not bad

I was very sleepy watching it, maybe because it was too late, but it was indeed a good movie, especially in 1990, when the plot was tight enough and the classic horror atmosphere was rendered, it was much better than The Shining style, because The Shining is more Early, in terms of now, "Dangerous Times" is still a good movie worth watching. But it seems that my definition of a thriller is limited to the final reversal of the plot. I can guess the ending of this movie, and the rendering in it does not make me feel real horror, but it is Stephen King's work after all. It's a pity that unlike other thrillers, you need to watch a movie for 3 hours, and then watch the movie again, this one is not needed.

Paul Sheldon: [holding a rolled-up page of his manuscript] Remember how for all those years, nobody knew who Misery's real father was, or if they'd ever be reunited? It's all right here. Does she finally marry Ian, or will it be Winthorne? It's all right here.

Annie Wilkes: Paul you can't!

Paul Sheldon: [Still holding the burning page] Why not? I learned it from you.
[Puts the burning page down onto his manuscript, already on the floor, burning it]
