THE SHINING
What a good movie, but a strange one. I mean there is a man in a bear costume, a boy who has a personality that talks out of his finger, and Hong Kong Phooey. I digress, Jack Torrence(Jack Nicholson) arrives at a hotel to accept a job. We learn that a previous caretaker during the winter season killed his family. He gets the job and we meet Dick Hallorann(Scatman Crothers) who tells Jacks son Danny he has the shining, or I think it is more like telekinesis. Well Jack eventually goes bat shit crazy. He either sees a ghost or a imagination of his mind. The dialogue between these two is great because Nicholson delivers.
The movie best part is when Wendy wonders into Jack's study and reads his novel he has been writing. Ever sentence is all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. She grows ever more scared until Jack comes in and say he wants to bash her brains in. The chase ensues and Jack freezes in a hedge maze. This movie is absolutely fantastic. Nicholson's performs the role of a crazy man well. Please see this movie slowly go insane along with Jack.

ReplyDeleteI like how you are giving reviews of movies, but I have to tell you it was very confusing. Consider telling more about what the plot is instead of part you liked.
