The actual shooting of the blood elevator scene was, of course, an effects shot. Achieved decades before CGI blood would even be an option, the sequence was shot on a soundstage in miniature. Mazes play a large role in the film, and particularly at its climax. Ultimately, the maze symbolizes the obstacles to connection that accompany family life. The Shining. At the hedge maze, Danny manages to escape by laying a false trail to mislead Jack.
Wendy and Danny reunite and leave the hotel in a snowcat, and Jack freezes to death. What happens to Wendy and Danny after that is unknown in the film, at least , although a deleted scene featured them in a hospital, recovering both physically and mentally from everything they went through. One of the most memorable scenes from The Shining is the blood coming out from the elevator. This is one of the scenes that are unique to the film along with the Grady twins and one that has received a number of interpretations.
As mentioned above, Kubrick left many details open to interpretation, whether for viewers to come up with their own explanations or just to mess with them. Because the Overlook Hotel in the film, at least was built on an Indian burial ground, the blood coming out from the elevator has been interpreted as that of the Indians buried there.
The ghost is Delbert Grady, and the past caretaker was Charles Grady. The latter is the one that Jack says he saw in the newspaper and the one who killed his family in the hotel , and thus the reincarnation of Delbert Grady. Of course, there are some more convincing and coherent than others, but The Shining is, at its core, a story about violence and abuse and how these are often cyclical.
Jack had a history of anger issues and violence, mainly against his family. Jack is a recovering alcoholic and relapses at the hotel.
He might have had his anger under control for a while before taking the job, but he went back to it there. The hotel itself also has a history of cyclical violence: it was built over an Indian burial ground, and by its existence is a testament to the violence of colonization.
Charles Grady killed his family with an axe, and Jack was on track to replicate that. A popular theory, and one that has gone very deep into the symbolism of The Shining , says that the film also addresses sexual abuse. The scene with the man in the dog costume and the man in a tuxedo is the one used to support this theory, which says the dog represents Danny who earlier in the film is shown to have a plush toy and the man in the tuxedo represents Jack.
Even when looked at more literally, The Shining 's meaning is still up for debate, as some fans disagree on whether the ghosts in The Shining are even real. Bob Myers believes the Warriors will benefit from situations like the one between Draymond and Jordan Poole on the bench Wednesday.
