    What Kubrick analyzes in [The Shining] is actually a ubiquitous "fear". It exists in the family, between husband and wife, and even more in history. The greatest horror is when they appear before one's eyes. "The Shining" really isn't a good perk... It's technically...

    [Exhibition of Kubrick Exhibition at China Film Archive] I didn't find it scary to watch the small screen before. This time on the big screen, the smooth Steadicam photography and horror sound effects produced a strong sense of psychedelicity, amplifying the depressing and eerie horror atmosphere like hypnosis. There is no sudden ghost head, but it creates a strong sense of terror. It is rare to see this film in a large-screen...

    The male lead is very good, the female lead looks too...

    In general, the creation of a terrifying atmosphere is not bad, but personally, the most frightening thing is the neurotic scream of the heroine. (PS: Long storytelling skills of not too cold masters!) - Missed the opportunity to relive it in theaters in early 2016, and waited until I watched "Ready Player One" in 2018 before I came up with the idea of ​​watching it again, and now I'm finally planning to show it Before "Ready Player One", I showed this "The Shining" to a few children who wanted...

    The story of a Ph.D. who stayed at home but couldn't write a dissertation and the family members of his victims during the dissertation tells us that the harm of doing academia is social and the correct way to do it is to have fun every day and stop writing! The effect, music and sound effects of the film are indispensable, especially the endless lontano in the opening of Ligeti, coupled with the most incredible flying shot of the whole leather (how to shoot this kind of paragraph in the era of...

    Even if it is a failed work, as long as people become famous, they will be said to be reasonable. Except for a few amazing shots, it is really far from Hitchcock's...

    I wish I had a typewriter!

    Just looking at the heroine is scary! The child is so cute and the scenery is very good. Thinking about it, it is already a movie in the 1980s, so the little cutie has grown into an uncle, oh buy Karma! The twins have also grown into aunts. Is there anything more bizarre than twins?
    The soundtrack...

    fear

    I started writing late at night. The office building I was in was silent. This time is the last time I watched "Midnight Bell". It was past one o'clock in the morning and that time, I turned off all the lights in the office, and I admit, when the movie started, when the phone rang, and when the...

The Shining quotes

  • Dick Hallorann: Do you know how I knew your name was 'Doc'? You know what I'm talking about, don't you? I can remember when I was a little boy your age... my grandmother and I could hold entire conversations without ever opening our mouths. She called it "shining". And for a long time I thought it was only the two of us who had the shine... just like you who thought you was the only one. But there are other folks who don't know it or don't believe it. How long have you been able to do it?

    [Danny does not reply]

    Dick Hallorann: Why don't you want to talk about it?

    Danny Torrance: I'm not supposed to.

    Dick Hallorann: Who says you ain't supposed to?

    Danny Torrance: Tony.

    Dick Hallorann: Who's Tony?

    Danny Torrance: Tony's a little boy who lives in my mouth.

    Dick Hallorann: Does Tony tell you things?

    Danny Torrance: Yes.

    Dick Hallorann: How does he tell you things?

    Danny Torrance: It's like when I go to sleep, he shows me things. But when I wake up, I can't remember everything.

    Dick Hallorann: Does your mom and dad know about Tony?

    Danny Torrance: Yes.

    Dick Hallorann: Do they know that Tony tells you things?

    Danny Torrance: Tony told me never to tell them.

    Dick Hallorann: Has Tony ever told you anything about this place? About the Overlook Hotel?

    Danny Torrance: I don't know. I don't remember.

    Dick Hallorann: Now think hard, Doc. Think real hard and try to remember.

  • Danny Torrance: [reading Halloran's thoughts] Mr. Hallorann, are you scared of this place?

    Dick Hallorann: No. There ain't nothing here. It's just that... you know some places are like people. Some shine and some don't. It's just that the Overlook Hotel has something like "shining".

    Danny Torrance: Is there something bad here?

    Dick Hallorann: [after a long pause] Well... you know Doc, when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind. Say like... it's when someone burns toast. When some things happen, it can leave other traces behind. Not things anyone can notice, but things that only people with shine can see. Just like they can see things that haven't happened yet, sometimes they can see things that happened a long time ago. I think a lot of things happened in this particular hotel over the years... and not all of them was good.

    Danny Torrance: What about Room 237.

    Dick Hallorann: Room 237?

    Danny Torrance: You're scared of Room 237, ain't you?

    Dick Hallorann: [after a short pause] Uh... no I ain't.

    Danny Torrance: Mr. Hallorann, what is in Room 237?

    Dick Hallorann: [firm tone] Nothing! There ain't nothing in Room 237. But you ain't got no business going in there anyway. So, stay out of Room 237. You understand? Stay out!
