the shining/ jack theory

Everyone should have heard of the shining and or watched it. That's why I'm not telling you about the plot or the story. I'm telling you, the reader, about how I interpret this film. I think cabin fever has very little to do with this story. At the start of the film it is said that Jack is a writer and is failing at making anything good. Even though later in the movie it is shown that he has an amazing imagination. My theory is that Jack does in fact have the shining, as we learn it is passed down through generations by the head chef  (Dick Halloran) speaking to Danny in the kitchen telling him that he 'shined' with his grandmother. this explains the photo at the end of the Shining when he was born around the mid to late 50s. That is his father who had been to the hotel and had the highest power of mind. That is why Jack told his wife ' its almost like I knew what was round every corner' his father left a 'trace' that Jacks shine picked up and recreated members of the party so that's why everyone was dressed with white gloves and using smoking sticks. Shining  that  to those who are new is like speaking without words and seeing things that will be and things that where/ these things are also possible to interact with real world objects example: the old imaginary woman strangling Danny. unlocking the store room cupboard. Jack is also stronger than Dick because dick would have sensed jack there but Jack cloaked his shining under his normal self. Jack seems to have the shining to move objects and imagine whole parties. But Jack does not have control  over the shining and he doesn't know it. my ultimate theory is that jack has the shining but has no real control over it making it a thing that he sub-consciously  hates. Danny has control over the shining and has it so far as it has become its own personality named Tony. Jack hates Danny or Tony sub-consciously, meaning that his super powerful  sub-conscious / shining is even more stronger than jacks and Jack went and did what he was told by his interactive spontaneous shine. All work and no play. Makes Jack. A dull boy.

No matter what. Even if you are considered to be nothing, worse even - the scum of the earth, if you really do love something and want it, you do that. without reason and the only two things pushing you is your self, and passion. That is what the film is about. not a boy and a bird, but a story about true passion that not even the direst of cruelty and the worst kind of poverty  can destroy. This boy has never had anything as beautiful as this bird. He has never cared and loved something so amazing yet he finds that he loves it and will care for it till the day he dies. And nobody can see it apart from one of his Teachers who sees this boy and can also see how wasted he will be when he grows up. 
The writer doesn't just empathise with the boy but also his older brother who in fact is the boy will soon become when he's older. How? His older brother works in a mine and all he can do is drink on the weekends. That is what our hero will become an overworked, beaten ruffian and a money drinker. The human embodiment of hatred and laziness who stamps on other peoples dreams because he never got a chance like that. This is what the boy does not know but what he secretly fears. Our protagonist realizes that he has found the one beautiful thing that he will never get again. A true experience and the meaning of true passion.

When watching Kes I had to watch the entire film with subtitles because I couldn't cut through the thick ruffian accents.
