    Dragging the rhythm is the most normal and should have a rhythm in horror films. Dragging you, hanging you, tormenting you, tormenting you, in the darkness of the depression, Nicholson's axe slashed, it was absolutely...

    First: Are black people working so hard to die? I thought his appearance would turn the plot around. Second: the heroine is too ugly. Third: Who the hell labeled this kind of movie...

    If "Marriage Life" detaches the daily marriage relationship and puts it into an overhead experimental field, then "The Shining" is completely its opposite. The infinite and terrifying extension of Overlook is an enlarged family space rather than an The social space, when Wendy and Danny first appeared, we found a dysmorphic family relationship more than David Lynch, but Kubrick normalized it to the viewer, not David Lynch Odd's "internal normalization", if this relationship can be called...

    Ten stars for music and sound effects! Otherwise you can't see it. I don't like watching horror movies because I always have to make the heroine run like a fool when she should run and not run when she shouldn't. Although Cuibuli has always criticized and reflected on issues such as gender, race, sexuality, violence, etc., his position is also a little...

    The first time I saw it, the European version was better than the US...

    Some houses are like people, Kubrick-style thrillers, but they are trying to explore the relationship between family ethics, a game about the identity theft of "stalkers" and "hideaways". The extremely balanced and symmetrical set, the dead end metaphor of the labyrinth and the cold cave, the broken mirror illusion, and the morbid appeal under the splendor's surface all together create a superb suspenseful atmosphere. The soundtrack is even more wonderful, sometimes as sharp as a metal...

    #库布里克影展# Three and a half stars. There is no horror that I felt when I was a child! Instead, I saw a movie about loneliness and its inner picture. Some word games: Torrance's surname is close to Minotaurus, the origin of the maze; the mirror image of MURDER and RED RUM...

    What is the best viewing experience? Not IMAX/Dolby/Low price, but the film itself, such as the master’s teaching, scheduling, atmosphere, editing, music, art, grass snake gray line scripts, etc. are all textbooks; it can be used at the red light at the intersection of Hengshan Road I heard someone talking about the Shining; there are many others in the Kehuan shop where they are chatting with their friends while eating burgers. This is the most beautiful viewing experience, today...

    Replay @新衡山, four and a half stars; by today’s standards, it was at best a horror. The sharp editing made me horrified again, especially when the murder appeared; the parallel time and space that passed in the old hotel, in Murakami’s "Lexington’s "Phantom" and the dolphin hotel smell familiar; some of the heroines in the climax occasionally caught a glimpse of KJ, which is exactly like the later "eye-opening ring", a superb moment! Don't worry about logic, mystery is...

    all work, no play ,makes jack dull boy.

    After reading many evaluations, I found that everyone has overlooked an important detail, that is, there is only one sentence in the so-called novel written by the male lead "all work, no play, makes a jack dull boy." This is a proverb, which is called "only" in Chinese. Work and don’t play make...

    Isn't this a masterpiece in some ways?

    WOC is not a masterpiece from a certain point of view!
    Why do people say they can't understand it! Excessive reputation!
    Although the plot is somewhat obscure and lacks explanation, the color and soundtrack actors are all good, and many psychological factors used in the screenwriter have not been...

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!
