      Notice that Danny and Wendy don't do the kind of dumb stuff that characters usually do in horror films to advance the plot. They're isolated for a good reason and Wendy tries to maintain contact with the outside world, then when Jack is chasing them she does the best she can to keep them safe including arming herself with a knife. Danny back-tracking his footprints and covering up where he went has to make him one of the smartest protagonists in a horror film.

Jack had it the least and hid it from drinking.

    The music plays a very important part in Shining. The creepy, eerie music we hear in most of the Danny scenes (such a good little actor btw) like when he find the 237 door are extracts from the slow movement of "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta" by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. The music was written in 1936 to...celebrate the tenth anniversary of the chamber orchestra of Basler, Switzerland. So not even for the movie, and it's surprising considering how creepy it is and how it fits the scenes perfectly. The other compositions we hear throughout the movie contribute to the dramatic intensity of the scenes and are mostly works by the polish composer Krystof Penderecki, which are literally terrifying and were not composed for the movie either.

Its name is Das Irae ("The Day of Wrath" with lyrics and dates back to the 13th Century at LEAST.

    There is a therapeutic value to watching horror movies, which the film critic G.W. Devon Pack termed 'feurproben'- watching horror allows you to become familiar with your anxiety and fear in a safe environment, which in turn makes you more acclimated and prepared to handle fear if you're ever in a situation where you have to deal with it in real life.
    That being said, don't feel you need to torture yourself just because it's October. You might want to consider starting with the really old horror movie classics, things like the 1931 Dracula, Nosferatu, Val Lewton's The Cat People. Then slowly bring yourself forward to when horror starts getting more extreme. So start off in the 1920s, and that might help you to build up towards more modern horror.

    This movie had a lot of production problems:
    Shelly Duvall lost most of her hair due to the stressful reshoots she had to do,127 takes, for her scene where she was swinging the bat at Jack Nicholson.
    Kubrick would often argue with Duvall on how scene should be filmed.
    Nicholson slept on the set between scenes.
    Scatman Crothers, whom played Dick Halloran, had his scenes in the kitchen filmed 88 times and broke down crying saying, "What do you want from me, Mr Kubrick!?"
    A fire broke out near the set, where they were filming The Empire Strikes Back.
    The hedge maze scene was the most brutal and difficult to film as most of the crew would get lost in the maze and wouldn't find themselves out for an hour.

      Shelly Duvalll wasn't acting anymore she was so frightened from all the reshoots for the staircase-bat scene. Kubrick was not a kind director. Some could call it a very hostile work environment.
      He does bring to life amazing films.

      It's funny because one interpretation is that this location is where the "shadow" of the mind/spirit is physically located. It's a place where whatever you have repressed or not dealt with comes out and "possesses" the individual. Kubrick acting that way is quite, quite ironic.

    • @jessharvell1022
      @jessharvell1022 Рік тому +4

      it's funny, if you hear kubrick's family/non-movie friends talk it's always about what a warm, friendly guy he was, but from all evidence he could be a real bastard when he wanted.
      my favorite kubrick story about the endless takes is that harvey keitel was originally supposed to play the sydney pollack role in eyes wide shut, and after kubrick asked him to walk through a door one too many times he just said fuck this and quit.

      No, shelly duvall did not lose most of her hair at all. This story is always spouted out and is highly exaggerated. There's a making of doc you can watch where she says her hair is falling out to kubrick and he laughs at her because she's holding up one strand of hair.

    Scatman Crothers (the man who played Halloran) was most famous for voicing a cartoon character by the name of Hong Kong Phooey. If you've seen Disney's "The Aristocats", then you may recognize him as the voice of Scat Cat. Anyway, Stanley Kubrick was a perfectionist, you could say, because he wouldn't stop shooting a scene until it's absolutely right. He even put Shelly Duvall through a lot of hell. Well, Stephen King absolutely hated Kubrick's adaptation of the novel, so much so that he was involved in the production of the miniseries of the same name which followed the book more closely. There's also a sequel called "Doctor Sleep". The movie stars Obi-Wan Kenobi as Danny, now an adult. As for the hotel in the story, it was inspired by an ACTUAL hotel called The Stanley Hotel, which is where they filmed the miniseries. Stephen King even stayed in that hotel (in room 217 (not room 237)), which inspired him to write the novel. Ever since "The Shining", the building has become a setting for paranormal activity. I am dead serious. Edit: Black people usually never survive in a Horror film.

    I'm pretty sure most people that watch "The Shining" for the first time have no idea what they are getting themselves into, thinking it will be a mild horror movie, in reality it's 2+ hour of psychological torture! It's usually a film that people that don't really like horror movies choose to react to and almost immediately regret (which for those that have seen it many times before is kind of entertaining). The proverbial deer caught in headlights.
