The Norval Morrisseau print titled "The Great Mother" appeared in Stanley Kubrick's film "The Shining" (1980). The film's source material is from science-fiction/horror author Stephen King's 1977 best-selling novel. Another print by Norval Morrisseau titled "Flock of Loons" also appeared in the same film.
-
As in many of his films, director Kubrick explores the dimensions of the genre to create the ultimate horror film of a man going mad, aspiring writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson), while serving as an off-season caretaker of an isolated, snowbound resort ("the Overlook") with his family: wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd).
-
* If you purchase "The Shining" DVD, go to the Scene No.2 ("The interview") when Jack Torrance (Nicholson) is about to enter the office of the resort's manager for an interview. You will see the print "The Great Mother", framed on the wall, at the left side of the door OR view the above presented "You Tube" video by going @ 2:45 to view "The interview" scene.
-
To view the other print by Norval Morrisseau titled "Flock of Loons" , go to the Scene No. 35 ("Halloran killed"), available also on "The Shining" DVD, when Jack Torrance (Nicholson) is about to exit out of "the Overlook" holding axe in his hands. You will see the print, framed on the wall.
