I'm watching The Shining. Jack is ranting about how important it is that he honor his employer's contract, right after typing out a hundred pages of how all work and no play makes him a dull boy. Then his wife hits him with a baseball bat. And yes, I've noticed Kubrick's constant use of Native American leitmotifs contrasted against the symbols of Western imperialism.

Why does it seem that Jack Nicholson is always in the role of characters named "Jack?"

For the same reason that Tony Danza's always playing guys named Tony?

I for one don't understand why Jack Nicholson is thought to be a good actor - he always plays the same character, a raving lunatic.
