this is (i believe) the final shot from stanley kubrick's 'the shining.' this photograph on the overlook wall, dated july 4th, seems to indicate that saucy jack torrance has indeed, '...always been the caretaker.' its actually not a bad shot of mr. nicholson. and i don't believe i'm wrong when i say i suspect he was superimposed into an actual photograph of partygoers from the 1920's. the other merrymakers in the shot seem to be legitimately antique. perhaps we're to infer that a swinging, jazz-age flapper's ball is close to jack's idea of heaven. not a bad place to spend eternity, if one were to have his choice. (click to enlarge... because size matters.)
