Last week I watched again, after years, The Shining; superb Kubrick horror movie. Oh, the music! the photography! It's kind of obvious from the begining that Jack will go cuckoo (Nicholson is never up to any good). Even Wendy clumsy and quirky acting is good (and yes! she is Olive Oyl in Popeye!).
Apparently Stephen King wasn't very happy about this adaptation, claiming it is not very loyal to the book... well Stephen, let the genius work... the movie stands as a thing of its own.
Also what I love about the movie are the carpets and wallpaper, who can forget the carpet on the hallway, where Danny cycles around (here in the pattern). Classic 70' design!
Heeeeeere's Johnny!
PS: in case is hard to read "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" as repeatedly written by Jack and read by Wendy
CREO que vi esta peli, pero hace como 40 años atrás cuendo todavía vos no existías en nuestra vida con tu genio y sensibilidad...será cuestión de volver a verla y descubrir lo que vos "percibiste" con tanto detalle...Bravo, hiji!!!!!!! Y lo que escribe Jack, es PURA verdad!
