The Shining Scene 2 Summary

  • This scene opens with a big title card that reads, "The Interview."
  • It looks like Kubrick is going with an old-fashioned style of storytelling on this one. It almost feels like we're watching an old silent film at this point.
  • Our main character Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson), walks up to the hotel front desk and asks for Mr. Ullman.
  • A woman points him in the right direction and Jack goes to meet the head manager of the hotel.
  • They make their opening pleasantries and the scene fades out.
