The Shining
*The Shining
The book that Jack was writing contained the sentence "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" repeated over and over to show his claustrophobic decent into madness. Stanley Kubrick had each page individually typed at the time this had to be done by hand not word processor. For the Italian version of the film, Kubrick used the phrase "Il mattino ha l' oro in bocca" "He who wakes up early meets a golden day".But for the Spanish version, it was "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano" "Although one will rise early, it won't dawn sooner."
The former caretaker of the Overlook Hotel has two different names (Charles Grady and Delbert Grady) because he's supposed to be two different people. Charles is the caretaker who murdered his wife and daughters, and Delbert is the butler of the Overlook Hotel from the 20s. The use of two different names in the movie is simply to show that Grady has been at the Overlook Hotel twice, just like Jack.
