That's not the ending shot, pic related is.

Kubrick was a coomer

It's supposed to be a reference to Roadrunner, which we see Danny watching earlier in the film. The ending scene is Jack slowly chasing Danny, Danny cunningly outsmarts Jack, and then Jack dies making a cartoonish face in defeat

What did they mean by this?
Isaiah Hill
he went crazy and half the movie is in his head outside freezing to death

It's all real

"As above, so below."
Being the caretaker, Jack, like Baphomet in that art, served as an intermediary between the physical world and the tangible structure of the Overlook Hotel, and the dintangible spiritual dark world contained within its walls. In his death, he at last becomes one with the hotel, both in body, through his frozen carcass being physically left within the confines of the hedgemaze, and spirit, as depicted by his appearance in that photograph.

Reminder to Yas Forums that no optical media release has EVER used the CORRECT chapter stops, which must proceed EXACTLY as follows:
1. Opening Credits
2. The Interview
3. Closing Day
4. A Month Later
5. Tuesday
6. Thursday
7. Saturday
8. Monday
9. Wednesday
10. 8am
11. 4pm
12. Ending Credits
Also, the time of the film's main events can be pinpointed to occur largely during December, 1980. This is because Ullman indicates the hotel's season as running from mid-may through October 30, and so since the family shows up on closing day (which can be reasoned to be Halloween itself, interestingly), "a month later" becomes late November/early December. Checking a 1980 calendar against the days of the week makes it reasonable to suppose that the ensuing events occur during the first half of December, 1980. I've also recently had a real look at Ager (never really read before) and though it's tedious (skimming is the thing to do here), it was amusing and interesting all the same. I do think he has the right idea with the colonialism stuff, that's fairly clear in the film.
I would like to have a good faith discussion with any Yas Forums users on any of what I've written above, or related ideas.

I get analyzing a film, but how does extreme autism over when exactly things take place on a calendar help you better understand the themes and message of a film?
