I’m in chapter 34 and I find myself wondering if he has either bipolar or ptsd. What do you think? I mean he’s delusional, angry, passionate, short tempered, a writer.

I think he was a borderline psychopath. He focused on his madness which probably brought him to hallucinate. But it's been so long since I've watched it, and I wasn't very interested in the story at the time. I would be able to boil it up easily if I had just watched it again, but have no plans yet to re-watch it again.
I'm not allowed to watch movies that portray mental illness, as it affects me in ways I'm yet not able to say. |

But if he was a psychopath, why did he "break" and become so when he had been normal in his life before.
I haven't read the book or seen the movie in many years, but I seem to remember he was a bit of a depressive type before they got there. My theory is that the house really was haunted, AND he was bipolar. This discussion is fun!! |

I think he was supposed to be sensitive to the spiritual presence in the hotel, just like his son. The hotel itself drove him mad, just like the caretaker before him.

He had something wrong. He was psychotic. Kubrick shot 3 million feet of tape and drove the cast crazy. Nicholson told Kubrick to take it easy on Crothers. Crothers almost had a breakdown after 60 takes. Nicholson was spent after every day of shooting.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
