This is a great fukken movie, the director captures the atmosphere so well. You watch it, and you almost get that cabin fever type feeling, even though the hotel seems spacious. They better not remake it, wtf? It will be stupid as shyt if they do. They will probably make the kid autistic and the inkeeper guy who hired Jack Nicholson's character gay. Just fukk the whole thing up.
Yeah you shouldn't even call it Stephen King's the Shining if you're referring to Stanley Kubrick's movie. Stephen King was pissed cause Kubrick changed so much. I have no intentions of watching the re-make which is supposed to be much closer to the book. From what I remember there was a lot of differences. I'll put it in spoilers in case someone hasn't read the book.
In the book, The motivation of the ghosts is to possess Jack Torrance to get him to kill Danny; if Danny dies in the Overlook, his "shining" ability will be absorbed along with all the other awful energies that are manifest there; the hotel itself is a sentient entity and so would become far more powerful and able to extend its powers beyond the confines of its grounds.
In the movie, the motive is more ambiguous but seems to be to "reclaim" Jack , who is apparently a reincarnation of a previous caretaker of the hotel, as suggested by the 1920s photograph of Jack and Jack's repeated claims to have "not just a deja vu".
There were also hedges shaped like animals that end up coming alive if I remember correctly. the movie had a maze.
Also Halloran doesn't die in the book. Kubrick killed him off
This I watched the movie like 10 years ago thought it was ok
Read the book and just rewatched the movie
I like the movie a lil more now
Black dude in the book was a hero
Hollywood
Read the book > then watch the movie
I haven't read the book but ima huge fan of the movie. So much so I have a habit of over analyzing the shyt whenever it's brought up or on TV . From what I hear like all Stephen king movies "the book was better", but in this case I wonder if that's true.
IMO the movie was a masterpiece. I know alot of that was largely due to Stanley Kubrick but I wonder why Kubrick decided to take the story in a different direction and end it differently than the book. Furthermore considering the movies success why was Stephen king still displeased with it.
The conspiracy theories surrounding the making of it are fascinating too
Is it time for a remake of The Shining or should it just be left alone? And if they do a remake should it follow the book more or kubricks version?
I don't giv a fukk what ya say, that story is DEEP. Jack Torrence symbolizes the weaknesses in every man...at the end of the day we're our own worst enemy
Read the book get the movie out your mouth

I used to love the movie but when I read the book I noticed that all of the emotion was missing in the adaptation.
