The shining
I wasn't really sure what to put this under, but anyway I've seen the movie "The Shining" about 5 times already and I still don't understand it. How does the former cook know to call the kid doc? How is the butler relivent to the dad? Is that his split personality? And why does he go into the bar and it's set in the 1930's? Thank you for helping me clear this up <3

Okay, one question at a time.
1. The cook knows to call Danny 'Doc' because the cook also has the shining - another name for ESP.
2. The butler is the 'ghost' of the last caretaker who killed his family.
3. The bar scene is 'chosen' by the hotel - this is just the time period that the hotel chooses to use for the party scenes, etc. It's left uncertain in the movie why that is, though the book goes into details and you learn it was like a golden period in the hotel's history.
I've seen the movie about 500 times, so you can thank my nerdy need to watch the same film over and over again for answering this question. If you choose to read the book (by Stephen King) it may answer some of your questions, though it's very different from the movie.
