Kubrick's film - will always be the definitive version of THE SHiNiNG.
And King's book will always BE THE DEFINITIVE!
As I recall, That scary N WORD was in THE BOOK!

The film takes place in 1980, not 1950
. I was a kid during those years, and we never said that word in the Western part of the U.SMaybe down South they say that word, but not out West. My dad didn't use it either, and he was from California. My best friend didn't use it, and he was originally from Missouri.
In that scene, he was back in the 1920's -

It was said by an evil ghost in the '1920s'.

Watch Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction. The whites really go ham with the n word in those films. But trust me, I'm white and come from the South. Almost all white people I know still talk like that to this very day. That's just the way of the world!

Yes it was necessary.. And wowww these modern times we are living in are so politically correct.. It's really annoying to be honest.. Noone can speak their mind anymore or say what they really think without people f'ing rioting.

All of the language in this film is necessary. There's nothing more chilling than realizing your husband's novel reinforces the vague threat you've had, that he's intending to kill you, and your son.
OMG.

I hate safe, plus horror rids safe by law of genre. It did give life to the bathroom scene. It was also shock in a different form rather than something visual. It didn't have to be said, but he didn't have to kill those two girls either. The rudeness is matched, mirroring what offenses about life. Free will has no bounds. It was said, you could stop him.

What? He said it once.
Have you seen Trading Places or Blazing Saddles?
Yeah, maybe the dead twins should have been Sesame Street characters, Ernie and Bert maybe, and each time they appear on screen they do the happy dance. Oh and instead of a brutal Axe murder, Jack simply jumps out, shouts booga booga and tickles him, then they all eat cake and kick back with a coffee.
Why are you playing the race card? Get the beep over it, it's 2016.

Was that really necessary for that scene?
Yes absolutely!
I recently watched the film again after many years, and the scene your talking of really stood out for me. It's Jack pivotal scene in the film, and the power play between the two characters is extraordinary.
When the two enter the toilet Bradie is the submissive waiter and Jack is the patron, but within a couple of lines the roles are reversed. Jack go's from being slightly annoyed about the spill on his jacket, to absolutely terrified when he realises who he is talking with.
and who is he talking with? At first it's Bradie or a projection of him, when the conversation switches, it's the Overlook Hotel; is it pure malevolent evil!
Bradie uses the 'N' word to show complete contempt of any sense of morality that Jack has in defence of the hotel's power to curupt him.
