The origin of “The Shining” and the hidden meaning of “Observation Hotel”

Director Stanley Kubrick, who had already established his reputation with `` 2001: A Space Odyssey: A Clockwork Orange Orange'' (1971), chose the subject after `` Barry Lyndon '' (1975). The Shining was horror author Stephen King's third novel, published in 1977.

``The Shining'' refers to the supernatural powers possessed by two characters (the child Danny and the hotel's head chef Halloran), specifically the abilities of precognition and telepathy. King was inspired by the opening line of John Lennon's 1970 single "Instant Karma," "Well we all shine on," when he decided on the name and title for this superpower. Karma is ``karma'' in Indian thought such as Buddhism, and is a concept that is related to ``causal and retribution.'' This idea is also connected to the idea of ​​reincarnation.

"Instant Karma"

The story is set at the Overlook Hotel. The subtitle of the Blu-ray version says "observation hotel," but in addition to "looking down, overlooking," the word "overlook" also has meanings such as "to monitor" and "to stare with an evil eye and cast a spell." . The word Overlook, which has such English nuances, is an excellent name that carries an ominous omen, befitting a hotel where the building seems to have a mind of its own.
