Not scary at all

It’s not horrible at all. I’m not saying this to promote myself or to belittle this movie.

This film is not a horror movie at all. It should be classified as a social problem movie, because the kind of people the director wants to show can go crazy in loneliness. , He will see some things that he can’t see in the crowd. This is a normal psychological problem. I mean, when everyone is alone for a long time, there will be all kinds of fantasy possibilities. So, this is completely There is nothing to be afraid of, and this is not an unfounded ghost movie.

I will be the one who exposes the emperor's new clothes. I also don’t want to say that the so-and-so movie is scarier than this one, because it is unreasonable and everyone feels different, but as far as I am concerned, this movie is dull, boring, and the heroine is ugly. I have watched a lot of other movies of the leading actor. His temperament is not suitable for horror movies, so I can't associate him with horror movies.

What is the Shining? Is there a scientific basis? No, then I can’t frighten me; are there any hints of our nation’s legendary culture? No, it would not scare me even more.

In fact, this kind of novel has appeared

150 years ago. The Frenchman, Maupassant, is in a short story depicting a man and a dog in a snowy mountain. The story of keeping winter in the next house. He lost the dog. Then the dog seemed to come back and barked outside the door. He didn't dare to open the door. In the end he went mad. Until the beginning of the spring, people found the house in a mess. That man was already a dying lunatic. This novel reflects the psychopathic situation of people, such as social animals, when they are alone. Maupassant thought 150 years earlier than the Shining.

The Shining quotes

  • Jack Torrance: What are you doing down here?

    Wendy Torrance: [sobbing] I just wanted to talk to you.

    Jack Torrance: Okay, let's talk. What do you wanna talk about?

    Wendy Torrance: I can't really remember.

    Jack Torrance: You can't remember... Maybe it was about... Danny? Maybe it was about him. I think we should discuss Danny. I think we should discuss what should be done with him. What should be done with him?

    Wendy Torrance: I don't know.

    Jack Torrance: I don't think that's true. I think you have some very definite ideas about what should be done with Danny and I'd like to know what they are.

    Wendy Torrance: Well, I think... maybe... he should be taken to a doctor.

    Jack Torrance: You think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

    Wendy Torrance: Yes.

    Jack Torrance: When do you think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

    Wendy Torrance: As soon as possible...?

    Jack Torrance: [mocking/imitating her] As soon as possible...?

    Wendy Torrance: Jack! What are... you...

    Jack Torrance: You think his health might be at stake.

    Wendy Torrance: Y-Yes!

    Jack Torrance: You are concerned about him.

    Wendy Torrance: Yes!

    Jack Torrance: And are you concerned about me?

    Wendy Torrance: Of course I am!

    Jack Torrance: Of course you are! Have you ever thought about my responsibilities?

    Wendy Torrance: Oh Jack, what are you talking about?

    Jack Torrance: Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first. Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete confidence and "trust" in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a "contract," in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea what a "moral and ethical principal" is? Do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? Has it?

    Wendy Torrance: [swings the bat] Stay away from me!
