I love this movie. I have been looking for it forever and finally broke down and went onto ebay and got myself a copy.
I am a bit confused so I am wondering if anyone else is a fan of this movie and if they can answer me a question.
During the movie when Jack is taking to the ghost of Delbert Grady (A previous caretaker who went cabin fever crazy and killed his wife, 2 daughters and then himself). Jack tells Grady that he remembers reading the newspaper about him and what he did to his family, and reminds him that he(Grady) used to be the caretaker there. Grady then says to Jack "I'm sorry to differ with you sir, but you are the care taker. You've always been the care taker. I should know sir I've always been here."
The wife and child survive...and then at the end it shows him dead in the snow bank inside the maze, then it shows him in the Overlook Hotel Ball picture dated 1921.
So that's the part that confuses me. Did he just magically go into the picture because when he went nuts and died he also became a ghost of the hotel, or does it mean that he was always the care taker and it was him that went crazy and not the Grady fella...???
