When The Shining opened in 1980, it had a different ending. Days later Kubrick sent people into the theaters to physically cut it out of the prints. Here's the scene almost nobody saw๐งต๐๐ป 1/ You know the ending we have. Wendy and Danny get away. Jack freezes in the maze. Then the camera drifts down a hallway and lands on a photograph. July 4th Ball, 1921. Jack, front and center, decades before he was born.
No explanation. Just the photo.
