The Phantom Carriage

This proposed comparison links the door-breaking imagery, alcoholism, and judgment with Jack’s story. It also raises possible visual parallels in the floral wallpaper and an association between the earlier film’s date and the Overlook’s final photograph.

These are comparison leads, not a verified shot-by-shot homage or evidence of Kubrick’s intention. The thematic connection belongs alongside Jack’s alcoholism and the film’s imagery of judgment; the precise wallpaper and date associations remain provisional.
