I don't get the ending of The Shining (the one with jack nicholson in it) it shows him in a picture I don't understand does anybody else get it? I don't really understand the movie.

It meant that Jack was now part of the hotel, along with all of the other spirits and ghosts.

You are not alone. Director Stanley Kubrick used to have alot of little private things that only he got in his movies. If you read the book, that's not the way things happened. The made-for-TV movie is much more true to the book. But I think the movie is somewhat better probably because of Jack Nicholson.

That movie was such a freak show. Stephen King is someone I would hate to think I understood. In this movie Jack lost his freakin mind, I think the picture is telling us he will forever be a haunting figure at that establishment. Maybe if you are up for it you should read the book, it would be far more informative.

If memory serves, I think the picture is of him younger, like a past life of him? Which is why the 'ghosts' got to him, because it was him reincarnated or something? Or I could completely be making this up - I haven't seen that movie in a long time.

It's kind of circular. As Jack was going nuts he seemed to know the bartender, and the bartender seemed to know him, as if he'd been there before. As the story completes Jack literally becomes part of the history of the Overlook, as if he had been part of the madness that still echoes through the place.

He isn't supposed to be there--they are in different time periods, after all, but it just means that he became a ghost, too, and joined the haunted staff at the hotel.

His character became part of the Hotel and its ghostly denizens.
