ok...well we were just talking about his in english for some reason
so first of all, the lady basically loses his son for a bit (cause he's all like "redrum, redrum, redrum"), and she also loses her husband. then she starts to see things.
The shining actually wasn't about the murderes in the Outlook hotel, but about the murder of the Native American race.t
his signifies how apart from the world she feels. now, the reason for the animals is because the hotel was built on an old indian burial ground. in practially every scene there is some sort of reference to indians. and then the lady goes so out of her head that she sees the blood pouring out of the elevator which i'm guessing symbolizes all the deaths of the indians. but idk...do some reading online. i'm sure there's tons of things if u search like "the shining analysis" on google or something
what's pretty awesome though is that the hotel is the Timberline Lodge near Mt. Hood
