GET THE POSTER | Director: Stanley Kubrick
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall
Stanley Kubrick shows us the fragile side of the mind, where a normal everyday man isolated from the world & a few bourbon whiskeys, can snap & become a monster. Is it circumstance or something he inherits from his past.
Wanting some peace & quite for inspiration, novelist Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes on the position of caretaker at an off season hotel with wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) & son Danny (Danny Lloyd). Things get a little too quite & Jack begins experiencing some serious Déjà vu... Or is it?
Adapted from the novel by Stephen King, who actually hated Kubricks treatment of the script & went on to make his own version years later. There are some real spine tingling moments in this, like the typewriter scene & of course the famous bathroom axe scene... Here's Johnny.
Kubrick leaves a lot open for interpretation throughout the film & we are forever trying to know if things are real, imaginary or supernatural, but essentially I got the most out of it by the shining (bad pun :-) performances from Nicholson and Duvall... DIDOMAN - 9/9 (Netflix)
