One of my favorite stories by Stephen King. Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh just chew up the scenery in this film. David Straitharn did a fantastic job as the abusive father. To this day when I see him in other movies I immediately think of this performance. Stephen King once again proves he’s one of the greatest storytellers of all time.

This is my favorite King novel. There are a few supernatural elements in the novel that weren't included in the movie. Dolores has a vision during the eclipse that connects to Gerald's Game (another King novel) and Dolores and Vera seem to have a slight psychic connection at times. I highly recommend checking out the audio book read by Frances Sternhagen (the actress that plays the sarcastic Sheriff's wife/deputy in Misery) - it's just fantastic. There is also much more horror in the novel with Vera having terrible hallucinations and Joe not dying from his initial fall. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse I always dreamed of having a mother like Dolores Claiborne who would do anything to protect her children. Love your channel!

Both the book and the movie are understated masterpieces. Real literature that depends on the replaying of aphorisms in the light of memory and experience. Every event and statement is revised and replayed until the accident becomes the inevitable. Story not as a set of plot-points but the interpretation of a life. The detail of Dolores’ raw hands hanging washing out in the winter cold still stays with me after two decades. This is an Edith Wharton-level ordeal.

Ellen Muth, the actress playing young Selena is from my town in Connecticut. When the movie came out, she was signing autographs at a video store just up the road. I expected a bit of a crowd, but there were only a couple people there. I was nervous and couldn't really think of anything to ask her, but she was very sweet. I think I also passed her at the mall a couple years later, but by the time it registered on me, she had already disappeared. Her father owned (or managed) the optometrist store where I used to go for my glasses. On one occasion, her brother waited on me. Which I only know because they had her picture up and when I asked if she was a customer, he told me that she was his sister, and that their father owned/managed the store. She went on to star in the Showtime series Dead Like Me for two seasons, and one made for video movie.

The only thing I disliked was the ending, with Dolores apparently staying on that island where everybody thinks she killed her husband and now thinks she killed Vera Donovan (the police might've dropped the charges, but public opinion is a lot harder to change). She has nobody left and is hated and badmouthed by everyone there, including the children. Though I guess it's par for the course for a Stephen King story, with no real "happy" ending.

You, Me, & The Movies Thank you guys for reacting to this underrated gem. Seriously one of my all-time favourite movies. This and "The Mask of Zorro" I feel sooo bad for that they're not talked about enough. Both of them have great acting. Zorro had breath-taking sets n action as well as smashing emotional drama. Now this movie isnt known for big action n stunts like "TMofZ". lol of course not. It's waaay more of a character study indeed with past n present dramatic stories which Zorro had too. Anyway, with this movie alone...it is probably my favourite Stephen King movie so far. I love Carrie from 1976 n Kubrick's The Shining as well as 1989's Pet Semetary, Stand by Me, Shawshank, The Green Mile, Doctor Sleep, and even the 1990 miniseries of IT. But God help me, "Dolores" screams out number 1 for me. Misery was also impressive as well. Kathy Bates is great in that one but my goodness is she really phenomenal in this one. Not too mention, Leigh is one of my all-time favourite actresses. The score to this movie is perfect and the editing n cinematography is unbelievable. I seriously dig its unique style of either being in the past or the present. Please react to "Gerald's Game" on Netflix if you 2 havent already. Keep up the great work u too.

I've been one of Stephen King's Constant Readers since I was a kid. I get really annoyed when people write him off as a "horror writer." Another term critics and literary snobs throw around as a backhanded compliment is that "he's such a great storyteller." They can't bring themselves to just say he's a great writer. Well, he is. On top of the legendary horror novels he's written such as Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, The Stand, The Dead Zone, etc., he also has given us The Body (Stand by Me), Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Eyes of the Dragon, The Dark Tower Series, The Running Man, Lisey's Story, Dolores Claiborne, Bag of Bones, and one of the greatest and most important books about his craft that also serves as a sort of autobiography, On Writing. He is a prolific author who can write in any genre. He's the Charles Dickens of our time.

what the running man with Arnold, that film was written from Stephen King?

@brandoncollins1225 2 жыл бұрын

@@Pazuzu82 Yes. He wrote the novel under his Pseudonym Richard Bachman.

One reason his horror works so well is that it’s almost always tied to real-life horror: the adolescent cruelty in Carrie; family violence in The Shining and Dolores Claiborne; etc, etc.

Another Cathy Bates movie worth checking out is Fried Green Tomatoes. Some of the same beats that are in this movie. For another Stephen King movie I would suggest the Dead Zone. Christopher Walken puts forth a wonderful performance in it for sure.

Kathy Bates in American horror story coven was amazing and I’m so happy. She finally won an award after all these years.

You two should definitely have a look at 'Cujo' (1983). A fantastic non supernatural Stephen King film.

Check out "Stand By Me", an adaptation of a non-supernatural Stephan King short story "The Body" which is in a book of his short stories that includes "Shawshank Redemption.
