Movies The Shining

[raty tat tat]

I never seen the whole movie but over I have seen bits and parts and creepy as f**k and earns place as not only one of the greatest movies but as of the greatest movies.

Love the opening theme:

Uh... Yes.

How did you watch it? To do it justice you've got to watch it via the 4K UHD Blu-ray with the sound turned way up. It's mind-blowing.

Classic horror, but I don’t find myself wanting to rewatch it over and over..

 

[SKYNET]

Cant go wrong with Kubrick. He plants seeds deep. There's a lot going on aside from a haunted mansion

 

[zapataxiv]

great movie
hopefully the new Salem's lot hits hard too

 

[BFoe]

My favorite movie of all time. An absolute masterpiece.

It’s honestly fkn hilarious. Yes, the old lady is creepy, and the little girls are creepy, but with how long we’ve known jack for now, his parts are absolutely hilarious. If you just start at the moment she starts reading the manuscript, I dare you not to laugh at jacks acting and facial expressions.. For god sake he’s almost laughing at like 3 separate parts, and duval is just such a fail personality it all equals up to some pretty funny moments.

 

[Tentacle Grape]

Saw it in the movie theater like 2 years ago. A place was playing it for halloween.

 

[RJ43]

[HARRISON_3]

[Mr Mojo Lane]

His character is someone who finds joy in what he is doing and he finds it funny. Many abusive people find it entertaining when they abuse others. This is what I always thought, so I never found his acting over the top or comedic.

I mean it is larger than life acting but I think it suits the story very well, having that element of joyful dark comedy to things makes the film scarier. Shelley Duvall I think works very well to, sells the idea that Jack was an abusive bastard long before the film starts whio's been undermining her for years.

I suspect thats the big reason King disliked Kubricks film, the latter didnt like the idea that supernatural ghosts were to blame for everything, in his film they just give Jack a little push and theres a question as to how much is just going on in his head.

Love the opening theme:

I'm always mesmerised by that opening scene, kinda wish it was a fluid single tracking shot, but it's awesome none the less. Watched the movie last week and watched the opening 3 or 4 times

The section were it gets close to the car must have been so hair raising helicopter flying.
