of the car, Danny suddenly shouted "redrum" again. Wendy woke up from her dream and found that Jack had ran out of the storage room at some point and was banging on the bedroom door frantically. The frightened Wendy forced Danny out of the bathroom window in desperation, but she couldn't get through.

Jack finally broke open the bathroom door, and Wendy cut Jack's hand with a knife in desperation.

At this time, Wendy saw various strange things: a man wearing a bear costume with his butt exposed and acting as a white KJ; the overwhelming skulls in the ballroom, and the waiter with a bloody head and a bloody wine drinking blood wine. Wendy ran out of the hotel desperately. In front of the snowmobile driven by Dick, she saw Danny, who had already circled around with Jack and ran out of the hedge maze. The mother and son climbed onto the snowmobile desperately, and finally Escape from this place of right and wrong before Jack finds them. And Jack froze to death in the maze that night.
