During my last viewing of the film, a line of dialogue popped out at me for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>So, in my last viewing of the film I happen to notice that a line spoken by the Stuart Ullman character (the character Jack Torrance goes to interview with for the job of the Overlook Hotel caretaker) has a strange change in it. The word &#8216;isolation&#8217; sounds very slightly different &#8212; louder, with more force, having a slightly different quality (music snobs would call it timbre, but I&#8217;m not a music snob, folks).<\/p>\n<p>Stanley Kubrick, to put it mildly, could be called a detail-oriented kind of guy. One could even go so far as to say he is somewhat of a perfectionist. The chance that this use of &#8216;isolation&#8217; somehow slipped in unnoticed by the man to me seems pretty slim. He could have easily re-recorded the line of dialogue so this difference wouldn&#8217;t be there. But he <em>wanted<\/em> it to be there.<\/p>\n<p>What? You say you can&#8217;t hear the difference? Close your eyes and play the clip again. Still nothing? Okay, put on headphones, close your eyes, play the clip again and <strong>concentrate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you say, okay, I hear it. So what?<\/p>\n<p>So what? You ungrateful bastard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, here&#8217;s another one of those things I just somehow happened to notice which you may or may not have noticed.
