The book is extremely different from the film, but they're both masterpieces. I personally think the ideal experience is seeing this film, reading the novel, reading Doctor Sleep, and then watching Doctor Sleep. The Doctor Sleep film is certainly worth watching and it does a great job of combining the very different universes of Kubrick and King

@alexsclewis 2 жыл бұрын

agree to disagree. the book sucks. doctor sleep sucks. so does that film. it all sucks. but the shining is my favourite movie.

@Lannisen 2 жыл бұрын

I did it in almost that order, watched The Shining, then read the book (and watched the mini series which follows the book rather well). Then watched Doctor Sleep, read THAT book, and rewatched Doctor Sleep again. I really like what Flanagan managed to do with that film.

Good advice actually. _Doctor Sleep_ the movie bombed, but it's actually not that bad IMO. In fact I kind of liked it. I have not read the book. Oddly, Stephen King loved _Doctor Sleep_ and it bombed, but he famously hated _The Shining_ yet it has remained one of the top horror movies of all time for over 40 years. Many of the changes Kubrick made for _The Shining_ I think were necessary, such as making the hedges a maze instead of animals that come to life. It made sense that Danny would be an expert in that maze because he and his mother played in it almost every day while jack was working on his writing... (ahem!). I thought it was a good idea in _Doctor Sleep_ to have the Overlook Hotel get blown up by the boiler since that was the original fate of the hotel in the book "The Shining". Nice way to acknowledge it. That ending with the photograph was a last minute addition Kubrick came up with. I'm not sure if it has ever been explained.

The thing about this movie is that there’s not always a clear answer to everything and some things are left to interpretation. Some events like room 237 can’t always be concluded with it being ghosts. Sometimes it can be seen as Jack hallucinating, the movie hints at a lot of darker topics that could answer some of the phenomenons (the bear costume scene), and Stanley Kubrick is known to be very cryptic and leave hidden messages and themes in his movies. Stephen King actually hates this movie because it’s nothing like the book. Kubrick changed just about everything except the characters names.

@alfielee2989 2 жыл бұрын

The book is amazing for sure though! Some of the changes, like adding the twins and the maze (instead of some weird sentient topiary animals), were great, but Dick Hallorann getting killed off as soon as he turns up, and skipping the whole aspect of the 'creeping' boiler are kinda irritating. Still a 9.5/10 movie imo

@@alfielee2989 it's strongly implied through the movie that Jack has been a very unpleasant guy for longer than the duration of the story, the longer cut of the film it's shown he had dislocated Danny's shoulder 5 months before the movie start, and Jack admits to having done that 3 years ago and that he'd been sober less time than his wife thought. We're not seeing a slightly irritable guy going completely insane, we're seeing an already violent and abusive guy reaching the final stage of his abuse. maybe the hotel pushed him over the edge, or maybe all the visions are in their heads, but the way he plays his interactions with his wife and kid from the start show a guy who does not like his family at all. His reactions to wendy and her overall demeanour is a very accurate portrayal of a narcissist and his abused and essentially broken wife. seperately, funnily enough, all the people in the photograph at the end were the billionaires and politicians who were involved in the dollar gold standard being got rid of, and the subsequent economic crash (no joke). having Jack appear among them specifically i think was a Kubrick joke saying this dude here who just tried to axe his family is the same as these people, with the same distorted values...while also hinting at reincarnation...or whatever the hell it means within the story 😅

Glad to see another rare reactor sympathizing with the Wendy character. Shelley Duvall was so perfectly cast as the type of woman that people shit on that it transfers to real life. She is sweet, caring, vulnerable, helpless, and tries to take up for Jack and give him the benefit of the doubt, even with his past and the verbal abuse he hurls at her. Despite all this, people still often dislike her immensely. Kubrick was a genius.

@stevesheroan4131 Жыл бұрын

@@jonathonsmith8871 I read the book, and I agree that it’s a much different character, and story for that matter. Either Kubrick is a bad director, or perhaps out of sheer arrogance just decided he didn’t care for the book version of Wendy in favor of his own. I assume the latter. Personally, I think of them as two separate works, and maybe Kubrick’s version is just a plagiarism of King being used to drive some ambiguous narrative that the director was toying with at the time. Either way, I find both the film and the book entertaining, so it really doesn’t matter to me in the end. I completely understand why King hates the movie, I just disagree with him. Several of King’s movie adaptations stray miles away from the source material, but this one gets all the hate for some reason. Kubrick seemed like a person that could rub folks the wrong way, and King maybe just disliked him immensely, or maybe The Shining was one of King’s favorite works, and the straying just offended him more with that particular story. I like both, and favor the movie. Subjectivity is what makes art great, one man’s trash…. and all that.

Interesting fact: the director told everyone on set to kinda be rude to the actress who played wendy during the shoot. People would have to ignore her and just give her no attention and not be kind.

The actual maze used was relatively small build in an indoor set in England. It’s actually so small it would be impossible to get lost for long. You can find plans for it on the net. Articles saying Kubrick got lost in it are probably false. Hedges were moved to make different shots (there are actually 5 constructions of the maze rebuilt using parts moved from previous constructions ) and most of it was shot in the Summer. The Snow is actually a kind of styrofoam. Kubrick also used a special lens and shot it low using a upward angle to make the walls look much higher then they were. In reality they were only 5 to 6 feet high.

Good catch on the music! The film's editing is specifically structured around a lot of the music as a way to throw you off and make the pacing feel more unpredictable.

This movie also tends to focus on character's reaction TO the scary thing first

The book is a lot better with the internal conflict because it gives a lot of internal dialogue of everyone's thoughts and with Jack, you get to hear him struggle against the influence of the hotel in his head, trying to fight it and recognize what's really happening, then we slowly start to see how the hotel is manipulating his thoughts until it completely takes him.

Most of the people in Stephen Kings stories have the Shining to an extent. They're all in a shared universe as well. The kids from IT for example have the Shining and the town of Derry is their Overlook Hotel. Another example is John Coffee from The Green Mile has the Shining. An example of shared universes is Shawshank prison from The Shawshank Redemption is mentioned in IT. There's a bunch ion connections in the books and easter eggs in the films. If you haven't read any of his books it's hard to make connections between films if you don't know its source is from King. But reading the novels, its always fun to recognize a character or a place from another book.

Stephen King wrote the book, and the film acts as a sequel to both his original novel and Stanley Kubrick's movie, which was Kubrick's interpretation/vision (King famously hated it). Both are incredible.

Jack was not reincarnated, he was consumed by the hotel. I feel that if Wendy didn't survive, she would be in the photo, too.

The guy with the man in the bear costume is the guy who built the hotel.

Another fact that scene in the main hotel and her walking backwards with the bat was was taken at least 100 times so her appearing exhausted and upset was her actually feeling that way.

This is the one horror movie that always creeps me out so much. It's all because of Jack Nicholson and the music

One of the things you don't really think about, this being the pre-PC era, those pages and pages of text had to be typed out by a prop person, poor them man

Jack is not the reincarnation of anyone. When the Overlook consumes people , their ghosts can appear in the Overlook at any time. Even the past.

Now you must watch the sequel to this, Doctor Sleep. Please watch the Director's Cut! Doctor Sleep is one of my favorite horror movies of all time and does a great job of expanding on the lore of the 'shining' within the Stephen King universe.

Hahaha when Wendy was on the radio and kept saying “over” I couldn’t help but think of Family Guy when Brian and Stewie were going to renovate that house!

Danny didn't trick Jack in the maze... Tony did.

1. Joe Turkel/Lloyd plays Tyrell in the original Bladerunner (Hint Hint) 2. "Here's Johnny" was adlib by Nickelson. 3. It took 117 takes for Jack to chop through the door. He used his voluuntery firefighting skills to get through all the takes. 4. The reason King didn't like this adaptation of the movie is because he didn't like the changes Kubrick made. This thing was remade just for King and although the remake was more inline with the book IMVHO it wasn't as good as this one. 5. Danny didn't know the girls were dead (because of his shine he might have known though) 6. Shelly Duvall said making this movie was the worst experience in her life. She was harassed on and off screen. 7. GOOF: They would have taken that meat out of the freezer during winter over. Even frozen it would go past expiration date. 8. The real villain is the hotel itself. 9. A Nickelson movie that snagged all 5 of the top Oscars (including best actor) is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". 10. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends well be cleared up.

*The Shining* is definitely one of the *best* horror movies ever made! Although it is *very* different from Stephen King's novel. Here are some notable differences: - In the novel, it is way more apparent that the Overlook Hotel is *possessing* Jack, manipulating him into hating his family and become an alcoholic again. - Jack is more of a *victim* in the novel. There is a scene in the novel where Jack is about to kill Danny, but stops, whispering "Run" to Danny, trying to fight against the powers of the hotel, before the Overlook Hotel takes over again. - Dick Halloran *survives* in the novel, because Jack only knocked him unconscious in that one, because Jack's weapon in the weapon is a Roque-Bat, instead of an axe. - Wendy is a way more *dominant* character in the novel, instead of being more submissive. - The line "Here's Johnny!" *isn't* in the novel, but was instead *improvised* by Jack Nicholson. - Danny's imaginary friend, Tony, is revealed to be an *older* version of Danny, and Danny physically sees Tony at some points.
