      I wish I had a typewriter!

      Just looking at the heroine is scary! The child is so cute and the scenery is very good. Thinking about it, it is already a movie in the 1980s, so the little cutie has grown into an uncle, oh buy Karma! The twins have also grown into aunts. Is there anything more bizarre than twins?
      The soundtrack is so harsh, the decoration of the hotel is really good, this kind of weird feeling is really scary! The more the heroine looks, the more terrifying it becomes, and it's too terrifying to appear...

      "The Shining" comprehensive analysis

      After watching it ignorantly, when I read the comments, I feel that I am not watching the same movie as others.

      In fact, it means not understanding.
      The Shining thing is very abstract. The changes in the father are also very strange. As for the twins that appear from time to time, many interpretations can be made.
      It may be that the clues are not enough for me to make a complete interpretation, so I don't understand the whole story, or I understand it too mundane to dig out the scary part.
      Hope to see better reviews that can be recognized by me. From this point of view, this is a good...

      Isn't this a masterpiece in some ways?

      WOC is not a masterpiece from a certain point of view!
      Why do people say they can't understand it! Excessive reputation!
      Although the plot is somewhat obscure and lacks explanation, the color and soundtrack actors are all good, and many psychological factors used in the screenwriter have not been mentioned! It's not necessarily that I've watched too few movie reviews...
      Well, I won't talk about Kubrick's directorial style or anything, but tell me how I felt and understood when I...

      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 the golden day; in the German version , is: Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Before the movie was released, Kubrick needed to convince the Motion Picture Association of America...

      Kubrick is a master at dealing with "unconventional". In the opening aerial shot, ignoring the soundtrack, he deliberately placed the light and dark lines of light in the middle line, half of which is the dark forest to the depths, and the other half is the winding road that never ends. , it's really an excellent aerial shot of horror films. The big scheduling shots (more in the hotel) rarely appear in horror films because they break the space, until Wen Ziren once again relied on it to open up...

    Piercing lens

    Continuity: The size of the sandwich Danny was eating at the beginning of the movie.
    Continuity: When Jack and Danny are sitting on the bed and talking, the position of Jack's left hand in the camera keeps changing, sometimes the hand is behind him, and sometimes it is on Danny's shoulder.
    When Wendy was talking to Danny on the bed, it was obvious that there was a bug crawling down from the camera....

    Shooting process

    The shooting of "The Shining" was difficult and long. Because of Kubrick's methodical nature, it took more than a year to complete the main shooting alone.
    The film was shot at EMI Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, UK. The hotel set in the film was the largest set built at the time, including a full set of interior and exterior views of the hotel. A few exterior shots were taken from Timberline Lodge in Mount Hood, Oregon. , Part of the...

    Evaluation action

    The movie "The Shining" is not about ghosts, but madness, and the extent to which the human spirit can be amplified in isolation. (Comment by "Chicago Sun Times"   )
    There are not many real bloody and violent scenes in "The Shining", but it is shocking to see. The real horror lies in the psychology. Although the tone of the whole film is bright, you can see the entire hotel, whether it is as a whole or part, the lobby, corridors, and...
