    Recently rewatched, I feel that this is a classic depicting modern anxiety, the core is in the sentence "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy". Jack is actually a good person. He cares too much about the responsibility of being a man. He wants to write a good work to prove himself. Finally, he drives himself crazy, raises his axe and hacks his family madly, because he doesn't know where the problem is and he doesn't want to. Acknowledging his limited talents, he blamed his family and...

    "All work and no play makes jack a dullboy" is one of the few movies I watched in my freshman year that scared me to death at the beginning. The strange music in the opening seems to have been dreamed in a...

    Kubrick is a true genius. This is a truly perfect horror film. The bloody shots are almost zero, but the excellent use of shots and the ubiquitous psychological hints, as well as the extremely good soundtrack, make people feel the most shocking. Pure fear is not a ghost but a heart...

    It's not good to be inattentive while watching a movie! It is not good to turn down the volume! It's not good to play the song of invincible healing while watching it! It's not good to shrink the screen to a slap! This directly led me to watch the legendary Shining with light and...

    Family Slaughter, and Kubrick's Casting

    There are so many well-founded/nonsense analysis and critiques about this film that it could be printed out as hundreds of thousands of bricks to build a Kubrick pyramid. Because it's vague, full of ambiguous metaphors, a pot of real-life fragments.

    There is no doubt that the collapse...

    some tidbits

    During the making of the movie, Kubrick would call Stephen King at three o'clock in the night and ask him if you believe in God or something like that. Kubrick's sentence on the book he wrote is different in each version, for example in the Italian version of the film it was: he got up early to see...
