Wes Anderson's The Shining (some pretty impressive editing in this)

Yes, I would like to see this one, but will wait till its down to £3 on DVD (another 6 months from launch of DVD).

That way if its not that good I have not lost much.

Got it for a pound in a Charity shop today and watched it 

Questions....
Who was the girl at the end of the film who hung a key on the statue of keys in the cemetery. I assume the statue was of the concierge.

Also...
Did we know what happened to the son of the deceased old woman, who was firing the gun at the end? Did he inherit the house?

Did we know what happened to the cat killer? (as well as killing a few others as well).

Other than that, it was a well acted film, and quite comical as well.

To explain the girl at the start and end of the film, I'll just copy and paste from the wikipedia article because I'm lazy :D

Quote:
At the start:

In the present, a teenage girl approaches a monument to a writer in a cemetery. In her arms is a memoir penned by a character known only as "The Author". She starts reading a chapter from the book. The Author begins narrating the tale from his desk in 1985 about a trip he made to the Grand Budapest Hotel in 1968.

Then at the end:

In 1985, the Author completes his memoirs beside his grandson. Back in the present, the girl continues reading in front of the statue of the Author, a sign that Zero and Gustave's story and that of the hotel will live on.

The cat killer (Willem Dafoe) presumably died after being pushed off the cliff by Zero.

Dmitri (the son) didn't inherit a thing and simply disappeared, never to be heard from again.
