Community Thoughts:  Posted By: The Goremet - January 3rd, 2012 10:41:28 am EST Nothing says Happy Holidays like "The Shining". All that snow make sme feel right at home during the holidays. After a recent viewing (my 50th one, by far) I am astounded at how atmospheric and claustrophobic this film feels. Let me interject by saying that this film really holds few hands with the book, but as a movie - if you don't think about the book or the author - is a decent film. I love the music and the tone of the movie. Jack Nicholson's over the top performance does not make me feel sympathy for his character, since he pretty much walks onto the scene a little not right to begin with, but I did appreciate Shelley Duvall. The scene in the bathroom with Jack and the axe... have you ever seen a person look that horrified before. The camera shots and interesting additions to the story - like the blood coming out of the elevator - are cinematic gems. That said, the miniseries is so much closer to the book in character depth and plot - and also a very good film. I love Kubrick's film and sometimes have to remind myself that film is an art form and like any art you take away from it what you want, not always what the creator or writer wanted. Posted By: Dogsoldier - December 7th, 2011 10:48:05 am EST I was very disappointed seeing this film, especially when you see all the praise it gets. I guess people love Kubrick, but to me this was a bad adaptation of a great novel. It wasn't scary, other than Nicholson the acting wasn't that impressive and some of the things that Kubrick changed... Haven't seen the miniseries yet, but I'd rather stick to the book than watch this one again. Posted By: Anonymous - November 5th, 2011 8:16:54 pm EDT It is the best movie I ever saw. I like the twist of paranormal and phycology in one great film. I congragulate you on the success of this film.
