For my essay I will be studying the Director, Stanley Kubrick and analysis a scene from The Shining, along with referencing other films he has directed such as Full Metal Jacket.
Within the scene I will be analysing the mis-en-scene, camera work, editing and sound whilst also talking about Kubrick and how he could be considered an Auteur director because of his consistent style and camera work he uses for his films.

The Shining and the meaning behind the ending.
Jack is a reincarnation made by the hotel to undergo its bidding, taking the form of a previous hotel guest who stayed there in 1921 and butchered his family, the hotel recreating the same event that happened in previous years for generations.
Kubrick wouldn't have used the line "always been the caretaker" when the butler is talking to Jack in the bathroom scene, without it meaning something. This line and the line about the butler, Delbert Grady and how he has "always been the butler", is evidence or at least a hint from Kubrick that the hotel keeps bringing them back to life as new people. The line about Jack always being the caretaker in a sense is that the photograph will last forever and he'll forever be seen within the image as well as through the reincarnations of the previous hotel guest who butchered his family.
