    Five stars! The script and actor skills are both quite a solid horror movie! Most people can only see pictures in their dreams and rarely see words. The dream manifests the subconscious mind. Kubrick is a master at using images. The images in "The Shining" use a lot of metaphors. When fans watch it, they feel like they have entered a lucid hypnosis. The rich elements of fear in the images unconsciously Implanted deep in the consciousness of movie...

    It turns out that this film is not to make you scared when you watch it, but to be scared after watching it. . . . . . When I watched it, I didn't feel any horror, only the sense of separation brought by the small-scale story and the chaotic timeline. It suddenly became clear when the last scene of the photo appeared, but I still didn't think this film was special. After half an hour, doing something else, I remembered the picture again in my mind, and finally felt the...

    This is the "True Horror Movie", the all-round emotional mobilization, the horror that goes deep into the bones, and I don't know where it is higher than the piles of horror! Nightmare blood wave/twins/bathroom female corpse/axe cut wooden door, thanks to Kubrick’s peak audiovisual language and almost perfect thriller atmosphere (the soundtrack accounts for most of the credit), the actors are especially good, Nicholson needless to say, the heroine Comes with advanced horror temperament, the...

    "In the film, the role of Jack Torrance has no arcs, nothing at all. When we first saw Jack Nicholson, he appeared in the hotel manager’s office, and then he was crazy like a toilet rat. The behavior is to become more crazy. In the book, he was supposed to be a guy who continued to fight with reason, but finally lost. To me, this is tantamount to a tragedy. But there is no tragedy in the movie, because from It hasn't really changed."...In addition, Stephen King also questioned the casting of...

    The most horrible thing about this movie is the sound effects. Once I watched it with headphones in the middle of the night, it seemed that there was a scene in the corridor in the middle that scared my soul. After the headphones were taken off, I took them directly. One meter...

    DC version. It is not important to discuss how horrible it is. Today's lowest level of ghost head skills can also frighten a group of people, but Kubrick obviously disdains this. Standing in the passageway, after watching the opening captions and the state of the audience, it was a wonderful feeling that six hundred people were taken into the movie space. A family of three, all the actors are brilliant, the old gangster Nicholson is especially crazy. The children stepping on the car, the...

    How madmen are made

    An upscale hotel nestled deep in the mountains with picturesque scenery and fresh air. The facilities of the hotel are very high-end and complete. The only disadvantage is that every winter, the mountain roads here will be covered with heavy snow, and the traffic will be paralyzed. The white snow...

    How to watch The Shining gracefully

    If you only watch a horror movie once in a while and cry and howl almost all the time, there is a psychological explanation that cannot withstand scientific scrutiny. This kind of person is usually insecure, extremely sensitive to the environment, and has too much empathy. Ever since I was a child,...

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!
